My sister's blog

Was reading my sister's blog today.

Realised she's been sharing alot of her views and thoughts in her blog, which to me, takes a lot of effort and courage to do so. Because I do not really like the idea of having everyone see what I've been doing, especially intimate stuff like family dinners, etc etc. Well then, blog is supposed to be shared by friends right? Or I can limit the views of my blogs. Let me think about it again.

I'm happy that all of us took time to spend our dinner with our dad yesterday for his birthday. It was actually the most enjoyable and heaviest birthday dinner we had because we ordered twice for dinner, and a cake afterward (we usually have cake at home after dinner).

As I read my sister's blog about CNY preparations, guilt overcome me. Somehow, I felt I've been so lazy and out of touch on our family's preparations for the New Year. I just thought, well, just pay for someone to do it. I just didn't want to do it. It's just too much effort. But reading my sis blog and it seems that she's looking forward to everything, saddled me with guilt.

I don't like to do housework at home. But when at my own place which I've now rented out, I was like the maid of the house, ensuring everything is clean and tidy. Of course, I do have my lazy times, but surely not as lazy as when I'm back home with my parents. Maybe because I've been too dependent on my mom, thinking everything will be settled by her somehow.

So this year, after reading my sister's blog, I tell myself, I must spend more time observing around house, and see what's needed. Money is not the only thing I can contribute. It's time I re-tune myself, and put in more effort in understanding my family members.

For a start, I shall offer to help clean the windows. And bring my sis go run errands for the family when my car arrives.
