想念

doesn't take much to trigger this feeling for me nowadays..  (though it's not a deeeep and painful feeling..more like a *siiigh* kinda feeling)

haven't been skyping much with parents this year.. maybe it's because i have a flatmate that i talk to now.. and the fact that i've been out and about more than i was last year..

but yesterday i was just thinking about my nieces..remembering that one of them is going to turn 3 soon..and since asignments are all done i thought i'd write them a letter.. After writing and trying my best to decorate the letter i went on facebook to look at their pictures..then rewatched some videos.. and then i came across the video of my cousin bro's wedding 2 years ago.. and somehow memories that i didn't think i'd remember just came back.. and somehow i seem to form views that i didn't have when i watched it the first time..

i guess it just made me miss the times when the whole family was around.. we've all been so busy growing up.. busy making new memories.. busy taking on life's challenges.. just plain busy.. when i was much younger i'd always think that any family gathering would have ALL of us coz it just seemed that way from what i could remember.. i'm quite thankful that my family is small and close-knit and we all stay so nearby..

but right now, i guess all i really wanna do now is do my best and make them proud so that when i do go home it'll be a happy occasion and we can have a big family gathering again :)
