Hah...finally...a little break time to blog:)..Feels forever since the last time I wrote anything. This past week has been especially long since I had to prepare for the first exam. But...we're here now and that's done....well, until I have to do the 2nd exam in early May..:) I missed Payton's first b'day last week (sorry big boy), but I really needed that quiet time alone. I always crammed everything at the last minute, I don't think my brain will work any other way...so it was good to have the total peace and quiet time , even only for few hours. I don't know if Dads are the same , but as a Mom, it's hard for me to completely focus on the books and pretended that I am childless...oh well, we'll see.
To pick up where we left off:), we all went to Victoria that Chinese New Year weekend. We haven't been back for a while, and plus we hadn't seen our newest niece Turquoise and plus again it was chinese new year..so after the usual being at each other's throats and packing like we're going to stay there for at least 1 year, the van was packed, the kids were packed and asleep and we were good to go for the 3 o'clock ferry on Feb 15th. Going on the ferries these days is just soo much pain for me...when Shun and I were on long distance, we took turn going over every other week...so yeah, I really am not excited at all when the ferry captain announced that there's a pod of whales swimming 100 miles away from the boat...now is even worse, ..packing for the kids is just crazy...seriously, it almost feel like the house was half empty when we left...and we were only there for 3 nights. One thing for sure is that I should never again let Shun pack for the kids' clothes!:) He pretty much packed Kairo's whole wardrobe:)...I guess the packing part is not that bad, the unpacking part is the worse. Anyways...enough about this, gives me a headache right now:)
Victoria was good and relaxing...it's always nice to have extra set of hands to help:) plus, the abundance of food at Shun's parents' house didn't hurt either:)..We got to meet baby Turquoise for the first time...and she was cute and seems to have this calm presence . Kelly and SJ seemed very relax as a 'first timer':)
It just so happenned that Valentine's day was Jesse's 30th b'day. So his sisters threw him a party at their place on the weekend in the afternoon. We were supposed to go there with the kids too, we haven't seen their newest baby boy either, so it would've been good, but the kids were napping at weird times so we ended up didn't go. Instead, we met up with them later at night at Legends. YES, we finally went clubbing:) It was so much fun....i was just telling Shun how back in the days , like 8-9 years ago when we used to frequent these kind of places, the kids that we saw that night were only 10 -12 years old...elementary school!:)..and now we are partying in the same place:)...It's funny to see how things don't change...all the bumping and grinding...the drunk guys dancing like crazy while trying to 'accidentally' bump into hot girls' asses...girls wearing skimpy clothing dancing ever so seductively:)...ahhh...the smell of youth...hahah...or obliviousness...:)..little did they know how those exact actions would lead them to what we are now...mothers of crying, pooping, screamin babies:)
I lost my voice there, thanks to actually talking with everyone:) It's always fun talking with the boys though...especially when they are sobber:)...we hang out there until about 1:30 ish ....and boy we were beat! we were soo beat that we got up the next morning (bright and early at 6 of course, because the kids got up at that time) with sore throats:(
Anyways, it was all fun and everyone is now back to our normal selves. Phew!
