Memories

Wenhao (Uncle Jon), Layin (Shirlyn) and Seyin (Emily) came to Adelaide on Saturday, the jackport date 7-7-7!

Happy birthday Wengsoon and Hsiulye!

It was nearly six months since I last saw the girls. I’m glad that they were here! All of us sprung into action almost immediately. We’ve totally utilised the short period of 4 days to the maximum.

Shortly after settling down in the ever famous Village, we went to the Central Market for brunch. And our story kick started from there!

Hahndorf, the German Village, was the next station. We went into almost every shop because Chuen’s idea is that every shop is good as long as there’s heater in it! True enough, that day was so windy and to make things worse, it was raining. We went into a Chocolate Shop, Fudge Shop…. and finally we met this shop that totally blew Steph away - Fairies in Your Garden. As the name suggested, it was full of FAIRIES! :o)

We rested for a while before having dinner in Dumpling King. A word of advice: dumplings good, rice and noodles bad, except Shanghai noodles.

Day 2 (Sun)
We went to Steph’s church - the Edge. We then spent the whole afternoon in Glenelg. Chuen and Wenhao were all up for Boost juice! The got the rest of them into it too! Then we came out with a brilliant idea - ‘tapao’ our Fish n chips and yiros and eat outdoor. In the end, Chuen literally turned blue! I’ve never known what cyanosis was until that day.
Dinner at home was good! The girls showed off their culinary skills (erm.. Chuen?). Then was when I really wished Layin and Seyin could stay till Sunday, when I leave. :o)
It was Poker time after dinner. Texas hold’em. James Bond. The slight difference was that our chips were made up of sudoku number tiles, rubber bands, hairbands and boggle cubes. And I lost all my chips in the first game. :p

Day 3 (Mon)
The Adelaide ppl went for classes. Thus, I stepped in as a temporary tour guide! :o) We visited Cleland Wildlife Park. Funny things happened in the park. Some kangaroos were sunbathing, some scratched their armpits, some their private parts. Wenhao talked to a kangaroo and trying to make it shake his hand. Hmm..
We stayed in the city after that and hung around in Rundle Mall till dinner time. We had Italian food in Amalfi.

Day 4 (Tues)
Christine prepared us breakfast as her class was only in the afternoon. We went marketting in Central Market to buy ingredients for tonight’s steamboat! :o)
After that Steph met us in the city and brought us to Harbour Town! We waited for more than an hour for the bus! But shopping was good!
We got back to prepare for the steamboat. It was such a huge night. Dramas happened: the soup overflowed, the fuse tripped.. But on top of all that, we had a wonderful dinner!

Layin and Seyin left this morning! :o) All the best to you in UK! Take care!
