Singapore / Malaysia Trip and the other 3 Weddings!

The trip back home to Singapore / Malaysia this time round was definitely a more eventful one and I was sure happy to be able to spend Christmas with my family. Christmas was always a significant celebration in our household since I was young and mum was certainly elated that I was able to go to church with her.

The main purpose of the trip back this time was for the 'other 3 weddings', well sort of. The in-laws didn't want to hold anything in Singapore, but we did have a meal to meet the families of both sides. The hubby's mum and dad's sides apparently are too huge to consolidate into one event, so we had two separate luncheons in Singapore. And I'll be blogging about our Malaysia wedding on our wedding blog.

And for the first time in our relationship, I finally stayed at the hubby's place. I mean of course that should be the norm since we are officially married now. But it was really weird at first because in the past I have never stepped foot in their house. In the end it turned out alright and the parents-in-law were really nice and accommodating. And so was his old grandmother who had dementia, but she was ever so happy to see us.

Even though we are married now, I still do go away for a few days during the trip to stay with my parents. I am my parent's only daughter and they also only get to see me like once a year or so. That's why I treasure the time with them every time I go back back home. Of course we do miss the other family and friends too. Till the next time we return, hopefully we'll be bringing our little bundle of joy with us then.
