It's like you're confessing your love over and over...and to relatives too, hahaha. In English it's O.K. though...it sounds smoother anyway, hahaha.
yup
Chinese parents never show their affections towards each other openly. XD
[although i think my parents are weird- they do] but i heard alot from my other asian friends. XD

I think, in english, there are different tones in saying 'i love you'
Like i tell my friends 'i love you' but in the unconditional sense.


"I'm sorry, but i must have given you the impression that I actually care about your opinions"
