To see, to hear, to touch, to taste, to feel, to laugh, to love.

It’s nice to be home, isn’t it? We left a cold rainy Dunedin last Tuesday morning. I wasn’t prepared to brace the hot Auckland weather. Ever feel as though wearing shorts and a t-shirt was just still not cooling enough? But going stark bullocks would just end up with a charge for lewd misconduct! Just cant win, can i? Hmm..
We transit at Brisbane airport for about an hour. It was new, seeing icons of kangaroos and koalas instead of the kiwi and paua shells. I was hoping to get a taste of the Australian accent but no. Is it really as distinct as the media and kiwis make it out to be? I wonder…
Brunei is a tranquil country. Seria sure is! I like the roads. =) Stayed with Ruth’s family for 2 nights. Very pleasant. They have the most interesting roundabouts in Brunei. From steel birds to teapots! They’ve also got minute tiny roundabouts which I found amazing. People still adhered to the traffic rule and maneuvered around the little circles. If it was Sibu, those circles would cease exist to the human eye. They would be… *waves hand like a magician in the air* …invisible!
8 hours in a bus. From Miri to Mukah. 8 hours. It’s going to take a bit of convincing for me to embark on another 8 hours on a bus. The seats were comfy, though. =) They ran out of luggage space in the boot compartment, and I have a lovely tan now because there were no curtains. :P Blessed to be traveling in pairs. Chia and I found ways (you don’t want to know) to amuse ourselves on the bus. That was pretty cool. Hehe. After all, two’s company.
Dad’s out, Mum’s arranging the washing. My sister’s playing the guitar, Paul’s reading a book and Daniel’s finishing up some Science homework. It’s nice to be home, isn’t it?
Woohoo… capped!
Sprawled on Ruth’s bed. :P
My little niece, Chloe.
In her 5 years in Dunedin, my sister has never... YES NEVER...been up Signal Hill. I reckon it's about time, dont you agree?
It has just suddenly dawned on me that i only have 3 more days in Dunedin with my sister. I dont know when she will come again, or when i will have her around after leaving Mukah in February. Gosh, we havent said goodbye yet and i'm already missing her...
We've been places since my family's arrived in Dunedin. Help Dad navigate around here and found out that i have a bad tendency to say "Right instead of Left" and vice versa. i dont know why. Maybe my brain isnt wired correctly.. i'd read the map, register left, point left, but out of my mouth, would come "Right". So to buy me a little more time, i'd say "Turn to your ...." It's amazing how much time allowance you can have to double check mentally before saying something from just those two words. To your. I'm not going to bore you with my mundane what-i-did-today's. I'll let the pictures speak for themselves.. again.

In her youth, Grandma always loved feeding ducks and chickens. She still does..

Best sleeping buddies. Paul used to kick and Daniel does somersaults. I guess they've outgrown them aye?

My family's here! Woohoo.. they're actually here!! In Dunedin! I've waited ages for this day. Praise God for the fantastic weather today. So yups, not been the most diligent in terms of updating my blog. I will soon..
