it's a beautiful day and i can't stop myself from smiling

heheh stayed home all day today! haven't done so in a long while and it felt good :) hahaha only because it's my grandma's birthday today so my bro and i decided to stay home and keep her company. shiokz life today!! woke up at 11, strummed for a while then went to play piano with sean after my fingers got pain from pressing strings. hehehe i didn't know his music preferences were so similar to mine hahaha. yeah then after lunch we made durian puffs!!!! i am so surprised they turned out well. was confused about the consistency and stuff and how the dough was supposed to look like. but yeah they turned out nice and i love the pastry so yay to a successful sibling baking session!! and after dinner idk why but my whole family started playing phone games together in the living room. played dots for a whole hour ahhaha. so yup that basically sums up my day. 

anyway i like today and cherish today because it was spent with the people i love most. as much as i love my friends my family still takes a large portion of my heart. ok rather they have a different compartment of my heart hehe. glad i got to spend time with sean baking and talking. got to talk to nainai too and i could tell she was very very very happy that we made time for her. she looked very touched to see us baking for her hehe i'm glad we made her day. and even at the end of the day, sitting down together and playing phone games. it's like social but antisocial idk haahahaha even though we all did our own things on our phones i like how we sat down together in the living room and not go up to our own rooms. much needed family time that was lost after we moved here. 

sometimes i miss our old house because there we spent more time as a family. our house was smaller then and sean and i shared a room, so most of our stuff were downstairs. we ended up spending most of our time downstairs, and all i did in my room was sleep or do work. other than that i'd spend my time at home on my orange sofa (i really miss my orange sofa :( ) and sean would be on the denim sofa and nainai on her chair and everyone else on random chairs. though all we did was watch tv and use the com the presence mattered. after we moved everyone just automatically goes back to their own rooms and does their own stuff. i can go days without seeing some people because i come home too late to catch them during dinner time. which is why i should come home for dinner more often because at least during dinner everyone is around. sometimes i wish my parents would spend more time downstairs though, and watch tv downstairs rather than in their own room. oh well!! starts with me i guess. i don't think one hour is too much to spend downstairs keeping nainai company. even if i were to whatsapp the hour away at least i am there. sometimes it's just the gesture of going down that makes a difference. 

but all in all, today was a good day because i built more on the relationships that matter most to me :)
