Galleria

juz woke up from my quiet saturday afternoon nap. *yawnz.. guess everyone does get a lil sleepy on the weekends after lunch. *heez..

had to get up at 0715 (when we had to get up at 0700!) for breakfast bcoz joel had piano lessons at downtown today. seems like everyone kinda overslpt and we left house later than usual. reached auntie cerina's (joel's piano teacher) place at 0850. this was my second time here. but i didnt go in the first time round.

the housing area they lived in resembled one of the motels our family stayed during our NZ trip. 2 storeys long-ish buildings built wif red bricks. aniwae the whole family seemed very pleased to see me. uncle joseph (auntie cerina's husband) asked me a question bout my church and where it was located. told him it was singapore. he asked where. so i said wat do you mean where? he said where was it located? i said south-east asia. then my aunt jac started to say i blur haven wake up. turned out that he was asking where was it located in singapore. i was like duhz! how did i noe that they were singaporeans? in my school i have to deal wif a lot of "where's singapore?" or "wats singapore?" lorz. it's totally a case of bad questioning skills. that created a big joke all right and everyone had a good laugh (at who knows..) *zzz..

they have 3 sons and 1 daughter. their 2 sons are still studying in other parts of us while their daughter had already graduated from michigan university and is currently working in md anderson. we chatted awhile before uncle joseph and uncle howe yong joined us. i dunno. but i told aunt jac that uncle joseph doesnt give me a very good feeling. feel that he is a deep person. maybe i'm too sensitive *lol.. but you guys know i'm seldom wrong in analysing pple so ... chatted bout a lot of me. prospects in us vs. spore, living standards, austin, sa, houston etc. seriously, i told them i found sa a boring place. realli quiet, peaceful but no forms of entertainment and shopping centres etc. we left after joel was done. i found out later from aunt jac that their daughter had never talked to them despite them being over so many times. so, they were very surprised when they see her chatting wif me. i mean cant help it rite? you guys know wat i mean hor? pple are naturally attracted to good-looking people wat. *lol.. then again, it mite be the generation gap.

headed to galleria since my aunt jac need not do any grocery shopping at chinatown. it is HUGE! to give you guys in singapore a better idea. i wld say it's at least twice as large as vivocity. mayb even thrice bcoz there were a few buildings and we were only in one of them. this is supposed to be the equivalent of our paragon. and the number of shops around is simply appalling. there were the tai-tai brands like gucci, coach, lv and burberry. there were also kiddy-shops like build-a-bear and walt disney shop. numerous ladies fashion stores like bebe and victoria's secret. they even had a ice skating rink! i bought an ax top! i think this is the first piece of clothing i've bought here. it is a hooded long sleeve sweater which is black and blue. which looked good on me (as always) *lol.. we walked around for bout 2 hrs, had lunch before heading home bcoz joel had english tuition at 2.

i noe you guys have been deprived of my nice photos so here are the pics i took while walking around galleria.
