How Far I've Come

Hehe. This post was supposed to be before I left. But oh well.

2009- Back Home.

I think being alone this year, as I have been for the past few years, I realised how far I've come, what I am capable of. Alone as in alone without my sisters and brother here. This year without them, I feel that I have matured at least a little, for I have had to prepare gifts by myself and carry a few responsibilities by myself.

For Mother's Day and Father's Day, I had to prepare the gifts and special food for them. I'm happy because I was able to surprise them and let them have that moment of happiness. For Mother's Day, (just to recap, I have posted about this haha) I bought Ngiu Chap and flowers for my awesome mum. And for Father's Day (have I posted about this?) I bought a coffee bean cake for him and Häagen-Dazs. Haha. I also had to make cards for them both myself. It was really a new thing for me because me and my sisters usually do these things together, and Kat would make the cards.

I have matured a little also because with me studying late some days, I made sure that everything was locked up before going to bed. Probably it is paranoia. Haha. Also when mum was gone, I would always make an effort to eat dinner with him, even if it meant waiting until 9pm to eat. Though we usually eat in silence, it is still worth it.

Well.. I don't know what else. I guess I just realised that if I put my heart into something, not only that but also scream and grunt and pull myself off my gigantic, lethargic butt, I can do it. Haha.
