JB Weekend (:

I'm blogging from Nyein's place in JB now.. It's technically her in-laws' place but for convenience's sake I may address them in this post without the "-in-law". (:

I had such an awesome time today. I totally expected to spend these 2 days rotting away at her place coz her hubby wouldn't be around this weekend to drive us around. I was really ok with that. (: I needed to getaway from SG for awhile and i wanted to see her baby!

I've only seen him a couple of times since he was born 2 years ago. At the hospital, he was sucha a wee itty bitty thing. Nyein asked me to carry him but I was SO afraid I would drop him or something dire would happen. =X I did play a little with him tho and his tiny little hand grabbed one of my fingers hahah. then I think i probably saw him two times when he was still a few months old. He couldn't walk, couldn't do anything for himself.. And he wasn't at that stage where we could successfully interact with one another. I was a at total loss at how to interact with him. This one time, Nyein just placed him on my lap and I didn't even dare breathe to hard for fear of jostling him and making him cry. The last time I saw him again was last year when he was 1 year plus. Nyein brought him to Queens to play at the swimming pool. He was progressing from that ugly baby stage (sorry nyein!) to that cute little boy stage.. And he was so scared of me. -heartbreak-

Now he's a vivacious little boy who is naturally curious about everything and so he's not too afraid of me. On top of that, he understands simple words and gestures and it was really a total pleasure to finally 'meet' this little boy. (:

Anyway, I was talking about my day here.

After driving in from Msia last night, I got treated to a BIG TUB of durian hahah. I WAS SUPER HAPPY!! heehee.. her FIL works as a sinseh and the durain was kind of a form of payment to him.. But since he and ah-ma are diabetics, Nyein's SIL and BIL kept telling me to finish up the durain, don't leave any for them to eat.. So naturally, I obliged. ;)

Before going to sleep, Nyein and I were looking at some old pictures from back in JC. Remisicing about the school, and the things we used to do. When she left for Myanmar after JC, Fahreen and I had a like a farewell celebration for her and sent her off with a card and balloon haha.

This morning I got awoken by baby zhaoxiong and Nyein's MIL. there's this like old-school bed-like thing for babies, the ones with the spring and bounces up and down to lull them to sleep, in Nyein's room. So her MIL brought the baby in to rock him to sleep. I couldn't really fall asleep after that.. that was around 9.30am this morning. It's probably the earliest I've ever woken up voluntarily on a Saturday after I started work.

There was some yummy rice for breakfast already cooked by her MIL, who came down shortly with zx. I guess it was too early for zx's nap. =P

Initially he was super shy, didn't really wanna look at me in the eye, but after awhile he got really curious lol. He was drinking some water with a spoon and was like trying to feed water to Nyein. And then Nyein told him to feed me, which he did and I thought that was really really sweet hahah. (he's so totally at the cute little boy stage now.. =D)

So all morning and afternoon, I spend most of my time playing with him, following him around the house and taking pictures of him.. He's really too cute. He was mesmerised by my bling bling earring, and even called it a crystal. After that I took it out to show him, and he tried to put it back on for me.. So Awww right?!! He eventually succeeded, smart boy. ;)

That wasn't the only highlight of my day. We went to one shopping mall - Sutera Mall, and Nyein and I walked with him around the shops while her relatives went grocery shopping. As usual, the things he did were super cute. He let me carry him around and kept holding my hand every time i opened my hand in front of him.. SO CUTE RIGHT?!? ahhh i like kids at this age.

I totally digressed just talking about baby zx this whole post hahah. But I will miss this kiddo after leaving tmr. He's just too cute. ;)

I got to see a pasar malam that totally doesn't look like any pasar malam in Singapore. Her FIL said that it's like the pasar malam of the 1960s. Super old school, not so clean or hygenic, but also very very cheap! (: Too bad I was super full or I would have tried some of the food.. the smell was mouth watering!

They also brought me to this market that's like indoor with no aircon kind.. called bestmart. I really wanted to look around, but I was actually quite tired by then. They brought me there to buy this Fuyong Bao. It's like those fried patries thing with the charsiew filling in them. SO.GOOD. omg i really regret not buying more..

We came home to awesome dinner cooked by her SIL, and I am a very happy person today yay.

Super tired, but we still have things planned for the night yay. 1) watch movie. 2) eat durian. 3) put on facial masks!

Totally enjoyed myself today. (: Gonna fall asleep with a stupid smile on my face.
