last sunday was happy papa's day. perhaps you would be wondering how my family actually spent that day? did we have a splendid day? did we splurge my papa with lots of gifts and surprises? did we hug and kiss papa? did we tell papa how much we love him? did we thank papa for providing us with a lovely live? the answers to all the mentioned questions were NO. so sad but true. in fact we went to muar, johore so that mii could purchase fish as we missed eating fresh fish. it's been bout a month since we had fish as a dish for lunch or dinner when we used to have them every day back in malacca.
papa was kind of disappointed as he didn't have a grand celebration at all. he was expressing his disappointment while driving to malacca to pick up kerry and keith before heading to muar. evelyn and karen didn't tag along. hence i was left all alone to cheer him up besides mii. i assured him that he would get a celebration after i joined the working force and next year it would be an unforgettable day for him. i told him that we could still celebrate it at a later date this year. mii asked me to send an sms to papa and write down meaningful words for him.
my parents went to the market to purchase the fish but we didn't tag along. instead mii suggested tht papa drop us at THE STORE shopping mall. she knew that i couldn't stand the smell of fish and the wet place. before entering into the mall, the couples and me went to a famous stall for desserts and fried fishcakes,etc. we were extremely happy as it's been years since we last visited there. plus it's keith's first visit!
the wait made me felt like slapping a couple though. no, i'm not a violent person but how could the couple take their own sweet time to finish their almost empty bowls of desserts and plate of fried food when there were lots of customers waiting for the tables? they were being totally inconsiderate and thus rude. we waited for their table as we arrived earlier than other people and the couple looked as if they could finish the food in 5 minutes. a wrong decision indeed when that RUDE couple took their own sweet time. we should have shared tables with another couple instead. the place was taken by another family before we could reach that table. guess what people? there were two other tables, a family and a couple whose food only reached much later but they left that place before the RUDE couples DID! omg, i felt like trashing the ah beng and ah lian at that moment. oh ya, did i mention that i had bitch slapped the both of them in my mind? i seldom do this but they were too much. totally selfish and inconsiderate. to all guys out there who might be thinking that i was pissed off at that moment because i was having my pms, you were wrong!
on a happier note, we actually met my fourth aunt in popular bookstore. we had lots of time to kill before dinner. i thought bookstore would be a good place to spend our time beneficially. apparently my aunt saw kerry first as she was standing near the entrance. kerry told her where i was and she walked towards my direction. she gave me a shock as she was calling my chinese name including my surname out loud from behind. for the moment i thought i was back in high school. my mind raced really fast, going through the database in my brain to search for possible match but of course to no avail as i couldn't think of anyone who would call me by my chinese name in muar. my coursemates would not do that as one of the reasons why they call me by my english name was they couldn't pronounce my name. not that it's difficult to pronounce but they just couldn't pronounce it properly.
my aunt kind of interrogated me bout whether we dropped by at granma's place. erm, we didn't... oops, we were busted! my aunt laughed and teasingly telling me that we were in trouble. i was really happy to see her too. oh ya, i saw her second son, chia wei too. he's a scholarship student in singapore and we hadn't seen each other since years ago. i couldn't even recognise him as he's now really thin and dark. he used to be that shorty but now he's quite tall. if he walked in the street, i wouldn't know he's actually my cuzzie. guessed he was shocked to see how we changed too. finally, my fourth aunt met kerry's bf, keith. we bid farewell to her after getting mii's call. mii purposely made us bring her to meet her sis after we told her bout our encounter.
after papa and mii reached that area, we headed for dinner. it's duck rice. the uncle was really strong as he actually transported the rice, braised ducks and other food to his stall by pedalling the bicycle, erm no, what do you call that vehicle that looks like a bicycle but it has 5wheels, can be used to carry things and usually used by stall owners to carry their things to stall location? the food was super duper delicious and cheap! dad was craving for that duck rice and willing to wait for him to set up his stall with his family. that's how determined my dad is when there's delicious food!
in a nutshell, the journey was fun and tiring. as usual, i slept all the way through the whole journey and only woke up to use the washroom. *covers face*
p/s: i didn't send anything to my dad as i couldn't think of what to say to him though i have lots of things which i want to tell him. guess expressing my love to him is really tough at this point in time. perhaps i will do it one fine day and that day will come soon as i don't want to be regret for not telling how much i love and appreciate what he has done for me!Labels: lil chatty chat, lil party princess
