ANOTHER SINFUL NIGHT~ 14th Dec 07


Sweet tooth at 1 in the midnight! And between TCC and NYDC, we went ahead to the NYDC for its mudpie. Look how sinful it is! hahas...on one hand, i'm trying to tell myself "koon, go on diet!" On the other, im being pampered with the Jedi Mudster! The diet plan will never be successful in this way. LOL.


Anyway, the topic of the conversation for that night brought me to think bout yea..Familial Ties. I didnt say much when The Great shared his philosophies, etc with me. But thoughts crawled in my mind in these couple of days. I was just thinking, this is another ugly side of the gracious society, gracious in the most superficial form maybe. But layers and layers of its ugliness is peeling off slowly. And im a piece of this ugly society as well.


When family is concerned, I love them very much but this family is just immediate family members. I haven really taken into account or really cherish those in the extended family line. My uncle told me before..sometimes its just the parents who didnt set a strong foundation for this extended family ties. Well, thats a factor partially but i wun say it constitutes all to the fragile familial ties. Yes, its fragile for one that hasnt been really v strong. For me and even the whole family as a whole.

Can I say that familial ties requires some form of a reciprocation as well? Especially so for grandchildren, for nieces, nephews. We tend to love your *hmphs relatives more if we can feel the affection and attention from them and not when you get the feeling that they are smirking at you every now and then. Looking down on you and doesnt treat u like their nieces. Well, u can say that its all what we think only. But surely after more than 10 years of observance..it cant go v wrong. In this kind of situation..how to love them? nahs.

Searching my conscience, yes..I dun feel that close either to my Grandma. My only grandparent who's still alive. On celebratory occassions, the 3 of us are always the earliest to leave. Oh yea..just to show face. And on certain occasions, we have our excuses to not to turn up. Its true that how many more years to go? Mum said that too. But we would just rather idle somewher else than to join in the errrr 'joy'. hahas.



And i believe this scenario will get more and more typical in this whole society.



hahas. Whatever it is, lets hope that we can just find that lil warmth in this extended family.



Ending this post w a photo that i love! ;p
