Happy B'day Sis

Well hasn't it been a while since I updated this blog.
Just like previous semesters, things really get hectic from Week 3 onwards. Now Week 4 has ended, and the feeling of being overwhelmed has set in as expected.

Sometimes I wonder why we need to do all these lab reports and assignments because I don't really see the point in how torturing myself will actually help me in my career in Food Science in the future. The amount of research that I have to bust my ass to do now, most of it just doesn't seem really relevant in the long run.

And it's my sister's birthday today... well at least it's already the 27th over in Australia where she is now. I think this is her first birthday away at home. When she left for Brisbane last month it really didn't seem that much of a change. All of us took it quite well, even my sis didn't appear to be home sick or teary. That's just the way my family is, we don't weep over something that is supposed to be positive haha.

But I think the reality has finally set in now. The home just feels so quiet during regular weeks where my other sisters are also away from home. On days that are rough, I come home from class feeling defeated only to feel more alone. Not that I don't talk to my parents, but you know it's just different from having a sibling to confide to.

I miss the times where we would go for supper.. such as McD or Kayu whenever we felt like it. Probably the only person who would go satisfy my random cravings with me at all the oddest times. Miss the times we watched horror movies together since no one else in the family likes this genre, miss the times where we watched dvds in the TV room with potato chips and alcohol. And the times we went for tennis together, which hardly happens now becoz it's just not fun playing with Mr. Ong on my own. Since mum and dad usually have different activities going on, so most days it's just me. Just feels so dull now, you were always the exciting one that was brave and creative enough to try new activities and stuff. Come to think of it, if it were not for you I probably wouldn't have discovered my passion for tennis.

Just wanted you to know how much of an influence you were and still are to me.
Though I have never said this out loud, but yeah I definitely miss you!!

Hope all is well in Brisbane and have a great 25th birthday!!! :)
