It's my birthday yesterday... Although i dint feel the excitement of a birthday girl like when i was young, i'm still happy that my family took time to celebrate with me.

From top to bottom: Sista and Husband, sistis and boyfriend, my 2 handsome younger brothers and me.
We had a simple dinner at Clementi Centre because i'm too lazy to cook something for them... After which, we headed to my place to chill and chat up. Daddy joined us after dinner cos he's unfinished work at the time we had dinner.
Mum was missing during the "celebration", she knocked off late on her 1st day of work and because mum and dad recently had a fight, i'm okay that both of them dint turn up together and make my day ugly.

Our folks fight pretty often, hence we have a rather unhealthy approach towards their fights now, we pretend not to see, hear or know abt it. Since nobody can really help, none helped.
Now that i'm married, these issues are left to the other 4... i'm usually the last to know now. They're really tired and the approach adopted is unanimous despite undiscussed. I get discouraged too so i really understand how the other 4 feel especially my BIG sista.
When i was like 8 yrs old, mum and dad fought almost close to the time of my birthday too. It is such a big fight that i've got no presents, no cake, no folks on my birthday. That made me a little scared abt every festive or celebrations... Things dint change unfortunately, they are still regularly fighting in spite of our umpteen interventions... *discouraged* the irony is: they do love each other... duh!
I wish that my folks will one day learn to appreciate each other and the 5 of us to have good marriages having learnt from them... I wish that Ray and i have a successful marriage that our kids will learn from.
