It's been a weekend of mahjong, good food & random thoughts.


I spent quality time with certain special people & found time to catch up with old friends I haven't had the chance to talk to in awhile:) There's something about meeting up with old friends that makes you feel happy. It's easier to stay close to someone if you see that someone everyday, & if that person is very involved in your everyday current phase of life; but keeping in touch with somebody you don't see often means taking the extra effort to talk to somebody to stay close. It's so easy to feel distant from another person; even after marriage, it takes effort to maintain that relationship. Alot of people take for granted that after marriage everything's easier, but somehow I think that's not true. It's hard enough finding that special someone whom you think you can and want to spend the rest of your life with, but after marriage you can't take for granted that things will just always work out the way you want them to. God gives us challenges in life but it's through these challenges that we learn more about ourselves and we build bonds with others:) Anyway sorry if I seem to be blithering on alot about a whole lot of nothing but I think it's just a result of many philosophical discussions with certain people.




Yes I'm definitely going to miss home when I leave, but sometimes I think it's good to get a break from life back home as well. Alot of people say I seem happy with my life in sydney and I seem to be coping well..but sometimes I wonder if it's just a front I put up for the sake of others, or maybe a front to convince myself. I do know I miss the sydney weather though:)




Chris: (carrying Lucas) Ay help me look after him for awhile.
Me: Sure. Er why's he naked?
Chris: Heh heh.
Me: What if he pees?
Chris: No la he just did. He's tanked out already.
Me: You really never know.
Chris places Lucas on the diaper-changing table.
My elder sister comes out from her room.
My sis: Chris! Why's he naked?
Chris: Think he likes it this way.
My sis: Haha no I think he feels insecu- AHHHH. (Yes Lucas peeed right at my sister)
Chris: Haha oh man!
My sister: Chris! And oh no buster! don't drink-


Haha well I shan't go into details but it was pretty chaotic. Anyway this wasn't the first time this happened. Haha and yes buster did lap up quite abit of the mess on the floor and he ended up leaving little wet paw prints all over but we cleaned it all up before my mom found out so all was fine:) And the whole time Lucas was just lying there obliviously, unaware of all the chaos & trouble he had created through one innocent action. Ignorance really is bliss at times.
