alligator*EDIT*
well even if this is supposed to be at the end.
i forgot so.
gomenasai.
Grand Total: 1429
please come again.
and i'll upload a song later.
i suppose.
i also accept cookies.
tears are something i can afford no more.
now.
my bro's being a wuss.
he's just sitting in front of the comp.
staring like an idiot.
but i guess that's all part of growing up.
but i grew up with him like that.
all the time.
alright so let us sum up everything.
like i did last year.
only this year, less emoticons.
day 0great so.
not so good a day.
i have tuition then piano.
then have to rush for movie.
everything was planned very perfectly and nicely, somewhat like this:
0900 - tuition. end early. my brother takes the leftover time plus his time.
0945 - go to piano teacher's house.
1000 - piano lesson.
1100 - leave for home. yes i know it's a circle but we all love circles, don't we?
1110 - arrive at balmoral to meet nick.
1140 or so - reach woodlands on time. eat lunch.
1225 - cloverfield. have a good time.
or so i thought.
tuition was okay.
i left on time.
reached piano teacher's house.
found some man pointing at the grass patch outside or whatever.
then after that i had to wait for her to cry for an hour.
6k water bill.
then after that i was still insisted on playing piano for her for 30min.
uh oh indeed.
upon departure i check my watch.
not good.
rush and rush and rush.
curse in my mind at people who were walking so slowly.
or taking the whole width of the escalator to do something scandalous.
that's proper etiquette of me no?
so a huff and a puff.
and i reached the cinema.
it was 12.25.
not half bad for someone like me. i think.
watched cloverfield.
watched as i got to eat alot of things.
watched as nick and i laughed at hud.
watched as i ate more food.
watched as i realised that melvin and xp and who knows whoever else was gone.
watched as i watched.
watched as the ending came into place.
watched as i went out.
watched as.
no wait.
we were out of the cinema by then.
so i watched xp run to the toilet.
other than that it was pretty enjoyable.
why wouldn't it be when you get to eat all your friend's popcorn.
drink your friend's drink.
eat more. this time your friend's nachos.
and laugh at a cameraman talking about incinerating people in the subway.
anyway.
bought bubble tea.
headed to melvin's house.
lazed around for a few hours.
then before we knew it.
it was 4.
so we went.
parted ways.
i was running late.
again.
or so i thought.
again a recurring theme in cny.
turns out we made it to the restaurant in time.
just nice.
along with one of my uncles.
just one.
so we waited.
and we waited.
and we waited.
and we waited.
and we waited.
one hour it took.
before the rest started coming.
and everyone else in the restaurant was on desert.
but still.
we had a great dinner.
and cloverfield gave me something to talk about.
not to say the least.
after dinner.
which we obviously finished last.
we went for a walk around.
passed a temple.
had to go pray.
after that was done.
i was explaining shazam.
and blah blah blah.
alot of crap talk.
that's what it's useful for.
cannot remember. but fun on the spot.
so to sum it up.
it's complicated.
and i had fun.
and as it descended further into night.
we parted ways.
once again.
day 1lovely day.
stalling day.
i had a brilliant idea for the boring part of the day.
i uploaded anime into my mother's phone.
i never knew hers could play divx.
but i know now.
so went over.
it wasn't that boring.
we had wii ps3 and xbox to play.
so we played and we played.
watched my cousins and uncles play.
had a great laugh.
then we ate lunch.
then we went back to playing.
and then the dreadful time came.
to watch all those nostalgic videos/pics.
well whatever.
they snatched the tv away.
so i shrugged.
backup time.
i spent 2 hours of boredom.
no longer being bored.
which was good i guess.
just maybe crying abit when some relative handed me a hongbao.
i doubt they'd notice anyway.
but yeah i admit that's how wuss i am.
i can't control that.
i hope my brother can control his.
so then we broke to was up.
then we went over to my 2nd uncle's house.
dinner was great.
slacked awhile.
watched another episode.
played some ps3.
then slowly but surely.
we had to leave.
which we did.
talked abit here and there.
with the years everything got a bit more serious.
but it was fun all the same.
yes it was.
day 2and so here concludes the usual.
but i'm still here.
yesterday we got told again and again.
to get up early and whatnot.
okay fine. i am up.
it is 7.30.
where's the rest of you?
so anyway.
watch spice and wolf.
eat.
get ready.
i thought of uploading more.
so i did.
so then we sort of rushed.
because the rest of my family got up.
late.
again the recurring theme.
arrived there half an hour late.
i think.
but we weren't the latest.
so i guess it was sort of alright.
sort of.
so visit visit. great uncle i think.
i remember the old days.
where we were talking about merlin.
playing in the small small room.
it was fun. but now it's still fun.
eat eat.
get offered more food.
i declined.
got offered champagne.
i declined.
got offered champagne.
i declined.
got offered champagne.
i declined.
got offered food.
i accepted willingly.
anything in my mouth but alcohol.
played around with my baby cousin.
he's too too too hyper.
ended up with back pain.
after only 10 minutes.
now i see why women are better at this.
so went to visit again.
led my baby cousin around the house.
back pain again.
sigh.
this time it was pretty blur.
i just played GTA on my cousin's psp.
ate some lunch.
then sat around and kick here punch there.
lightly. of course.
it goes without saying.
so then we leave the house.
go temple.
i remember the swing.
it's no longer there.
but everyone wishes it was anyway.
so go visit my father's side.
only the grandparents.
we sit and talk.
time passes.
and then we leave.
my mother makes some comment on how they're a perfectionist/materialistic family.
i guess she is sort of right.
but i make no further comment.
reach home.
wash up again.
i decide to upload again.
just in case.
then we go kbox.
it was fun.
even the break halfway for arcade was okay.
i guess.
now all the stuff that follows is kind of crap.
so i don't remember.
i just remember alot of laughs.
and alot of fun.
and me trying to sing maroon 5 song and ending up choking.
they still said i could sing. well not the high stuff.
not the high stuff.
then with one last song.
we all said goodbye and goodnight.
and we sped off in our own directions.
...
okay now it's time for the real deal.
i am really happy that i have a family like this.
i mean sure they can be crazy at times.
sure i can see my aunt giving a slap to my cousin.
now that is improper etiquette.
but still.
i have a lot of fun.
we all have a lot of fun.
life is truly enjoyable then.
because you toss all your troubles to one side.
and days like this are rare.
where you can afford to be late.
where you can afford to wait.
where you have to bear with your family.
a chance to spend 2 hours being bored over nostalgic stuff.
is rare indeed.
so i guess i treasure them.
and even though i might forget them.
the chance of you forgetting something and not having any consequence.
is rare too.
and that's what this blog is about anyway.
so i wish.
even though it's the 3rd day.
i wish that whether it is happy or sad.
good or bad.
bright or dim.
love or conflict.
whether it's any situation for you.
it's a rare one.
and i wish you will come to love this day.
and the next.
and the last.
for whatever it might be.
because we are all together.
through everything.
going around this circle.
all over again.
