so what did they say about being happy?
You start feeling younger. You start living another 20 years longer. You laugh even in your dream.
I just uploaded whole set of outdated photos and here's one that make me smile.
Be happy and blessed from this very day my dear Jo. ;)
So, how was Sydney? Eric's BIL asked me to sum up Sydney in three words - BEAUTIFUL, RELAXING and FAMILY
You wouldn't believe that on first day of arrival, we were already fighting. So much for a good start huh? But we tried cooling off before the parents came to pick us up and off we go from airport.
So, you might ask, how was meeting the parents for the first time? It was definitely fun but not without the stress. Recalling what my GM said: "Ellen, you gotta behave and be a good gal when you meet the parent. Mum is a sharp person and never treat yourself like a guest. Remember, your future is in your hand"
Hahaha, but the Dad and Mom and Sister and BIL was such bunch of nice people. They took us out (I like to think more of me) to see Sydney the way they want me to see. We toured the markets, Paddinton, Opera house, Harbour Bridge, Botanical garden, Leichhardt and not to forget the home cook meals. Not to forget to mention meeting Dianne and Geof (two of Yip's best friend) who was two best looking people and nicest company anyone have.
And on the last full day of Sydney, Yip took me for a train ride and we tuup tuup to the city and walked through the streets, sipping coffee and talking about all places where Yip had worked, his favourite hangout and his favourite shoes shop. We ended the day with strained soles, took the train and walked back home.
Killara was a quiet suburb. We walked through the rows and rows of houses, not talkng much and just enjoying the walk hand-in-hand.
My postmodem of the trip described it most - Sydney is a beautiful place and it takes your mind off everything. Relaxing, wind blowing on your face and you care about nothing but where's next. And of cos to complete with the icing on the cake, the friends and family made it perfect and warm.
So I asked Yip one night before sleeping - does he think that his parents and sistas like me? Hahaha.... (again, I like to think they do, hehehe)
I like to go back again...and again...and again...
