家,是温暖的 Home is always pleasant

回来近一个星期了, 没怎么写有关马来西亚的生活。

有几个朋友关心,问我还好吗。

其实, 很好,谢谢。

回家,最温暖。

有妈妈体贴入微的照顾。衣食住行都无需担心。

只是,身体还很累,也还在适应这里炎热的天气。

除了见一些亲戚朋友, 大学教授刚批了我硕士论文的大纲,我也开始为写论文忙碌。

还有,我一向馋嘴,一到马就尽情享用街边小吃,却搞得肠胃不太舒服。

身为中医的爸爸要我戒口,不再让我吃刺激性强的食物。

天啊!回马不吃这些,就没了乐趣。

为此与爸口角,唉, 我这个不孝女, 虽知爸爸纯粹关心。

妹妹知道我要买一些电脑零件,也为我蹦跑采购便宜的。

家,有家人的嘘寒问暖, 很是温暖。

一切很好。 谢谢。

I have been back in Malaysia for nearly a week but have yet to write much about my home-home. A few friends had wondered how I have adjusted myself being back.

Returning home is always warm and pleasant feeling, and I am not talking about the 33 degree heat and 70% humidity. Mother is always around to look after me. I can totally relax and not worry about daily routines such as meals and laundry. But on the whole, I am still a little bit exhausted from the travels and time change, and is still adjusting to this hot and not-so-pleasant humidity from the cold and gray of the Canadian winter.

My lecturer has recently approved my proposal and content of my thesis for my TCM Masters. I’ve trying to balance between catching up with relatives and friends and writing the thesis.

Those in Malaysia knows that the street food is fantastic and full of variety, something Australia and Canada is missing. However, on this visit I found myself not too used to it and suffered from some mild gastrointestinal problems. My father, who is a Traditional Chinese Medicine doctor was quite worried and forbid me from eating anything that is too spicy, too sour or greasy. This frustrated me so much that I I had a small argument with him. I know it is very unwise of me to argue about such a trivial thing, knowing that my father was only looking out for my well being.

Everyone in my family is helping and looking after me so well and I am so appreciative of having such a wonderful family. So the answer is, “I guess I am adjusting rather well to being home after all.”
