I guess it’s finally time to come clean after disappearing for 2 weeks? Hehe. My family was back for the entire week due to the Mayday holdiays in China. It was so good to see and talk to them face to face again after so many months! It’s taken so many years to develop a level of comfort with them. Can finally talk to my parents. As in really talk. Like old friends. Except that they’re my mum and dad? Ok I guess that sounds kinda weird. We’ve come such a long way, my family. We reminisced about our days in England. Those were still my favourite family days. Like the two second hand cars we had, the light green volkswagen [or was it volvo?] and red rover. All those times I spent just staring at the toys in Toys’R'Us because we couldn’t bear to spend the money. The delight of getting that brontosaurus transformer for my 6th birthday after looking at the box for months. That’s EYE POWER for you! Haha.
Thanks for coming =)
The third issue. My cousin. She’s a year and half older than me. She’s currently studying in Japan, her last year in university. Before this trip, we never really talked. Well, mostly because for the past few years when I’m there, she’s not, and vice versa. I never thought I could connect so well with a relative. We have so many ideas and philosophies of life that are similar. I never expected we’d have so much to talk about. Even more surprising is that she knows exactly what I’m talking about, despite my ailing Mandarin and Teochew. It’s incredible. I’m going to run out of superlatives.
