Memory lane

2-year anniversary to the journey of a lifetime + life's greatest experience. Missing every bit of it.

The scenic route

Sisterly surprise

This is too sweet, silly and funny to be forgotten - hence the blog post. :)

So, Becky is back home for a couple of days for a medical course. She wanted to surprise mom, dad and I so she didn't tell any of us that she was coming home. She schemed a surprise plan with Ruth. I don't really know how the surprise for mom and dad went, but this is how MY surprise went. *can't stop smiling just thinking about it*

***

Scene: I was home alone, watching a Korean drama on my laptop. I saw a car stopped in front of the house so I got suspicious and rushed to the door to see who it might be. Everything looked like normal? My car was parked outside and so was Mom's. I disregarded my suspicion and returned to watching the Korean drama on my laptop, on the couch.

A few minutes later, the gate opens and someone runs to the door. I of course assumed it was going to be Ruth. A very high pitched voice calls out, "May Yi!!!" - a very very familiar voice. I turned and there she was, standing at the door. I was fazed, for like 3 seconds, before it hit me - BECKY IS HOME???!!!  I rushed to open the door for her and we hugged and laughed like silly girls. 

The conversation that followed....

Me: Hahahaha, how come you're here? I thought you were Ji Yi (Ruth). How did you come? Denise sent you home? Is Denise on leave and back here too?

Becky: Hahahaha, I wanted to surprise you.... I've actually been back for a few days. Had a course to attend. 

Me: Ahhh, is that why Ji Yi wanted to organize the family dinner for tonight? Was that the original surprise plan? 

Becky: Ya sort of but not really lah. I had dinner plans already. Mom nearly blew the surprise when she replied in the family group chat that we can't do the dinner on Friday night cos I was supposed to have dinner plans with the Korean doctors. I was actually home with her at that time and I screamed from upstairs "MOM!!! MAY YI IS NOT SUPPOSED TO KNOW THAT I'M HOME. IT'S SUPPOSED TO BE A SURPRISE!!!"

Becky then repeated her conversation with mom that day....

Becky: MOM!!! MAY YI IS NOT SUPPOSED TO KNOW THAT I'M HOME. IT'S SUPPOSED TO BE A SURPRISE!!!

Mom: Oh yaaaa!! Sorry sorry I forgot....but nevermind, don't worry - May Yi is quite dumb. She won't realize.
(I should be offended that my mom thinks i'm dumb but i don't know why I find it more hilarious than offensive)

Becky: Hahahaha, yeah yeah she's quite dumb. Nevermind, I can fix this. I'll cover up by saying something else. (So both Becky and Mom pretended it was a mix up of dates in the family group chat.)

I suppose I can be quite blonde, or dumb at times; maybe most times but who cares? Blonde moments always make a good story for a good laugh. :) 

Sweet surprises never fail to make me happy. Thanks for making me happy today, my dear sister. x

Favourite Japanese indie band

I'm so glad we were strolling through the Osaka Castle Park at the time they were having their concert. It was.....meant to be....

Lead singer plays the flute! Too sexy....

Crossed

I confronted S.WART about knowing what he had done. Instead of an apology, he "unfriended" me on Facebook - with no reply or explanation whatsoever. WOW! That's real "macho" and "mature". I'm glad we're no longer friends, cos a friend like that ain't worth keeping. A friend wouldn't even have done what he did in the first place. Jerk. Coward.
