Doesn't seem like much, does it? I dug in happily, and it was so yummy! Oh, before that, when the waitress dribbled the gravy on our hamburgers, we were supposed to hold up the napkins to shield ourselves from the splatter of oil. I've never seen that in Singapore before, but apparently everyone there did that! Judging from the number of oil splots that appeared on the napkin, it was just as well. I certainly didn't want all that on my nice new dress!

As I was eating, I was looking around, and I soon realised that what most people order is different from us. Their portions are half ours, ie they only have two hamburgers. Even the guy at the table next to ours ordered that. Upon realising that, I was rather horrified. I thought four was the norm, but apparently not! ... And I ate up every single morsel. Oh well, at least my uncle was happy that I could finish my food. :)

Since my uncle works near where I stay, he's intending to try to meet me for dinner at least once a month (I think), and I've got an invitation to go to his house and stay over during the new year period! I kinda want to meet my three cousins whom I haven't seen in over ten years. Yet much as I want to meet them, I have a feeling that we won't have much to say when we finally do meet. Hopefully they've all matured and won't bully me anymore. =x

I think it's sweet how my uncle was looking out for my well-being, wanting to ensure I stay warm (most people seem to be like that. Maybe it's because I'm from sunny Singapore, and perhaps more susceptible to the cold?). I also mentioned that I love desserts, and when we were nearly at the station I noticed he kept craning his neck to look at something. Apparently he wanted to buy shuu cream for me to bring back to my dorm to eat! I felt self-conscious spending his money though, especially after he bought me clothes and dinner, so I fibbed that my refrigerator's too full to put in anything else. So we're going to eat yummy dessert together at Shibuya next time. Not much difference huh.

Before we parted ways at the train station, he took out a ticket from his pocket - he bought it for me while he was waiting for me to arrive! That was the ultimate sweet thing to do, I think! I'm in a goooood mood. It is wonderful to have family in Japan! <3
