Yum.
Sixuan!
I!
Black & White ( they are cute, don't you agree?)
Random.
Finally got to meet Si xuan after work today and it was great. Finally had the time to fill each other in on our lives and catch up. Its really nice to have a companion who's there to chat with and just rant and pour my woes to. And I think we have similar mentalities and preferences :)
In the past, I would have hated it, being similar to anyone else on planet earth but I am learning to appreciate how God allows us all to be unique yet similar. Nice.
Miss the other two though, on our weekly foursome outings!
Tomorrow is the end of the week, which spells a day closer to Monday :(
A lesson that I've learnt recently; Learn to appreciate your parents.
Been pondering about it recently and I realised that parents have or are forking out so much for their children for their entire lifetime. It's really something that we cannot comprehend. And how much time do we actually set aside to spend quality time with them?
It's quite a revelation for me and recently, I have been trying to catch my parents more often & talk to them. Its like I am usually out for the entire day.
When I was young, I have always heard my parents saying the reason that they work so hard is for us, their children. I really didn't understand this and always brushed it off till recently where I understand that life is not easy & in Singapore, all you are doing is working & clearing debts, raising your children, waiting for them to grow up and settle down & clear the debts of housing & such. It's so tiring and its a cycle and repeats itself all over again.
Imagine if you were to earn an average of 2k a month, in a year you save 24k. 10 years= $240 000. Thats not even enough to buy half a house. And our parents have to support our education, living expenses and all the bills. I don't even want to grow up but moral of the story; be filial to them! You don't know how long more do you have to spend with them, so do your very best and treasure every moment you have with them!
