Great news, great news.
(Trying to divert my attention and make myself feel better)
Dad's going church with us later. It's been sometime since the whole family went for church together. This time, Aunt Louisa and Aunt Jessie will be coming along too. Really, some time since we last went church as a family. We've been going for preachings at different timings, different days. Even Dad and I, seldom bump into each other at home anymore.
Sometimes it's because of one's selfishness. I was selfish to coop myself in the room to study, play Wii in the smaller hall, go out for meals. Dad was selfish to coop himself in his room to settle his company's business. Mom was selfish to move herself to Aunt Louisa's house every now and then because they have so much to talk under the moon. It's time we all be selfless, and start caring about this family. This family is already so small, the smallest family size. Parents, and a child.
I once thought I have a perfect family. Till I see Wilfwed's family, then I know what's the meaning of a truly perfect family. It's not what you say to each other. It's the action that speaks everything. Their family spells L-O-V-E. Mine spells B-U-S-Y. Both, with 4 alphabets, but totally different feeling and expressions. Sometimes, I find myself moving further away from Dad. We're less communicative these days. After A levels, is there enough time to pull back this family bonding?
Selfish, Selfless. Just a line apart.
