If you read the last post which was month ago, there's a mood swing in my soul. Knowing how much I need and love my parents, I take all my words back but I won't delete the post as it will be a reminder for me not to do something like that again. I know how much my parent are paying off to secure my life, to give me the best they can. They are my pillar of strength. Although they didn't mention a single words about how hard or how not well their life is, I can feel the tension of them.
I'm a girl who like to travel, like to take photo, as they declared. I thought I'm quite a sensible child, but sometime I feel like I am thinking way too over than reality should be. I ask for an ocean when my parents are trying so hard to give me a rive full of fishes. I ask for a personal helicopter when my parents are putting they head together to get me a car. I reminded myself again and again to cherish whatever I have, don't ask for more when I already have the best from my daddy and mummy. Yet, I can't do it. Something that I have to learn from my brother is he never ask or required a single thing from parent during a shopping day nor his birthday. He was still doing fine without all the glamorous and pricy stuffs. "Don't set a limit, it will limit you. But set a limit so that you won't go over the limit and regret later."
I booked a ticket to Korea couple of months ago when I'm doing my final. Feeling over excited for the first Korea trip, and now it calls a halt due to the terrifying MERS problem at the country. Daddy give me an option to choose another county that I would like to travel to. I told them I want to go Taiwan because I am familiar with the country since that I have been there quite a few time before this. In their mind, I am still like a little girl with my nappy, they will never putting their heart down to let me travel alone. During a dinner time with family, I just create a topic that my college friend is traveling to Australia during the date I am going to Korea. Without further ado, they replied balmily.
" Why not you go Australia with your friend."
I promise them I will take a lot of photos along the journey for them.
With their souls and wishes, I will step on this kangaroo country in five days time.
Parents, thanks for letting me to travel with my friend to this country which is 8 hours flight away from Malaysia. Thanks for the straightforward agreement for me to go there without checking how expensive the flight ticket was. Thanks for placing me there when you know that the expenses there will be an immense one.
I am greedy, one side of me tell me to cherish whatever I have now, to not putting on parents' financial burden, to not get something better that my parents never experience before, but the evil side of me tells me to go ahead with my plan. I slap myself to wake me up, from this dream, but fortunately my parents shake me in a more dreamy wonderland. Thanks for all your toleration to my nonsense demands.
I promise that, I the coming future, I will let you, my parents, to travel without worry, like what I have now.
