Last weekend my boyfriend finally got his license back. It has been a whole year since he last drove, and I was really excited for him. It was weird though, sitting in his car. I was so use to public transit. Anyway, last Saturday we had reservations at Five Sails and I was so excited for that, you can’t even imagine. I don’t remember the last time we had a fancy dinner date like that, and it made me really happy to just spend some time together. The food was delicious too, of course.
On Sunday was Chinese New Year’s eve, so I stayed home to clean as well as help my mom prepare for the night. She put so much time and effort into the dinner and it really paid off. Everything was amazing. There was so much food! I ate until I couldn’t eat anymore. I was so full that all I wanted to do was go to sleep right after, but instead, we headed down to Aberdeen to walk around. There wasn’t much to see, just a whole lot of people, as well as a lot of different shades of red. A little later on, my parents and sister left and I met up with the boyfriend, and friends. We wandered around and stayed for the count down and then left as quickly as possible to avoid all the traffic. The next day I woke up fairly early to go for dim sum with the family, and to visit to the temple. I think this is the first year that I have ever celebrated Chinese New Year so completely. So this is what it feels like to spend the holidays with a family, huh?
After that, my break was over and all I have been doing was working. I have been working a lot more than what I am use to, but it is actually not as bad as I thought it would be. At first, just the thought of being full-time freaked me out, but I like my job, and enjoy what I do, and that definitely makes it a lot easier. Of course seeing that pay cheque really makes it worth it - especially since I have so much to save up for.
And that is about it. See you when I see you.
Thank you! I was having a really bad day and your message really made a difference. My posts are actually really personal, so in a way, it is kind of reassuring that there are people out there that can relate. As cheesey as it sounds, the only words that will fit what I want to say is “at least I’m not the only one”. Haha.
I usually answer privately, but I want this forever on my blog.
People were ever rarely home, and if they were, they didn’t want much to do with me. I spent the majority of my time by myself. Sometimes, it didn’t matter so much. Other times though, when I really needed someone there, I was brutally reminded that no one had the time for me, or that there were other more important things out there to attend to. To some degree, I always felt abandoned growing up. It is sad to draw up on such memories, but that is not to say that this was a bad experience. Because of this, I have taught myself many things; one being how to ride a bicycle and another being how to never rely on others for help. To this day, I still believe in that. At some point in my life, however, I fell for the prospect of sharing the weight I carry upon my shoulders with someone else. But more often than necessary, I was met with the same disappointment I felt when I was younger. I was too naive.
In this world, you might think you have someone to rely on, but you really don’t. People might trick you, deceive you, act like they truly care for you, but at the end, they themselves come first. You have yourself, and that is it.

That moment when Above & Beyond opened with this track EDC 2010. <3
Why would you tell someone half of the truth and not the whole truth? Its like really? Does it make you any better of a person? No.
What is the point of throwing half of something into the spotlight? Feed that half to the dogs, but not the rest? Because it’s better if only half gets destroyed in the process? Regardless of how you see it, you are still sacrificing one for another. By telling only half of the truth, you might as well tell a lie. You have chosen to set the ball in motion, but refuse to see it all the way through to the end. You leave room for guesswork that leads to mishaps - eventually making the situation worse than it already might be.
Either you say all of something, or say nothing at all. Make that judgment call. Fucking hell.
