OMG WHAT? IT'S YOUR BIRTHDAY?

Dear Skizzy,

Happy 22nd birthday, love.

You are downright the snarkiest one amongst us and this pleases me so much because you're probably one of the few people who actually get me, not on a surface level, but in general.

You would take time to comfort me by telling me a random dirty joke or say something really sassy, which is ALWAYS the way to go with me.

You make fun of my loves and hates, but it's never the annoying kind of 'making fun' that everyone else is accustomed to.

You make statements that are so ridiculous, it just sticks.

I love you, I would take the bat for you in an instant because I know you'd do the same for me.

We'll always have our "The Anthemic Tanning Bed" joke. Yes, we will.

Sempiternally.


Lots of love,
~RH~


P/S: Picspam of doom to come when my brother returns David Michael to me on Thursday when he gets back from Singapore, okay?


Teaser of what's to come:

Oh, um, I'm fasting? So, I won't tell you EXACTLY what I'm thinking. Maybe later, who knows?


WELL MEOW THERE, PRECIOUS LITTLE DRUMMER BOY AND LITTLE KITTEN.

Good things come to those who wait, so be patient, love.

I am downright snarky.

Anthemic = Systemic.
Anthemic = Anaemic.
Anthemic = Anorexic.
Anthemic = Pandemic.
Anthemic = Epidemic.

IN SHORT, THE WORD 'ANTHEMIC' REMINDS ME OF DISEASES AND ILLNESSES.


That is all I want to complain about for now.

The country bumpkin in me wants to say something.

I am not much of a country music fan, but this song hits home so close right now (Because I, um, know people who are EXACTLY like this and they are NEVER satisfied with money they own, they have to STEAL from others!) and it's my favourite ever. Listen to this: Ka-Ching - Shania Twain.



Ka-Ching!

I wrote a song for you.

Dear Papa and Mama,

I know you won't read this but I wanted to put it out here. You are the strongest people I have ever known. You taught me everything I needed to know.

I may not agree on the some of the things you may decide for me, but I always know there's a reason behind it. Reasons that are good for me. I eventually get it in the end.

Please don't fret about what people say about you or the things you do for other people. They don't know the things you do, the decisions you make, the assets you have or the money you spend because THEY ARE STUPID.

We may have three cars but that doesn't mean we are rich. We used our own money to buy it, not steal said money from other people, or even beg for it from other people.

I have learnt that if I don't have the money to splurge, don't flaunt it, don't beg from others, AND more importantly, don't start leeching from other people who have it. Live according to your means, you said.

That's probably why I always end up saying "No" to a lot of things when people ask me if they could buy me anything I want. The necklace I turned down last year is a testament to this.

It is also probably why I don't have an urge to watch movies the day it comes out OR buy as many clothes as I'd like to own. I'm lucky that I can still fit into clothes I bought since I was 11 because that way, I have no reason or need to buy clothes.

We may live in a considerably big house, but it doesn't mean we're rich. We made smart investments. You work hard for the money you earn and save it as much as you can for us both.

I don't care if people think we live in a dingy area, but it's okay. I like this place, despite the fact I complain about it sometimes. I don't care what people say. Home is where the heart is and my heart is right here wherever you are.

I know you both are saving enough money for my next step in terms of education. You want to see me go far and make my dreams of studying in the UK come true.

You know how much this means to me. I love you for understanding it and trying to make it happen. I can never thank you enough for this. Not many people have parents like you two or even have the opportunity to do this. I am forever grateful for this.

Don't worry about those people who continuously hurt you. Abang and I know you both do things with our best interests in mind.

Let Abang and I worry about these utterly brainless fools. We will take them down for you in a heartbeat, because we love you. Sempiternally.

Family, just like smart people, stick together.


Yours truly,
~TTG/RH/The Anodynous One~

Just breathe.

Sometimes, I look at my feet and say "Tiny feet don't deserve big shoes" out aloud.

Then, I put on a pair of my size-8-and-a-half shoes and realise that "The shoe fits perfectly".

That's when I know I'm going to be fine.
