Family

Instead of helping me plan my wedding, my sister is already planning to take over my bedroom. GRRRR.

I am only moving out next year so stop dreaming!

My sister is finally home! She didn’t really change, still the same old, silly, spendthrift and fashion conscious little sister! Our whole family misses her so so much! I’m glad you are back sister!

Look at the number of luggages she brought back! And this is not all! Some of her loots and bulky items are with her friends!

My granny spent the whole afternoon whipping up her favourite delights! Chili Crab, Fish head curry etc etc. It felt like a mini reunion dinner! Haha. I miss her company! We spent our night watching movie and sleeping in my room!

A while back, I made a pledge in collaborations with NATIONAL FAMILY CELEBRATIONS 2010 (NFC 2010) under Nuffnang‘s Blogger Family Pledge Movement and now my sister has got something to say! Here’s a pledge from my crazy little sister!

“I pledge to prioritise my family above my friends when it comes to spending quality time. I pledge to chat with my grandma daily and compliment her on her cooking (to encourage her to cook more often)! I pledge to talk to my parents more often, other than the normal TV/dinner time slot. I pledge to organise more family outings and engage the whole family at it. I am sure I can pull off a BF (bitch fit) if any family member refuses to cooperate! HAHA! I pledge to be an understanding and helpful sister to my younger brother who is still in a tricky, growing up stage. Finally, my sister. I pledge to go shopping with her more often and be less critical of each other. Yeap, that’s all. Looks easy but it sure takes much effort! Wish me luck!?”

I totally miss and love her! Come home soon!

NATIONAL FAMILY CELEBRATIONS 2010 (NFC 2010)

Organised by the National Family Council, National Family Celebrations is an annual event which celebrates and reinforces the importance of families and family life. This year, Singaporeans are encouraged to make a personal commitment to their families by being a part of the Singapore Family Pledge Movement.

To provide opportunities for Singaporeans to follow through on the pledges to their families, there are a myriad of activities under the NFC 2010 calendar – which will interest the young, the old, and everyone in between! NFC 2010 will be held from 25 May to 26 June 2010, and this year marks the 25^th Anniversary of the Celebrations. For more information on NFC 2010, visit www.nfc.sg

I think in Asia’s context, parents find it hard to express their love for their children openly and it’s really up to us children, to express our love for them to keep our family ties strong!

The last time I went to the zoo, bird park, science centre or any other local attractions is probably before I learn how to spell “Submarine” (This word is special to me because my brainy sister once brags to me just because she can spell submarine but I can’t. I used “Spelling deficiency” as an excuse.) so taking Nuffnang’s opportunity to bond with my family, I’ve decided to take part in their Blogger Family Pledge Movement!

“I pledge to spend more time talking to granny after work. I pledge to eat the durians my Dad bought without complaining about my increasing waistline (even if just 1 seed). I pledge to help my mum spell words and help her vet through her grammar without turning into a grumpy old lady. I pledge to pray more for my problematic brother and encourage him more. I pledge to bug my sister more often just to talk to her. I pledge to spend more time with his family even if it’s just watching TV and eating fruits.”

I know it’s a long pledge but I will fulfil each of them. Go pledge yours today!

I can’t wait for my sister to come home! It seems like yesterday when we were sending her off at the airport! I miss my ditzy, loud and supportive sister! Come home quick my spendthrift sister!

It’s mother’s day! I brought my mummy to Two Chefs and bought his mum some flowers! Happy Mother’s Day!
