I'm back! from Australia & a great wkend

haven't been updating since I came back, because I was busy with many other things & events! shall leave the Australia posts till when I'm more free, photos are in fact already up in FB. so yep, for the time being I'll leave it aside for a while.

anyway, this weekend has been, I think I can say... sweet! been hanging out with Jer & his friends... actually I can say my friends too, its almost a year! Bing proposed to Jo at WCP and he involved the whole gang. its the first time I'm part of sth like this and yeah, its sweet. but the bride-to-be didn't cry leh, hahaha.











and of cos she said 'I do' (: they've been together since poly, sweet!

and last night we watched night at the museum 2 with the same gang after dinner at Jer's place. his parents are real nice... I had actually turned down the invitation for dinner cos already made plans with my family. But I learnt that it seems they wanted to cook a nice Korean meal cos I havent eaten at their place for some time (due to my grad trip). so yeah, I turned up and Jer's frens called us for the movie. So I guess it's fated that I spend Sunday evening with him. haha.

talk abt fate... on sat after the proposal, we made our way to West Coast Plaza for dinner at Sushi Tei. we had a big grp and were waiting for our orders to come, so I was just looking around the restaurant. there was this little boy right opposite our long table playing around, jumping up and down. he was cute, and when he looked at me I waved. haha, he was so friendly and smiled & waved back.

this continued for a few times while he was having a great time jumping up & down. until... I saw the guy seated in the same cubicle as them. it was my cousin's husband. then did I realise the 3 little boys were my nephew and my dear cousin was there. you might ask how come I couldn't recognise my own nephews. It's cos this cousin had lived very far from us in SengKang all these yrs, and I only knew the eldest boy. it was only recently that she moved to Clementi. and I recognised my cousin from the knitted cap she was wearing over her head. yeah, the cousin I blogged abt previously who was getting treatment for cancer? this is the one... seeing her with the boys, eating dinner like a happy family makes me feel relieved for her. I wish her a speedy recovery...

and guys? time for a long time due gathering, man... even if its at JP I wouldn't mind, haha!

full house at Jer's. Labour Day wkend

spent my Labour Day weekend with Jer's family. His youngest sis asked me to stayover a few times and yeah, frankly speaking we would appreciate the time together b4 I was to fly.

this whole weekend was a very enjoyable one, though it was dampened by the fact that my period came on Saturday (my first day there). Yes, of cos I rather it spoil my wkend trip than my grad trip. But was like so tired and cramping that his sisters said 'oh... no wonder you look like that', and she hunched her back and gave a very 'sian' look. HAHAHA. they're funny in a cute way. sometimes they meant to make you laugh, sometimes they don't and they still do.

I think this was one of the times I really felt that 'hey... this feels like home'. After dinner Megan commented 'Mummy got 6 children, kor'. She was refering to all the kids in the family and their gf/bf. And Aunt Lynn was really sweet to offer me to lend me her jacket after I said it'll be cold in Melbourne. Before I left for home just now, she gave me a red packet and wished me a happy birthday & a safe trip to Aussie. How nice is that! I was really touched at her little gestures... I know Jer will say silly gal... its been almost a year since we were tog and I know they treat us like family. But yeah, its the first time I've really interacted with my boyfriend's family to this extent... so it can be a lil' overwhelming at times.

their sisters pestered us to tell them how we started. I decided it was a gd time to let them know anyway... so they heard of how it started from the day we spoke at the guardhse and the rest is history... you guys know already (: so yeah, he got teased of cos! hahaha. we both did... and they ask me

'SH... then you got regret breaking up with your ex-bf?'

No prize for guessing my answer!



嬷嬷 even told Jer that they are very surprised that I can click so well with his cousins... and that I was even willing to play with them. hahaha, apparently they thought I'm like the older child, more matured... won't know hw to play with kids maybe?
