The Min’s and a Bad Sore Throat Day
We’re now at the Min’s. This little cottage looked exactly like those we have in
In the afternoon, after eating too much spicy food, I had very bad sore throat. CrueMin’s aunt had specially boiled some herb for me to help me reduce the pain on my throat. Oh, it was so…o….o bitter. Mrs.Min had already warned me that it’ll be very bitter but it’ll be for the better. After drinking that extremely bitter herb (as bitter as the bitter gourd), I doze off to bed as I was very tired after 3 days of running around
6a.m in the morning…
I woke up early this morning looking at the bright sun and listening to the birds chirping sweetly standing near the window paint. The morning breeze blew through the window as I looked out of it. Lovely, how lovely is it. Being in a Korean like home, yet situated in a different country. I’m writing in front of these beautiful scenery, green grasses, meadows and hills. Oh it is lovely to be here. Yes, the Min’s are staying further away from the city, where all the trees and hills are situated. It really reminds me of the 10 year old me when I’m still staying in the wooden house. We can see only greenery and happiness although we’re suffering from poverty but we’re very happy people, all of us.
Is not that we’re not happy now, but we kind of take things for granted and take things very lightly. We don’t really cherish tiny little deeds like last time anymore. No wonder people use to say that when you are rich you don’t really appreciate as much as when you are poorer. Poor people get contented easily. They have a very simple mindset and because of that they’ll have lesser pressure and lesser things to worry about. They need not need to choose from so many branded goods to satisfy their needs and desire. They just have to look out for economical or affordable goods so that they will spend their money wisely.
In the small wooden house seemed to have tied our “Big” family together. Maybe it is because all of us are crammed up in one house. Hehe… We never complained about staying together because we enjoyed each others company. During that time, we do not even have a small TV as we were too poor to afford it. There is surely no couch potato at home for the first 10 years of my life. This was why we’re much knitted together as our only company was “each other”. As for the recent years of my life, we were not as closely knitted anymore. There seem to be more sibling rivalry too. Example, fighting for the TV remote controller.
We began have our own daily activities and have burden ourselves with so many extra activities that we do not have enough time for each other. I do miss our old life style. Money can’t buy anything. Can’t buy happiness, can’t buy family closeness, can’t buy friendship, can’t buy Joy, can’t buy Peace, can’t buy Love but it sometimes can bring pain due to Greed!
“HuTien, HuShin are you both awake?”, Mrs. Min is asking for us now. “Wake up ‘jamae’, Mrs. Min is calling us already, I believe is breakfast time ‘jamae’”, I tried to waking HuShin up. I wondered why she is such a sleeping beauty when she is having a break. That’s not her, I’m always later then her. She was still sleeping soundly like a peaceful child just needed more rest in a day. I just left her there sleeping and not waking her up because I understand that it’ll be good for her to rest well because we have all the time in the world. It is holidays anyway. I took my digital camera (that I bought from home) along together with my notepad so that I can scribble anything important for my future use.
I met with CrueMin downstairs and he looked different in his homey attire, like a small boy look. Kidda cute. We just greet each other a good morning and Mrs. Min called for me again from her kitchen asking me if I could give her a hand. I just smiled at CrueMin and went into the kitchen. We’re having western food for breakfast this time. I truly appreciate that from Mrs. Min. Although I’m fully recovered from the sore throat, I’m glad that I do not have to force myself into spicy Korean dish.
