Met Keith for one of our #adventuretime sessions. It's always super fun and I realize I'm usually happiest after exploring and walking about random places instead of being in town and spending all of my money. I always leave town with a few new extra things and sooooo much guilt. Despite knowing this I still can't help myself from wanting to buy more things. Ugh, the evils of materialism. I definitely need to do something about this crippling need to obtain and hoard things.
Anyway, we went to Sengkang Riverside Park. We wanted to be hipsters and read on a blanket but it failed because there were ants all over the place. Instead, we had a dance party and lip syncing session. It was gr8, because the park was huge and mostly empty, save for a few construction workers here and there taking naps.
In the middle of the river there was this floating platform with these orange stools and a large, hollowed out mangosteen that is a shelter. Very bizarre and random choice of fruits.
Met my maternal side of the family for dinner nearby after that! It was to celebrate my grandpa's Chinese birthday. In the photo are my cousin, my brother, my grandparents, and a slightly sun burnt me haha.
Bonus photo of my grandparents being cute:
Apparently my grandpa hasn't been doing too well; I heard from my mom he has trouble recalling some things, and he's been almost deaf for quite a long time already (he insisted he didn't want a hearing aid lmao). He also fell down during one of his usual walks, which he tried to hide from the family haha. He's also lost a lot of weight, but on that night he ate really well!! My mom said it's probably because everyone was together having a meal and it made me feel rather sad, because I don't see them often and when my mom visits I usually can't wake up on time to go. I really need to visit them more often, considering I'm so free at the moment. I don't really know what to talk to them about though, and my mandarin is not at a level where I can hold conversations with ease haha. I'll have to figure something out.
