A purrrfect holiday :)

Holiday's over. Sigghhh....

It had been good to go back to my parents place and be pampered by them. It's somehow hard to be the efficient, think-on-your-feet corporate superwoman at home with your parents when they cook your favourite food, scold you when you eat with your left hand (I tend to do that when I'm using the spoon to eat :p) and drive you to town to take you shopping. Yep, to them I'm still their little girl who still needs to be taken care of. But it is wonderful to be able to just let go, not having to be in control for just a few days. Going back to the parents' place is like going into my very own sanctuary. I can feel the stress and work-related worries leaving me the closer that I get to home.

I wanted to write more. I had a few things in mind to write about but I just couldn't bear to go sit for long at the computer and type it up. One of these days perhaps, you may get to read what's on my mind ;) So my three days at home was spent eating, sleeping, talking, eating, sleeping, eating, shopping and eating again. The only strenuous activity that I did in the three days is trying to "tackle" my parent's cat.

Early last year, a female cat who often frequented the house had unceremoniously dropped her kitten at my parents' doorsteps. Since then, my parents had been feeding him at the kitchen's yard, which it now had made it his home. However, for some reason, it is very wary of humans. The first time that I saw the cat after I got back from UK, it ran away just from the sight of me. But after the third time that I went back, the cat finally accepted that this new person actually belongs to this place as well. Having said that, it only allowed me to feed him but not to touch him.

This time around, I spent more time with him, feeding him, talking to him that he trust me enough to come and rub his head around my legs. But whenever I bend down to touch him, he'll ran a few steps away and then starts to guling2 while giving me the "seductive" looks. And if I go to him, he'll ran away a few more steps and do the guling2 again. Really!! Macam heroine Hindustan :p

Well, as of tonight, I finally got to stroke him, but only during feeding time. Under sufferance, that's how my mother had described it.

Tomorrow, it's back to dealing with people again. Sigghh...
