    HAPPY 57TH BIRTHDAY TO MY DADDY!

    its his big day and was granted two days leave,
    so i had to travel to portsdown myself.
    that dreadful 5.50am!
    however i am proud to say: i am on time!
    the new alarm tone works perfectly for me,
    and with that morning call from seng how,
    there were totally no reason to be late.

    at work, i wished time would fast forward to 5.45pm,
    so i can rush home to meet mama.
    (mama= paternal grandmother)
    daddy should be picking her up from her place by now.
    like recent past years, she would join us for dinner and cake cutting,
    stay over for a night and do a lot of catching up with my parents.
    we may not talk a lot, simply because i cannot speak hokkien,
    but i miss her a lot.
    she will be happy to know my knee has recovered,
    although it will be scarred.

    it was a fine day at work.
    soon it was 5.45pm and i met Joel on bus 74 to home.
    guys simply has no patience,
    they become so whinny when you make them wait just a little longer.
    Joel was really moody because he was tired,
    but could not catch a wink of sleep,
    so we watched Madagascar 2 on his mac book!
    this movie is worth 5 thumbs up!
    i was trying to contain my laughter in the moody ambiance.
    (you know, Singaporeans are usually emotionless in the bus)
    the jokes were damn cranky and all made sense!

    seriously the ride was really long,
    the movie reaches its climate when i was about to alight the bus.
    my eyes was glued to the screen,
    thankfully Joel was alert even though he dozed off.

    it was disappointment when i got home,
    i did not see mama's slippers at the door.
    mummy explained that she has other important matters to attend to.
    it was a pity she cannot join us.

    daddy drove us to Seletar Hills Road,
    and we had a good Chinese style feast!
    i have a few favourites.
    appetizer was good, especially authentic hainanese chicken slice.
    the chili sauce was excellent match with it, spicy yet manageable!
    Kong Ba Bao was great, fattening of course but the savoury gravy made up for it.
    the best was the fresh D24 durian pudding,
    every spoonful was heavenly, so smooth it melts in the mouth!

    we had our fill and headed home.
    a fruit cake sits in the fridge, which i more or less expected it.
    mummy favourite buy; you never go wrong with that!
    actually i feel sick of it already,
    just like we had ice cream cakes for daddy, mummy, Joel and myself,
    and for two conservative years,
    i will never want that again, period.




    mummy's 54th is in a few days time.
    daddy suggested Sakura Int'l Buffet,
    but what about cake?
    i seriously need a healthier choice cake.
