Lowdown of the week

Tuesday:
Visited my brother's place. Mainly because dad and his wife are back and are staying over there. Dad gave me a lot of stuff brought back from China. His wife is pretty bubbly and cheerful.
Dad's angbao: $100
Seriously I don't think he can afford giving me this much. I'd think he's barely making ends meet.

Wednesday:
Surprised Princess P early in the morning. I had the car for the day and drove to her place to pick her up for school. And made a card for her.

She was so happy. =D
Went ikea later to finally buy the cupboard for my room. It will be delivered saturday afternoon.

Thursday:
We met for dinner in school, and I gave her another card - a "hide and seek" postcard. The horror movie that's showing now. But she didn't say anything about it, didn't thank me, and just put it in her bag. I was very sad. And she just sat there doing nothing to try and cheer me up. I really felt as if I was being taken for granted.

We then had a 2hour chat on msn, and things weren't really cleared up. I smsed her to tell her I hope she appreciates me more. She replied today when she woke that she will, and we got better.

Friday ie today:
Went to school to watch Brazil. Really a visually stunning film. Recommend to all sociology or political science majors. Met up with my project group to discuss Shakespeare's a midsummer night's dream.

Boring.

Met Princess P so that we could go visit Popo who stays in Chinatown. It was the first time Popo met her, and I'm very glad that the two of them talked a lot. Although popo could speak very well in mandarin, it helped that Princess P could communicate in teochew (while humble me can't) and Popo told her quite a few stuff. Most shockingly, Popo gave each of us a $100 angbao.
Princess P feels very guilty and said she will keep the notes nicely and not use them. I said that's not what Popo wants. Popo loves us and treats her as family and we should use the money wisely. We can also use it to buy stuff for her on our next visit. It was a nice visit. It's great to see Popo so fit and healthy, and cheerful and smiling. She's already 81 years old.


Total ang bao collection to date:
$578
This is getting scary, isn't it?
