So... I've been gone from the blog for 2 months now. Felt so lazy since Mum left. Coz there were so much to blog about. Life back in Perth, alone, was too lonely n boring for me to handle. I simply lost motivation to do anything too.
Been nearly 2 weeks that I'm back now. Had an old post typed out half way... nt completed. Yet feel like startin a new post. The flight back was long and boring. Sat beside a huge stranger who was nice enough to bring my luggage up the cabin n down again when we arrived in Sg. I smiled to myself secretly a few times. Some1 may have caught me doing so, but i didnt care. It was that silent joy I was enjoying. The moment of excitement I've been waiting for over the last 1.5 months.
Leaving Perth.
The Western Australia Coastline
I nv noticed that planes have gt such baby containing area b4.
I had a plan for Junqi. Planned for a long time... just for that nite. To surprise him on his bday. He had totally no idea I was making that plan for him. Many times we gt upset with each other over the last 1.5 months, I know he was tryin hard to accomodate to me. His frens lure him out the whole of 13th. Made him busy, n unaware of my disappearance.
Had Japanese food with my Family for dinner. Aft which, I prepared as quick as possible to see him. Brought a cake down with all the sparkle sticks poking out of it. He even thought I was some other girl, thru tt smoke! But it was all good.. so good. =)
The exhausted looking him... the Excitement bursting me
His long lasting Pri Sch Friends.
His actual Bday, is 14th Jan. So I brought him out to get his pressie! I too, has long decided on what I wanted to buy. A Braun Baffel wallet. He picked the design himself. Collected his new specs too... since the old 1 broke. I like how he looked in Specs.
Last Thurs was the very 1st time I met Shirley since my return. It was really nice seeing her. But somehow, this time, it seems alil different. I guess, it seems different for every1. It's been so long since I came back. Things changes. People will tend to drift from each other too...
I was out with Junqi in the day b4 I met Shir for dinner. Went to play with Bebe. She still rems me. Jumping hesterically around my legs.
We had desserts at the TiongBahru market too. And they were the yummiest that I've seen! Fell in love with them immediately. Now, I had to have the desserts everytime I go down to TiongBahru.
The so colourful and yummy desserts.
At his house.
Bebe wanting to kiss him.
Met Shir at Orchard aft.. Didnt know wad to do, so end up we went shopping. Bought a dolly black shoe and a brown longsleeve top. Somehow, I gt influenced by Junqi (he likes brown)... n liking lots of things in brown too.
That nite juz b4 ending the meeting with Shir, she told me she felt that I've grown older. -_-
Like old granny i guess. Coz I talked slower n wadever... I guess I was simply tired tt nite. But Junqi told me, I'm nt as active as b4 too. Wad happened?! Aging??
I rem being the hyper-active, happy-go-lucky person. But somehow.... I'm losing it. I guess, it's the 1.5mths in Perth. I didnt like it.. really didnt. If no1 else is gonna b in Perth... I'm not going to stay there alone too! Peggy & Cal was ard in fact. But how often could we meet? Work timings are different too.
I've been pessimistic too. I need to get back that optimisium. I know I am now... I'm too used to ppl being ard me. I think... in Perth, I'm forced to get serious, b matured. I have to settle everything on my own. Be disciplined n responsible. I know how difficult money comes by... and juz cant spend n club n play like no1's biz. I wan to come hm more at nite... Wan to spend more time with my Fam this time round. Even if we dun make conversations, it's their pressence whic makes the difference.
Mum's home cooked food, Dad reading the papers n carrying his pot of tea ard the hse wherever he's gonna be for the rest of the nite & Sis watching Tv with me while we make random chats when we're alone. It many many of those small lil gestures, many ppl dun notice anymore. But, who else can be like me, who only sees my Fam the most 4mths in a yr.
The nite, while speaking to Sis abt her marriage whic might happen end of next year, I suddenly realised, she's gonna move out of the hse! That really hit me. I suddenly felt really sad... Sis is nt gonna be hm every nite I come hm aft marrying. She says she would still come back often. But it's nt the same anymore. I shld b glad.... but I'll really miss her. Then, I thought abt myself marrying off too. Whic means Mum n Dad will be the only ppl left in this hse! I really dun wan tt. I dun wan them.. to be staying alone.
At least for now, everyday is a happy day. =)
Batam was the next trip I looked forward so much to even while in Perth. But days b4 Me, Junqi, Xiaoyign & Andy went, me n junqi were hesistating alot to go or nt. Coz there were bad feedbacks from ppl, that Batam has gt nth at all. The ferry tix down was $35. Might nt be worth to go aftall. But we did anw. And, I really enjoyed myself. Bought an amt of things too... thou Junqi didnt. Heh.
Boarding the ferry from Sg, habourfront.
Reaching Batam. That's MegaMall!
Walking tt bridge between the custom n MegaMall
Lunch Time. Not too nice.. all bones. But it's cheap.
Fruit Punch
That's J.co donuts. Nt allowed to take photo. So I hid behind Junqi to take. They r really yummy. Costin abt sg$1 each.
Went hm pretty late tt nite... was feeling really tired. Then I realised, there were more donuts at hm! Mum n Dad actually bought some from the donut factory too. So I had a gd 3 days of donuts for breakfast. But there're all so yummy.
Went to Xiaoying's hse to dye hair the next day. Chose a Reddish purple kinda colour while Xy gt a copper red/brown. Didnt turn out as red as I hoped. So I dyed it again days later... with Sis' help. It gt redder... but I still wan it abit more thou. Heck it... waste money.
These days... me n Junqi simply did nth. So we juz slacked ard wherever. Went to swim, cycle, shopping. And hoping nt to waste too much money too. But somehow, I spent alot alrdy. Tt few hundred bucks I brought back, didnt last me a long time. Still have some... but nt much left.
Just on Tues.... Cycling in East Coast! It was such a joy. I cant cycle infact... but a 2 ppl bicycle... Hehehe.
Bedok Jetty.
Junqi says.... this patch of sandcastle used to be much bigger
The beach castle. Open on weekends for families to rent/buy stuff to build sandcastles?
There's a string of blue jelly between our lips.
It's been a really joyous n carefree 2 weeks. I'm so looking forward to CNY now. I've always loved CNY. May nt be as fun as it was when we were all kids. May pass as quickly as many other occasions. But CNY will always be my fav celebration of the year.
I bought nail art thingy from Orchard yest too. 3D stick on kind. Yippy. Cant wait to do it. I love doing nail art too. Going down Chinatown tonite... it opened last Fri. Buying those mochi. Will be going again with Fam sometime next week again.
you make my life perfect-`
