I can almost die from the many hours of smiling, talking and laughing, that I'm too tired to change the current expression. it's like stuck there. I'm even more tired than running 2.4km! (okay maybe that's a little bit too much...) but go and try standing in the kitchen beside the sink for half an hour and do nothing but wash those dishes while entertaining the curious aunties of today who insists that I'm ready for
life of the big M when I've yet to even enter adulthood- you'll know what I mean after that. but then again, i wonder if i'm not the only going through this phase. one family enters the house and I start to enter the kitchen. once they step into the kitchen, I'm already by the sink. lucky thing you have (surprisingly) reliable brother that can help to lighten the load. the things that you do once a year are definitely worth ignoring studies over for once!
oh and i realise that families that dress up according to colour themes look so much more united! but that doesn't mean those who dress up according to their individual preferences are no better! sometimes, you can be shocked at how some colours just make some people go OH-HOLY-HEAD-TURNING-SENSATION! but I thought my parents looked more vogue this year, something you'd (or even us children from Mars) rarely get to witness. of course, that doesn't mean that they throw themselves in front of the camera at any given opportunity. instead, ignorance is the way to go for them.
the other pictures for raya is in the camera and for now, I can't seem to remember where I kept the USB cable. this is worrying since my room is at its neatest, cleanest and spacious at this instance. at other times, i'm way too ashamed to mention its state.
comments from members of the family:
(before spring cleaning)Father: Kalau Pasar Geylang tu belom renovate pon lagi kemas! Tapi sejak Pasar Geylang dah renovte, rupenye bilik ni la yang jadi penggantinya.
Mother: Tak boleh ke kite panggil contractor kat Geylang to upgrade tanah terbiar ni? Kalau contractor untuk lift upgrading ni pon boleh. Suroh die tebok pintu buat lift sekali.
Elder Brother: Eh takpe la bilik die macam gini... Raya nanti, kalau orang datang rumah kita, dapat free entrance to Zoo! Kalau malam, jadi Night Safari! Ini confirm ada species binatang yang belom diketemui lagi!
(after spring cleaning)Younger Brother: Mami ada buat land reclamation eh?
Mother: Tak, tapi tadi ada ribut datang angkut semua sampah sarap yang ada kat dalam bilik tu aje.
so as we clicked and clicked more memories, and showered each other with more love and care, I can only thank God for this overflowing love that is going around as I see it with my own eyes in disbelief but with much pleasure and contentment. some things are definitely impossibly replaceable. big families with even bigger hearts are my way of life.
speaking of my ideal way of life, I've always wanted to live a life in a dormitory, without the useful presence of parents. I need to learn to be more independent and oh, feminine. this includes the many characteristics of a mature young lady that I seem to lack or have no interest in developing any.
but then again, maybe all I need is a younger sister - inference from a younger cousin's way of life and experience. Seriously, she is more responsible than I was at her age! thinking back, I was really pampered then (and even now actually)!
and finally to comfort my disappointed self and even more sad heart, I decide to pamper myself with some Big Bang videos and Family Outing series. this is the consequence of thinking I wouldn't fall asleep when I know that I am already very tired and in desperate need of those precious beauty sleep.
Okay off to youtube! :)))
