It's only 10.30 in the morning but I feel like it's been a long day.
People have always asked me what it feels like to be an only child.
Lonely? Yes, at times.
Most of the time I'm preoccupied with fangirling, YouTubing, FaceBooking, Twittering and so on.
Came back from my aunt's place earlier this morning.
Was supposed to come back last night.
As usual, I felt heavy to leave the house.
I never fail to sleepover there every possible holiday.
Last night after the last minute change of plans (of going home), my girl asked me what I like most about staying over.
I thought for a while and said, "the company".
She kept mum after hearing my reply and we were lost in our own thoughts in the comfortable silence.
I love my parents a lot. Really. I won't say "they are the BEST parents in the world" cause that's just too cliché and is plain bullshit. I mean c'mon, how many parents do YOU have? How would you know if your's is the best? Ok whatever.
I know I hurt my mum's feelings yesterday when I sms-ed her to say that I'm not coming back.
Called her numerous times and she refused to pick up her phone.
I don't regret my decision though.
Had a 'Friday Night Karaoke Party' to celebrate my 'extended stay'.

This morning when I left, my kids were still in their bed.
Mummy (that's what I call my aunt) sent me to the bus-stop with the little one.
I felt bitter.
My grandfather greeted me once I set foot in the house.
My parents were out market-ing.
Although I've been staying over umpteen times, despair enshrouded me and I cried myself to sleep.
The incessant drizzle outside complemented my mood.
I woke up an hour later and my parents were still nowhere to be seen.
Called my mum and there was still no answer.
That's exactly what I mean when I answered my girl's question last night.
I feel fortunate to be loved by people around me.
There are things lacking here and there, but it's the people who matter the most.
Watched 'Fever Pitch' two days ago and one line is stuck in my head.
Ryan: You love the Red Sox, but have they ever loved you back?
Wise words from a kid - probably no more than 12yo. It's so true. No matter how much you love an item, a game, a plant, or anything at all, only human (well, and animals) can reciprocate your love.
Haiz...
I should go wipe off my tears now.
It's not good to greet your loved ones with puffy swollen eyes.
