It was a greatttt weekend! Aunt Emilia & family are over in Sydney for a holiday and staying at our place. They arrived on Saturday morning around 830. I was awoken by the huge ruckus. Allegra & Marcia were screaming and jumping about, it was so noisy that i had to get up even though i slept really late on Friday night. Met Neh in the afternoon, walked around a bit in town, went to check out some stuff which i plan to get year end. We went home at about 4, spent some quality time, then both of us fell asleep. I don't usually take naps or fall asleep but i was really sleepy. The last i remember before we fell asleep was when we were talking about...ok now i forgot. Anyway, i think i woke up after 10mins, saw that Neh was asleep too so i went back to sleep. I kept waking up every few minutes to see if he was really asleep or just pretending to sleep so as not to wake me up, but realised that he was really asleep so i went back to sleep. Woke up about half an hour later, when i opened my eyes, he woke up too. Somehow, i felt very blissful at that moment. After waking up, we started chatting and talking about the past when we were a lot younger, then he started to tell me about his army life and mentioned a creepy ghostly encounter when he first entered army. We just kept chatting and forgot the time, it was almost 8 when we realised and it was time for dinner. Its been so long since we had such nice chats, felt like the getting-to-know-more-about-you-moments before we got together.

Today, i stayed home while everyone went to Tarongga Zoo. I didn't wanna go cos i had tons of work to do, and exams are coming. Then in the evening we went to Central for dinner. Ate so much that my jeans felt like they were about to burst. I really enjoyed dinner, Aunt Emilia commented that Allegra looks soooo much like me, and i added that she was the mirror image of me when she was abt 1yr old; the true blue Lazaro look. On the contrary, Amadea looks like her mum, and Marcia looks like her dad. Despite hardly meeting up with all my aunts and uncles because everyone lives in different parts of the world, i could feel the closeness. Its been a long time since we had such family dinners, and i really enjoyed todays.

I cant help but tear as i type, today is also the first Mothers Day that im away from home. I sent my mum an sms this afternoon to wish her. I imagine all the kids celebrating Mothers Day together with their mums, while my mum's only child/daughter is not around to celebrate it for her...I just wish i could teleport home right now.

These 3 weeks are going to be really busy. I have 3 tests this week, 1 project and 1 essay to hand up next week. The following week, exams start. I can't wait to get through everything and come home!

If i never knew you, i'd have lived my whole life through
empty as the sky, never knowing why
lost forever, if i never knew you
