10:28 PM

still in the midst of CNY...
and that just equates to more festive eating which is putting added stress on my tummy.
trying to lose weight but yet at the same time going round visiting and having family gatherings.
the festive season is not helping at all.
this yr's CNY went by with me feeling pretty mundane about it.
no hype. no excitement. no special feelings.
i wasnt even in the festive mood of celebration.
interestingly. i loved the fact that it was a good time for family reunions and gatherings where relationships are strengthened and all of us are just taking the time to spend time together as we prepare for yet another busy year ahead.
this once-in-a-year affair brings ppl together for catchups and updates on the year gone by.
its all good. ive met up with the relatives and cousins.
more gatherings to come this weekend. it being the last weekend of the CNY season.
been 'gambling' quite a bit. rounds of mahjong and card games as our entertainment.
wasnt a good one for me though. i've been on a losing streak except for a one off win at the mahjong table w the folks.
well.. its all in the name of fun. im cool w it.

1 more week till its back to melb for me.
not looking forward to the crazy hot summer weather awaiting me.
the heat is terrible and has been at its worst the past week.
doesnt sound good that Connex had to stop train services for 2 days. imagine the kind of disruptions and inconvenience it has caused. its madness.
to hear that ppl take 3 hrs to get home from City to Caulfield when the usual trip takes a mere 30 mins was insane.
i couldnt imagine spending my summer hols like that.
i pray that the situation will get better as i reach melb next sunday.
hope the heat wave is gone and summer aint that bad anymore.
God, bless Australia!
this 2 weeks ive been meeting up friends and just spending time with family.
the meetups have been great and i really thank God for these wonderful friendships :)

this thurs will be interesting.. meeting up frds whom i havent caught up w since sec sch.
that's like 6 yrs ago to actually think about it. we've kinda lost contact in between.
other than getting updates from networking sites like the good ol' friendster of the ever addictive facebook.
oh wells. im kinda looking fwd to see how much we've all changed over these years.
ytd hui n i had dinner w fel&mark. was a good dinner meetup at fish&co.
its funny how we've always got news abt each other thru fel but yet never really hung out.
its been 4 years since. and its like the first dinner we had. Lol.
but it was all good. no awkward silences nothing weird.
looking fwd to more meetups, yup fel?

so the aunt left this morning. mum n i saw her off at the airport.
gonna miss her. wont be seeing her till next yr i reckon. =(
spending time w her over the past couple of weeks has been good.
having her as my roommate, going for the tree top walk tgt and just going out has been a great bonding session for me.
i love the family. amidst all the petty arguments; countless miscommunication and all the debates.
after a night's sleep.. all is well. its family afterall. we dont get to choose.

till then!
