Everybody’s Fine

What an insane week it has been. Having been sick for two weeks in a row, I took a week-long break from school to rest at home. And sadly, the irritable-tummy syndrome struck again. So I’m up at 2.30 am, feeling bothered by my pained tummy and typing away to finish my never ending homework.

Did I mention that my external hard disk died on me, and my main lappy has been sent for repairs?

Besides all that, I have had a fantastic week.

It was Gwyneth’s birthday yesterday. She turns 2!

I’m awfully impressed by how much she has grown. She is running more than she is walking. She talks in almost full sentences now. And she understands everything that we adults are conversing about! She even laughs at tv shows at the funny moments.

On thursday, my sister and I brought her to watch her 3rd movie in the cinema. (Goodness, my first ever movie was Lion King and I was 10 years old! And Gwyneth has watched 3 movies before turning 2!)

We watched “Everybody’s Fine”. What a family story.

The story evolved around a family whose Dad is always left out of the loop because the kids always thought he needed them to grow up to be perfect adults who lead fantastic life. As the show comes to an end, the kids realise that their Dad doesn’t need them to be perfect adults and just wants them to be happy in things that they do - cliche. As the show comes to an end, it was revealed that the youngest son dies due to overdose whilst in a Mexican club. But the family becomes stronger in return.

I still stick by “Love Actually” as my favourite holiday movie. You know, it wasn’t till I watched the full version in Canada that I realise the reason why one couple gave their parents a stare when they asked them how they met. Singapore’s MDA sure censors heavily. If you don’t already know…

Enough of digressing.

I just wanna wish my lovely niece, a HAPPY BIRTHDAY!
