It hurts to say 'Good-bye'
I really enjoyed the last month and a half. My mom in law was in town and we always have a great time together. We really do enjoy each others company. Be it shopping, recipe swapping or plain gossiping time flies when we are together. This time too I felt that time flew. Well yesterday was not one of my best days, because we dropped her off at the airport. Though we did not say much to each other, both of us knew exactly how the other felt. Our moist eyes did the job. Even little princess felt that something was not right.
Now we are back to our daily routine, which even sounds boring. No more long afternoon chats or the thrill of window shopping. Will definitely miss mom in law's special cooking yummy and oozing with love. My poor little princess, searches for 'daadi' and then reminds herself that she has gone to India. She is missing a playmate too. All I hope for now is that time flies again till either we go home or mom in law comes back.

City of Malls
When I first arrived in Jakarta, I was overwhelmed. There was no one we knew and hardly understood the language. So while hubby dear was busy at work, I visited the malls. Suddenly a whole new world opened up. The polite salesgirls were like friends, trying to decipher my Bahasa, while speaking their version of English. And time flew.
Now I have settled here and know some of the malls like the back of my hand. There are so many malls here, I call Jakarta-"City of Malls". That is how I describe it to friends and family back home. Naturally when they visit us here, we take them to as many malls as possible. That is what we are doing these days, mom-in-law and myself, repeating what we did back home a few years ago. Finishing off the chores by mid-morning, off we go, returning just before hubby dear does.
Going to the malls almost everyday, does not mean we buy all the time. We enjoy window-shopping ( I call it-"Malling") as much as the real thing.Checking out the latest trends in clothing and accessories is great. It gives us a lot of ideas to revamp our wardrobes. And when really shopping we enjoy bargaining as well. That is a different thrill altogether.
Obviously, I miss my gym sessions due to these outings, but I guess walking the corridors and aisles of the malls does burn a few calories.
