Visiting Alicia's Mum

Last Saturday, a couple of girlfirends & myself paid Alicia's Mum a visit. (Alicia's a close buddy of ours. She left SIN to pursue her studies in Brissy for almost 7yrs now... *gesh* has it been that long...)

Anyhow, Aunty wasn't home alone. She was babysitting her grandchild - Kailing, and Jia Jia (Alicia's youngest sis) was still in bed when we arrived (@ ard 11:30hrs).

Aunty still look as thin as I last remembered... but I thought she looked more radiant now.
Perhaps she has little Kailing to keep her company now.
I could sense that she misses the company of her daughters.
When we headed out for lunch, Jia Jia didn't join us... Aunty mentioned that Jia Jia's all grown up now, and she wouldn't wanna join her for most activities. We reassured Aunty that Jia Jia's at this stage where she prefers to hang out with her friends than go out with her parents... in about 5-6 years time, she'll want to spend more time with her parents. We're pretty sure about this, cos' we're speaking from experience... ;p
Aunty also said she has hinted Alicia to move back to SIN for good several times now... but somehow, Alicia still prefers to stay put in Aussie, despite the occassional visits from the 'LONELY MONSTER'.

Lunch ended pretty early cos' Kailing started to get all moody & cranky from the flu medication she was on.
Kailing was a really quiet kid. She didn't say much thru out the entire time we were there... all we heard her say was: "I don't want...". The rest of her sentence was usually too soft to be heard. Thou we did realise Kailing like to keep the hair of her Barbie dolls messy... perhaps it's the 'fashion' these days?! ;p
Elaine on the other hand was really disturbed by it. So she pretty much spent the entire time combing and plaiting the long locks of the dolls.
Some friends I have huh! *ha ha ha*
