next day

alrighty after getting some rest, i was finally up for the day ahead. not sure where i'll b going, what i'll b doing, or even what 2 think. in a way, i kind of felt like somebody had my schedule for the day. i was up around 6am. not knowing, or even sure what's up, jst stayed in the room trying to catch up with my blog writing. after a while, decided to walk downstair to check things out, guess what? some breakfast was prepared, yeach.....according to the host, which is y's sister's husband, that is the typical breakfast; which consist of rice, poached-egg, and corned beef. for me, yeach.....bring it on...i'll eat anything. in between breakfast, talked with peter, uncle larry, and autie freya. here we go, first round of 'interviews'. hahahhaaa.....j/k..........not too bad, jst normal q&a. no big deal. no surprise. quite a bit of expected stuffs. then off to get ready for the day. got to y's parent's place around 8, or maybe 9. another round of interviews, hehehehehe.............tallked a bit with stu and steve around the breakfast table while waiting for y. then, we (me, stu, and y) are off to go around the city for some sightseeing. first impression of the city, oh yeach...jst like home. with traffic, weather, people, surroundings, streets, roads, houses, etc. felt like i'm home already. stu and i got some lunch in mall called landmark (hopefully that spells rite). we had some bk, oh well....some american stuff, but i had rice. hahhaaha.........along the way, got a chance to talk to stu about all the stuffs that he went thru until now; in terms of preparation, things that he's doing, planning, past, future, family things, etc.
after a while having to go round and round the many different cities and suburbs of the area, we got back to yl's place around 5-ish in the afternoon. i thought i was done for the day, but guess what? hv to prepare again for more festivities at nite. obviously, there are some b'day celebration for auntie dinah and uncle larry at y's parent's place. great gathering, great food, great people. so here we go interview session #1673.....hahahah...........j/k......got a chance to meet a lot more new people of y's relatives. ok let's see if i can remember; auntie bessy, auntie francis, uncle phillip, bro mike, evi (steve's wife), kids of the brother and sisters of y, omg, i guess that's all i can really remember. i did remember that some of the people that i met are parent of the people that i met earlier in the year thruout the year. oh well....sorry, y'all...
ok, so, here are some of the dish that i had at the party, that i can remember in terms of name. i had some kare-kare, ribs, salmon (three kind of them, cooked differently), black rice with squid, bbq chicken, empenada, rambutan, sticky rice, mango, and u know what, well...that is all i can remember. oh well....
so thruout the nite, basically, i talked to many different kind of people, about many different kind of stuffs, u know, some basic questions in family interview informal session. all in all, i think all the things that i went thru for the nite was understandable. i didn't mind, didn't really have any problem with any of it. i was up for it, no complaint, i was just trying to enjoy the surroundings. at the same time, i really thought everybody were making things quite not as hard for me. like stu said earlier in the day, obviously, i jst remembered that i did get some training during my much younger days back home. just remember that i was the kid that always went around with my mom and dad meeting all kinds of relative all over the place. i was the kid that went with my parent to many event to meet people. so yeach, i did get some training in terms of how to relate and communicate with people. it was a gift that GOD gave me and it something that HE helped me developed thruout my life.
