i had a blast in australia. first stop was melbourne.

surprised me mom on the second day of Hari Raya. she was there already, taking care of my pregnant sis. she had no idea tat i was coming cos i told her tat all flights were fully booked and the available tix was too expensive. well it was twice the normal price.

the morning of my arrival, Nazif (BIL) told mom that he was going to the supermarket. mom was a bit surprised that he was up pretty early on a sunday morning (8am). usually they'll be lazing in bed till noon (ok.. that was an exaggeration) marian was up and showered which made it even more suspicious.

when i reached my sis' home, nazif walked in first and i came in like half a min later. Boy, was she surprised!!! we hug. she cried. she made me wanna cry. we hugged some more. seeing me probably make her missed home even more...(i think) raya in melbourne is not the same as in singapore. esp when your entire family is not there wit you... :)

it was an overwhelming morning for all....
meeting my sis and brother-in-law after such a long time and getting to see my new nephew. he's so adorably small... tiny hands. tiny wrinkly fingers. tiny wrinkly toes. alhamdullillah! both mother and child are well...
