Ok, today I'll try not to be so dreary and depressing.

Let's see... oh yeah. Last night, my relatives from England came over to stay. So my princess chambers was converted into a family room with baby diapers and muslin and milk and nappy bags all over the place. I didn't have a very good sleep in my parents' bedroom as I was freezing in the air-con cold (to think I just came back from Alaska!), trying to cuddle myself as much as I could to generate whatever warm that was possible with the pancake-thin blanket sheet.

Anyway, woke up to the sound of baby cries and went downstairs for breakfast (Nestum - the only soft food for my still sore jaw). Ok, I'll fastforward to the 'fulfilling' parts of the day and skip all the complaints..

1. Practiced my Piano =) well, scales at least.
   
2. Killed a few more ticks. We're winning the battle!
3. Thouroghly cleaned my room with Kleenex glass cleaner, Wood Pledge; Vacuumed with Ajex (oookaaay.. I feel like I should be paid for advertising) and also my Dad's study room. Hehe, how kind of me yeah? But, kinda gave up when it came to the Master Bedroom. Shall do that tmr.
4. Cooked my own porridge with leftover green chicken curry, freshly-cut cabbage as well as eggs. Weird combination, huh? Well, I had to experiment with whatever there was at home that I could actually chew...
   
5. Started on my Resume. Actually, already started 2 days back but you know me, never satisfied; always meticulous when it comes to details. I'm such a nitpicker. At my own work, so don't worry.
   

So that's where the personal fulfilment kind of got ground to a halt when my Mum called to say she won't be coming home unless I wanted to accompany her to her aunty's place. Being the big baby that I am, I had to see my mama's face after the whole day of staring at the 4 walls of my house (actually, there should be more than 4... I'll count them 1 day and let you know). So off we went to Toa Payoh where I met my relatives from London, again.

Oh, I got a taste of being an aunt when I had to bring 4-year old David to the loo. He didn't want to enter the Male toilet by himself even after a man and another boy went in. So I had to bring him to the ladies and he actually made me like enter the cubicle with him and help him with his pants. Which is... I don't know whether I should be weirded out. Honestly though, it felt like a foreshadow of what my life as an Auntie would be in 6 months time. And, it felt quite natural, as if the motherly instinct was awakened. Sometimes I feel like a bigger sister; sometimes like a mother; sometimes like a friend. I guess that's what being an aunt is all about. =)
