A short but great weekend...

...back in Ipoh. we got home early last saturday morning. we went yum cha. as usual we chit-chat over dim sum. yeah...to update on each other...with my cousin back from Dubai. and Len, who's back here for a very special occasion!

the boys...they had a fabulous time at my parents'. many times we were back home, we didnt bother to go over to the playground just across the house cos it's so unkept. but it's different this time around...so lovely with the grass cut short n such perfect weather! Mika had so much fun at the playground! he seems so deprived of being at the playground lately! we havent been to our neighbourhood playground since school started. dont have the time now cos he gets home from school at 3pm n 5pm on two days a week. so, he had a swell time swinging n climbing...at my childhood playground. I had fun too. we all had fun. Mika n I sat on the same old wooden plank see-saw that I sat with my little brother many many years ago. Mika's godma...do u remember? U too...spent a lot of time with me at this playground! good times! good times!

so much has changed, life changes, i have Mika now, my little brother is no more little now but this playground didnt change a bit...the squeaky swings, the colourful concrete blocks, monkey bars, giant web, shaky n rusty see-saw...all the same. agree with me Mika's Godma? am pretty glad that Mika gets to play at the same old playground that gave me so much sweet n bittersweet memories of my growing up years. life is like a candy...some sweet, some bitter n some bittersweet. but those were the worry-free days. i wouldnt hesitate to journey back to these 0h-so lovely times. so carefree. so innocent. so simple.



besides the playground, the boys were cycling n scooting up n down the driveway, kicking football in the garden while I was having a wonderful time with my best buddy...coffee n catching up. plus some boutique hopping too. yeah...we got ourselves some nice stuffs! oh n so nice of her to take me to have my favourite dry curry mee in Canning Garden on sunday morning. i was so hungry. cant wait for my papa to get home with the vegetarian breakfast. she came to my rescue! thanks so much. cheers! and lots of hugs n kisses too from your godson...



the boys adore Len. he never fails to bring smiles to their faces. and there's always candies n chocolates treat from him! we actually went home to celebrate my 2nd sister n Len's engagement. supposedly an engagement dinner for my sis n Len. it's not a formal one...just a close family dinner.

that's why I've said earlier that he's back here for a holiday n to get down on bended knees. we are delighted. we are ecstatic. we are so happy for my sis. she's elated too. they have been in a long distance relationship for almost 3yrs now. but on the other hand it's a very difficult n tough decision for her to make. i mean the year end wedding n the changes it'll bring to her life which she has been so comfortable with. we cant blame her. it's so normal when these things cross one's mind. especially to uproot her life and move to London. the many things to give up here. she's one very independant woman too. she's afraid that she may not blend in when she settles down in London with Len n his parents. she's happy now that they see each other twice a year and go for holidays together. another thing on her mind is my papa's business which she has been running for more that 20years. and my parents especially. but she deserves her own happiness for sure. whatever her mind is thinking now, am sure she has a very heavy heart to let go of everything here and settling down over there. no doubt, she loves Len so much and being with him makes her happy. she knew that he's the right one. just not so ready yet. i know my sis well. i'm sure she'll make the right choice...she's always been. give her time, let her heart tells her. changes are good sometimes!

true love conquers all? yes? no?

but i know its time for me to hop on to bed now...so...goodnite. sweet dreams. have a good n beautiful day tomorrow. nitey nite...
