An outing with my grandmum just now at Din Tai Fung for a birthday celebration dinner, accompanied by my auntie, uncle and brothers as well. I guess it's really a generation gap that forces us to try to break the barrier of communication, especially in languages and stuff.

It was a really simple dinner, just looking at her and thinking back those past memories when I was much younger and she was there looking after me... pampering me... and loving me. I kinda regretted not spending much time with her...

One person that inspired me to really care more of the elderly and to try to break the barrier between them and myself was Sunshine. I really did admire her way of spending quality time with her grandmum and the older generation. I did wondered how was she able to do so and why would she so willing go for that direction in life. It puzzled me during my secondary school days, and now realising that life is short and time spent together is very important. Every second counts, even though it was just a simple dinner. Thank you Sunshine...

Well, back to quality time, somehow man have to go out there to curve out their career and be successful in life so as to allow their family to be better off. However, when one goes for his career, he would neglect another part of his life. I know of a man that forsake his family for several years to concentrate on his career path. He did his best and his company did became stable and successful to a very much extent. However, his relationship with his sons only improved gradually. How much has he understand his sons? How much has he tried to do so? He claimed to be understanding and also lenient... however, did he know that his sons are trying to do so too?

Jedi, once said that you tend to go home more often, especially when it is your home. He emphasized your home as in your own personal brought-over home. This is because there is so much of your personal stuff and ideas and feelings for it. This is in comparison to your parents' home. My dad used to tell me, "you think this house is like a hotel ar... you book in and book out as and when you like." Well, I was really tempted to say that there isn't much feeling or want to stay at home except for bathing and sleeping and charging my electronics. I tend to stay out more as I know that I wouldn't be slacking or wasting my time in front of the television the whole day.

Friday... the end of exams, the start of another life for attachment ... and it has been one hell of a week already, the main battle has yet to begin until tomorrow. It's going to get tough, yet I'm just going to fade away... it's getting boring now... I need the fire, the desire to move on strongly.

Ganbatte friends!
