I know I shouldn't, but I do. My niece melts my heart all the time! Maybe its cos she's a girl, or maybe she is just the really affectionate type. I got a call from her tonight on my mobile. Basically she wanted to tell me that she loves me. Why? Yesterday she went to some festival where they had some bellydancers performing. In 2004 when I went to Turkey, I bought her a belly dancing costume. When she came to Sydney for a visit, I took her to my belly dancing class. Of course without me there, the costume got shoved to the back of the wardrobe. But after the performance she saw, she was so inspired, she went home and grabbed her costume out to dance.

She said to her mummy, and these are her exact words (In a thick Singaporean accent):

"Mummeeeee....I am so luckeeey to have an Aunteeeey that loves me so much that she buys me a beautiful costume so I can daaaaaaance."

When my sister told me that, I felt tears come to my eyes. Awwwwwwwww shes so cute!!!!!!!!!!!
