Home Sweet Home

Yes we are safe at home at last after a rather uncomfortable flight. Poor matt got a little airsick because he stared outside the window. Its a nice view but when the plan tips to one side, the horizon changes and it can have a dizzying effect.

A little bit more about the last 2 days at Melbourne. On Easter Saturday, we spent the majority of it lazying around in the house after a huge glorious breakfast. Amanda made her famous HUGE cheese pancakes (best ever.. no kidding). I learnt how to make it and we bought the pancake mix from her workplace. And since we miss each other so much and we stay so far apart, we agreed that once the mix is used up its a signal for me to go back to Melbourne or for her to come back to Singapore to bring me some! We had all sorts of pancakes, cheese pancakes, cream and jam pancakes, lemon sugar pancakes. Then we had the cremonial breaking of the easter bunny!!!! We umm.. actually decapitated the rabbit.. quite a sight.

Then the afternoon was spent lazying around, lots hugging and all the oh dear, tomorrow i'm home thingy with my God-sister. We were attending Easter Vigil so we had an early dinner. The 3 of us headed to Lygon street (Little Italy) and had quite a good meal. I had marinara (best ever) matt had penne with avacardo and cream and amanda had chicken ceasar salad and we shared a pizza! We had so much. We could hardly keep awake at mass. BAD!!!!

After mass all of us (my god parents and family and matt's mum and sis) made our way to Macs again for a small cosy celebration. It was lovely. Took a video and will post it up soon!

On our last day in Melbourne it was very very sad. My dearest god-sis and I woke up with the sad feeling. We both started singing - Leaving on a jetplane song.. sigh.. it was so sad. In the end she gave me her shoes and I ended giving her something else although I really wish I could have given her a better gift.

Matt and I left Melbourne with mixed feelings. We were so happy and touched by the kindness and warmth of my god-parents, clement and amanda and little christine (we missed eve too!). They treated us like family and not just to us but also to matt's mum and sis. We were at the same time feeling blue that we had so little time with them. Nonetheless we hope to see them soon and return them the hospitality and love they have shown us.

Now back at home, its back to the grind. But we now have a better perspective of life and we're pretty much ready to take on what life has in store for us as long as we keep God in sight.
