Aussie Cuzzies

Boy, have I been having a crazy weekend. Phew. I don't think I've walked that much since our Orchard Road mini-marathon in Singapore last year. And the reason for this bit of unusual activity (for me, at least)? The Durongs were down from Melbourne. (Uhm... for the uninformed, they're my cousins. On my dad's side.)

Okay, so the world and his brother knows I'm the biggest female anti-shopper ever to exist. And woe is me - I had 3 full days of shopping almost back to back last week! (One with mum, 2 with my cousins). Pardon moi, but I don't think I'll ever get the novelty of looking-trying-putting-back-on-rack. Nothing drains me more than shopping... Maybe except a 1500 metre run. Blah.

But that said, I had a blast anyway. Mainly coz my cousins are such an entertaining bunch :) Just listening to them was like one laugh after another. Especially when we tried to translate English swear words into Malay for them. In a train full of Malays they're going, "Keju zakar!" and "perogol emak!" at the top of their lungs! Dave and I were like, "SHUSH!!!!" But it was still utterly hilarious. Just thinking about that makes me wanna laugh all over again. Haha.

What's sad is in all these years, we've only seen 'em 3 or 4 times. And I think this is the most time we've ever spent together. It was good that we did, though. All this while they've kinda been the cousins we knew the least about. But it was a lot of fun, and it's great that I'll be seeing them again.

I'll miss 'em. It isn't often I see people bicker more than David and me :P But seriously, anyone who can get Dave to get himself made over is more than worth knowing... Lol. I'm just really glad they're not strangers anymore. Whoopdeedooo.

Now 'scuse me while I go try and see if I can stop thinking in an Australian accent (it's really contagious). Buhbye!
