Just another day...

Woke up at 2pm today. It ain't that ridiculous if u consider that I slept at 6am after that farcical Champions League Final, and after the equally nonsensical finalé of Prison Break.

Met the SMUBS gang+1 for a spot of badminton, and I swear that I have absolutely ZERO hand-eye coordination. After long rallies based purely on reflexive instincts and salvaging a point, I'd drop the next few sets simply cos the racquet and the shuttlecock didn't connect. Ok that sounded wrong.

I left for home after that, and after a soothing shower we (Lin, me and SFH) left for AMK Community Hospital to visit 大舅. It was his birthday, after all. The gloom and pallor of the hospital wards were momentarily lifted by the forcibly hushed strains of "Happy Birthday". The single candle on the cake was especially significant, and 舅母 couldn't have put it any better: it was a new beginning to his life.

Next my maternal family headed off to Jalan Kayu for some dinner. The kids running around, the adults making small talk and me just concentrating on grabbing every single morsel of food with my grands looking on approvingly...

天伦之乐 is a joy best experienced and not described.
