life's perfect

and i don't mean to induce diabetes in you but it really is.

landed in good ol' changi airport on time and customs were a breeze. gotta love the hyper-efficiency that is singapore. and home was standing in the arrival hall looking ever so handsome :) truly where the heart is.

went to the physical home and got reacquainted with my canine precious. he really put me through the wringer! he was determined to ignore me but after much pleading on my part, he condescended to sit at my tired feet. he kept up with the silent treatment for a good 10minutes, glowering away at this previously-absentee mother of his. good he isn't one to hold a grudge though because he finally warmed up and was his usual affectionate self. glad the parentals' fear that he'd devour me live was unfounded. and when i left his garden, he started to howl. was morbidly pleased that i was missed.

rushed for a facial after then back home for some quality time with my not-so-little puppy. doubt he realises how big he actually is. it's as if he's a tiny thing trapped in a bear's body because omgosh he's GIGANTIC now. i go away for five months and come home to a grizzly bear. he still bounds everywhere and thinks he can hop onto my lap like he used to. nah uh!

and i saw our latest addition for the first time too! he's absolutely adorable and so frisky. pity he sits like a frog on a lily pad though. worried about his splayed hindlegs. gotta have that looked into.

the party count's already at 2 in the 12h i've been home. went across the street for christmas eve party #1 then to our long-time family friends' for christmas eve party #2. have lunch and dinner parties for the next four days straight with a short break before relapsing into party fever for the new years' long weekend. psyched :) looking forward to seeing everyone again!

it's so very good to be home and i'm blessed to have a fantastic family to come back to. saw my grandparents for the first time in 5 months at the family friend's christmas party and it's surreal to be sitting on my bed, listening to the sound of raindrops on the windowpane and the frog chorus i've missed. my time in stockholm feels like a dream, far removed from the pleasant reality that i've descended back into. will post proper and with some photos once i get my act together. in the meanwhile, i'm running on 2h of sleep the past 48h and desperately need to crash.
