hi, not that it would be inappropriate to post it at a more 'solemn' cyberspace but just thought it'll be nice to pop by blogger once again.

anyway the recess week is here, how time just flew past like that.

From feeling rather empty and upset over the finland trip, till bouncing around life till now..

Nice things have happened, sad things have happened as well but i guess that's just life?

I think staying in hall made me realise a few things. but most importantly, it made me realise how important my family is and how much i really treasure them. Each and every one of them. Previously, i have never consciously made time for my family. But this time, i know it's different.

And then it made me think about my parents. If i feel that i'm growing up quickly, it could only mean they are growing old real fast. And even though they can really get on my nerves sometimes, i can't help but be so thankful for all the love they have showered me with. It's not a given that every parent should and will love their children so much.

But i'm beginning to see the obvious in many many ways. For all that they've provided me with, for all the heartaches they have to put up with. Maybe this is why sometimes while diverging from the path of solely pursuing academic excellence, i wonder if that's a right choice.

Because i want my parents to be proud of me. In some ways, i kind of know that seeing your children attain success within their own definition makes them really happy and proud.
