Since last Hari Raya, I havent been putting up in my little cottage.
I missed her tremendously....Last February was the 1st anniversary of my little cottage...I have to give her up for awhile as I need to put up with my age parents.
Although it may not be a big place like my last home in far West of Singapore, but I am proud of having my little cottage. This little cottage of mine would be sufficient for me to grow old there. I love my very first home and it was a heart-ache to give her up after 8years, ...I tell myself that one day, I am going to have another one similar but smaller one. Year 2007 was the right time I got her after waiting for 3yrs....While waiting, I had to move many times to 2different places before I settled down emotionally and physically...at last I have a place call my own home again.
All my personal was kept and stored in my sis place for 3years...I had renovated the place simply and keep to the decorations simple but not losing the interest of keeping it ala--English-country style. I finally got to see all my favourite furniture put up again...especially happy to see all my Royal Doulton-country roses collection being put up again in the little Victorian style, glass displayed cabinet, my white Spanish handmade chest & drawer, my green Korean Chest Drawer, my white French folded table and all of them are neatly displayed.I treasured them as I have kept them with me for close to 11years!
As both my tenants is away for vacations , I took the oppurtunity to visit my little cottage and spring cleaning her. This is my 2nd night there since I came yesterday. This little cottage has alot of sentimental memories from the start it is there...hmmmmmm not telling why yet...I hope once I accomplished some of my 'commitments', in 2yrs time I hope to be able to live there permanently. Many things I missed...cooking in my own home and inviting friends for cup of tea....I look forward that one day I will be able to move there again as soon I can.
In life I have walked through a rough road before, I thank Allah for giving me patience and to finally be able to start and build my dreams again....finding me a shelter for me to grow old..Ya Allah , Thank you!
