Home is where the heart is

My 10 day break back home was fulfilling to say the least.

Chinese New year...

I loved meeting up with my cousins, aunties and uncles, grandmas, my whole family during Chinese New year. I feel very blessed, with a wonderful bunch of cousins whom I really treasure and love so much. All these years of growing up together, watching Michelle and Gene the babies of the group grow up to become young teens... Family will always be there :) My aunts are so super concerned and caring, and my ahyee even wants to skype with me often! haha. My grandmas are so cute and lovely and popo cooks so well, CNY is never complete without her yam cake and "zai". I am very much of a family person, mostly because there's just so much love in my whole extended family.I cant describe how absolutely endearing and wonderful my parents are... All I can say is that, when I become a parent next time, I'll definitely teach and treat my children the way they have treated me. I'm so excited that they're coming in 4 weeks!!!

Of course, no forgetting my dad's side of the family, whome I've really grown sososo much closer to these past 2 years or so. Jamie and Marcus are ever so cute and pretty and handsome! Mei-jie is almost 3 months pregnant, and there'll be a new addition to the family by next new year! yay :) Love my 2 aunts so much as well..They really care and so easy and fun to talk to.

It has been a fulfilling new year, especially with so much bakkwa, pineapple tarts, yummy goodies every single day.

Glenda and I :)

My lovely Jamie...

Indians for the night! Just for cheryl's 21st bash! :)

-The End-

Disney Magic

Disneyland is magical.

Fantastic day, spectacular fireworks at night. I absolutely loved every single moment spent there. Truly in love with "A whole new world" now =) I think everyone has to visit disneyland at least once in a lifetime. The S$55 entrance fee was worth every cent i must add.


In the super cool and pretty disney train that takes us from the mtr to disneyland's doorstep.

Mickey mouse wannabes!

The magical castle in the day.

Dumbo :P

Before the awesome 4D adventure! Woohoo...

Checkout Tarzan's (*Thanks to Kat*) tree house behind me! On the river adventure! It was cool...

haha. Real crocs? Take a guess.

Space Mountain

haha. the cheapo way of remembering the ride.

Winnie the pooh adventure ride in a Hunny pot!!! CUTE!

The Beauty and the Beast restaurant

haha. we queued about 20 min just to take this picture with Chip and Dale!

The Disney Parade! It was so lively, fun and a must see!

Us at dinner

As night fell. Along the Main Street.

On board one of my personal favs, the carousel :)

Inside the Crystal Disney Shop. Nice eh.

Mickey mouse Cheesecakes!! haha, we didnt get any though.

Main Street at night. It was beautiful.

Imagine watching beautiful fireworks above the magical castle, with "A whole new world" in the background. It was enchanting, and romantic to say the least =)

This marked the end of Eudora's trip here to hongkong. And i'm really glad we got to go to Disneyland together! haha. I only had an average of 3 hours of sleep each night for the past few days. Back to normalcy now with 2 midterms to study for!

I find that the busyness here with so many going-ons is kinda preventing me from missing home as much. Last night I dreamt I was home, and I woke up feeling quite homesick. Smsed my parents immediately. haha. and then the feeling was sorta gone once the day started.

2 days ago, one of our friends, Emma from Australia, left to go back to Camden. She was only here for a summer term, 8 weeks. It was so sad seeing the first of many goodbyes to come. Emma's one of the few people without airs, and she's so friendly, easy to talk to! All of us made somewhat a promise, to meet up again after some years, maybe in hongkong back here at city u. But things will never be the same again here once we leave in May, the people, the life etc. It's sad thinking about it. For now, I'll treasure my remaining time here, every single bit of it. I really thank God for everything.

Sang this at church today,

"Over the mountains and the seas, Your river runs with love for me..." :)

I better go back to studying for my finance and korean midterms. That's all for now.

little bits of my first week back here...

Feb 25 - 28.

Feb 27...

What an international bunch - 2 Singaporeans, 3 Swedish, 1 Hongkonger, 1/2 an Indonesian (haha)

Loved having you here dora!

Us being spastic. hahaha! I won and Dora lost.

The hardcore gambler look.

With the horse at the Happy Valley Jockey Club. I was the tour guide that night.

My dearest Ame brought back pandan cake and pineapple tarts all the way for our local buddies...

It was so enjoyable watching them marvel at the bright green pandan cake, haha, i guess this is part of cultural exchange huh.

Ame with her homemade cookies, and yummy pandan cake! haha, we really didnt know pandan cake was something special and found in Singapore only!

The little party at level 6 common room.

Meeting Kin, Yeohan ( = Johann *Thanks to dearest Ame for the kind correction haha!* ) and Jenny from Sweden...

When we first got back and decided we needed to do some serious spring cleaning :S

I didnt know why the vacuum cleaner stick broke.

Just an idea of the amount of dust and hair accumulated in our room over one month.

It was a great feeling sucking up the dirt and dust really!:)

Ame with her 30 kg luggage.

We struggled up the slopes by ourselves, dragging and carrying along a grand total of 60kg worth of luggage!!! haha, girl power really!
