She dragged me up from my bed and tickled my feet just to wake me up at 11ish...This is my mum, naughty her always makes me laugh xD
My stress free period starts now. Officially. All I did for the day was to sort out photos, sing, and remove some files from my phone so to empty some space to download some apps.
The main event for the day was to welcome my step siblings who would be come at 6ish. Before that, she asked me to help her to extend the table somehow. I would always recommend her not to overdo something but she just never listened. In particular, she was more than forcing to pull the table so it caused a line underneath because of the screw made when she slid the separable part backward. I got yelled at for being clumsy. I knew how I didn't know where some equipment or appliances are would only drive her even more mad, but it wasn't like I wanted to be like this. But yeh, she ceased her anger til I found out there was actually a button under somewhere to close off the screw poking out...And we finally found out way to slide the table properly without damaging it...
Yes, the night was awesome because I got to finally meet up with his kids in my house. They were both quite awkward in the beginning since they walked in. I tried to be a nicest step sister as I could be by smiling at them all the time whatever I said. His daughter then talked to me for a bit. And we had a warm family time having hot pot. Mum was really keen on serving for all of us. She tried so hard to talk to Lulu with her imperfect English whilst Lulu would occasionally correct her and make sure she understood what she said. I felt glad that a 13-year-old girl was willingly to teach her how to speak proper English. So that's how everything started. Throughout the night, we joked around the education, had some opinions about both democratic and communist countries but this was only for him and I. He really wanted to listen to my thoughts towards all these. Oh and she showed them all my cubes. They both found those interesting to learn so constantly calling my name for help. That was my first time ever to feel privileged being a big sister in a family. And I exceptionally cherished that moment of having a family talk with 3 more people sitting around our table. Lulu even went to the kitchen asking mum if she needed some help for washing dishes. I heard them talking in the kitchen for a bit too.
Oh of course that great moment when she carried that exercise board out from my room, and asked them to try it on to see how it feels like. That was one of the best ways to lose weight, as recommended. The kids couldn't wait to stand on it, along with their giggling saying how this vibration works well. Then he stood on it lastly, with everyone around supporting him on the side. We all had so much fun, as if we really have already become one family from that moment.
They hugged us before they left...I meant, I'm glad that we've met them because from mum's face, I could see something more than happiness, and that is, what is beyond valued in my eyes...
