The festive season looms over me like an overbearing shadow, engulfing me in crimson silk ribbons and gilded letters. The house is lush with intricate decorations, each and every one a byproduct of my mother's assiduousness in making our home the very embodiment of perfection. Beautiful flowers are placed carefully in vases that are just as resplendent; incarnadine cloths adorn the walls, creating an atmosphere characteristic of grandeur. I meander along the walls, marvelling at the amount of effort put into the house's decor, also awed by my mother's greatness. She had single-handedly metamorphosed our humble two storeyed home into a mini palace worthy of any regal presence. In the kitchen, my family is busy cooking and baking food for tomorrow. Grandmother chops the garlic with great skill whilst mother slices the pork into bite-sized pieces. Their faces show an extraordinary ardency that is unrivalled, their every movement bearing an immeasurable magnitude of sacrifice. They are exhausted, but still fueled by an inextinguishable will. I cannot help but ask if there is anything I could do to alleviate some of their burdens. They say no. I scurry next door, looking to do my part in the preparations, but there is none. Everything that had to be done had already been done and I now feel ashamed that I did not do more. After all, what is cleaning chairs and making chinese new year gifts compared to the labour of cooking and cleaning? |

Jin loves brownies, cookies and cake. Jin has never been anywhere further than Australia. Jin could never stop being a sadistic, sarcastic meanie. Jin is also the opposite of everything said one line up when the need arises. Jin would rather have a desktop rather than a laptop. Jin has an obsessive, compulsive need to ramble, blabber and regurgitate all manner of nonsense. Jin hates being ignored by the people he loves. Jin hates being alone most of the time. Jin hates reflecting about his actions. It's taxing. Jin has a habit of thinking too much. Jin often doesn't see the glass as half-empty or half-full.He just sees the glass. To some, Jin is weird; to others, Jin is even weirder. Jin wants nothing more than to be happy. Rich would be a big plus though. Jin is pretty tired of referring himself in the third person's perspective. |

Being apart from my sayang. Seeing animals get tortured. Seeing people get hurt. Losing what's important to me. Sluggish internet connections. Bittergourds and zombies. |
