Such a deceiving title haha. I'm not celebrating Valentine's Day. I probably won't even remember today if Charlotte's school didn't ask the parents to prepare 21 V day cards for her classmates. My V day memories in the past all revolve around my girl friends. I think that's one plus points about being in a girl school. We get to celebrate on this particular day even if we don't have another half. We don't care about boys last time. We were so happy celebrating it among ourselves hah. We just called it friendship day and gave each other gifts like flowers, chocolates etc. anything that couples give each other. Those were the happiest and best times. In fact, I don't remember much of the celebrations after getting a partner. I'm too lazy to think hard about it anyway. Probably just dinner, flowers and gifts.
After having a kid, dinner flowers and gifts became even more of a past. I know many couples still celebrate this day. We on the other hand don't even go for dates. Some of the friends I made here were shocked to hear it. But I think it is perfectly fine. As long as Charlotte is behaving and happy, I'm happy she's around me.
I'm still not over the disturbing fact that is to come. I'm trying to suppress the thought but it's so hard! Der has been asking me what's up. It is something that I can't say it out and even if I do, what can he do? Must as well shut up about it and hopefully the feeling will go away (I doubt hah). It's not like I hate my mil but I just don't want conflict and unhappiness esp when my hormones are all going crazy after I deliver. I'll probably be even harder to get along at that period of time. I remember even screaming at my own mother at home during my previous confinement. Well, it may seem rude but this is the way I was growing up. I speak my mind and always end up quarrelling with my mum 90% of the time we are together. That's why I like being overseas. Doing things my own way without judgement and it is possible even though my mum always think we can't survive without her. I think I did perfectly fine and I'm happy with my own freedom. I know this will not be forever but I'm really enjoying being away while it last.
Ending this post with a random posey pic of Ms Charlotte.
