Its been so long ever since I've gone for a holiday. Managed to plan a 2 weeks trip in January to Australia. The entire holiday was fun.
I've got to see my sister and her family. Even better that I finally got to spend my time with my precious lil' boy - Ethan (I've not seen him for close to 3 months), we had a great time together with my second boy Isaac.
Being a mum is really not an easy task. At least I've the chance to be with them in seeing them growing up. Time really flies, phew..!! Ethan is already 4+ this year and will turn 5 in December '10. Never imagine that, now me being in Australia and my only intention apart for going for a short vacation is to personally experience in bring my lil' boy to Kindy @ Good Shepherd Catholic Primary.
It was fun, seeing my boy enjoyed himself in school. The best part was, after every school section, he will tell me how he had enjoyed and spent his time at school doing activities that was organized by his respective class teacher.
I think school is really fun, especially I think Ethan is very lucky to have a chance to study in Australia. Where they get to experience everything and learn thru the experiences. He would brag what he had learnt in school and going to the playground in school is one of activities he enjoyed most.
No doubt on the first day of school he did shed a tear but thank God he recovered quickly and get adapted to school life pretty soon. According to his class teachers he did a really good job by participating in every task that was instructed during the school hours. I'm so proud of my lil' boy.
But time really passed quickly during vacations. My 2 weeks vacation soon to end I was so desprate and unwilling to leave as my lil baby cried and beg mummy to stay back with him in Australia so that I can accompany him and send him to school personally.
Lots of my friends hated the idea of me sending Ethan to school in Australia. But being a mum, this is not an easy task or situation to face with. Imagine my baby boy has grown up so quickly and never before left me for such a long time. And I have to suffer by being living seperately with him totally in 2 different country. The only way for us to keep in touch and communicate is only via phone and Skype.
On my last day before departing Australia back to Malaysia, Ethan did not sleep well that night as he woke up couple of time talking to me sleepily to tell me how he miss mummy and wanted mummy to stay with him.
What I could do was to comfort him and tell him that mummy is going back to Malaysia to work and earn more money for our better future. I was being so naive thinking that Ethan will understand, instead he told me "mummy can you go back to Malaysia and quit working? If mummy can't do so I want to go back to Malaysia to be with mummy".
After listening to all this, I was still not convince as I was unable to convince my lil boy to be more independent to live in Australia to finish his kindy at least. I used my another method that I thought it will usually work on him, I told him that "mummy needs to find more money to buy you your favourite toys - Thomas and Friends, so mummy really needs to go back and work. Once mummy get enough money, mummy will return to be with you". Instead of being able to calm him down, he cried and told me "mummy Ethan don't want any Thomas and Friends, Ethan only wants to be with mummy, please bring me home with you".
I assume if every mummy listen to this they will feel the way I felt. Its so sweet hearing those words from him but I had no choice to go according to what he had said and agreed that to be with him. After listening what I told him, he was satisfy and went to bed but yet he was still uncertain and cried holding me closely and not wanting to let me go.
The day had arrived (7th February) my flight back to Malaysia is at 0630. I woke up at 0330 to get myself prepared, looking at Ethan I was so sad and really thought of giving up my plane ticket as well as my job in Malaysia to stay with Ethan. But I know I can't! Instead after getting myself ready, I ready Isaac as well by changing him. Sis sent us to the airport, upon checked in, I received a call from daddy saying that Ethan woke up and cried looking high and low the entire house looking for mummy and his lil brother Isaac.
I was so depressed and I know I can't let Ethan down. So my plan is to move back to Australia. When? Soon I reckon, as I still need to settle off my stuff in Malaysia.
Ethan... mummy won't be long, mummy will return to Australia together with daddy and lil' Isaac to be with you. Mummy loves you darling Ethan!! Daddy and Isaac loves you too...!!
Its only been 4 days since I'm back to Malaysia, and I'm already starting to miss my lil boy. Today on the 10th February, Ethan spoke to me over the phone before he headed off to school. Before he put the phone down he did gave me a flying kiss and saying I love you mummy...!!
My precious lil boy... mummy loves you too...!! Take really good care of yourself and mum will be back!
