Dream is always free. Wishlist is also free.
I've always wished for ...
1) Helper
Some of my friends stay with their parents/in laws or few houses away from them and I think this is a great blessing. Looking at how my grandma takes care of her youngest grandson makes me tear. I told her the other day to stay over my place for a few days during the holidays but she told me that her grandson is still small, and Aunty needs her help. I silently wished that I have someone staying with me that can help me with my kids. Or at least help me with the cooking. Or at least help to look after the kids while I quickly go and get some groceries done. Or going to my mom's place over the weekend and have a nice home-cooked meal. I wished we are staying few stones away.
2) Dating for free
Those days, dating was free. Today, with two kids.. if we want to go for a date, babysitter alone for two kids already cost us RM120, for a full day care. Thinking about that amount of money, we decided not to go dating but use that money and dine in as a family of four. I wished I have someone that can keep an eye on our kids for few hours and we can have a nice date out together. Hands in hands. I actually lost count the last movie that we watched together, I guessed it was Transformers 2 in year 2009. Not to mention of catching movies together, we never get to go for dinner dates ever since I stopped working.
3) Travel
I like the concept of ta-pao the whole family and go! Packing the kids clothes and necessities is so much fun. More fun if we get to fly together. Even though it can be exhausting with two toddlers in the cargo, but spending time together as a family is worth all the sweat. I actually don't mind, as long as we can all be together. I just like it if we can afford to pay flight tickets for all and go for a nice relaxing holiday. I don't mind flying to Langkawi. But Langkawi alone already cost us almost RM2k. With that fees to pay, I think we can fly to Krabi/Phuket/Pattaya which I think is more fun.
4) Migrating
With the so many hoo-haas that is happening now, it's just so hard to sit down and relax. I felt a little stressed out thinking about my kids future. Quite a number of my friends are now migrating. Some to Aus, some to HK, some to Europe, some to NZ.. oh well, I wish I'm one of them too. But migrating is never easy. Unless you are single, I think it's much easier to plan. With a family, you need to weigh out the pros and cons, whether you can survive at the other side of the world. Many of my friends did it, I believe we can too if we try? Oh well, this dream is a little too big to think off. And it will always remain as my dream/wishlist.
Nevertheless, I'm thankful for what I have today. A healthy growing family. A strong leader (husband) at home. Two healthy kids. Those things above are just what I wished for..... and how nice if it can ever happen. =)
