Lunar New Year
Been meaning to blog this for some time, but has been busy and not feeling well with sore throat. Not that I indulged a lot in New Yr goodies tho :p
CNY was overall ok. The eve began with a session at the doctor's for my check up. Felt a bit dismayed upon realising something and felt the effect almost immediately; dunno if it's self-fulfilling prophecy? But I believe God will heal me in time. Went for a walk in Botanic Gardens. Had never been there. Realised it's a really beautiful place! Saw some species of plants that I've neva seen b4. Strange that most of the visitors there r Korean tourists and Caucasian expats. Our CNY eve dinner was the norm. The entire extended family gathered at my place for dinner.
Watched Andy Lau's "Say Again You Love Me" or something like that while waiting around for everyone to get ready to visit my granduncle on the 1st day. Aiyoh the entire plot was almost exactly like the Korean drama "Summer Scent". Not fantastic, but can be rather touching at some points. Bro came back in the evening.
Had a great catching up session with Raine the next day. She was astounded at how "nua" I have become and coaxed me to go to a party with her to meet new people. So we went to my place so that I could get changed. We marvelled at how long it had been since she last came to my place. Think we must have been in Sec 2 then!
I know she is gonna kill me for this, but I must talk abt her Dad cos he was simply so cute! It's so evident that he is very, very fond of her. Calling her a "gem" and saying that she is very pretty and saying he was so disappointed that I wasn't going to club with her to take care of her. Hee hee. My own Dad would not do that lor. He is the sort that may feel some stuff, but neva show it one haha.
Anyway, the party I went to happened to be thrown by the father of one of my seniors from St. John last time. Shawn (I was almost gonna call her "Ma'am", as was the custom back then) looked the same and I'm glad she is doing well. I was most impressed by the architecture of the house, though. Apparently her father told the architect to "go wild!" and he did just that. I am not good at description, but it was like a combi between colonial style, with some resort-like feel. For example, the bathroom was the outdoor kind! Really like that! And we all crowded into Uncle's room to watch a homemade video of their skiing trip to Japan, which was so professionally done! Complete with nice Christmas carols as background music. Woah! I like to ski. Had tried skiing when I went to Korea. The same hotel that they filmed the drama "Autumn in my Heart" in. And I tried it once again at Mount Buller in Australia. Would love to ski again.
Oso just came back from Joan's house. I haven't seen some of my classmates like Zongjin, Xinjie and Jane ever since I left Sec 4! How some of them have changed. Jane said I haven't changed much haha. Din talk much to them tho. Was neva that close to them in the first place and I guess when you lose that contact, you just drift apart. But had a good time talking to Audrey and Jingting, whom I still keep in contact with.
