A weekend without hubby

Our first weekend without each other since married life a year ago. Before we got married, we can't wait to see each other every moment. After getting married, we got used to seeing each other every day and settle down into a comfortable routine. Life may not be as exciting, lined up with paktok-ing activities, but it allows us to focus on achieving our lifetime goals while juggling family time. Each week is a hectic rush.

When Mr. Ong mentioned that his friends are going Bangkok, i know how much he wants to go. Making a suit was an official reason, but his underlying reason to spend a holiday trip with his friends couldn't be contained. The urge for me to go overseas has dwindled, hence, it was decided that Mr. Ong was to proceed without me.

Definitely I was trying to suppress the desire to keep him by my side. By eventually, the weekend turned out as an extremely well spent weekend with my family. Since married, I could only be home for a few hours each week, just home for dinner. Though I had opportunity to talk to my family, it was just too short and the feeling was different. Over the weekend, I spent so much time with my family, and see their happy faces welcoming me home, I knew it was a great decision I made. My mum and dad welcomed me home with open hands, ensuring that my stay was extremely comfortable, from preparing my fav dishes to my fav bolster :) it was such a homecoming experience.

In addition, it was a fruitful weekend - yoga, dinner with friends, website review, household chores, dinner with family.

If I were to choose again, I would still let my hubby go on holiday with his friends, without me tagging alone. After marriage, spending time with parents and siblings is a luxury indeed.
