visiting.
went to grandaunt's place. silas stephanus and i wore brown cargo pants. haha. how cute.
it was warm there. didnt eat at first cos i had no appetite. but i did much later. more cousins started to come with their families. just realised today that i only have one nephew. the rest are all nieces. i gotta carry baby madeline who is just one month old. *smiles*
we changed our location to meiling jiejie's house. watched 'the maid' in her basement. then it was more bonding time with my nieces. the adults played cards. not knowing how to play and not wanting to gamble i hung around with my nieces. watching 'tom and jerry'. haha. two of my favourite nieces -celesta and chanelle. i regret not bringing my cam. forgive me for being bias but they're both so adorable. esp chanelle. she calls me and daddy by our names. shes only two and she can get my name right. when i fell asleep while accompanying her due to the medication she woke me up. so cute. you should see her. shes very selective of who carries her. and i got to do so. *proud* she kissed me goodbye. i miss her already. im so gonna bring my cam along the next time i see her.
this year visiting has become shorter. less locations. no more busy schedule. all is relaxed. we can take our time. and even got home alot earlier compared to previous years.
daddy and mummy cant give ang baos cos grandpa and aunt arent gone for a year yet. daddy says this year we earn. haha.
on our way home i asked daddy and mummy the question i've been curious about. all i wanted to know was either yes or no. but it went further. haha. even silas and stephanus got involved. funny. daddy gave me this stupid answer. haha. but they share the same views as me. we're a family after all.
this blog is made possible becos of carol and da b. so a big thank you for staying up so late to help me! and also to hannan for trying to help.

reunion dinner day.
something i wasnt looking forward to becos we would be having it without grandpa and aunt jackie.
all started well with everybody gathering at uncle albert's house.
i napped the whole day on the sofa tks to my medicine. first time i was made drowsy by medicine. felt weak. didnt like that feeling. all i wanted to do was close my eyes and drift away to dreamland. except for going out to buy flowers-mummy bought sunflowers! my favourite. and then aunt carina forced me to drink this YUCKY sparkling oldenlandia water-she said its for my own good cos im sick. i will never drink it ever again!
dinner was faster than usual.somebody else cooked it this time.no longer aunt jackie. the atmosphere was alittle weird. i could see the redness in uncle albert's eyes.he cried. i didnt and boy did i thought everything that has happened last year made me stronger.
i lost two loved ones.but they have a place deep down in my heart forever.
and i believe grandpa and aunt jackie, you both are in heaven looking over us.
boy oh boy. i didnt see it coming. somebody just had to make jerry mad and he started barking and biting.she fell.but the whole comotion made uncle albert mad.even threatening to kill jerry.but hes so dear to aunt jackie. like a son. guess i wont see him around much soon. i'll miss ya jerry. hes sucha cute dog.
mummy had to hold uncle albert back from 'killing' jerry. hes real angry. after a while he cooled down and went somewhere for a smoke. i dont blame him for flaring up cos it aint easy getting over the death of someone you love dearly. i havent.
i coluldnt hold it in any longer. i cried. so theres still weakness in me. i felt so disappointed cos of what happened.it was supposed to be a happy day. im being bias if i blame it on her. but she shouldnt have been there. if it wasnt for her...
i hid in the toilet. cos daddy doesnt like to see me crying. and nobody would understand why i was crying.except to think i was just being me- a crybaby. im not. thats just how i let it out but people simply dont understand.
on my way home i msged uncle albert.he replied tks mona. i cried lots today. i miss aunt jackie. if only she was here.
i didnt wanna start my blog with sucha down scaled post...but i was too drowsy and sick to post about my shopping trip with luu yest. retail therapy. thats what it was.
fun. luu is so nice to be around and i felt so honoured when she said im like a little sister she never had. but surprisingly i didnt get anything. i cant believe it myself. maybe i was just sick and it somehow affected the shopaholic in me. i wanted to get this top from zara actually but the queue just turned me off. but retail therapy worked. i felt alright throughout.
we decided to get a drink-in marche. walked in and this waitress shoved a marche card into each of our hands informing us- theres a min spending of ten dollars nett. oh man. we so regretted going there. luu felt guilty. but she shouldnt have cos its not everyday that such interesting stuff happens. at least i gotta eat my bread pudding. the medicine started to have its effect when we were in marche. we left. walking to a bus stop opp wisma from hereen only to realise our bus stop is just in front of hereen. a case of the blind leading the blind. but at least i gotta see the seats for the upcoming chingay parade. which i'd be performing in.
