Well then, as said previously, it’s been an interesting few weeks, the whole month even, that I’ve been on the go and haven’t been able to write what I wanted to on the blog last time. So, anyway, I guess I’ll start now, as there’s been tonnes of stories I really wanna write down in this to remember.
So, to start off with, sis came down to Aussie-land a couple of weeks ago. She spent her time at my place, obviously, and, I do say with plenty of chargin, saying that she ‘pinked’ my whole place up, but I really appreciated her effort in cleaning and tidying up my place for me. It was great. We spent plenty of time together, shopping in Marion and Habor Town, and spent plenty of her 1, 1.5 week here looking for the ever elusive Ferrero Rodnior, the dark chocolate version of the popular Ferrero Rocher (or, as I’d always say, an improvement upon perfection). She also convinced me to buy and try a new stainless steel wok, cooked a few meals for me, and we shopped around for some skin care stuffs for Auntie Woo and ourselves.
Spent countless hours yapping as well, and tried to help her organize some time with her friends in Adelaide. We had dinner with Suzie and David and their kids, and O.M.G. nothing really tells you how much time flies as you watch kids grow. I can still remember little Anushka as a wonderful little newborn and now she’s old enough to call me uncle Jason (boohoo). Also had lunch with a group of her church friends, including Auntie Lai Wah, Hwee Ling and her daughters. Right. Daughters. I really do tend to forget our age gaps, sometimes, and when you take that into consideration and how diverse my sister’s friends are (cultural and age-wise), it shouldn’t really come as a surprise that some of them have kids around my age now, right? It’s almost as if I had a nephew that was born before I was. Haha. Ok not that bad, but I think that was the shocker for me when I first heard of Kristen Tee’s age. Lolz.
Took her to most of my coffee joints, elephant walk (where we drew stares as she completely dethroned me in bubblepop game on my iphone), cikolatte, cibo etc etc. Also wanted, but didn’t get the chance to take her to spatz, but she’s apparently been there before anyways, so there you go.
Sis then left for Melbourne for the weekend. Came back later with a scarf for yours truly. Also went and bought another scarf at Marion and we met someone who introduced herself as a Penangite. And from Tanjung Bunga. Scary how small the world is, sometimes.
Anyway, after about 2 weeks of great, but short time, together, sis went back to Penang to check in one final time with mom, dad and granny. And she’s now back in US.
I love you, sis.
There, I said it. ;)
