Library Weekend

Some snaps from two weeks ago,  I attended a seminar in the morning and was dead tired the entire day so we had a chill time just walking around and hanging out :3

Good hair day!

Family

Today my father held my hands in his to pray. We haven't done that since I was a little girl, but somehow the situation called for it. He started crying mid sentence and that broke my heart to pieces; he hadn't cried since his grandmother died - a time so long ago that I wasn't even born. I was reminded then, that there are things in life that we cannot change, but that we can change the way we react to them.

My father has always been a rather kindly man, but he used to have a short temper. In the past couple of years, he took to a lot of prayer and meditation, and though still impatient, he is now very much a changed man. I have to remember that no matter how tough it gets, it will always be tougher for him to see us through it, and that no matter what I do, I have to try and make it easier.

When does enough mean enough

The people who love us can also hurt us in unsurmountable ways, and sometimes you wonder if the hurt you feel is equal to the love they give. Life in the 21st century has made it easy to cancel people out of your lives, but then there are some that give you no choice. With some, you are stuck with them forever. And then, how do you reconcile yourself with this - how do you tell yourself to continue loving, and understanding, and enduring their heat, through the abuse they pile on? How do you tell yourself that they have more love than hurt to offer? How do you convince yourself that they still deserve your love and respect?

Catching Up

More photo updates on my... mostly mundane past 3 weeks:

Korean BBQ one day during lunch time with Nai & Sam, we were so full we all nearly died. For myself, I fell asleep on the way back to office because of my serious food coma. 

Such a qt :3

He spent a lot of time cooking the meat for us, so I think he's responsible for 70% of my food coma :P

Nomnomnomnom

Some days I like my face.

Qt came to pass me something and I got to cuddle him briefly. 

Impromptu lunch with Kant at our favourite brunch place (also, they always have cheap prosecco deals). 

Sometimes I get lonely and need company, lololol.

Oh my baby :*

 

Lunch time with the tubs!

:3

Transcience

What terrifies me the most is that we can use our whole hearts and still end up hollow. How terrible it is; to love tenderly and wholly, and still come up short. It's terrifying, knowing you have everything - and that everything can be lost. How do we live through such losses? How do we not mourn with every bit of our hearts?

This is all a mystery to me. My heart aches.

Random Weekend Snaps

Here are some random weekend snaps that don't fit into any category in particular:

One weekend, the family went to JB for a day to celebrate dad's birthday. Here's me wolfing down the last of my bak kwa sandwich because unlike the rest of them, I knew I would starve if I didn't have breakfast (which was a great decision because we only got there around 3pm and started eating at 3.30pm - I was already hungry AGAIN despite my bread, god knows how the rest survived). 

Chinese food which I don't fancy too much, but we got daddy's favourite roast duck which he enjoyed. 

Massage time at a cool new spa that was really cheap for the high standard! 

Then we went to get our hair and nails done! I didn't get a mani/pedi unlike the other two ladies because I was unhappy with my dye job and had to stay back to grouse until they redid it for me :O

Another sumptuous dinner to end the night! 

Happy daddy :3 

It was our first time taking public transport into Malaysia as a family, and to be honest, it was extremely exhausting. I don't know if it's worthwhile doing it often, haha.

Good hair day 

The boy accompanied me to a university fair :*

Then we went to have awesome BBQ stingray and chicken rice in my estate!

Had a slight public transport mishap which caused me a lot of angst but it was all well in the end because we went to...

Visit the puppies!!!

 They loved him :3

<3

Another weekend we went to support Joni on her flag day collection! 

It was a disgustingly hot day, look at all the beads of perspiration... 

Such a cute pair. 

This time we went to visit the kittens! They're barely a few weeks old and are still so tiny. 

Finally collected my TB loot which came in a SACK WTF HAHAHAH.
