Randomness X

I was hanging my laundry at 2am... (Goddamn, you must think I'm crazy to be doing it at this hour), but my memory is failing me, I had them in the machine and almost forgot about it till I was brushing my teeth. These things come with age! Anyway, as I was doing that, it suddenly dawned on me that I have so much I wanted to write... so here I am, back on the laptop in my bed, happily penning down the stories.

Mum is bitten by the travel bug. She wasn't that keen on travels after her first bangkok flight and numerous trips to Malaysia. Out of the blue, she started going on about visiting Taiwan. One of the reasons being one of her good friends is heading there... and I actually mentioned to her before it would be Hong Kong or Taiwan I would bring her - and it was Hong Kong. She's even thinking about it as she's buying lottery everytime, she would tell me,"If I win, we shall go on another family trip!" I think to myself,"Mum, I really want you to win too... Fingers crossed for you!"

Lil sis is on a work trip in Bangkok right now and out of a sudden I feel like going there for the second time. Mum, as usual, got all worried and freaked out the night before and insisted me to help her and accompany her to the airport. Like a superb sister, I managed to pack her luggage and sent her off! I am jealous, but not because she's going to BKK, but because the more you like to travel, the more you are unable to. The less you like to travel, somehow work seems to send you away. It so often works that way. God is always playing games with us... My sister is like a cute little timid mouse, and I was thinking today: When I was at her age, I was already in London on my working holiday visa and having the time of my life! Not long after I turned 24, I came back... Jesus, that is really how long it is ago! And in some months, my sister will be 24, I want her to see the world too. She's a little too tense, too stiff and uptight and I know once she gets out there, she will let it go... :)

I also read that my good friend Cyn and her kids are coping well in NY for the treatment... Hope things will turn out fine.

My wish to take my parents abroad has been fulfilled... and it is time to find my goal and work towards it. I need all the luck I can get - send me some!!!
