priorities ..

which is more important?
family, friends or other half?

to me .. i'd put my family first then friends + other half on the same level.
but now .. i'm really not sure of this sequence.

what is a family? in dictionary.com it says that family means parents and their children, considered as a group, whether dwelling together or not OR any group of persons closely related by blood, as parents, children, uncles, aunts, and cousins.
in the disney movie - lilo & stitch, lilo said that ohana means family. family means no one is left behind - or forgotten.

but sad to say .. my family is getting "separated". not literally in terms of divorcing but more like everyone is busy with their own stuff and no one cares abt each other. i really don't see the point of being so nice to them when they dont even appreciate it. for instance i actually called home to see if my dad could come down and help me carry some heavy stuff which i bought and lugged all the way from town but all i got is a call from amanda saying that my dad REFUSE to come down cuz his news was about to start and mind u he watched the 9pm channel u news, 10pm channel 8 news, 11pm channel u news and read xin.sg .. i really dont get why he watch/read all the news since all of them are almost abt the same content.

anyway if u're wondering why i could carry them from town but not till my hse .. it's all thanks to friends like yg and ian who helped me carry them while we were still walking arnd town .. at least they yg volunteered and ian helped too. even when my sis knws i was dwnstairs .. she didnt even help me open the gate although she was comfortably sitting at the living room watching tv ..

i really dont get what kind of family is this. not even helpful at all .. even last sunday when i was rushing with the farewell gift for my company .. NONE of them bothered to extend their help although they saw me struggling with it .. only dearest supported and helped me throughout .. i'm really grateful for him too ..

not forgetting my aunts who are damn hypocritical. i really hate their attitude .. they can be nice to a person in front of he/she but behind their backs they gossip and brainwash pple like no one's business .. i'm really on high alert when i'm with them .. i really dislike them talking abt others esp those close to me ..

it goes the same for friends .. as much as i want them to be happy .. yet i still get unappreciated and the feeling just sucked. i know the saying goes "it is more blessed to give than to receive" but it won't hurt just saying a "thank you" .. it's not as if i want ur life or sth ..

SIGHS. everyone is changing too rapidly .. alot of colourful attitude surfacing.
whatever it is .. i just hope that there are true friends/people arnd ..
