Reunion dinner was not as horrible as I thought it would be. With the exception that it was in SENGKANG, everything else went quite well. The food was really yummy and the entertainment (read: relatives) wasn't too bad either. Well, now I know what Sengkang looks like. And I have to say that the new HDB flats are looking pret-ty swanky.

I love my nephew, Ethan. He is the most gorgeous little darling in the clan. BUT he is heavy. At present, he is 12 kg (he's 1 year old). When I was in Primary 1, I was 18 kg! Somehow, whenever I carry him, he seems to slip down bit by bit. I'm convinced I didn't position him properly when I first picked him up but everyone else seems to think I don't have the strength required to carry him. Which bugs me because that's not true. But he really is so gorgeous. I shall endeavour to get a photo of him to post here for the world to see.

Tomorrow. The Dreaded Day. Today, actually. Thinking about the noise I can expect gives me a headache. But I get to see Ethan again!! I'm his number one fan!! I'm also really looking forward to the red packets because that means I'll have more money to put in the bank to save. I really want to save money now. So I can be independent. And have money for the future. I've been thinking long-term lately. For a while, actually. I need to start saving if I'm going to go into the next few stages of my life. The stages which will require a lot of money... No more splurging on myself now. I'll need a good excuse to splurge. It's really good timing because I know Cheryl's trying to save money too so she can go to Japan. Good good, we won't tempt each other.

*Note to Cheryl: I still do want to go get margaritas and calamari. One last time before I start this saving thing proper. Yum yum... I miss Tango's...

Well that's about all I have to rant about today. 4 more days to my new life as a working adult. Eeek. What am I doing? Am I even doing the right thing? I'm getting cold feet. Do I really want to be working now? I suppose it's the responsible thing to do but should I be pursuing my other dreams instead? Do the things I won't get a chance to when I start work? I'm nervous about starting work lah. It's too much like the first day of school - have I got my shoes, is my uniform pressed, did I bring the relevant forms, have I gone for my medical, is my hair neat? If I haven't figured out by Monday how to bun my hair without looking like a hag, I am going straight to the hairdresser's to get them to chop it off. I'm not sentimental about my hair. It'll grow back.

Ok, now I've really finished ranting. Have a great CNY everyone! Even if you're not Chinese :)
