April

Before I know it, April is coming to an end.

Had a really good start to April because Chestnut came back from India after three long, painful weeks.

Not to forget, a family trip to HK, Macau & Zhuhai.

弟弟 and I.

Ruins of St Paul in Macau. Second time there and never got tired of its architectural magnificence.

Causeway Bay @ Hong Kong

April was also pleasant with @SeriouslyGD (a.k.a Grace) attempting to surprise us from Perth during her Easter break. Keyword: attempted. Hahaha kind of expected her arrival, somehow. But her presence over dinner was something I missed.

Glad to have you back even if it's seeing you for that few hours, or so.

During C's block leave we:

cycled

 had many, many lazy days

and a splendid relaxing weekend to recharge for the week

And a picture of Perry after his shower to end off. Too cute and fuglyyy hehe. 

Dear self,

I've been contented with my life and what I have. But sometimes I can't help but to make that little bit of comparison and sometimes I wonder to myself "I think I deserve a little bit of that." or "I wonder how does it feels like to receive a pleasant surprise in xxx's shoes."

I can't help, really, to not compare. Some blame the social media for setting up expectations, some blame others who spoil the market. I have been blaming both the former and the latter but in the end, I too, have myself to blame - for being so unappreciative and not being contented enough with what I have. Call it greed, call it demanding, but I have always wanted to have a life of abundance in terms of every single thing. 

Looking back, yes. I WAS contented but I guess as time passes, things change, demands change. They also say, every individual is unique and you cannot make comparisons, but I cannot help but to look at everyone around me being pleasantly surprised one by one, and I'm just here waiting, and waiting, and waiting for something miraculous to happen.

I can just continue waiting...
