Quality time

After a year of separation, it is truly remarkable to be able to share with my mum the experiences, the joy and the sufferings of Melbourne. I’ll walk to RMIT and tell her, “This is where you spend half of your fortune.” I’ll pass by Max Brenner and tell her, “This is yr daughter’s fav place for chocolate.” You get the idea.

The past week has been a week of shopping, eating and entertaining friends. From fish n chips at Williamstown to coffee at Port Melbourne. From cherry-picking at Silvan to a day of shopping at Footscray.

Eitherway, it’s been a slow and steady life since. We’ll shop in the afternoon and stop for coffee in the evening. Then at night, we’ll have some friends over for dinner to eat till our stomachs burst, followed by wine and cheese ... Ahhhhh~~~ truly I am enjoying the last bits of Melbourne to the fullest................. ^_^

I spoke to dear Franco last Sat.. it was his birthday! Happy birthday again.. Hope u had a blast, celebrating yr birthday on a cruise. How exciting! After so long, it is rather comforting to hear his voice again, I mst admit. Glad tt he’s doin fine in Hong Kong. To think tt I’ll be seeing him in abt 3 weeks together with Richie, Cupcake & Val is even more exciting. A trip tt we’ve planned for almost a year and finally it’s approaching soon..

Met up w Elina, Jun & Steph’s family for dinner last Sun.. it was her 20th birthday! :) Another birthday celebration. Haven’t seen them since my mum arrived. So many things had happened … *big hug to Steph* Lesson learnt: the duration of a r/ship does not determine the depth of it.

I haven’t even step out of Melbourne & I can already feel how some of our friendships had changed. I wonder how some of my friendships with ppl I haven’t seen for a yr will turn out? We’ll see.............................
