I was cleaning my room last night and found some cassette tapes in one of my boxes. What in the world am I keeping them for? I was curious.  Good thing my housemate still has a cassette player. So I borrowed it to check what’s on the tapes anyway.

I was surprised. I was tickled. For the next few minutes, I did nothing but listen to it. My thoughts travelled back home. One of the tapes has my family’s best wishes and songs they sang and recorded for me when I first left for Singapore in 2006. They cracked me up. Some songs they did so well with the guitar. Some…hmm…so out of tune yet so fun and sweet. Haha.

The old songs…the familiar noise – my father’s loud voice, my mother’s ramblings and singing, my sisters’ laughter, my nephews and niece’s cute, little voices… Sweet. Home, that is.

I’m glad I wasn’t quick to put the tapes to the recycle bin.
