These few days have been a cycle. Gambling till past midnight then waking up in the noon. You won't believe what time i woke up this morn' er... i mean noon. I woke up at 3. Then its brunch followed by more visiting.
We visited grandaunt. She lived in a nunnery. She's 80++. How she became a nun was a sad poignant story of unrequited love, worthy of a shakespeare tragedy. She was only 18 then. I only see her once a year, but there exists a special and unspeakable bond towards her. When we left, i teared. I was afraid i would never get to see her again.
Then we visited mom's friends. There was a gathering at a friend's place. They were friends from her college days. And one of them, she had known her since they were in kindergarten. Kids, travel, work and gossip dominate the conversation. I was the topic of discussion for a whole good TEN minutes. =X
I wondered if 3905 would have a gathering after so many years, like more than 25 years later. I can't imagine us lugging kids and husbands to a gathering. It sounds scary.
By the way, kids are kinda scary.
