watch me shine

mum and dad just left for home a few minutes ago, and i am feeling overwhelmed by loneliness and have already missed them so much.

i am terribly busy lately, i have not been talking to them. i arrived late for family dinner, and right after dinner i opened up my laptop to update myself with work and read my journals. i locked myself up to complete my assignments. for the past 24 hours, i think i barely talked to mum and dad. they were there, but i have been acting as if they were not there.

now that they went home, it kicked me in. i missed them.

ma, pa.. i miss you.

thanks for the tasty durian all the way from farm.

thanks for the sumptuous dinners.

thanks for the smiles and companion.

thanks for the advice, i know the news on papers freaked you out. i will take care, i promise.

thanks for giving me a wonderful family i am living in.

i am overwhelmed by happiness and contentment that i am in tears =')

i know you understand me being busy and all.

you understand.

and with that, i will let both of you sit back and watch me shine.

i am almost there.

and when the day comes that my name will be announced, i will go up the stage with my robe, smile the smile that i have been practising all night, take that bloody scroll and turn to look at both of you in tears, feeling forever grateful that the 3 years of hardships were worth the while.
