I just realized today that every single thing that we're going through everyday is a part of growing up. I remember getting mad at my parents over silly, small matters and fighting with my brothers like how most of the kids do now. But guess what? I think we've seriously all grown up and slowly learnt how to share and show our love. I love them to bits now! Not that I didn't before, just that I never really showed it to them. I think it's also the way we were brought up though. Like how all the angmohs would hug and kiss their parents goodbye and stuff. Chinese just don't do all those touchy-touchy stuff? But yeah, you get what I'm trying to say - I love my family and appreciate what they've done for me. :)
Also, me being miles away from home actually DID bring us all closer. I remember the first time I called home from Melbourne. I was telling her about how everything was new to me and how hard it was to adapt to everything. I know it did break my mom's heart.. 'cause I could hear how her tone changed over the phone. Speaking of which, she's coming over again this September! But I wasn't the main reason though. She wants to explore around Victoria with my aunt. My aunt, who is a workaholic, has like 12 weeks of annual leave! So yeah... Sister bonding time? :) Can't wait till she comes! Yay! :)
Anyway, watching Grey's Anatomy also taught me to appreciate and be happy with what we're given. So, I promise I will complain less about stupid stuff. But I think that's what girls do - complain. HAHA. :( But no, I will try to change. :) Qydah was also telling me how it breaks her heart to see all the unfortunate, special kids at work. (She's taking Psychology and she has to deal with special kids for her job). I think it'd break mine too :( :( So yes! Appreciate more and complain less.
One of my favourite quotes :-
"珍惜一切,就算没有拥有。" - 稻香- 周杰伦 :) :) :)

Hi Carmen, I know exactly how you feel. I am a working adult now, and I have not even say 'i love you' to my parents. This is just how we were brought up in our country, although sometimes I really want to give them a bear hug. :) As we grow older, every little thing that our parents do, we will appreciate more. I'm married and staying with my wife, and I know I am still my papa and mama's little boy, they will always call and ask about you, this and that, bla bla bla. :)
