Ee Ee and grandparents came to stay over, hence we went out lots. Seriously, we went grocery shopping at BoxHill, Chaddie, Caribbean Market and Glen practically 6 days in a row because we kept forgetting to buy, ran out, wanted to eat/cook something. The house was always filled and busy. I liked it. But then there were days when I started getting really edgy. Perhaps I was spending too much family time. I know, terrible.. I got snappy and mean. lol. Then there were happyhappyhappy talky days. And days where I teared up or burst out in heated attack over nothing. It's weird.
Perks of visiting family? (other than their lovely company of course)
1. HOT AIR BALLOONING!
It was amazing, incredible, wonderful. We woke up at 3am, started setting up the balloon before the crack of dawn. The balloon was huge. Just as the sky started lighting up, we rose higher and higher. It felt surreal, as if I was in some sort of fairytale. The idea of being in a basket lifted by a giant balloon is just so fantastical. I loved how everything grew smaller. It's different from watching things decrease in size on a plane. Here, I felt like I could reach over the basket and touch the little houses, moving miniature horses, pinky-sized trees. Then the sun rose and it was gorgeous, flaming orange. The clouds were super pretty too, as always. The start of the day was topped with the perfect icing of a buffet breakfast. Hee.
2. Jogging
Only twice with Ee Ee. It was good though, that she convinced me to do some form of physical exercise. It felt good too. In spite of the aching muscles the day after. Plus she taught me some boxing. :)
3. Dinner at Spice Temple. Lunch at Kobe Jones.
Yummyyummyyummy food. :)
4. Conversations. Beaches. Words of wisdom/advice from the older generation. Bahhaa.
If I do nothing else for what's left of these holidays (not long to go D:), I'd still consider them well spent.
