小康之家 Family Reunion

(Dear English readers, please scroll down to find the click for English translation )

我回马已有几天。弟弟比我早几天回马。

我从澳洲回,他从中国回。

我是在将往加拿大开始新生活的当儿,回马和家人聚一聚。 弟则是刚从中国学中医毕业回来。在过去弟弟留学 的两年期间,我俩没在马碰到面。现在,难得一家团聚。

我还有一个妹妹, 正在家附近的学院念电子学。她最近有了个男朋友- 人乖巧,对她还蛮好的。弟弟也有个女朋友,也是人乖巧,对他蛮好。我和Ed 在一起也很开心。 家里多了几个成员,多了两个中医,我想爸妈最高兴。

今天想到这里,我突然有感而发, 幸福感油然而起。庆幸我的家是个快乐又平凡的小康之家。

我家经过艰苦的经济风暴,多谢爸妈努力经营,现在三餐温饱,我们有升学的机会。我家也曾经历过痛失我另一个弟弟的悲伤, 现在家人因此更珍惜彼此。虽然,家里仍有我们的烦恼,可难得一家人健康和和睦相处。

Ed 常说我怎么常常有数不完的梦想,而他只是想过平凡简单的生活。今天,我才发现, 原来我也是个爱平凡简单生活的人。

原来,快乐真的可以很简单。

It has been a few days – I came back from Australia and my younger brother came back from China.

On my way to Toronto to start a new life, I am here to spend some times with my family. My brother returned home from his Chinese Medicine studies in China. For the past two years, we did not have the chance to see each other. Finally, as a family, we all reunited again in Malaysia. My parents are very happy not only that we are back and also we both recently graduated from Chinese Medicine studies.

I also have a younger sister studying electrical engineering in a college nearby. She recently has a boyfriend who treats her quite well and like a princess. Both my brother and I also have quite stable and happy relationships.

When I think of it, I suddenly feel very fortunate to have such a simple and happy family.

My family has been through financial difficulties during the Asia economic crisis and a sad loss to my other younger brother. Feeling extreme gratitude to my parents who pulled the family together and rebuilt with more strength, now we can enjoy this harmonious family and a life with stability and opportunities to study. Of course, we still have our own problems. What’s important to me is we really appreciate each other.

Ed always wonders why I have endless dreams and ideals. For him, a very simple and ordinary life is good enough. Today, I realized, I do also love simple and ordinary life.

In fact, happiness can be so ordinary and simple.
