Well Uncle Peter and Aunty Eve came back for a few weeks from Canada and we went out a couple of times. Of course I couldn't go last week 'cause I was sick. But still. I forgot the joy of having someone around who doesn't speak with Singlish. I mean like, American/Australian/something like that. Grace's really funny when she get's like agitated over certain kind's of stuff. Haha so cute.

Aunty Eve: Gracie don't drink so much. Give some to them. *Pours drink into our cup*
Gracie: Mom! That's too much!
Aunty Eve: Where got? See left so much! *Points inside cup*
Gracie: *Indicating that only about 2 inches remains* There's so little left!
Aunty Eve: Gracie where's the cover why you spoil the cover later spill how?
Gracie: How'm I going to spill THIS much? *Indicating how little is left*

Granted it doesn't sound as funny on print as it does in actuality. Bearing in mind that she (Grace) is hopping about in her seat pointing around and waving her fist. Okay not that last bit. Whatever. Oh but she does a really good British accent. And supposedly a Spanish one.

Never really seen Zeb so animated with other friends/people. I guess being about the same age they can really clique huh.

And school's so fun in America they can actually wear home clothes to school. I can imagine myself in shorts and slippers. Kind of relaxing not to be in a stuffy uniform. I mean, of course, there's no reason for uniform to be hot unless you're like, playing tennis in uniform. Or something. Plus they have all sorts of fun stuff like twin day (during which you wear clothes that're the same as somone else. We have 24/7 twin day in RI) and pyjama day, which is so cool 'cause you can wear anything, even pyjamas,except tank tops which aren't less than three fingers thick at the shoulders, which Grace says is hard to come by in shops in Canada and which I have none of so thankfully I don't come into trouble under that rule. And the way she describes Estella screaming so much is so funny. Of course I don't laugh out loud 'cause it's not raucously funny, just amusing in a quiet way. Just that Estella now seems so different from the Estella I knew. Of course I never had the opportunity to stand OUTside her room and get shouted at to get out of her room, so of course I won't know her that well. Notwithstanding the last time she came back I was 9 and she was 11. Lots of time to forget what she was like. I find it interesting, though, that the last time Uncle Peter and Aunty Eve came back, I was kind of pally with Estella. And this time, Estella's preparing for university, so I was pally with Grace. Of course, it's got to be mentioned that Gracie's extremely chatty. Nevertheless, they're 6 years apart, and I find that. I don't know. Interesting? Yeah. OH you know what. I asked Gracie and she said she thought I would be about 19. Or same age as Estella, who's turning 18 in October. I'M OLD. Your voice changes everything. In sec 2 when I was high and squeaky, grown adults, whose minds/brains are fully and rationally developed and thereby should be able to rationally guess a persons age were coming up to me and saying I know! You're either Primary 4 or Primary 5! =.= I ask you. Anyway next time we're going up to Canada and I'm totally going to try Canada's Wonderland and tubing and skiing and all the fun stuff <3 Oh man.

Can't wait! Australia will have to wait :/ 'Cause no one stays in Sydney!!! ): I mean come ON, you've got to be kidding me, there's Uncle Dennis in Perth, Uncle Andrew in Melbourne, Hazel Jie in Brisbane but no one except Erinn in Sydney but NO RELATIVES so I can't visit you, 'cause my parents probably won't travel to Sydney and sit in Starbucks while I visit Erinn right. Who are you kidding. Maybe I can ask to squeeze in a Sydney into our Australian itinerary. (Contrary to popular belief, it's Itinerary, pronounced Ai-TIN-ner-rare-ee, not Itinery.) I mean, Perth, Melbourne, Brisbane, and beautiful Sydney [: Sounds like a pretty good plan to me. But hopefully Aunty Sally's house is vacated of all tenants, i.e. Aunty Jenny/Aunty Irene who have plans to go up to America too. Then we can go and stay and visit Uncle Peter they all lah.

But now, it's just back to school. Put a big smile on my face, awright. I like to make myself believe*PIAK* Enough already!
