dreams!!

We have a lot of reasons why Rob and I decided to live in Japan for 6 months. Today I felt I have achieved one of them.

As some of you know, my older sister Nana and I have never really been close. We are different in many ways. We have never been away together nor spent a lot of time in each other’s company and talked about boyfriends or other girl talk. It has not been like Lemone, Fiona or Elaine, who talk with their sisters and do things together. I would not have chosen my sister as my maid of honour even if she had been able to come to my wedding.

I was hoping I could fill the gap between my sister and me. I just wanted to do normal sisterly things like going shopping, going to café to chat and to talk about whatever.
It is with great happiness that I can tell you that I have already achieved all of these dreams. I will keep spending time with my sister doing sisterly things and hopefully we can keep in touch more frequently after I go back to Australia.

My family is well. They are very happy to have us and have been very accepting. My niece went to her primary school for orientation today. In Japan, the school year starts in April and there are no Preps so she will be in grade1 in April. She is very excited about it! Even though she is only my niece, not my daughter, I am thinking of going to the school and telling them she is gifted and talented and should be put in an accelerated class!! What do you think??
