updates!

latest update:

today, aunty amelia from sweden (in town to visit) rang me up while out shopping with mummy. guess what for? my present! this must be some joint-conspiracy thing, but they're not exactly being very subtle about it.

case 1: sarah asks me to keep saturday afternoon free so she can plan something for me, kinda like a 'surprise' party thing/gathering but not, i guess. [well, she did ask me if i had anything planned yet and the answer was a negative, no.]

case 2: [cont'd from above] aunty amelia asks me what my favourite colour is. i say pink. she goes,"too bad, there isn't any pink. choose another colour!" then she mutters (more to herself than to me) ,"aiyah, what the hell. i'm just going to get you something i think you will like, and not listen to your mummy anymore. bye!"

case 3: gen messages me on msn asking if i'm doing anything for my birthday, i said no and that she should check with sarah, having given herself the supposed planner title.

case 4: andrea messages me on msn, apologising for not being able to be here for my birthday.

it's just supremely sweet that they actually remembered, because like i said, it's usually my job to remind everyone to stay in the same country and coordinate schedules, if not i'm sure no one would give a beep.
