I love you like that.

The 15-day celebration is over. Boo.

As far as I can remember, this year I have watched more lion dance performances and fireworks than any other year. I love it. The festivity of it all makes me want to linger between these 15 days 3 times over. Maybe 4.


On the night of Chap Goh Mei (the 15th day), there was a light tap on my door, to which I responded “coming”. Under the dim light from my bedside lamp (which is really just a desk lamp placed by the bed), I was comfortably curled under the covers with Haruki Murakami. Outside my room, a priceless sight awaited- mum on all fours with face almost plastered to the floor, peering through the slit beneath my door.

What. Are. You. Doing?

Mum turned to face me, with a chuckle she said “Oh, just trying to see if you’re up or not” “and you had to go down on all fours?” “yea, cause your room seemed kinda dark” now a smirk on her face, coupled with laughs.

With a mum like this one, I have many more funny years ahead of me.

Priceless. Love.
