Day 7 - WEEK-SARY

It has been a week... so my dad sent me an email congratulating me, having made through my first week in Chengdu... (so sweet~) actually, my parents have been sending me some emails for the past few days and sometimes, i would chat with my younger sister through msn... sometimes, my parents would come and take a look at me while we are chatting.. my sister told me, "If I tell you mummy is crying, will you believe me?" well, of course i believed.. because i know that my parent aren't people of words, or simply show or tell me that they miss me, but i know they do. It is weird for me, because initially, i thought things would be difficult but "amazingly(because i don't know if this is good or bad)", i don't have any homesickness or cry every now and then... at first, i was worried that i can't take good care of myself since my parents are not anywhere near me. Then i was worried about my parents' health, since both my parents have always been in a poor condition.. i know what i was thinking... skip this whole thing and just stay by their side, at least when they need me, i'll be there.. i tried getting my younger brother and sister to do this before i left, but i failed(kind of). i told my sister to help my parent wash dishes, clean the house, don't talk back, etc... (which i were supposed to do) but she (kind of) demanded why she have to do all these while i get to go overseas when she wasn't allowed to go when her school had a literature and a geography trip overseas last time.. you know what, i was really speechless. i thought to myself, "so she's thinking that i will always be there to do all these?" really, i gave up. for my younger brother... i just hoped that he will treat my parents better and not making things difficult for my parents.. now, even though i'm not sure if my sister helped out with the chores and about my brother, i held this little hope that things will be better when i get back in april. My family prayed for me and well, they told me things are well. (oh well :o) i wondered if they feel a lot of difference because i was always(almost) there... i still remember that on that day when my parents and I took a cab to Changi airport, i think my parents were about to cry but we held back our tears. i didn't had a chance to say goodbye to my siblings D: i hope i'll have a chance to say, "I'M BACK!" to them when i get back... they told me to take a cab back home(seriously...) and even though i pleaded, they say they will reconsider..(*oh come on~~*) because they siblings still have to go to school the next day.. i think they will come... cos i wrote a letter and told them to come to the airport and fetch me... I placed it on my study table (will they even go there? ah... nvm) well, hopefully..

(anyway, coming back...) since it has been a week(we called it week-sary), the four of us(dorm-mates) went to eat fried fish for dinner. It's quite nice, except it's too oily...(it like putting deep-fried fish in oil) and they said it's non-spicy... but still... it's hot and spicy and salty!!

And by the way, we did taijiquan for our is-module today... the man in the video was too fast! (heheheheh, i did taijiquan when i was young, but it was kind of a forced thing by my parents...)
