Ps: Im an avid blog reader of yours ;)

Just popped in and read ur post.

Ur post touches me as well.

I guess this is what life is.

Yes, family is very important though we seldom know how to show concern for each other, we love and value each and every family member deeply in us.

Friends come and go, relationship gets very fragile nowadays.
In difficult times only family is there for you.
The love and warmth family gives can never be replaced.

And yes, every one has his own problems from studies, work, relationship, family, etc.

Do stay strong.

Love,
E.L

Hi Philson,

You may find your sis naggy, or get mad at her when you see this post.

But the Pegs whom I used to know seldom share what’s deeply in her mind.
She really do care and love you.

Do take care of her too.

=)

pegs! don’t give up on him, no matter how tired you may be already! cannot give up on him! don’t give in to tiredness! don’t!

Hi Philson, if you are reading this, it shows that you do care about what your sister feels about you. Perhaps I may assume that you are doing your O Levels this year? I would like to share with you a very personal story. I hope you will feel fortunate and lucky for being in your family after reading this.

When I was about to do my O Levels about a few years back, I faced one of the greatest difficulties of my life. I was from a neighbourhood secondary school and I did fairly well to enter a triple science class. Even though I had to appeal to get in, I was extremely pleased with myself for getting into one of the best class of the level (this was just to please my mom). But the problems were that I had so much difficulty catching up with the syllabus as compared to my peers. While everyone was getting their As and Bs, I was only getting mere passes and Cs. It was an extremely humiliating experience throughout the 2 years of preparation for my O Levels since there was immense pressure to perform well academically and yet I was the only one flunking every single subject. Not only was I upset with myself for not getting things right, I was also upset with my family for the amount of support that they had given me.

You see, I didnt grow up in a happy family. Unlike yourself, I have never received words of encouragement from my family. I consider you to be a very lucky boy.

My point is, you may not see the importance of getting your studies on track or graduating with decent grades. It may not be your priorities right at this point in time cos you are still young, and slightly immature. But your family, especially your sister has gone through so much, surely you can give her the slightest respect and pay more attention to what she’s telling you? At the end of the day, blood is indeed thicker than water. Humans are just wired this way to feel more for people that we are related to by blood. Your family wouldnt lie to you the way they feel about you, and thats how they may end up being brutally honest. You may not realise, but your family will definately be far more forgiving then anyone else you know out there, be it your best friends or your girlfriend. If you take a wrong step in life, your family is the only one that will not judge you based on your doings or character and will continue to love you irregardless.

Take some time and think through all the events in your life, then maybe judge for yourself. I’m sure your family is way better than mine. It is never too late to change. Take small steps and you will get there eventually.

All the best!
