then headed to changi to aunt janet's place
haha all her relatives were there
and we were pretty much outsiders haha
but they're very nice ppl
who dont make us feel like outsiders
oh yeah, aaron eio was there too.
yummy dinner aunt janet prepared
didnt take any pics there


tues - reach grp gathering at bro daniel's condo
nice, luxurious condo
my my his apartment was packed like sardine with church members, that is.
anyway i spotted his sudoku book
and i was interested to learn how to play it
there and then, i got addicted to playing it!
its super fun man!

came home, had to prepare for my paternal relatives coming over

soon, auntie ah tin came with her husband and my nephew,
which i had nv seen b4
i have a nephew.
that makes me an auntie right?
then aunt lynn and family came too.

caught up with my 2 cousins, debbie and danielle
which is probably a first in my 19 years
they're pretty crazy ppl too la


after dinner, we walked to imm
shopped ard a bit

managed to take pics of my nephew




he probably looks like every chinese kid you see on the streets
but he has a very interesting character
and he is very responsive, which is smtg i dont really see in a lot of kids
like when you say, edison must be a good boy, ok?
he'll look at you and say, okay.
or when you say bye, he looks at you and say, bye.


that was my composition (haha) on my cny.
will update abt wed and thurs soon, when i get the pics!


argh, sore throat.

♥ we have changed but we're still the same ;
