post parent visit post

mom and dad have gone back for more than a week. It was so exhausting.. it was like.. omg... There was parents, hsin-yu, and the karen and her mom were visiting.. all within a month... i am not unhappy about it.. it was just very tiring..

and... needless to say.. every time mom and dad are here.. it's mentally tiring. everytime they come, I have a new understanding or .. not understanding of everyone and our relationships. this time... what I learnt is that the reason I get so tired from them is the I never know what they are thinking about.. at any given point of time, I never know if they are in a happy state or not happy state..sometimes I thought they are not so happy, they are actually fine.. sometimes when I am happy and in a good mood, and everything seems to be, they all of sudden shows their unhappy mood to me.. it's just so unpredictable.. that makes things so hard...

have to deal with this twice a year is pretty hard.. and it's not something that you can talk about with them... well.. normally, you'd say.. you need to talk about it.. have a conversation w/ them and bla bla bla.. well.. i know our relationship well, I know my dad well.. it's just not going to work.. too bad...

anyway... after they went back.. I actually took 2 sicks days off... not that I was sick.. just to rest from the month.. it was good.. after the 4 days ( plus weekend ).. I actually missed my office a bit.. felt refreshed and was ready to work again...
