Yesterday I realised how quiet the house can be. My sister went for some school camp; the house was left with my parents and I. Somehow I started thinking and imagining how the days would be like if I were to study overseas next time. :/ Quiet quiet house. Since my sister is like getting older, she would probably be staying out more often and later into the day. This house would probably be left alone - quiet and empty.

It was just so quiet, as if it's lacking soul.

Not like it makes a whole world of difference now that I'm studying out late every other day (I guess most of us do?) and returning only to see my parents fast asleep, but I can almost imagine how much worse it would be if I were to be gone for 3 or 4 years, coming back once in a while or once in a few months.

I can feel how saddening this whole scenario is and how (lonely) my parents may feel. I will probably be quite sad when that happens to me in the future; my son and daughter going overseas to study and going out to work. Perhaps it means that they have grown up; they no longer need their parents to support them. They can take care of themselves. That's heartening I guess.


翅膀硬了，会飞了。
但可能我们都学会去珍惜眼前的一切。
对别人，对自己要求不要太多，不要太大。知足常乐吧。
不然将来后悔莫及，就已经太迟了。
