The only one that knows me, love it when you hold me

A road trip to Genting that lasted over seven hours. Short day at an amusement park that got cut even shorter because of an abrupt thunderstorm. First time queuing for a ride for over two hours, first time riding on Go-Karts. Overcoming my fear of scary rides alone. Shivering in the cold all alone just to get some wifi. CottonCandy ice-cream at Baskin Robbins which I fell in love with. My first time at a casino. Visits to temples. Traffic jams because of a major car accident involving twelve cars, and realizing the vulnerability of life and how suddenly it might be taken from you. The company of a very sad iPod and my journal. That sums up how I spent my days from Friday till Sunday night.

Today was great. Went to gramps’ for the usual Chinese New Year visiting, but only better because I got to see Luke and Oliver, two of the most beautiful little boys ever. Spent a long time babysitting some of them, but it was great. I’ll always love kids, even if I threaten to do nasty things when they start getting colicky <3 Can’t wait to grow up and have babies of my own instead of queuing in line to get a chance to carry them. I love the way their little chubby hands wrap themselves around your little finger, even if it’s covered with chocolate sticky or yucky. Or how to run and hide behind your legs when they see something they’re scared of. Or how they always smell like powder even when they’re perspiring from running around a few minutes ago. Or how they like to ask a million questions, and repeat them again because they forgot the answer. Or their secret little language you’re expected to understand as a parent. I think it has something to do with the feeling you get knowing that this little human, half of which is part of me, would always love me as much as I love him/her. Come what may, I really want to be there for my child like how my mama has been there for me all my life. The first they run to, the first they sought out when they encounter difficulties in their lives, the first people they love. Silly, but I’ll put these thoughts aside and wait for the years to pass first! :)

      
Goodnight everyone, I hope you had a pretty good Chinese New Year yourself.

I love being the reason behind your smiles, like how you're the reason for mine

When this life tries to keep us apart, you keep calling me back to your heart
I'm so glad you found me, wrap you all around me
I'd never find a love like this
And as strange as it may seem, I'll go if you take me
I'm willing to sacrifice
