So since the last post about the yummylicious red bean buns, lots have happened.
Firstly, I had a short but sweet 10 days trip to Japan! Oh my oh my, things do change over the years. The last I remember living in our house in Japan was when I was a wee little 10 years old, just before moving over to Singapore - that's 14 years! Everything looked so big and spacious back then, but now roads are so narrow, houses are small and everything is so crammed. Maybe because I'm comparing with Adelaide where houses are big and even the city is pretty spacious. My 'new' room (because the house was renovated last year) looked so empty, no more barbie dolls and soft toys...but hah, I did refill the room in the end with all the things I bought and accumulated over the 10 days trip! I was more like a tourist back there. Everywhere I went, my parents had to make sure I knew how to get on the right train and find my way home safely. Mum passed me her mobile phone and always made me call her when I reach the train station near home. Sometimes she drew me a map so I knew which shop to go to. Other times both of them had to follow me to go to shopping mall and watch me shop because I couldn't come home without them! Felt like I suddenly became a princess! :P
I also went to visit my relatives that I hadn't seen in eons. My little baby cousin that I used to babysit is now in year 5, my other cousins who were in primary school are now teenagers, and my grandma who used to be heaps healthy now has pacemaker inserted. How time flies and everyone is getting older. But everyone told me that I still look exactly the same as before, which I am not sure whether it's a good thing or a bad thing.
We went to eat lots of yummy Japanese food. I think I can never be satisfied with the Japanese restaurants in Australia anymore! REAL sushi are heaps nicer!
The trip was also a good time for me to spend some quality time with my parents that I hadn't done in years. Like 3 of us going grocery shopping together, eating every meal together, and my dad asking me about me getting married! The only person missing was my bro, who is in Canada. When are you going to come and visit me?
Secondly, 1st of June marked Moses and I's 2 year anniversary! We (I decided and Moses agreed!) to take some cool photos to mark the 2 years of our journey together. So here are some of them:
Thirdly, it was my birthday on 25th June. Moses took me to Guylian chocolate cafe in Sydney which was absolutely yummylicious. We had a degustation menu!
Fourthly, Joshua and Grace (Moses' 2nd bro) got married on 27th Jun! The reception was held at Peppers Convent at Hunter Valley in NSW. It was a small garden wedding and everything was so pretty. It was my first wedding to attend (since my kindergarten years), and oh how I dream to wear that white wedding dress! Since the wedding I've been searching on the web for pretty dresses and wedding reception sites. What do you guys think about having a reception in Japan? Haha. Moses thinks I'm crazy thinking about all these stuff already while all he has in mind is passing 5th year of medical school.
And last but not least, Moses is an uncle now! Caleb (moses's First bro) and Serene's baby girl was just born yesterday! Congratulations :D And THAT got me thinking about cute baby names for my future son/daughter haha! And again Moses thinks I'm crazy.
So that concludes the last 2 months of my life in a nutshell.
