this is gonna be a week with friends heading out of singapore in little hoards. first off: roujun, qinlei and lixuan. today: shiwei. thursday: ryan (my little adopted son haha..)

funny how everyone's leaving out of town over this short week. hey you guys, take care of urselves k! shiwei, so sorry man. suye didn't tell us if she was going so i dind't go. anyway, spare you of the teary moments. hee hee you little hum bao.

also had dinner with our family friend's whole family who came for holiday frm mauritius. it was fun playing with the kids even though most of the time i had no idea what the kids were telling me. it's all in francoise!!! how to understand? guess my love for french came when i met them since i was a kid, and when i went to visit em in mauritius like ages ago. boy it's got beaches that take your breath away. but ryan's so cute, me made me carry him (a tiny 4-yr old kid) from the restaurant in suntec to his hotel in conrad. hahha.. don't mind carrying him. he's so light for a boy anyway. and tina (who's a little bigger so i can't carry him) speaks all so fluently. can tell she speaks a lot even though it's all so french. but i love her too cuz we're both the same- the only girl admist all male cousins. hahha... the french greeting is so warm and friendly. you've gotta hav cheek touching cheek (altho male vs male greet with a handshake) and it's so awesome when the kids greet you. hahha esp when ryan and tina lavishes you with a bear's hug and super wet kisses coupled with a wide smile and giggles. wait till they day they learn chinese (cuz they're chi) and firm up their english, we'll just be friends who look at fishes (the thing they saw at the restaurant. sheesh)
