Saturday - went to shangri-la residence for a birthday accompanying mom this afternoon. The weather was a killer for me.. it was pretty awkward at first(for me) after my mom started talking to about asia and travelling; pretty random stuff and i was like 'umm?'People present were all either expat adults i.e. italians, french or young kids. Cute, but seriously no one i could really talk to. I went alone up to their house which was really nice with huge paintings and neutrals and almost lost my way. I liked that it seemed very foresty though, reminded me of my uncle's place. Okay so this week my brother kept emphasizing the pride he got from seeing me down my first alcohol.. not. His friend came over so he proposed that i try that liquor out. It was more like a two sips of Martel mixed with soft drinks followed by a lot of water. Not my cup of tea. I'm enjoying this break, can't imagine when school starts and work starts piling..
