Get Together With Buddies From Down Under

If i am as lucky as my friend Karen, i would be a mother of 3, the eldest being 9 years old and the youngest being 7 months already. Well, Karen, Steven & family are back from Melbourne for their 2 months vacation. Karen's mom just got the keys to the new Punggol Flat 2 weeks ago and thus, they are busy helping auntie to do up the house right now.

It's been a long time since we met up. I think the last was probably 4 - 5 years back when i accompanied bro to melbourne when he first went to Monash University. The gals have grown up and Jolene, the second daughter is just like Tracy, Karen's sis when i looked at the photo. She was already asleep when i went over just now but by just taking a peep at her, well .... i really couldn't recognise her. She was just a toddler when i saw her previously.

Met up for supper with them, together with my old pal Carrie. The last time when i met her, well, it was 4 - 5 years back. Only realised just now that she is currently doing her part-time Masters in international marketing at RMIT and working. She was telling us how excited she is that she's transferred to handle asia-pacific region, instead of Europe market. This means that she gets to travel to Melbourne since the new furniture store is opening there soon. Gives her the extra opportunity to visit karen & family.

Looking forward to meet up with them again tomorrow evening when we bring the kids to Night Safari. It's just so good to spend time together with them. I remember when i first went over to Melbourne to study, i was staying with Karen & Steven for a good 3 weeks before i shifted out. We had a good conversation in the car just now and wow .... both of them have known eachother for a good 17 years.

Each time i meet them, the question and thought of moving to Australia will definedly cross my mind. It made me wonder ..... do i really want to stay in Singapore? The pace is definedly slower there and in a way, u have a more relaxed life. Unlike here where u work really hard and slog like crazy. Sigh!
