A Special Call

Slightly before I went uni for exam, I received an unexpected call. A call that made me bewildered a moment. Guess it reminded me that no matter how old you are, in your parents' eyes, you will always be their little kid whom they will always worry and fuss about.

Because in my parents' eyes (especially my mum, serious!), I will always be the small, little girl in the house. You know till today, sometimes in my parents' conversations I can still hear them calling me "that small girl". Haha... I do not mind, since I am indeed the youngest in the family.

Anyway regarding the call, eventhough it was not from my parents, it reminded me about my own parents' concerns about me and my brother. Sometimes we may think that our parents do not understand us, but is it always that way?

Maybe at times they really do not understand due to generation gap (at least my mom is the most open-minded among her sisters, thank god!), but their constant naggings, advices are for our own good. After all, they are just worried and concern about us. That is why I have been trying hard to change my temper over these years.

Over the phone, I could sense sadness and worries in her voice. Somehow it ached my heart when I talked to her. Maybe because I could understand how she felt as we are concerned about the same person. Or maybe because it reflected to me how my parents felt all this while when I lost my temper unintentionally or when I faced some difficulties.

I hope I can change to be a better person, and I am really trying hard to achieve that. My 21st birthday wish? Ah, that would be sufficient enough.

2 more papers to go and I am done with finals. For now, I need some sleep to forget everything about today's paper. Because tonight I shall need space to memorize new stuffs for tomorrow's paper - Engineer in Society.

Wondering what is the subject all about? Nah, just forget about it because I am sure NONE of you will be interested in this subject. Really.
