Hello!
New year was uneventful. Great to catch up with uncles & aunties though, it was quite a short visit.
Started the first day at Grandma's house, we stayed there for really long..hanged around, just chit-chatted and ate lots of stuff. CNY snacks, pumpkin cake..etc. Headed over to Wee Sian's new house after that (He lives in novena now, haha. looks like more and more people are living close to my family now..grandma lives around the corner, uncle bong loo lives right over at chancery lane!) Chatted with the family a bit, looked around and WOW he has an amazing aquarium man! He's got a squad of golden suckers (some new breed of fish), guppies..prawns, shrimp..snails, the lot.
I was talking to mum about it and i found that almost 7 years ago, we bought for wee sian's kids fish as presents! and they grew and grew and grew until there were ALOT, so he started an aquarium! nice to know that our presents grow after time..i almost cant believe that a single goldfish sparked off a family's interest in sea-creatures so intensely.
Oh well, the says goes..a butterfly flaps its wings here..but causes a tornado on the other side of the world. repurcussions..period!
Spent the end of the day at Ah Kim and Uncle Bong Lin's house..we talked damn long, from about 9pm-1am about alot of shit..ACS, Church..just alot of things man, i couldnt believe time flew by so fast!
Second day, we went over to my father's dad's hse..
had a long chat with him, havent seen him for long. He's grown older..but hey! he's still him, and my his english is still awesome. Talked to him about his past jobs..how it was like in the 1960s. he showed us some shit he used to do when he was young..all his old passports, documents and picturea and WOW i was impressed!
My grandad used to work in the docks..but he rose to be the captain of his own ship! a trader..and he travelled many places - london, indonesia, china..SEA. pretty cool to know that on one side, your grandfather's a captian trader, and on the other side your grandfather's singapore's coffee powder pioneer. : P
Spent the rest of our time at auntie's house..went home after that and i slept like a big fat pig.
well, school's been quite rushed. cant get myself to settle down and start working! been hanging out with my issues people..marcus auntie ju shine bernice..and others.
but yea. still cant get used to the rushness. and her! goooodness i tell you, i think that i've gotta stop being so lovesick..a few years ago, i really was conviced that bgr was a waste of time..and here i am in love with some chick?! these days i cant even sit down and study..or sleep well.
eeyer. stop billy stop. >_<
OKAY, its time to really settle down to do work..this blog post was actually done out of desperation :P i couldnt sleep or get myself to do work...waaaaaaah.
