of family

I miss the blogger app so I can post stuffs from my phone and upload photos from my phone coz I am too lazy to transfer photos from camera/phone to laptop but anyway...

let's talk something about family. 

am 24 this year...well not too old but what I am trying to say is that as I grow older, I find that family is so so so precious, I can't love them enough. 

it's not like I I don't love them when I was younger but who hasn't been young who hasn't been a rebel in the younger days? rebellious af, always on the phone, always in the room, always isolate self to dad and mom, always asking for this and that etc...you know better than me. 

so I went home for a weekend, which is kinda crazy, which is also what some people say such a waste of time and blablabalbla. 

well, I did thought of going back for such a short period or not but I am back here in Sydney again, I did not regret a single bit. Home is definitely the best place to be.

the main reason to go home this time for only a weekend is to participate in a surprise mission for my mom, planned by my dad, for their 25th wedding anniversary. 

yes, my dad is a romantic man, and we only found out so recently lol. he spent so much time planning the venue, brain squeezing all possible ideas to surprise my mom his wife, brain squeezing who should he invite to participate the surprise and so on so on. 

so, after all the endless phone calls from my dad to me, he has decided to invite all my mom's family members that included my grandparents and my uncles and aunties and my cousins and also a table of 10 of close friends. 

long story short, surprise was a succeed. I can only say my mom is super innocent hahahahaha and she is so simple that she won't ask so much even there are so many hints popped out lol. 

I am so so so very happy that I went home for this. I get to see everyone, everyone I miss, people that I have not say hello for almost a year or more. I am so happy to see everyone in the room so very happy. I am so happy that everyone get to gather together and share some laugh, share love, share everything. I am also very happy that everyone worked so very hard to worked with my daddy to keep this little secret lol. 

I am so glad that my dad did this for my mom his wife. My dad is not only romantic, he is lovely, he share his love, he share his love not only to my mom and his children, but also the people around him, the friends around him. I am so glad that my dad planned this surprise. I guess what his main purpose for this surprise is to gather everyone together - gathering, that's what older people loves. Everyone gathers together, eat together, laugh together, share a talk, share a laugh and blow water here and there. 

Yes, I guess that is his very main intention too besides surprising his wife (or making fun on his wife lol). 

So - this trip home, my grandparents seem older than before, weaker than before of coz. Health has always been the issue for older people. My grandma is undergoing a surgery this May on her knee sigh. My grandpa talks lesser now, he just sit at a corner and look at us. I only wish they are healthy and able to enjoy their days. 

So - this trip home, my sister has grown up so much. She was my driver, a very very very rough driver over the weekend lol. She has grown up so much and I feel like she is somehow more mature than me lol. She has OCD. She is so grown up that we actually can talk hahahaha. To be honest, when we were both younger, we seldom talk, we don't share any thoughts. Now, we share our face products, we had girls talk, we had family talk and small little talks, I am so happy to see her grown up and able to take care of my mom and able to tolerate my dad lol.

So - this trip home, my brother is the rebellious one lol. Pity my mom and dad. Ok, so it's normal that a teen is rebellious, playing phone, playing games, talking on the phone, always chatting on the phone and don't talk. My brother is not that rebellious actually but I hope he can spend more time with my mom and dad when he is back from hostel. Oh wells he will learn, just like my sis and me...let's hope for the best. 

So - this trip home, my parents are still as funny as before. Thank god my mom is able to get more sleep now, she used to wake up at 5/530am to prepare breakfast and lunch and sometimes dinner for us when we were in secondary school. Yes, so thank god, she can enjoy her breakfast with dad every morning, watch tv after work, read some book at night ( I assume la coz I saw a stack of book beside her bed), listen to her fav songs and share a lot aunties talk with the aunties friends. My mom is letting go the busy busy life and learning to slow down her life. On the other hand, my dad is somehow still the same, as stubborn as ever, as tension as ever...I hope he learn to slow down his life as well too. I guess that day will only come when my sister and brother and i can fully fully support ourselves. Yes that day. 

Such a bloody long post - don't bother to read every word lol. It's just for myself. 

Love is so important within a family.
