Taking things for granted

I've realised that coming to a home with people is a luxury that I've taken so much for granted. The sounds of chatter by my family members... their arguements(?), the sounds of my younger sister's foot steps when she's running up and down the house, or even the sounds of the TV when she's watching cartoon network or dinsey channel, just the presence of people in the house nontheless, whether you're engaging them in idle banter or otherwise is so warm that I didn't notice it until recently. Thank god I've got someone to talk to that day(~blehz~) if not I would've gone bonkers.

Today, almost the same situation as last week, came back home just to find out that the house was empty and that everyone was having dinner in Lei Garden at CHIJMES(our taiwanese friends came). Thankfully mom bought home dinner... at 9.20 pm! And yes, the temptation just to be home has brought me back today and, right now on this very (tuesday)evening(it's 10pm!) I'm typing this web log entry with the Z monster creeping up on my back. Why I've taken the effort just to make this post? Moral of the story: Cherish your family. AMEN.

I totally agree bro, taking for granted the precense of certain people, and the feeling of emptiness when they're gone
