Split Second

For the next few months, the life for my family member will have huge changes. My mother has to go to Malaysia embassy and ask for a temporary passport to return to her home country. She has to apply for new valid documents there, settle down, and help me and my sister to apply, too. My father will go back with her as she is going to be scared alone in a place that she had not been seeing for 25 years. For us who are left in Singapore, we have to take care of ourselves and the house. That are going to be some plannings involved. 

Money, while my Mother is absent, 1/3 of the family income is gone. That means careful planning of the expanses cannot be avoided. She also does most of the household chore. Washing clothes, cleaning, buying the daily necessities. I'm sure with out her, there are going to be a lot of troubles surfacing that we never thought would have. 

Looking at the family, that is only one person who can arrange all these things, that person is me. That is a lot of pressure. Too many issues are coming together and there isn't much time. I know I have to come out with a plan and present to the family. But before that, I need some time to digest. The way I tackle this kind of problem is I let myself indulge in something for a few days and once I have had enough, I will just spend the whole day facing the problem seriously. 

I hope that works this time.
