We had a stall in Bedok Food Centre selling popiah. It has been there for a few years and business has been quite good and we have a few loyal customers who will patronize our stall like almost every other day. Recently, we bought over one of the stall in the food centre and wanted to set up our own stall. We decided to give up on the popiah stall and concentrate on selling Prawn Mee Soup. This decision was made hoping that it will lighten the load on my mum's shoulders because she will have to do less preparation at home.
But things turned out to be worse than what we ALL expected. Mummy's workload increased tremendously because she had to go down to the stall to cook the soup and tend the stall with my aunt because my aunt is not very familiar. To make matters worse, business is rather bad ( but we all expected it) and a lot of customers actually asked us when the popiah will be back. After much struggle, we decided to sell the popiah again but we all know that this is going to be very challenging for my mum and also for me and my sis.
Apart from the stall, the challenge that me and my sis faced is actually the emptiness of the house. We are so used to having our mum at home with us and now without her, we have to take care of the house and we are just not used to the emptiness. But thank God, my girlfriend is here, first to pull me out of my own "depression" and then, she almost single-handedly bring my sis out of it too. She also gave my mum her assurance that everything at home will be fine because both of us will take good care of my sis.
Below are some photos of us having fun while trying to piece a jig saw puzzle together! =)
I really thank God for putting this wonderful girl into my life. Amen.
