far

One of the best things about being 'far' away from home is that you get pampered more often. (I placed inverted commas on far because those who knows me would scoff at my statement. I'd say Ampang is relatively far from Cyberjaya).

For one, I get to be picked up by either my mom or dad at the end of the week. During the 45-minute drive, I get to let out all my frustrations, dissatisfactions and emotions. Not only do they make me see sense, but they listen- like really listen. I'd have to say that the drive back or to ampang would be where I have the most quality time with them. And before we know it - "oh! we're here already!"

The best thing of course would be that you appreciate things from home which you don't really appreciate when you're at home. Sometimes when my dad drops by to his cyberjaya office, he'd always take me out to lunch or early dinner or bring some things along:)

This morning though, I was waiting for my Graphics Tablet which I asked my parents to pass to Aki (seeing as to how I didn't go back to Ampang this weekend). And instead of just my beloved Wacom Graphire 4, there were also a packet of keropok, camera that I left at home, aaaand: Discovery Channel's LATEST magazine:D

So, I had a pleasant time munching on the keropok while flipping though the magazine just now. Thank you Ummi and Ayah:)

So yes, living 'far' away from home has its pros and cons. But if you get to go home every weekend (like me), be picked up by your parents and get occasional treats, it's definitely pros over cons:)
