It was a busy day for me.

I had an impromptu lunch with Xav at 12pm, we went to Novena Square 2 to have my fave Korean at Seoul Yummy. We had bibimbab, spicy beef soup and spicy octopus. Oh, so good. Xav and I loved the bibimbab especially. I love to eat there, although I can only go sparingly because of the prices.

And I'm in love with the Oceanus perfume! Can't stand itttttttt.. Going to get it soon ><

Had to rush back home after that, because at 430pm was my youngest aunt's registration of marriage. Went over immediately to my parents' place, because I had absolutely zilch to wear, and my dad said no jeans.

Tried on countless dresses! When I looked in the mirror, all that was on my mind was "oh god", and not in a good way. I dumped the idea of trying to wear a dress, and just went home and throw on a nice top with black pants and heels. Luckily I didn't look too bad. Although I got pretty down because I wasn't a lady at all even at 20. I didn't even have a skirt at home, and I only had jeans and shorts in my cupboard. Shopping soon! For clothessss and also some balls to wear them ==

My dad picked me up and we went to Fort Canning. The registration took what, 10 mins? My aunt almost giggled because she could barely hear the registrar's slur. And they changed it from "I do" to "I will".

And after the registration, my aunt told my mom to enjoy it while she's there, because she won't be coming back for a while as next in line to get married were me and my sisters. Then my mom pointed at me. Oh gg. Talk about pressure! But what made me happy was that my parents seemed to be warming up to Dave. My mom was telling my dad things about him at dinner.

All except my uncle's family went to my parents' place for tea before the dinner. Dinner was at Orchard Hotel. I was seated with my parents and sisters with my new uncle's children. Marriage came up again, and my mother once again embarrassed me by saying I was getting married next year. I was having a bit too much to drink already, and I just blinked at her and said not so soon.

Had my first taste of red wine! I was downing the white by the glass because I rarely had the chance to drink such nice wine. Before the red was served, I got pretty red and a little tipsy. But after I stood up I was alright again, and my dad complimented that I'm a good drinker. Good to hear that! I've always thought I couldn't drink for nuts.

I overheard my mother saying she knew my new uncle for 30 over years. I was shocked, then asked my sisters about it. Turns out he was in the same year as my parents in SAJC! He was in the next class from my mother, and could hear her laughing from there. Lolol. He even said she was notorious in her JC years xD Such a small world. My mom was also telling me all the good food they eat at their place. I was happy for them but there was a tinge of utmost sadness and my heart sank because I wasn't there.

I really had a lot of fun with my family. They all have such a good sense of humor that it's never boring to be around them. And it broke my heart when my dad and I were alone and he told me he knew I was lonely and unhappy that I was away from my twin sister, and he told me to ackowledge that feeling instead of suppress it like my sister.

I really miss them, and it shows on my face. When we meet up for extended family occasions, I always seem to chat non-stop with my mom and sisters. My uncle's family even asked if I was inseparable from my sister. That was when my dad talked to me about her.

I love my family very much, and although I'm happy to have my independence from them at an early age, I still miss them every day. Well, we'll be together again at my aunt and uncle's wedding next month. 28th I think. Yeah.

Damn. My hearts aches so damn bad when I think about those four most important people in my life.
