The Call when my mum starts giggling on the phone, i know SOMETHING is up. mum: "hahaha. i'm going to jiu zai gou (some place in china) with papa. hahahaha. hahahah. hahaha." su: "huh? but but but...i want to go too!" mum: "hahaha. hahaha. it's during the deepavali break and you won't be back yet. sorry ah." -__-" always like that. but then her conscience gave me the go ahead to tour msia with my friends. hoho. she offered. so i'll just accept it....no questions asked. :) anyway, this must have been the longest call home ever since i came to melbourne. maybe it's because the international sms rate has increased to 35 cents that i'd rather squeeze everything into a phone call. and of course with so many things coming up like holidays, cny and of course my sis' wedding, which is tentatively going to be in september next yr - date and all set to suit this princess' timetable) *smug look* how exciting. this BALLROOM is what she has in mind. very pretty, but very expensive. considering my mummy alone wants 15 tables...it's gonna cost more than $35,000 to throw a wedding. how in the world can anyone afford a wedding nowadays?? (shattered are my fullerton dreams. crap) so with all 3 of us yakking away (2 on the phone. 3rd one in the background eavesdropping disguised by whistling/walkingaround/readingsomething) i felt like i was transported to a room in my grandmother's house containing my mum and all my aunties (my grandparents had 8 girls and 1 boy ok). imagine too-many females in an enclosed area speaking in too-fast cantonese at the top of their lungs all at the same time. in this same room you get money transactions, latest who-n-who's son/daughter and the familiar sound of mahjong tiles clashing. i so know how i'm going to grow up. of course, just SLIGHTLY different. my sis and i spent the last 20-30 mins of the phone call talking about isoprenaline, dobutamine, tilt table test and blood pressure.
