Everyday Things on Mid Autumn Festival

Filed under: Random thoughts, Travels, Deliberating — Xiao at 5:40 pm on Tuesday, September 25, 2007

It's mid-autumn festival today! And I did not have mooncakes, but what I had was chese fondue moitie moitie. :) *Mmm* I obviously bought too much cheese though, there were five of us and I had bought a portion for four. But I found myself eating alone towards the end, and there was still half a pot full of cheese. Ok, didn't factor in the asian diet!

Went around Little India today with JGL, for the first time in my life! It is almost embarassing to say that I was brought up as a Singaporean, went to government schools all my life. I suddenly feel I am quite uneducated about my own country! What struck me most was that despite mildly racist comments I have been hearing from my (extended) family all my life, it surely didn't make me feel that way today at Little India. We were more than welcome. 

I shall blog about it another time, after MBTI and Chinatown. Things have just been too busy recently and I am facing a deadline for this friday. Yes, another commitment. And I've been scouring touristy places for postcards to send, but haven't found any particularly interesting. Perhaps some of Jacq's photos would do… hehehehe! 

Been chatting with my mom again tonight on the car, discussing relationships. I'm grateful that these past few months of my life have been peaceful but not bland. I want this feeling to carry on. But of course, I had my fair share of heart-breaking moments almost a year ago now. It takes a long time for the soul to recover from such ill-treatment. All three of us in this house are at different phases in how we deal with relationships, and of course our ideals are different too. It is good to know that I have finally reached the end in my search for the answer as to what constitutes a healthy relationship & what my ideal partner should be like. Needless to say, it goes beyond 'blond-haired, glasses'… :D

Not sure that going beyond ‘blond-haired, glasses’ is going very far, but that’s just my private opinon ;). Glad you’re doing well though :).

yunz, how’s your holiday? Just wanna tell you that I miss you a lot, really, especially today, suddenly felt really strange that you’re not there in the morning drinking coffee and having bread… with your black gown and reading BBC news… miss the summer we spent together in this place… now Kamil took over your room and everything suddenly changed, of course I’m very very glad that he is finally here so at least the lights are on when I come home… KT still lives a funny lifestyle, we’re all very fond of her… and love the fact that she only eats certain things.. Romain lettice, tomatos, Jams, banana and a lot of coffee but nothing else…. she is reall sweet and we appreciate her effort in doing house and kitchen duty very promtly and professionally! We looked at some of our house trip photos kamil took in JApan, and it was hilarious! I especially like one of yours and now I miss you really a lot…. Well, we’ll see each other very soon, enjoy the rest of your holiday in Singapore… ;-)
