all those small things in life.
these few days have been packed to the brim. i'm physically drained.
not one night did i have more than 5hrs of sleep. even when i had the rare chance to do so, my brain refused to take a break and i just ended up tossing and turning till my whole body ached.
but if i had the chance to turn back time, i wouldn't do so even if im offered a million bucks.
cos through all that 'chaos', somehow i've learned to appreciate those small things in life that i'd always conveniently overlooked.
esp today. i've never been the centre of such a huge party. my sweet parents held a farewell party for me, inviting all my relatives on both of my parents' sides. which also include some of my long-distance ones whom i havent seen in donkey years. almost everyone came up to me and gave me some sort of advice, or merely just to wish me luck and success. even those whom i rarely talked to when i saw them previously.
and my cousins on my mum's side are the best. many of them wanted to give me a treat individually. they came up to me one by one asking when will i be free. i would love to go with every one of them if given a choice but the truth is, i don't have much time available cos i've still a million and one things to settle before i fly in 10 days' time.
so one of my cousins came up with a brilliant idea. all of us will meet next saturday and the cousins will pull together their resources and bring me out for the entire day to play, eat and shop - all for free. i love them, really. but at the same time they make me feel so guilty. cos i havent really paid much attention to them in the past and yet they're all so willing to spend quality time with me before i leave.
my uncles and aunties are a wonderful bunch too. every family gave me at least an angbao each and most of them with encouraging words on the red packets. and they were generous with their hard-earned money. of cos i dont mean like a thousand bucks each but we gotta understand that many of them are barely making ends meet and yet they showed no signs of penny-pinching. in fact all of them surprised me with their generosity. a simple 'thank you' is not enough to show my appreciation but thats the best i can offer for now.
just hope i'll not let anybody down with my results. now im truly feeling the pressure.
sigh i've got so much more to tell. so many happenings to blog about and emotions to let out. but for now, i'll leave it at that cos im literally feeling the fatigue from the whirlwind of events. so pardon me while i take a break and ease my exhaustion.
stay tuned cos i'll be back to blabber more.
