Woke up to lazy start today! I got out of bed at like 8:30am to use the toilet before heading back to my room...and my mum chirped a 'good morning!' and then I said I was going back to bed; I only got up to use the toilet. haha! The next time I awoke was 11am, went to bathe and play com while waiting for guests to arrive.
I had a real good time when my cousin Yilin came over. We meet only so often, because of her impossibly hectic schedule. 10 training sessions a week (she's a national fencer, travels the world for competitions and training programs and stuff) which means double sessions on 4 weekdays and single sessions on Wednesdays and Saturdays, Sunday being her only off day, which isn't really an off day because she's still caught up with schoolwork and stuff. It's really amazing how she's able to juggle school and fencing and still do well for both of them.
She noticed a couple of things about me that no one else had ever told me before.
1. My shoulders looked broader and I looked less boyish
2. I grew taller (but that was later justified by the fact that I'd stopped slouching and stood and sat straighter)
We talked about a lot of random stuffs and shared some videos on youtube too. She showed me this bass guitar player who is HELLA AWESOME. Great in terms of technique AND musicality; not just the brainless shredding most people are so awed by all the time. I showed her Jeff Dunham. Wanted to show her Miss Swan but didn't have the chance to; we had to go over to my aunt's place for dinner.
She noticed the change in arrangement on the black magnetic boards on my right wall and inevitably asked "where's girlfriend?" Well obviously I had to tell her; no point keeping it from her anyway, though I mentioned I was hoping she wouldn't ask. haha. Chatted a bit about it, and her reaction towards it was pretty surprising although oddly welcoming as well.
My mum called me into the living room and told me that my aunt (Yilin's mum) was going to start teaching her about Christianity sometime later in the year and asked me if I wanted to go with her too. My reaction was like 0_o ? Then she mentioned the need to have a religion and stuff, so I just said "running is my religion now" and she didn't say anything. hahaha. avoiding the problem is so easy sometimes. Its strange how she's so willing to accept Christianity as her faith now. I told her that's alright; but don't expect to be able to drag me to church on a whim. I'd like to stay godless for a while longer.
When we left for my aunt's place we realized my aunt's car didn't have enough space for all of us so Yilin and I walked to my aunt's place instead. We were talking about relationships (more about hers and her friends') and a possible retreat together (both our families) to Japan at the end of the year. I'm pretty hyped for it. I guess I'll have to scrap any overseas plans I'd intended to make with my BMT mates.
Then we were at my aunt's place, and my three cousins were going on and on endlessly about us being a couple and bla bla bla, though quite obviously she was as much their cousin as she was mine. Things got worse when she hugged me in front of them hahaha. That felt weird. But they were just being childish little jerks, like they always are. hahaha. I just told her it was best not to patronize them; encouraging them gave them confidence and that wasn't good for either of us.
The food was good! I had a second helping which I kind of regretted; I was so full.
Soon it was time to leave, and she didn't want to. She wanted to come back to my place to spend a little more time together but her grandma was really tired so her mum didn't oblige. I really didn't want to part with her either. It's just so nice to be with her...so easy to talk to, completely non-judgmental, smart, mature, and always so sincere about everything. But it's okay, she made it a point for us to catch up once a week or fortnight, just to hang out. Even said she wants to have a picture taken and framed. haha. that would be nice =) can't wait to see her again.
I still have that fuzzy feeling inside. haha. I guess I didn't realize how much I'd missed her till I saw her again today.
Alright...time to bathe and get back to gaming. Doesn't seem like there's anyone online to talk to. Should get an early rest tonight because I'm meeting khairi and mum for a 10km run tmr morning. I've to be up at 7am!!! omg...gotta remember to drink lots of water before I go to bed too.
