Overwhelmed.

Bro & family came back on Sun afternoon. They'd a 2-hr swim & enjoyed it. Hubby & I relaxed by the pool too with tidbits & our fav peach soda. Hubby joked that they're having such a healthy activity while ours was just the opposite - junk food party! And we succeeded in luring them to join in... so evil of us huh!

Dinner time, we headed to Sin Ming for some sliced fish bee hoon soup as I suddenly craved for it. Back immediately after dinner & had a 2nd mooncake session [wasn't it over already??]. SIL had earlier on bought mum another box so we'd better eat it together before we overdose ourselves. Ok it's all my fault. The practice for every year is SIL & I each buy a box... usually ours are teochew yam mooncakes (as my honey & me like, hehe) & SIL's are the traditional ones. But this year we broke the unsaid rule & bought a box of FIVE traditional mooncakes from Crystal Jade. Reason being I was salivating at the 5-yolk mooncake! Then we’d some @ Constance’s place & I loved it – double-yolk with chunks of macadamia nuts generously filled. So 3 days after our Crystal Jade purchase, we got another box with the macadamia nuts. Now can you imagine how many of the festive confection are there for a family of 1 aunty who can’t take too much (indigestion), 1 young man who doesn’t really have a sweet tooth & his wife who loves what she bought but beyond her ability to finish all by herself? Then more came in (from SIL) last Sun. Oh gosh.. can’t believe I’m making a mooncake talk here... Must be OVERwhelmed by the cakes!


Enjoyed the night breeze downstairs with a cuppa & u-noe-wat
