Yiyi's Visit

After 2 years, I finally welcome my dear sister and brother-in-law to our home in Melbourne. It was a sweet reunion, considering the last time we met was about 6 months ago. No one is more enthusiastic about her visit than my 2 boys. Since knowing his 'Yiyi' is coming by plane, XX who has no inclination about dates, has been asking on and off why she's not here yet and why the plane is taking so long. KK forked out his own pocket money to get Yiyi her favourite white chocolates as a belated birthday present.









You can imagine the two weeks that they were here, the kids had a ball of a time. More specifically, they went crazy over the games in her i-phone and with the new Wii, compliments of my family in S'pore. They even requested for her to sleep together and in the mornings, will go over to her room to wake her up.









As the weather was really cold and wet, unfortunately they couldn't manage to do much outdoors. But we had lots of time at home, watching World Cup matches and eating. In the wintertime, hot soups like "Ma la" hotpot and herbal chicken soups warms the body. They also made short trips to the city and Victoria Market and I brought them to our favourite food haunts for lunches.









When it was time for Yiyi to go back to S'pore, KK was extremely sad, though he adjusted back pretty fast. XX till now still thinks Yiyi is going to return. Apparantly he thinks she's just gone shopping.





Hope to see you back in Melbourne soon, Yiyi and Uncle James!!
