Blame the system.

Its empty now, no more gathering, no longer the house will be crowded with relatives. Well that is of cause until the next wedding or Hari Raya. Everyone is returning to the usual slow pace they should be.

Malacca has a phenomenon. On any given day, the road will be and stay empty but mysteriously on certain occasion for example weddings or Friday prayers the road will be filled with cars. Running to Malacca to escape traffic jam in Kuala Lumpur?, wrong again we do have traffic jams here. But I wonder where do the people hide during normal days.

Once the wedding was over, people will continue their routine as usual. No rushing, no hustle , no loud noise just a plain day. The last time i see people gathering near grandmother house was yesterday when they were dissembling the tent. That was it.

Grandmother house is also in affected by this phenomenon i think, no more lining up to the bathroom, no shouting "my turn..my turn" just grandmother and grandfather moving slowly. Dining time was rather quiet too, but my grandparents are okay with that. They certainly would love the company, but being on their own, they would not mind.

Its like they know what to do next. Visiting neighbours, tending their garden, or clean the house. Monday this and that, Tuesday other stuff and direct selling sale people. They really have it all figured out. I am ashamed by the fact that our generation these days are always bored because having nothing to do. shame on you and shame on me.
