It's been a great first week back:)
Met the band girls today for lunch/surprise birthday celebration for cass..guess it was quite a surprise considering her birthday was awhile back; when we started singing the birthday song in fish & co. cass's first reaction was, "who me?":) We spent some time before that trying to figure out a place for lunch..Ended up at PS cos the movie tickets for harry potter at lido were lousy. Embarrassed ourselves taking numerous photos in front of the huge chicken little figure at the PS box office:)
It's felt as if I never left..yet little things here and there in orchard appear differently from the way I remember..anyway it was nice seeing everyone again:) and I was so full and sleepy after that HUGE piece of dory fish. Been eating a lot of good food this week..:) Heh met lionel for a japanese buffet at suntec on thursday..he hasn't changed much either:)still the same blur nice guy I know and good thing he hasn't lost any more weight.
I really thank God for all the people in my life. Seeing all my friends and family again everytime I return to singapore reminds me of that:) Heh not that my sydney friends don't..In a way I kind of miss sydney..my first year in sydney will always have a special place in my heart; It was a year of ups & downs..filled with smiles, tears and lessons learnt. Its really hard to believe the year's coming to an end already..this time last year I was preparing for my sister's wedding; now she's a mom. This time last year I was getting geared up to spend the next 6 years in tasmania; now I'm finished with year one at UNSW. This time last year I was so sad at the thought of leaving home; now I'm back home & looking forward to living on my own next year..yeah it'll be different having to cook and clean for myself, but it'll be good for me:) Haha cooked breakfast for my family this morning..It feels nice cooking for others but think if I'm on my own I probably won't bother going to too much trouble.. But anyway for now I'm just going to enjoy being home for the next 2 months:)
Went for a jog around dalvey then played badminton with qi earlier..then we brought buster for a looong walk..poor buster's been cooped up in the house ever since my sister gave birth..but he's been a good boy:)I'm pretty sure he understands what's going on:) Haha my elder sister says I've been uncharacteristically sporty since my return this time. Guess I'm just trying to keep up with what I started in sydney last semester..cos it'll be harder to start the habit again if I stop now..heh and the other night I was giving my mom a massage..she said that I felt
stronger. Heh. Sigh but its probably just psychological. Either that or I'm really building muscle from carrying Lucas in my arms around the house:)
Lucas has been sleeping better the last couple of nights..(which means better sleep for all of us as well) but my mom says I still have huge panda eyes..my right arm kind of aches now from me carrying him during my attempt to pacify him last night..He was particularly restless but was relatively soothed by the lights on our christmas tree:)Haha my mom was saying that I was an easy baby to take care of; Cos I just slept all the time. Hmm maybe that's why I have trouble sleeping now..Maybe I slept too much as a baby:)
anyway, getting kind of geared up about the japan trip..wasn't particularly excited about going at first cos I was kind of looking forward to just coming home, enjoying being home and spending time with my family..but now its suddenly dawned on me that I'm going to JAPAN. wow:) wish my elder sister could join us though.. yes for those who don't know yet, I'm leaving for japan tomorrow!so I'll probably check back in another week's time:)have a great week everyone:)
