Bought 2 new pillows and 2 new bedsheets.
Takashimaya was having sales, so we bought.

But those are not the main topic for this entry.

Today, I witnessed something magical at home.

As usual, Sis will always hang around Papa and Mama's room every night.
She'll watch tv programmes with them, and tell them about stuffs, be it what was on the news or what happened that day.
She likes to share information with my parents.

Tonight I entered the room, stood next to Sis while my parents were lying on their bed getting ready to turn in for the night.
I pointed at Sis, and said, "Meimei very noisy hor. She always talks so much before you 2 fall asleep."
Mama replied, "No lah, she likes to share whatever she finds interesting with us. We don't see you 2 until we reach home from work. We barely meet for a few hours each day. Your sis just wants to spend more time with us."
I stood there and looked at Papa.
He looked at me with eyes that showed the exact amount of love that Mama was exuding.

So they really know the intentions behind all our little actions.

I just took my medicine.
As I drank, even though the medicine was bitter, deep down it felt sweet.
Mama went to grab the herbs for me, and brew the concortion for me so that I could drink it.
All these efforts, just for my health.

Tonight I feel very much loved.
By every single member at home.
As I sit here and blog, I'm recalling all the little actions everyone at home did for each other.

Whenever Mama feels that she doesn't spend enough time with us, she'll stay up for 30 minutes or so just to come into our room and chat with us.
She'd ask about our friends.
She'd ask Sis about her studies.
She'd ask me about my driving.
And she'd share with us whatever happened at work that day.

Family.
The meaning of the word has been described as "Father And Mother I Love You".
Mmhmm.

These few months at home since graduation has opened up my vision.
I realised so many stuffs.
Especially how Papa and Mama shower us with their love.

I asked Mama some time back.
"Mama, what if I were a boy? I'll be going army. How will you feel?"

She looked at me with those gentle eyes and said, "I'll be worried for you even though you'll be turning into a man, because in my eyes you're forever my little kid."

Sis chimed in and said, "Ya lor, Princess."

I'll forever be the little Princess in Papa and Mama's eyes no matter how old I am.

Mama added just before she left my room.
"I'll only stop worrying about you after you get married when you grow up."

Being a Princess isn't that bad, is it. (:
Even though I'm not a real princess..

Spend more time with your folks.
The smile that's growing on my face right now will be yours too.
