A Peek at Orchard Road Lightings

Rebecca’s parents invited me for dinner at Parkway Thai Restaurant at Centrepoint this evening. It was a rather alright dinner atmosphere with the inclusion of my outsider presence & the food was average.

After dinner, we took some time to stroll along Orchard Road, admiring the Christmas lightings & decorations. It was a very good time spent, especially since this is my first time strolling along Orchard Road with Rebecca’s family, viewing the Christmas lights!

Uncle John was rather amusing… Every once in awhile, he would take out his digital camera to take photos & video clips of us walking, chatting, admiring & soaking ourselves in the mood of the coming Christmas. I was surprised to see myself appear in most of the photos & video clips… wondering to myself if I was the ‘odd-one-out’, since I wasn’t part of their family. But Rebecca reassured me that her family members were comfortable with me around.

Recently, I have been occasionally invited into Rebecca’s house to sit & interact with her family members whenever I send her home. Sometimes after chatting awhile, I don’t really know what next to say. In fact, I’m very thankful for Amos because if not for him, the atmosphere there won’t be as fascinating & amusing. Amos really has a quick mind & can easily rattle off creative, astonishing & amusing comments about people & things. I’m just so amazed by him!

Evelyn has always recently become more open in terms of her behavior at home. In the past, she tends to answer the phone in a sweet voice & talking politely when I’m at her home. Recently, she has become more open & daring… speaking loudly & sometimes even shouting at the top of her voice in the kitchen that makes her voice echo thunderously throughout the living room…

Tonight, she even asked Amos & later on, her Dad to take photo of her posing next to this lingerie-clad woman in a bus-stop ad poster. That woman looked horrendously ugly & I think that’s why Evelyn found it thrilling to take photo while standing next to this ugly witch-looking female. *Laugh*… I’m glad she’s more open nowadays… hopefully it’s a sign of her getting more used to me being around. Thank God!
