The missus has just announced we will be eating on the floor this evening. We've done it before, she says. And I suppose we have, though I can't quite remember.
The table is unavailable for dining as it has been made massively available for biscuit trays and their attendant biscuits and all the cards and notes from Teachers' Day. Normally Noi and myself would eat at the coffee table - our default setting, in fact. But with Rozita, Fuad, Fifi & Fafa gracing us with their presence before we set off for an evening at the bazaar at Geylang that's not a feasible option. Hence the excitement of the floor as a dining area. And excitement it is, as I know well from the twinkle in Noi's eye as she made her announcement.
Yes the disruption caused by all the preparation for Raya is not really the price we pay for the fun of it all, it is the fun of it all.
