Not that the title leads us to this entry, but just that I just had lunch at this CURRY CHA CHAN TENG...I mean, it is seriously JUST curry. So you can imagine the scene...crowded, shared table, "open kitchen" just buzzing unches away...So 20 mins and HK$38 later...I am left with this overpowering curry "fragrance" all over me. And hence...I can't help but start off my first blog entry for MONTHS...with this introduction.
Scrolling back and reading off Sharon's past entries, it all seems surreal that WE FINALLY MADE IT. I can't tell you enough of the stress and madness both sides were having, but all I can say is...never again...
Looking at the pictures taken last weekend, you will see how much we have missed THE family. How much we have needed to be under the same roof, and how much all the $$$ savings can't match this... The picture tells it all.
Before making this move, we crossed numerous bridges, and we rerouted on many decisions. But short of saying it is all worth it, I am very sure we grew up a lot as a family living through these decisions.
Is it the end of the challenges? Of course not. We are now pushed to the corner in sending Iggie to day school, and the absolute change in environment is proving a stern test for our little boy.
How my heart sinks everday when he bravely expresses his thoughts of "I dun want to go to school...because the school is not fun...". How my heart sinks lower when he bravely holds back his tears...How my heart stops beating when I walk away from a tearing boy. He is afterall only 4 years old, and I have put him in the most uncomfortable position...facing new friends, new environment, new nationalities, new teachers, new accent...all alone.
I am not sure if this is the right, or the best, but I am sure he will stand tall to face up to all these today, and similarly so in his future years.
Dad loves you both, Iggie...Nick..., and thank you, Sharon...
