“I’m goin’ on a trip”

said Alec yesterday when he was going to stay at grandma’s place for the first time for 2 nights. He was eager to go there because they have computers with broadband Internet connection in their condo’s resident club house, so he thought he could play computer games all day without M and I nagging him to study.

This has been a weird experience for me. Kind of like a sudden temporal flux. As I am still technically on Chinese New Year holiday, without having Alec around at home for the first time seems like he has grown up to a son-going-oversea’s-age-and-time kind of feeling for me. With M going over this afternoon to make sure Alec studies his school books I ended up coming back to the office cutting my holidays a day short.

Although Alec has much less experience being independent than I used to be at this same age, kids still seem to be growing to damn fast. It seems like only last week that I had to sing him lullabies. Maybe I should recalculate my remaining temporal continuum moving everything up a few year earlier.
