malisa had a really wonderful time in singapore!
hmm i should recap what i did.
After sleeping for only three hours, i got up and got ready to fly back home. it was stressful and i was constantly worrying about flight delays cos i had three connecting flights with not more than an hour in between each flight. but thank God! the weather was miraculously good (there was a snow storm just the day before) and I flew back in one piece. managed to pack what i wanted back home...the huge amounts of food and using steph's weighing scale to weigh my luggage and repacking and repacking...managed to buy what i wanted to buy for my uncle and grandma in the narita airport...managed to buy beer for my dad...managed to collect my luggage and kick it outside that glass panel (though looking a bit unglam) cos there were no more trolleys...got a surprise when i saw yibin and my two lovely students at the airport to receive me! i was dreadfully hot hot hot cos i wore like two layers of pants and i was carrying my winter coat, vln and many other stuff... (right i just remembered that i havent practised violin at all during this break =S) ooh then i headed down for supper! ate a nice mee sua soup! chompchomp! =)
i dont think i'll forget how happy i was seeing changi airport from inside the plane. wanted to share the excitement with this canadian lady sitting beside me well, our enthusiasm were clearly of a different level. and of course, when i turned on my phone i saw a very sincere phone-sent message! aww =)
right so when i reached home i started giving out presents i bought to my parents and brother. they were happy. and then i got bombed. i was really quite shocked and i did tear quite a bit but after a few days and seeing her in person i started to accept it. do what you can when the person is around! no point wasting precious time away feeling sad or what not. mm! so i'm making full use of this holiday here to do what i can so that i wont regret it. i've told her to wait wait wait for me to get back in may and we'll go eat KFC together. told her to count down to when i'm reaching back in singapore. i'll pray and i'll continue to hope.
she loves eating macs! aww she's so so so cute. her appetite has not been very good and i was surprised that she could eat so much when i cooked chicken rice for her and when she ate in macs yesterday. haha so i concluded with my mum and aunty that she's spoilt and that she's picky. hahahaha but i really think she's enjoying life...very ho mia...like when we were eating macs she said she wanted french fries. hahaha in the end she got to eat half a fillet-o-fish (I ate the other half), eat the red bean pie and da bao an apple pie, drink coffee (but refused to drink it later cos it's too bitter-so she claims), drink coke (and complain it's too cold), eat my very nice french fries dipped in ice cream (and she was smiling while eating that! awwww so cute!) indeed she's weh weh weh americanised! hahahaha i can bring her to US le. :)
and then as usual we went to walk walk at Giant where i was holding her and she started to nag at me again. Study hard! Dont get distracted by other things! (ahem ahem)Get good grades! Come back and earn alot of money! haha she's really funny. she asks me weird questions but then tells me not to get distracted. aww =)
wellwell i had many family gatherings too where i was showered with lots and lots of sincerity and i felt really loved! i feel that i'm very pampered by my parents, brother, uncles and aunties! tee hee hee =) my mum brought me shopping for clothes, talking to me and many other stuff, my dad drove me to buy clothes, buy nice food for me like tampines nasi lemak and chilli crab, my brother kept wanting to treat me good food every other day (aww!), roydon's dad cooked my favourite chilli chicken, black pepper crab, steam fish, roydon's mum sewing for me my choir dress, allowing me to steal that really cute purple penguin lover of mine, my jiujiu buying otah for me and that colourful steam cake, nonya kuehs like the rainbow kueh and oneh oneh! awwww malisa is truly touched! and of course there were lots lots more that they did which i will remember and bring with me to rochester! =))
family gatherings aside! i've met up with some SNG friends, got a very nice set of expensive bath necessities which i will figure out how to use, a really small class gathering and mep outing and BS lunch at RJ where i coloured and bought the RJ polo tee with wendy!
oh and yes i had other wonderful outings too. like watching swan lake (where i was disppointed! no live orchestra! we'll watch one another day ok?), eating macs, receiving weh sincere happiness presents, nice christmas service that was weh entertaining and warm, dessert and gaping at ppl's 3D-ness, nice breakfast at RJ, trekking at bukit timah hill, chatting late at night and of course! sushi (in january =P) hahaha followed by a very nice walk!
all these memories i will bring with me to rochester and i think they will be able to last me through the next semester so i wont miss things too much here! =)
