Those 3 words
Was watching on TV Mobile on the bus and it was re-runs of "Wellness Villa". Spore's version of reality TV - didnt really take off I guess. We dun like to stare at other Sporeans' lives or perhaps more possibly, we dun like to be stared at for our flaws and being bitchy on TV. The women were watching a video where their family members say mushy stuff and they cry. One woman was very touched when her mum says I love you. She was like "my mum never told me she loves me in my face but I know she does". My own parents have never told me they love me. Not in my face tho. I also never need to hear it from them. We are typical chinese no-touchy-feely-kissy-gushy types I guess. But I always know they do love me. My dad would peel prawns for me. He has never hugged me but he will eat up the veggies I hid in his rice to avoid detection fm my mum when I was young - without a word. THAT is love. My mum cooks me my fav lotus root soup everytime I go home to see her - THAT is definitely love since she knows I love it. She even trys to record my fav TV shows when I was in BJ. I will never need for my parents to say those 3 words. They are etched in my heart forever. I hope they dun need me to say it to them too. That they feel it from me. Of course it is NICE to say it. Even nicer to show it by hugging. P prob has to say it like 3 times a day - ha ha ha.... but parents.... different lah......different level and it's something that surrounds your heart. Your partner may be in your heart, but your family is the one that holds it.
