I'm tired but oh-so-happy! Spent the day with my family. The first time in a long time. Makes me feel kinda warm and fuzzy. Ohgosh, this sounds damn cheesy. Heh. Oh and Khin, I got your package!! JUST! Hahah. Decided to blog the moment I got your package, after starting on your hideously pink-and-purple splattered letter. Thanks thanks thanks for your package!! It made my day. :)
But anyway. Took a train down to Tampines with mom and Carol to meet my long-lost estranged uncle. I've never never seen him in my entire life, since mom said he'd walked out of her family when she was about my age after having had a major fight with my grandpa. Mom and her brother recently made contact somehow, and today is the result of many emails and phone calls and cautious planning. My uncle and my grandparents haven't seen each other in more than 20 years but he still doesn't want to see them 'cause he's still angry. Met his family. My two cousins who're primary 3 and 4 and veryvery adorable. Meeting them made me sad that I didn't get to know them earlier. 'Cause when I saw how excited they both were to meet mom and my aunt and Carol and I, my heart just literally melted. The little boy skipped around non-stop and the girl sat down and asked me a million and one questions ranging from whether I was big enough to go to KL by myself 'cause she'd thought I was already a very big girl, to why we couldn't stay for dinner and had to leave by 6. I wish I'd known them earlier. It's strange to think that you and your cousin are complete strangers.
Met dad at Ngee Ann after we left Tampines. Had Swenson's for dinner complete with a double scoop of ice-cream topped with butterscotch and hot chocolate fudge. It's the first time in a longlong time since my family's had dinner out together 'cause everyone's so busy these days. Dropped by Giordano after dinner and tried on some stuff. I conclude that I don't look good in a LOT of clothes. Sigh. Kino after shopping. Made a mental wish-list so that I can start saving for books. I've made a resolution to read a lot more or I will just degenerate into some tv-playstation-xbox addicted person with a vocabulary level of minus 10. Speaking of xbox. I've been playing games on Kor's xbox these past few days. I go crazy when I play Tony Hawk. I just rack up insane combos that can rocket up to 40000++ with a single trick owing to the equally insane stats my character has built-up. Thanks to countless spine transfers, grab and flip tricks and endless grinds.
Watched Princess Diaries 2 with Tri yesterday and the prince was gorgeous hot beautiful dreamy whatever. Ohmygod. 'Tis isn't fair! Where's MY prince?? Hmmm. It's 1130pm now. Just half and hour before I turn 17. 17 in books and on tv always seemed like such a grown-up age to be. Like in those books where the 17-year-old girl complete with gorgeous boyfriend and that ooomph-y attitude finds her fairy-tale like story. Hmph I don't feel anything like that. Where's MY fairy-tale?? I can't help but feel that unlike in those books, my fairy-tale isn't ever gonna happen. :( So much for my happy ending.
Lunch with Krystle, Charis and Cheryl then dinner with Tri tomorrow. Oh dear, I need money to fall from the sky soon. It isn't nice to be feeling majorly severely BROKE on your birthday. Grrr. Okay okay, I really shouldn't be complaining though. Today was a happy+sad day, and I'm thankful that there was some happy in my day already. :)
