At this very moment right now, I probably won’t understand the reason behind why my Dad’s so uptight about giving me the money that I need. But maybe 2 years down the road when I start to become more financially responsible, I’ll see the difference.
As compared to my peers, I dare say that I’m considered [...]
When your parents get older
25 May 2008
The folks are in the living area watching Eurovision 2008 on the television. Dad’s just loving the catchy tunes and Mum’s falling asleep as usual. It’s funny how you watch your parents grow old together. While it’s scary to see how your future might be like, it’s also comforting to know they’re going to be [...]

Reunion dinners on Chinese New Year’s eve has become more meaningful of late.
Although I’m the eldest of all my cousins from my maternal side, it’s interesting to find out how the kids are doing especially since we don’t meet very often throughout the year.
Back in my time, sweets and candies would attract my sister and [...]
