my parents

Sunday, December 11th, 2005

It’s weird to blog about your parents, ain’t it? It’s even weirder to say that I miss my parents because I haven’t been seeing them on MSN for the past 2 days. It never occurs to me that my parents will one day, have their own MSN account, talking to me using a webcam, calling me on Skype, and above all - using the "chat room language" while chatting on MSN, having fun with all the funky emoticons…..

My brother was complaining how hard it was to get them this far, but I know he’s brimming with pride.. It must’ve been a hilarious momment for the 3 of them. Argh, missed it! Well, what do you expect from people who’re in their 40s and 50s? Pa & ma, you guys rock!

I can still remember the day my parents got themselves a mobile phone, and trying to make sense out of it. My dad will be complaining how small the phones are, that he can only press one single button with the use of a pen (apparently his fingers are too big for the keypad); my mom will be panicking whenever the phone rings, having a hard time to decide which button to press - the green or the red?? And yes, my brother and I spent 2 weeks getting them to send out their first SMS.. and it took them 30mins to send a SMS which goes like "Where are you? Are you coming home for dinner?" By the time the text was sent, dad was at the door asking for dinner…. hahaha..

There’re just too many anecdotes to put down here…. I miss my pa & ma…

Ah…my parents…

To my bro: don’t worry, I’ll write a whole new post about u ;) Miss you too!

Silent Night…..

Wednesday, December 7th, 2005

Hmm…There’s really nothing to write about, it’s just plain boredom that got me started writing… It’s so hard to put boredom down in words. It’s not like I have nothing better to do, the pile of homework and lectures to catch up is an eye sore, occupying the only corner left in my room. (the others are taken up by boxes/luggages/random stuff)

Finally had a quiet night yesterday, with the music playing from my laptop..sheets of organic notes scattering on the floor, me snuggling in Julian’s massive mink blanket…It’s been a long time since I tried working alone..not very interesting I would say. But yeah, it’s a soothing moment to get away from the huh-hah of the past few days/weeks..

I promise to write something bright and cheerful next time! At the mean time, do bear with my random rants…. :)

Here comes the holidays…

Monday, December 5th, 2005

Hello people! Here am I spamming your email inbox again..(Tat Loo, how to turn off the notification?!)

Yup, the 6-week holiday I anticipated is finally here! It’s been kinda hectic for the past few days, helping friends with their packings and shiftings, turning my room into a storage, sending them off to the bus station, etc. I’d made so many trips to Gloucester Green (the bus station) that I bet the ticket sellers must thought that I’m working for some travelling agency whatsoever.

I hate being alone..and the fact that I’ll be left alone after Tim leaves for London later really saddens me. Yeah, seniors and some friends in church will be around, but things are so different without the usual crowd in my room..  Workload for the holidays is depressing as well… Argh… but don’t worry, I’m sure it’s the best time for me to finally learn the meaning of stayin in a single room. For those of you who don’t know, there’ll be usually more than 2 people in my room during term. To be honest, I don’t know what were they doing in my room. Everyone will just be doing random stuff, be it studying (trying to), hogging on msn, sleeping (on my bed n the floor), eating, etc…

I guess this is a time for me to finally sit back and try to enjoy the peacefulness…but heck…I prefer the noise!

I shall learn. the. meaning. of. quietness.

And yes, I miss home. I miss Malaysia. I miss the food. I miss the people.
