mUsic i Love

managed to get my hands on the music score for 林峰's 明天以后 !
just spent the last hour on the piano (even though i really should be packing for tomorrow's trip. ha!)
I LOVE THAT SONG!!!

lOcked...

from now onwards...
and for good reason too!

FURIOUS

you have no freaking right to do what you did...
calling my parents and talking about OUR relationship.
there is no excuse for what you did.
you just went and made things a whole lot worst for yourself.

Claire: 因为你没有来(我的house)啊! 所以我不可以wish你......

Claire: (on the Haw slices i was chewing on after dinner) 二姨你吃什么?有辣吗?小孩子可以吃吗?
me: 没有辣...甜甜的......
Claire: 甜甜的啊?我也可以吃啊?你可以给我吃吗?小孩子也可以吃吗?

生病了......

the title says it all.
=(

update:
Claire is like the SWEETEST kid ever!
pt. 1
i've basically lost my voice.
so i had to 比手画脚my way to tell the kids i'm sick and can't hug them when they came over this evening.
Claire said "二姨你不可以讲话啊？为什么？你生病啊？哦你不要讲话啊！" and she proceeds to come over and sayangs me on my arm.
pt.2
i was popping 'em nasty pills in the kitchen earlier this evening and with every pill i took, i made this awful, sick face >_<
the little girl, sat across the table from where i was, makes her way round to me and gently plants a couple of kisses on my arm, in an attempt to sweeten things a little for me.
awwwwwwww... *heart melts

update update:
(tue morning)
pt.3
i woke up to the kids having brekkie of eggs, sausages and blueberries in our kitchen.
Claire saw me and promptly declared that the last few sausages were for me and that di-di (Louis) can't have any more of 'em.
pt.4
the girl knows i can't kiss her like i normally do, so instead, she has been planting little kisses on my arms in place of all those times i would normally kiss her e.g. after i helped her wash her face this morning, instead of me wrapping my arms around her and giving her a huge-ass kiss on her cheeks, she grabbed my hand to kiss it first instead. and as i waved them off to school from the front door, instead of kisses on her cheeks, the girl blew me heaps of air-kisses from the gate.
*heart melts somemore...

Homily today was absolutely beautiful!! And touching!!! I was fighting back tears while Fr spoke to us...
This week being the 'celebration' of the Feast of Corpus Christi (Feast of the Body of Christ), Fr Chua ran us through the meaning of receiving Communion at Mass every week... of the many reasons as to why we receive Communion, this is probably the one i love most: how each time we receive the Body of Christ we become closer to Him... "As our Bodies are strengthened by bread and wine, so are our Souls by these tokens of the Body and Blood of Our Lord Jesus Christ. The act of receiving Communion is to 'feed' our Souls." Can't remember where i read this from, but yes, this is what i remember clearly. Because He loves us so much, He was willing to die for us, and in doing so, we are given the chance to receive His Body and Blood... how powerful and awesome His love for us huh?
For most part of Homily this morning, Fr Chua asked us to think about what it truly means to say those three little words to someone... could be anyone really... to God, to our parents, our brothers and sisters, the kids, our partners...
To be able to freely and wholeheartedly declare ilu to another person, is to say, "Hey! Yes, ilu THAT much and i'm ready and willing to make sacrifices for you."
Fr shared with us what he called 'his little love story'... of how the first time his then 6yo niece turned to him to say ilu, and he, coming from what he called a typical Chinese family who shows love but never says ilu(s), was so stunned he didn't know what to say. He finally muttered those words back to her when he realised the kid was waiting expectedly for him to respond to her declaration of love. Heehee! It took him little time to realise though, that there was nothing wrong saying ilu to those nearest and dearest to you. Ah, children... their innocence is sOOooo sweet!!
~~~~~~~~~~~~
"Say what you mean, and mean what you say".
Indeed!
~~~~~~~~~~~~
Everything Fr talked about today struck a chord with me...
How often do i say ilu to those who matter to me huh?
True, it's so easy to sign-off a letter "with love"... or to send a text to a gf saying "luv u babe"... but is that enough?
I dun do it enough... im sure of it.
Although we're not your typical typical Chinese family - at least amongst the sisters we're not, but my parents are still the generally "show love but seldom say ilu" kind. Thank God the sisters and i are more open and willing to express our love for one another. And to the kids! Claire and Louis are always running up to say "二姨我爱你". Heehee! And of cos they expect me to say it back too "Claire-claire / Louis, 二姨也爱你".
But with friends... and to him...! Am i saying it enough?
Fr was so right when he said there was absolutely nothing to be shy about, in declaring our ilu(s).
At every opportunity that i get... I should be letting those that matter to me... those people i genuinely love... the ones im willing to make exceptions for, and make sacrifices for...... i really should be letting them know i love them at every chance that i get.
...

叶子在窗外轻轻摇动
人行道没有行人走过
镜子里的我很不像我
自从你离开了我变得很软弱
你的影子在每一个角落
好像是在提醒着我
少了你的陪伴我现在有多寂寞

我想我可以习惯一个人生活
我想我可以假装不曾爱过
冰凉的夜里让眼泪温热我

感觉如果要走谁能说 no
我想我可以习惯一个人生活
在记忆里面擦去你的承诺
爱情怎么会是这个结果

叶子在窗外轻轻摇动
人行道没有行人走过
镜子里的我很不像我
自从你离开了我变得很软弱
你的影子在每一个角落
好像是在提醒着我
少了你的陪伴我现在有多寂寞

我想我可以习惯一个人生活
我想我可以假装不曾爱过
感觉如果要走谁能说 no

我想我可以习惯一个人生活
我想我可以假装不曾爱过
爱情是个梦而我睡过头

一个人生活
