kopi-o


I m homesick...

especially when I am not feeling well these days, I miss home terribly ..

Yesterday night I had a dream - I was back to hometown, and one of my friend met me in morning market. She asked me"hey you are now working in NZ right, how come you are here?" Her face is full of surprise when seeing me in person...What's wrong, am I really leave home for long? People that meet me feel surprise to see me at home town, strange, strange... I am "Kangarian" (not Kangaroo) okay, mate! Yeah indeed I leave home for many many years since I studied at UTM in 1998..

The other day I managed to see a ping pong biscuit at the asean shop and I miss this biscuit quite some time ago. So I decided to buy one and today since I am resting at home, with my pyjama on in the afternoon, tummy feel a bit hungry, I made a cup of kopi-o (given by my cousin) and ate with the ping pong biscuit. Yum! But in fact , it makes me homesick more (not to deny).

Kopi-o reminds me so much of my grandma. I used to make a big cup of kopi-o for my grandma especially in the early morning and in the afternoon. I always need to add some more sugars into that big cup as grandma prefer sweet coffee and asked grandma "Grandma, try to sip the coffee, how's that? too sweet or need more sugar? Sometimes I add too much of sugar, and grandma gently said to me "can you add some hot water... "kakakka..hmm I missed my grandma.. hmm.

I miss my mum , i miss my family.. working oversea alone really needs to be stronger . . . Anyway, this is the path I choose, I have to deal with it...
