right here, right now

well, i had a pretty great day today! i think today was like one of the best chinese new year days ever, first we went to uncle pike(how to spell?)'s house au usual and watched glee there, and just talked a bit here and there. then we came home and rested a while and four lost sheep decided to crash my place. haha, but it ended up pretty fun also la, we just sat and talked outside. but the awesomest was when my sisters came back from swimming, they totally crashed a clubhouse and just swam there while my dad stood watch. haha! anyways, after they showered and stuff we started the father-daughters gambling!! i think this is like the third year already we gambled with each other, =P. spent like three hours outside playing sap sam fa. daddy's always very lucky, won so much! hahah then i won a bit too and my sisters lost quite alot. oh well, it's all good fun! then we played football after that, it was like eight already. it was fun, didn't know my dad so chun in football wan, we were having so much fun kicking the ball and laughing. then we watched princess and the frog instead of going out for dinner so my mum cooked us some fried rice, french toast and fried chicken, my favourite kind of simple dinner. we sat in the living room watching our cartoon while eating, and after that watched 2012. well i slept through 2012 la. but still, it's family time like this that chinese new year is all about and i really enjoyed today.

oh i wanted to type that i thought princess and the frog was so cute, and very sweet too. i know people always say cartoons are corny and lines like all you need is love and stuff are just so geli dey. but sometimes when you don't look at what people have reduced it too and see it for the meaning it intended, you'll see that love is all you need, and i thought bout our family day today and i was so awww-ed la. and it was so sweet how they stayed frogs and stuff and lotte is so adorable! i like how tia said the only way to acheive your dreams is to work hard, and how the witch doctor person oh yea, mama odie said like dig deeper, what you want isn't what you need and stuff. disney movies still have lots of lessons in them lor! i loved how ray ended up next to evangeline, that was so so sweet! hahaha, i'm such a kid at heart la, i still like this cartoon while my sister was going, so kiddy wan!! hahaha.. =)

but what i really wanna type about is family. today i realized how great and important they are to me, each of them. and i really do love them all. you know, it's like so often we bicker about the missing nail clipper or not helping out around the house or about what movie to watch or sometimes, someone is just more cranky than the other. but still at the end of the day, we're family and i can choose to see the good in us rather than the bad. i offered to wash the dishes while they started the show, but they waited anyways. as i was washing up i heard them just talking amongst themselves and laughing, and strangely i didn't feel left out. it was like how in gamma i used to sit and listen to the 'melody' of the class and smile to myself. and today that sorta happened and i just felt so happy and blessed. i had a lot i wanted to say but hahah i forgot. still if you're reading this, remember that family is important, and it's never too late to make things better. =)

thank you God, for everything. =) i love You too! =D



lots of love,
Candice.
