Finally, this morning, i told my aunt about moving out. It took me 2 days of courage, well more than 2 days actually...months. Some people asked, why is it so difficult to tell and Why do i need courage? Because i know my aunt and her daughter need me more than i need my housemates or my housemates need me. I need the courage to be selfish. Though i am not very comfortable living with a family, and yearn for space of my own, i know that i have been the listening ears of my aunt. She talk,and talk and talk to me when i return home in the evening and in the morning, but i never complain. She's lonely, her little daughter too. Her husband work so late into the night, something i began to hate, feeling embarassed too because i was once doing the same. Where is Work and Life balance!??! It's simply too difficult in here. This is one lesson i learnt from my experience in India and living with my aunt's family. I guess i have been extremely lucky and blessed, because all my life, i get to see and learn things by experience, and i also get the chance to change it for good. However, i also clearly bear in mind that the same will not be true forever, I do not always will get the precious second chance. I can see that my aunt was extremely sad when i told her the news. Now she wants me to return to her place and stay for weekends. Wonder if moving out is the best decision.


On a happier note: Meet the Robinson is extremely good! I watched it in 3-D, it's even TOP!
