One Better Day

All my heart

After JC, I told myself to not let a busy school life keep me away and distant from the people I care about. During those 2 years, council and school kept me busy, and I like being busy. But it also kept me away.

Lately it seems I’ve let that happen again. Using the excuse of thesis and assignments to lessen the guilt.

Today I finally called and talked to Abang and Nenek. And it feels amazing. (:

Hearing Nenek talk about her very first plane ride, telling me about the clouds and the sky and the view. Hearing her talk about her short holiday. It breaks my heart somehow. I’ve been flying 4 times a year, plane rides just don’t seem that special anymore. But hearing her so excited and so happy, it makes me feel really happy but at the same time it breaks my heart. Because I know she deserves a much better life, she deserves so much more for everything she’s done.

And I miss Abang and all his random nonsense. (:

Seven weeks.
Just seven weeks till the end of time-consuming uni work.

Just like magic

I had a good end to 2011, and a good start to 2012. (:

It was tiring, exhausting. But I think it was worth it, all the exhaustion and perspiration. I think they were so much more exhausted. I like seeing so many smiles, so much happiness.

I like being around the little ones. Seeing them smile, seeing them tilt their heads trying to get attention, seeing them just curiously look around. When they smile, when they laugh, when they give you a kiss on your cheek, it’s just like magic. In that moment, the tiredness just disappears.

I wasn’t so sure before, I had doubts. I can’t predict the future, but now I think everything will be okay in the end. Because she has parents who love her, who give her their undivided attention, who look out for her even when they’re busy.

Just like magic. (:
