Aged with Grace

Yesterday, I had a long phone conversation with my parents after what felt like a never ending day. And as corny as this sounds, it was actually the highlight of my week.

I know how small it is. I mean, I call them all the time. But really, yesterday, after a long, tiring and frustrating day in uni, talking to them managed to lift my spirits back up. 

I thank God every day that I have parents as supportive as they are. They're ever willing to help me in any way possible, even if it means going through some crap along the way. Honestly, they're a Godsend, even though I don’t express that to them enough.

You know what's the best feeling? Being able to make them laugh. Because even though they're 6500 km away, I could still feel their laughter radiate through me when I tell them a joke or tell them about my little projects here and there, and it’s actually a great feeling. Knowing that they’re happy and proud of me, even though there are days I think I’m not feeling so great myself.

Both my parents have taught me so many things; my dad – his determination, patience and perseverance, my mum – her compassion, unconditional love and ability to put us first before her needs.

They are truly two of the most amazing people in my life and I honestly don’t think I could ever repay them back for all that they’ve done for me, not that I think they expect anything much from me anyway, besides the occasional ‘thank you’. I love the fact that now that they’re older and all of us are out there somewhere living our lives, they are able to live theirs in a way they never could when we were much younger. Though I know they love having us around (especially the grandchildren!), it’s nice to see them age gracefully and happily, and for that I’ll always be thankful to Him. I can only pray that they will be in the best health, blessed with generous sustenance, and most importantly happy, herein and hereafter.

We may not be the perfect family, or richest or most good looking even, but I think we have it pretty good. We’re happy and I think that’s a great place to be at J

P/S: Don’t forget, it’s Mother’s Day tomorrow! 

Butterflies

Butterflies in the stomach.Why am I having this? :-/

Puasa Skype

I have decided to give skype a rest until Wednesday (Sebenarnya nak seminggu but well yeah, don't ask). This is all part of my sleep early, get a pretty face in the morning plan. Hahaha. Hopefully it'll work -.-

Creative juices

I'm itching to start drawing again. It has seriously been a long time since I'd spent a lot of my free time doodling and drawing things and I miss it. Even the piano hasn't been played for quite some time. I think I should give it all a go again.

This is a new year promise (:

Happy Thoughts

I'm feeling happy now (: Not only am I writing again (I know, pathetic right?) but marrmm (mama sebenarnya. Ngehee) gave me the greenlight to meet with my friends on Monday. Yeay! I miss my college friends actually. Well, to be perfectly honest, it's not the I-miss-you-so-much-I-can't-think-of-anything-or-anyone-else kind of thing. It's more to the ; yeah, we haven't catched up for a month so let's get a drink together kind of 'miss' . So yes, I'm quite excited to go and meet them up.

Then, there's the fact that one of my best friend's and I might just be working together for a while. It'll make a day all the more enjoyable especially if we consider to take up the job we were just offered. Hehe.

And there's something else which I'm not sure of what but it came from a phonecall this evening. I seriously don't know what we talked about but it's keeping me happy. Hehs. Weird.

So truth be told, right now I'm happy to be happy.
