Happy 28th Anniversary!

It's going to be 3am here and i just put down the phone not too long ago with my parents. Yesterday was their 28th wedding anniversary and i chatted with mommy for over an hour as she filled me in on her day's activities.

Daddy had got back from KL earlier this morning and they went to The Line at Shangri-La for international buffet dinner, treat from Rosie and KY : ) Mom was recounting her night delightfully on how the staff at the hotel found it hard to believe that she and dad have been married for 28 years as they don't look their age and dad couldnt stop making fun of her :p

I had a lot of fun chatting with them and laughed a lot too. KY and Yanshiun were there earlier too and i can just imagine how noisy and lively the house must be. When we put down the phone, everyone's gonna eat mooncake and drink chinese tea and it's 2am in Singapore! That's usual for a Saturday night at home esp. when Dad is home. It's at times like this i really think i will just go home after a year. The people here are nice but there is only one place you can call home right.

Good news though, dad and mom are confirmed coming to visit in early Nov. Just nice that SIA is having promotional fares for minimum of 2 to travel to Fukuoka, yay!=)
I am in the midst of planning our itinerary now. Been asking the teachers at school for recommendation on hotels and sights to see. Am planning a stay at a nice and classy onsen ryokan (traditional Japanese hot spring inn), you know those pretty Japanese inns you always see on Japan Hour where the women always wear yukata and eat real yummy looking food in the hotel room :p Having a hard time choosing just one onsen though as they all look so inviting. Should i just stick to Nagasaki and go to Unzen? Or should i make it to onsen prefecture Oita and stay at the famed Yufuin? Or should i make a trip to Mt. Aso in Kumamoto and try the famous (and of course pricey) Kurokawa hot spring? I am so spoilt for choice!

I wanna bring dad to eat the famed Dazaifu mochi and bring mommy to shop at Tenjin in Fukuoka. And show them around the island and bring them to meet all the people who had been so kind to me! I am so looking forward to their visit already! =)
