Yeah, I know it's a strange feeling! When I should really be happy that I'm finally done with exams, and hopefully... really done with the course, after six long years. Well, I am relieved, really... but just... a little "aimless" at the moment.
We decided to sleep in on Saturday, and be "big lazy worms" like how my sister words it, but then Jon's friend, Khar rang him for golf. The weather was sunny, and we didn't really have concrete plans for the day, so I agreed to go along after minimal convincing. Hahahaha.
Yes, I promised him that I'll go for a game with him a longgg time ago. He was supposed to teach me at the driving range or something **and that was wayyyy back in winter**. So, being a good gal :) I kept to my promise.
We went to Kingston Links, cause it's near to his mom and dad's and we could go back to pay them a visit after the game :) AND of course, it's convenient for Khar as well. Hehe.
Kingston Links Golf Club - It was sunny and nice that day :)
Karen & Mei
Jon taking a swing :)
I told myself that I was gonna regret going by the end of the day. He warned me that I was gonna have to do heaps of walking, so make sure I have on comfortable shoes. But it turned out to be quite fun, really. :)
I guess the only down side was he got a little distracted, and lost some balls on the course. Hahaha. But it was nice to finally be with him on the course, and be a part of something he loves. So yeah, I would say, I didn't regret going after all. Hahaha. Except for the fact that I'm a little darker now, and my freckles are showing :(
We headed back to his parents' after ice-cream post-golf, and had dinner with the family. We didn't go back to my place that night, cause Jon was too tired to drive, and there was a riot at Spring Street, in the city. We saw it on the news on Sunday, and were so glad that we didn't drive home that night. It was pretty bad! Scaryyyyy!!
Well, on the bright side, I got to spend some quality time with his family, AND I stayed over his place for the first time.. Hehehe. Yeah, we go back all the time, but I never stayed over.
Lights off... and I said " Oohh.. it's really dark and quiet here. I can't even see your face"
and then he went "Welcome to the suburbs, darling" O.o
I had a lazy Sunday with his family on Sunday. We watched the Australian Open, Uncle Peter taught me how to swing the golf club @ their backyard, Tish and I went marketing, and Jon cleaned up his car and changed the wheels...
It was a typical family Sunday... and yesterday, I felt like I'm a part of the family. Thank YOU. Thank you for giving me a second family here...
** Sorry if this post ended abit emo, cause I'm starting to miss my family :( 10 more days and counting **

And we still haven't found a place. well, technically, we've found a place... but it's just that, the tenant is still there. Have to wait till she leaves... *which is the complicated bit*
But I do have things to do. I have to study for my driving test, and am planning to get a car before you guys come.
mei: on the house? lol only when im in the house. (wed, fri, sat, sun). Probably someone would drag you in soon as I promised that someone a treat on the house. Come in and say my name!
summer is coming, it's perfect time to get a tan =) (i'm still relying on the *ahem* fake ones)

benkaiser: OH wow! :D Will make sure I drop by one of these days! :) tee hee hee...
kelly: Yes, I AM getting a tan. Jon says I'm "blacker" now.
Yea, I know what you mean. But his dad is a really enthusiastic teacher, I must say :) And the game is really wayyy more difficult than it looks.
Parents are coming end of the month. Exams are over, but I still have heaps of errands to run :( So, not really a holiday for me.
