its been a long time since i've eaten dinner with my family. today was the first in abt a month already since i last ate together with the whole family. and i realised how much they've changed.

my mum's the only one who hasn't changed.

my elder sis hasn't changed in her character or what, just... grown up. i can't get used to the fact that she's working. i mean, she got into NUS but its different. she's supposed to be suffering WITH me. like as in, school. i never imagined her to be so much older. 2 years isn't supposed to be a lot, but it sure seems like it now. can't swallow the fact tt she's working already. and i'm still stuck in school.

my dad showed his other side today. i mean, i saw his other side. my dad under normal circumstances [2 months ago] would be strict and restrictive, no-nonsense and stuff like tt, but today i saw him like laughing and joking with my elder sis abt some monk which he deals with during business being gay and being attracted to my dad and crapping and talking rubbish and stuff... and i realise that my father actually cares for us a lot, like a normal father, but i guess tt he cares about our future and tt once he feels tt we should be on our own and tt we know what we're doing, then yea we really are on our own and he can relax when he's around us.

my lil sis has changed for the better. she's super quiet now. i don't know why but i' m not asking. its good for my ears.

and i realise i changed a bit too. i don't know when, but i know how. i've become less um materialistic i think. like, when my sis was buying a laptop today, i was remembering how much i wanted a laptop just a few months back [december or sth] and i realise that now i don't really want it anymore cause... i don't need it. really. the amount of time i spend on the com now is like less than the amount of time i spend on my homework la. most of the time i just leave my com on and siam. i think spending time with friends personally is different and more important than spending time with friends online. yea so i don't need a laptop. if i don't need one, i don't have to get one. now tt i think of it, i don't know why i wanted a laptop so badly. i just wanted it. and tt's what was wrong with me. i didn't think.

some things never change though. today on the way back home my parents quarelled in the car again. over some dumb topic. money. and its weird. my dad was telling my mum tt she was too frugal and tt she should stop taking hand-me-downs home from my ah-ma house. and tt she should just spend more money and start throwing away stuff. his point was tt if you aren't using sth, just throw it away. if you need it sometime later, just buy again. and they just had to quarell over stuff like that right.
