and then there was one...

Today is a sad day for me. My mum has gone back to Taiwan a couple of days ago and my dear sis has just left for her loooong Europe trip this afternoon. Honestly, I'm not used to being so independent again after being back from the exchange :( Hmmm, I will bury myself with work so I won't have to think about it. But it does makes my heart ache thinking about not being able to come home to a full house after school and not being able to crawl into their beds at night and talk until either we fall asleep or they kick me out. I guess I'm only really independent when I am forced to be so like last year.

It's really funny tho, because mum was thinking about making extra copies of our house keys, because she was worried that I will lose them at some stage. I had to persuade her that I will not accidently lock myself out of the house (it has never happened to me before, me thinks!). I guess this is a good opportunity to learn to be more organised...remembering to pay the bills and rent on time, and do ALL the houseworks. Grr...I hate cooking for one. My strategy is to cook the food based on their used-by dates. Right now, I have enough food to last me 2 weeks in the fridge...and of course, those mama-made dumplings in my freezer will feed me in times of desperation :p But someone found out about those dumplings and has threatened to come and steal them...NO, I do not have enough to go around!!

So I promised my dear jie-jie (sis) that I will not pull a "Bridget-Jones" and sing "All by myself" tonight. Hahha, so I'm just rambling on...I'm listening to "I love a lonely day" by Amy Grant at the moment.. it's cheering me up :)

Solitude can be so dear.
Loneliness is not so blue,
When it puts my mind on You.
...I love a lonely day...because it makes me think of You!!!

ENJOY YOUR EUROPEAN EXPERIENCE DEAR SIS.
