A mini vacation

The weekend before last, my family and I, together with my aunt and her family left for a mini-vacation at Resorts World Sentosa. (I’m so used to having vacations, how am I going to get used to work!) My aunt is really cute. She tried her best to make it up for kids and herself by doing something like buying a tin of popcorn that costs S$49 because her wish is to go for a family vacation. (the kids are still young but I think they will probably fulfill her wish end of this year)

Although there were moments when I was really bored, it was great to hmm, go drinking at an Irish pub with my mom and aunts and uncle and hear the adult talk.  (;  Of course I love playing with the kids. Those little rascals.

The next day, some of my friends joined me and we had so much being silly and “touristy”. I love this being-a-tourist-in-your-own-country feeling sometimes. It makes me feel slightly in awe of Singapore and of our fortune to be living here.  (Singaporeans, stop complaining!)

We also woke up to an interview of very lovely Katy Perry on the morning show. I was never a great fan of her but that morning, I just fell in love with her whole get-up and her effortless charm that is sprinkled with a bit of girlish mischief . oh and her bright, round, sparkling eyes. I love eyes that sparkle.  (:

Look at the headband-like braid she had. I am going to try to do that to my hair when it is long enough. I have always wanted to do it but my hands aren’t exactly made for tying things or hair. They are just not nimble enough. Just yesterday, I decided to tinkle some notes on my beloved electone that had turned a little nuts after not being played for a long time. I could still play! oh my. I feel a little sheepish about the fact that my brother who had no official training in music has superseded me in terms of his music knowledge. I mean all the terms he was using… I never really understood. I listened, I felt and I played.  I need to pay more attention to theory and techniques.  My brother practises his guitar almost everyday without fail.  I’m impressed. Maybe he can play the guitar and I can croon. Brother and Sister team. (:
