When I first entered college, all I wanted was to live a campus life away from home. Now that I have the chance to live outside, I realise the picture isn't really pretty at all. Everything from top to toe, in and out, are in charged by non other than me. It makes me realise that living at home is not as bad as I thought. At least when you feel like doing nothing, you can really do nothing. Laundries, groceries, sweeping, cleaning, cooking, ironing, managing the finance, and managing us.... everything, were previously done by Mom. Sigh... I'm so ashamed of myself because I not only did not appreciate her effort, I often add on work for her to do, such as leaving my dirty panties on the floor and she'll have to pick up dirty laundries from my room every morning to wash them. I now understand the frustration of dealing with all these chores I referred as 'piece of cake' previously. All the small simple thing around are actually not easy to do. Honestly, I miss home, as well as my family. I had not been able to go back home for several weeks due to the assignments on hand. I even missed celebrating the recent festival (the ba zhang festival) with my family. I've missed so many family occasions. I can now understand how my big sister, Yee Yen feels living far in the UK. I guess it's even harder for her. This experience of living away home has thought me more than I expected. Not only being able to learn to lead an independent life, I also learnt how to love and appreciate the people around me who have loved me and helped me throughout my life.

Haha! Now u noe how i meant.. Soon it's gonna be me having homesick le.. Only few more months until i'm shifting to kampar. I hope i can manage.
Well, knowing is always better than not knowing. Start appreciating now. I'm sure mummy and pa would be very happy to know u've started to appreciate things they do for us.
Now that u are there, dun think so much about these la.. U may need to do more work than u'd want to, but that is not a problem. Dun stress urself ok? Now that u are living away from home, appreciate that instead. Appreciate the chance of letting u realise mummy and pa's effort, appreciate the good of living away from home, appreciate the things u learnt and are learning from living away from home. Be there totally.
Haha... I'm sure you can manage since both of your sisters have done it quite well. Start doing more at home and treating people at home nicer now cuz there won't be much chance for you to do it until a very very long time in the future. Living away from home is not really easy. The things that I told you guys that night in the car, like those social issues going on, did really affect people like me. Perhaps you might not understand the gravity of the situation, but you'd learn and experience these in the future.
Hey! I do treat people nice at home! Dun tell me u cant see tat?! Hahaha..
Maybe i will. But for now, i remain to see those things as mere illusion of the world.
U shouldn't be so closed minded la. That time when we were telling u all that stuff, u were like U DUN UNDERSTAND ME! U LISTEN TO ME! Of cos we understand that. Almost the whole nation is worrying about that issue now. But dun u realise that these things pass, people move on. People need to live their life no matter what life throw at them, or choose not to live at all. In the end, u can choose to accept life gracefully or worry about it uselessly.
