2008; Reunion Dinner!

I got into a panic-attack when Dad called me up halfway while I was snacking at McDonalds and told me that dinner (which was 'spose to be at 8pm) has been shifted forward to 7.30 and they'd be leaving the house by 6.45pm because Dad wanted to beat the jam.

I looked at Raiden's watch; already 5.45pm -_-" and I have yet to bathe or change (who wants to attend a dinner without a quick shower first?!)

Somehow or rather, I managed to reach home at 6.15pm. Thank goodness I live near school. Thank goodness! But when I grabbed my towel and charged towards the bathroom, the door was locked and the sis was inside doing god-knows-what! So I had to wait... and wait.... and wait...

So yup, we left the house when it was close to 7 and we were caught in the jam for approximately half an hour. Dinner was at OCBC centre at Shenton Way, and as always, Dad was making a huge fuss about inconsiderate drivers/Singapore being "too small"/not being able to locate the correct building etc.

My family was the latest to arrive, hence I had to sit at a separate table from them.

Sat with my twin-cousins; the ones who're leaving for Melbourne on CNY. They're gonna be qualified Speech Therapists when they return in 4 years' time!!!

Seems like most of my cousins on my Dad's side are into Healthcare... Doctors, Nurse (me!), Speech Therapists... gotta psycho my sis to become one of us!

AND AND AND!!! Phoebe, you know my twin-cousins!!! They're also MOH scholars!!!

One day, I wanna leave the country too. I do love Singapore, but I've been living here for 2 decades and I kinda need a change... get away from certain things for awhile. I don't know about some of you, but I need breathing space and a place for me to start anew. It's getting really suffocating over here; with my past (unpleasant events) clinging onto me like a stubborn lover.

I digressed ALOT, didn't I?!

My nephews have started walking!! Euan's able to manage on his own whereas little Aden is still a little wobbly and needs supervision. OMG, they're so adorable!!!

I wasn't able to carry Euan because he only lets his parents, grandparents and great grandma bring him around. Aden, on the other hand, was super CUTE and I couldn't resist brushing my fingers against his chubby cheeks!!! Seb and Sherman weren't around last night... Bah! Favourite nephew, Seb, not present... NO FUN!

Seb = 13
Sherman = 9
Euan = 2
Aden = 1

They're growing up so quickly! The time I used to carry Seb about when he was still a toddler doesn't seem very far. Aden came into the world last February so he's turning one real soon.

Cindy, Janice, Eunice; continue giving birth please!!! Your sons are super lovable lah!

Excuse the sudden departure of the blogger, but I gotta study now.
