I had thoroughly enjoyed my holidays a lot. The last days has to be the time when I tell myself I’m not ready to go back.
But i am.
Most of my classmates had already begun their new college term, while I’m still half loafing around. Seems to me that I’ve been spending a lot of my time with my family this term break, particularly my father. My father’s pretty cool, for a 51-year-old dude, so as my mom. My dad runs a 21K run, my mom, 15 k. Both of them swim better than me, run better than me, and play better than me. Athletic dudes. Which I am not. My sis and I resort to being to more studious kind. The truth is, I enjoy being with my family a lot. Sometimes, I have more fun being with them than anyone else. My dad and I seems to always find a common ground in a lot of things. Politics, history, art, even economics. But of course, his favourite hobby is to jalan jalan, cari makan. Both Adeline and me loves Star Wars, soft toys, animations, computer games, music. We can talk as much crap that only both of us understand but also talk no-nonsense stuff.
My mom was flabbergasted at the amount of $$ we spend on our Star Wars collection. My reason, which i clarify and teased my dad a bit was:
” Well, my hobby has become my work. So, I need a new one.”
Was just scribbling on my diary a few minutes ago. Sometimes I am reluctant to even be part of a social gathering which is so predictable of what would happen. But you have to constantly thank people for organizing it so that there will still a bond going on. And of course, there are some people, who would always leave a mark of impact on your life. People come and go, but doesn’t mean relationships has to be the same.
I can’t help but recall on what one of my friends chatting on msn said to me:
“Rachel’s name got power wan.. Everything I use your name the others are sure to agree”
“OIIII!!!! You’re using my name in vain!!”
Sheesh. I didn’t know my name commands authority passively. Then I started thinking of what Pinky said about me, which was not very nice to hear. But quite true in a way. But I am the way I am. Don’t think I can change that easily.
I couldn’t help but lit a smile in my face. I feel blessed. Like what Michael said, “Attitude comes from the word Gratititude”. Constantly thank and be grateful.
