"It's really scary when you get attached to someone. You spend time with them, you get to know them. You find yourself knowing their favourite colour, food, movie, song. You discover their flaws and their talents. And as time goes on, you learn more and more, absorbing every second of detail without even realizing it. Then one day, you wake up and realize how much this person actually means to you, and you love them for every strength and weakness. They make you feel warm and secure, but most of all, they bring you happiness. And to bring happiness to someone in such a way is a strong and powerful thing. It could break a person completely. Some say those who fall in love are young and dumb. I say they show an incredible amount of bravery. It takes courage to trust somebody with your entire heart."
Saw this quite some time ago on my Facebook news feed and came across it again today. It made me want to blog a quick entry, because the boyf and I had a recent bumpy ride in our relationship. It's nothing serious so don't worry :) We just discovered a little flaw about each other and the journey to accept flaws are never easy. You suddenly realize that the other person can be irritating, getting on your nerves, and make you shed one too many tears. But through it all, I see how much I actually love him and vice versa. We had a post-quarrel heart-to-heart talk and manage to resolve the issue. I feel that we understand each other more and this fact amazes me. Because after 33 months together, we are still exploring and learning and growing :)

Happy Chinese New Year! Hope you've had a great one ushering the year of the snake. It isn't exactly my favourite zodiac but this year's CNY went surprisingly well. First, we had reunion dinner at home. Just the 3 of us with simple steamboat abalone feast. Dad just bought a new induction heater so it was really convenient. I think we're gonna have reunion dinners at home going forward (as oppose to going to Grandma's place) and I'm liking it (: Fuss-free, hassle-free and stress-free.
On day 1, we went to Bright Hill Temple to pay respects to mummy and dropped by grandma's place for lunch. I like that we're going there in the afternoon (unlike previous years where we reach super early in the morning) because it means we get to see most of our closer cousins. I also got to play with my niece (Chloe) and nephew (Caleb) this year. This is the first time I got to hold their hands and carry them (': Ever since mummy's passing, this side of the family distant themselves away from us. No wedding invitations (until last year), no baby showers, no weekly family gatherings, no phone calls to ask how we were coping. Nothing. Zero. Zilch.
I didn't even know I'd become gu gu until recently. Not that it really matters but sometimes you just want to feel like you belong. No?
In the evening I went over to boyf's place for dinner with his paternal relatives. They're really sincere and nice people and I can understand why the boyf enjoys hanging out with them (:
On day 2, we went to visit dad's side of the family and I'm so glad bro came along this year. The company means a lot when you're always the one sitting in the corner of the living room and munching on tidbits. Haha. But I really like dad's side more because they are less pretentious, less money-minded, less judging. They go all out to make you feel comfortable and that's what family should be like.
The boyf came over to my place in the evening and stayed for dinner. Yippee super happy about it! He even had a short jamming session with my bro. So glad the relationship is working well (:
It's back to work/ school tomorrow!

Baby Caleb and I! He's a little dragon too.
