25 March

The weather continues to be cold actually freezing. Over here, due to the cold, many people just stayed indoor most of the time. That made life very miserable for me. I missed the familiarities back home. Days like these, I teared easily.

I missed greeting the sweeper every morning when bringing Ann to school.
The fish uncle who always told me to buy his fresh but expensive codfish.
The butcher who always knew what cut I wanted.
The vegetable brothers who knew I would look for my 'emperor's spinach'.
The cold storage cashiers who always said 'hi'.

Mum, just downstairs, my sister, across the street and my uncle just next block.
