So, the kitchen is fully stocked now, with goodies for everyone! It's nice walking down the aisle, picking up stuff from the shelves and putting them into the trolley. Pretty relaxing and enjoyable an activity after a day at school.
The nostalgic part? I miss the childhood days when the entire family will head down to the supermarket and engage in grocery shopping together. We get to sit on the small seat right in front of the trolley and get pushed around. I remember that we'll grab things we really like, for example, chocolates or biscuits and literally beg for Mummy to buy them for us. We'll get real disappointed when our requests are dismissed to a stern 'put them back' and real excited when our wishes are granted. It's memories like these that are so worthy.
Now, with everyone in the family busy, this monthly affair has slowly evolved to just me and Auntie running the errands. Don't get me wrong, I am not complaining or taking it on as a burden. Like I said, I enjoy what I do. Just that, wouldn't it be so much more fun with a crowd, even it's just discussing about food, nutrition, packaging etc.?
I wouldn't mind being a child all over again.
