i am immensely proud of myself. i know html is probably like everyone's else'second language but it has been greek to me all my life. all i did was copy a blogskin from somewhere and tried to figure out the stuff by myself. i used to be pretty scared of wrecking my blog. but you know what? who cares anyway?
i wish fall break would just hurry up and come by. i haven't done much but i do long for a break. time will tell though, whether the trip will be a success.
i wish i talked more. i mean, most people think i babble too much. but i'm beginning to think that these days, i'm running out of things to say.

amazing really, how well things turn out when you least expect it.
i've marked an important milestone in my life. no, i ge engaged, make my first million or whatever. i took the plane all by myself for a long-haul flight. big deal, huh?
yup. very much to me. i'm glad now that i went back.
more than just attending my sister's weding, i think that was really magical and wallet-slimming too. it made me really how a forward and assertive person like my sister would willingly take a back seat and entrust it to my brother-in-law all in the name of love.
it made me realised hwat it is like to be appreciated by family and friends when i returned home for that short visit. i actually feel that i spent more time with my family over the past few days than i did over the whole summer.
it's hard to define. i mean, quality-wise, i was always tired and sleepy and they were always busy, but being involved in the same hustle and bustle actually made me feel closer to them. it was also rewarding to learn about all the traditions and cust0oms that have been almost lost. i believe we overlooked a fair number, but it was still quite an eye-opener.
and i overcame some of the phobias and fears about flying, doing things alone etc. i feel newly empowered, kinda like a rebirth, more confident of my abilities.
that's not to say that i enjoy flying, i still can think of many other things i'd rather do.
i also got to meet many people whom i would have otherwise missed out on seeing. Mama Chiang, Dai-soh, my mom's church friends from our previous parish, many who all came to celebrate this occasion.
all in all, it was cool. well, my family doesn't read my blog. but all the same, a very happy, merry and loving marriage to my sis and james and an enjoyable vacation to all of them.
