Its been a great week:) Can’t believe its Tuesday already though..

Had lunch with my mom, aunts and grandma yesterday..ha my mom’s side of the family is particularly loud..quite embarrassing at times but also quite cute:) imagine a table-full of chattering ladies laughing and talking:) I hope when I get older I’ll still get together regularly with my sisters and mom like my mom does with her sisters and mom:) Its so easy to lose touch with the people close to us in our busy world.

Spent a bit of time with my mom after that at a coffee shop nearby her workplace..I still feel bad at times for studying overseas at her expense..ha but she keeps assuring me that she’ll be happy enough knowing I end up doing something I want to do with my life and that I can repay her in the future with a karaoke machine. She says she’ll be kept happy as an old retired lady with karaoke and mahjong:)

Met Lynn at holland village in the later part of yesterday afternoon..felt so great to be able to talk to her, even for such a short while..it feels like I can never run out of things to tell her and it felt sad to say goodbye to her..I think its cool how there are certain friends I only see a few precious moments in a year yet I still feel like I can tell them anything on my mind:)

She accompanied me to orchard where we parted at wheelock and I met phin peng at sakae..ha it was his first time dining at a conveyor belt- style sushi place:) ha so ulu:) he kept asking what the different dishes were and was so indecisive in deciding what to eat:) But I had a good time catching up with him:)

Today was another fun day:) went to NUS in the morning to be nerdish and look for textbooks..found a good histology book:)think I should go to NUS co-op instead of Yun Nan next time..afterward joined my sister and grandma at crystal jade for a good lunch:) my grandma was so sweet, wanting to treat me to lunch before I head back to sydney..spent the afternoon shopping in good company..heh feels nice to be doing simple stuff back home once again:)

Met cindy and xinli at gelare for waffles and ice cream!Ha Tuesday is waffles-half-price day at gelare:) and had a short birthday celebration for xinli:) happy birthday xinli:) yet another year has passed..

ah we’re all getting old..ha I still can’t picture my mother as a grandmother. Ha my sister was talking to us during dinner about preparations for the baby..she’s gonna buy a cot and pram soon and my room’s probably gonna be converted to the baby room. Ha. So I might be sharing my room with my nephew when I return in november. Oh well. Hope he likes the stars on my bedroom ceiling:)

Xinli commented how it felt like I had never left. I remember lynn and even pips saying that as well. I guess thats cos even back before I left for sydney, everyone was each busy with their own lives and we never got to meet up that often anyway..Meeting up with all my friends these past few weeks has just made me more aware of the fact that everyone’s leading such different lives now..yet I’m glad that we’re all still able to talk like before, and to share experiences we have in the different lives we all lead..

5 more days of hols left:)
