argh. been trying to upload my Hanoi photos since this afternoon and there always seems to be error :S making me so irritated!! so i jus decide to post something here online.

jus finish making a video! yay! but it jam up on me several times. dun lyk. then learn to constantly save my project. even tiny bit of edits or adds or changes.

sis slightly better. i hope the med will quickly work on her. she had some probs sleepin last nite. had to sit up straight to slp. then, i woke up with this big painful lump-feeling in my throat! it hurts alot! till now. but thank God this afternoon was better but not now! i hope we will all recover quickly! esp since youth camp is nxt tue!

it was so temptin to go out with Khalis today. but had to make myself stay put at home cos got things to do. grr. but was talking to him last nite. tellin him all my tales! so glad to tok it out. thanks for listening! i noe i talked alot last nite. and then, we were talking abt when is the nxt time we can meet up. quite unlikely soon unless it was today. makes me quite sad. hence, it was temptin for me. but well, the outcome is this: i stayed home the whole day.

okay. reflecting, one thing that came to my mind at the end of the vietnam trip is this phrase: to take care of and be taken care of.

throughout this trip, my dad has always been the one guiding us when our tour guide isn't arnd. telling us where to head, which street to walk in order to buy the items we want, then lead us back to the hotel. also helping us cross the ever-busy streets where the vehicles never stops for us. it makes me wonder if he's stress. i mean, he needs to watch over and take care of the 6 of us plus the others that are following his directions.

with him leading, i really felt at peace. i needn't worry about alot of things except for the clothes in my bag. i do felt very much taken care of. and i wonder how long this feeling can last. i mean, sooner or later, i'll be independent. organising my own overseas trips/hols with my frens. and better still, goin on hols with my own family and that means planning it. it will then dawn on me that i will have to take care of ppl and stop bein taken care of. i think i'll miss the feeling but the challenge to plan and be responsible is wad i'm lookin fwd to embrace!
