iDid, iHeard, iAppreciate, iFit, iChange and iWonder

I did what most people would do when they leave the country and return after a few years..I caught up with Grade 10 ( Sec 4 ) classmates. Thinking back, it makes me feel sooo old... we graduated from secondary 7 years ago ! It was cool to finally get to see Victoria again, she is now a proud mother of a baby girl. ( i blogged about it a few weeks back ) Finally, I have a friend to ask and clarify all the myths I heard, all about giving-birth, what it was like... what can't you eat, what are the things that one shouldn't do, what they do.. breast feeding.. blah blah blah..... ah... motherhood- the pains and the joys...

iHeard
Over the last 2 weeks, since I have been home, i've heard a lot of very interesting statements..

" If I snore, they deserve it, its karma ''
" The movie is a ah-lian's dream come true, they speak Chinese in cute Japanese settings "
" You play 'Generals'( war games ) like a true business woman. "
" Fries and Rosti actually taste the same ! "
" I can sing any song at Kareoke as long as the artist is singing with me ! "

Very interesting thoughts, a few still make me laugh..

iAppreciate
Last night, a very tried person Colin was really really kind to drive half way across the country at 2.30am( yes.. Singapore is quite small, driving across Canada would take more time ) to give me a ride home. I was stuck downtown due to some reason I cannot explain on my blog ( protecting a friend's identity ). I really really do appreciate it... Thank you !

iFit
I am still trying fit back in Singapore, in my family. Its so strange to move back home. Its understanding family dynamics allover again. I have always kept my feelings to myself, kept to my room, kept to my world. I don't telll dad lots, nor mum, my sister would know most things about me... I am really close to my first aunt, she looked after me when I was a little girl, she still takes care of me and of everyone in the family, she understands my stubborness and craziness.. she is the best aunt in the world....

iChange
For the first time in my entire life, my aunt and I didn't agree on one particular topic. We came to the conclusion that I grew up and changed a lot over the past couple of years. I am a different person now.. Change is not a bad thing but when I fail to communicate the change to my family members, things go wrong. They assume they know Celine ( 5 years ago )...
I guess its going to take quite a while to learn the changes that my family have gone through. Changing a little and fitting back in ?

iWonder
I am heading for a Old Girls Association ( Convent Alumni ) meeting today... I wonder what it will be like ? I know I love my high school and I love to get back into Volunteering..
I set my short and long term goals ( AIESEC style ). My goals would require lots of hard work. I wonder if I can really deal with a hectic life all over again for the next 3 years. With so many courses to juggle and work...I hope so...

Taking time off to chill, there is an AIESEC party tonight...the barker boys are also meeting up tonight.... sigh... looks like I've got to party hop.

Have a good weekend !
