What I've been up to. Includes me getting HIGH RANKING managers to do silly things for dad! 

Hey all! I tried to update my blog from the office, but there must have been some "session time out" thingy at work, and it erased whatever I typed! =(


I didn't retype it cos it was time to go home then. =P


Anyway, sorry for the lack of updates. I seem less interested to update these days cos there's no audience reading (especially after TURTLETOTTY expired) anyway. Or at least I feel so? =\


What have I been up to? Let's see. I've been to Shanghai (sorry I haven't loaded any pictures yet!).. I've been working.. I've been going out for field visits (which I must say take up so much time ESPECIALLY with the amount of traffic).. I've also planned for my dad's surprise birthday party..


The party was supposed to be planned and organised by both me & sis, but I feel somewhat disappointed cos I ended up doing most of the work.. =(   It's not that I feel cheated or frustrated that I'm doing more; It's because I'm disappointed that she isn't excited to be involved in the organisation of this event, like she doesn't really care / feel she's not really part of the family? (Not that she's adopted and all that nonsense.. just feels like she's saying something with the amount of effort she's putting into this party).


She did help, of course. But anyhow, as long as my dad felt happy and his 2 daughters were involved in this, I guess all's OK lah. I suppose...


Gotta run. Happy that I updated something meaningful / less general -- after so long of the lack of updates! =)

"Strangers" meeting each other 

Read my mum's birthday card from an aunt living in Australia. Was funny to read that she proposed her son, D, (which is my guy cousin) to meet up with MY (my bf), as D would be studying at NSW. Don't get me wrong. It's a nice thought @ gesture, but it does feel weird because as a family we already hardly see each other (email few times a yr though); then if my cousin's to plan a meetup with MY... It'd feel weird. For all of us, I think. Haha.. Even though it IS a nice thought AND certainly nothing wrong with it.


I'd want to relate this to something else like my thoughts on certain life philosophies, but I am too distracted at the moment. Haha.. I need to pee! And my hair's making me face & nose itchy!!


Haha.. So random, right? Oh btw, I owe u my story about the irritating foreign human I unfortunately met on the bus. Might continue right after this!   >P

Relationships... Not that HER friends would even consider the logic behind this post 

Sigh.


Not that my family members get along SUPER well, but we're OK. We spend some time together. We spend enough time together to laugh, argue, go on trips, etc.


But now, I'm feeling sad. Sad that I can't reverse things. I miss spending time with my (younger) sister, she said so too (some months ago). BUT i don't think that's the case.


In our immediate family, I only have my sis to talk to. I mean, u don't go and tell ur parents everthing, right? My parents aren't exactly the "friend-friend" kinda parent - the generation gap is pretty apparent.


I recently left her a msg (instead of talking to her directly). She read it (I double checked it after a week). But she showed no changes. She hasn't cared to spend more time with family (especially me), or come home earlier, or not to lock herself in the room that even my parents sometimes dunno she has already reached home. I told her bout how she didn't even care asking about parents' recent trip to Bali too. Oh yea, u can expect that she still kept quiet for days - she didn't care how was it for them OR what they brought back OR anything else!


Not that I am forcing her to come back before 9pm everyday, spend time with us every single day, etc. She CAN go do her own stuff; She can reach home at her usual time; She can spend time with her bf; She can chat on the phone with her friends; She can do whatever she wants - I duwana 'CONTROL' her. But I really do miss the times spent with her, chatting, laughing, window shopping, or just sitting down & doing nothing with her - as long as we did it together.


Family time as compared to bf / friends time feels so different, ya know? She doesn't even show a slight interest in us, in me! All she does is to.... come home late, lock herself in (our) room, and chat on the phone. When she comes hom earlier OR stays home longer (AKA go out later during weekends), she's usually too tired & lazy to do anything else.


Sigh. She doesn't miss her sister even a single bit. And our relationship strain was caused by her unreasonable actions before (when she was quite rebelious last time) -- Not that her friends would believe this. Since she's the OH-SO-INNOCENT girl ... And now, she has her own seperate life. Her family (and sister) are just insignificant people in her life that she doesn't seem important enough to FIND TIME to be with.


I accept the fact that her "head's just getting too big" now, but I am not content with this fact. =(   *sighhhh*...
