Finally, the second post

Its been 2 weeks since my last post, never thought I actually able to come this far.

Its been a somewhat busy 2 weeks. Not because I'm on reservists now, but rather the fact that my niece has come over for a short stay.

Its has always been a frazzled battle to contain the almost 4 year old. My poor father just gave up after one day at the zoo. He took 3 days off to bring my niece around, but he surrendered after the first day.

My entire family had a lot of problems communicating with her. My niece only speaks german and a hint of finnish. Luckily for the poor girl, we only constrained ourselves to talk to her in english only. But she's also versed in a smattering of hokkien, since my father teased her with phrases like "chia peh peh, hiao poh and sam pat chia bor" ok ok, the sam pat char bor was from me la, but she knows how to fight back using those phrases liao.

Thankfully, the battle is almost over, since my sister-in-law and my niece is returning to Germany next Monday. We would definitely miss the chaos that was running loose in my house. But, we would also gladly take back the peace and quiet the house has always been
