So I'll soon be going away for a few months to study - I won't ever have been away from home for such an extended stretch of time, and I'm worried about (a) hor fun/hae mee/bak kut teh deprivation and MSG withdrawal symptoms; (b) do I even remember how to study?!; (c) how will I function without my wife telling me where I'm supposed to be :D Everyday, when I get back home from work, I ask my kids and wife "how's your day?".  Those simple three words make my family a family - we share our adventures, if we've had a tough day and are tired out, or if something cool has happened and we're excited, or sometimes just something inane - "Masterchef's new episode is out today!" or "Daddy, I gotta tell you how I got a team wipe in Dota!"  And at the end of the night, my wife and I give the kids a hug (I'm so glad I still get these now that they're both in their teens!), and we wrap up with "see you tomorrow!"
