Double Celebration

Last Sunday 16th May was both my mum's & Ivy's hubby, Bernard's (aka Mr Dao You=tour guide :P)Birthday. So I met with my two buddies last Thursday to have an early celebration. I bought Bernard a key pouch, chosen with the help his wifey. :) Glad he liked it. The new set meal @Delifrance was good. However, I especially enjoyed the dessert- Banana Crumble...it was absolutely delicious. With vanilla ice-cream....ooooooowwww...Heaven! :D

Sunday itself, I bought my 'Landlord' (my mother) a cake from Four Leaves. Ok Now, this is what I addressed my mother-Landlord. 房东太太. Let me explain why I nicknamed my mother that. Coz I realized even as I grow up, having much personal space is deemed rather impossible @home...or should I say my mother's house. There're rules & regulations to follow. I slowly find that as if I'm the tenant & she's the Landlord. & I must abide to the rules that she set. I'm just the tenant who gives her monthly rental $$$ to occupy a pathetic room. :-S How sad can that be. Now I can fully understand why so many grown-up single adults like me, yearning to have own place of our own. Some or should I say quite a considerable number of people because of this reason, 'escaped' thru their parents' homes thru marriage, thinking that its the best way to get a place of their own, which sometimes ended up in somehow, badly.

Ok, back to the celebration. I bought a cake for my 'Landlord'. & we had family dinner, went to Bukit Panjang Plaza. The food was average. Was thinking to go Ichiban Sushi but was way too crowded so in the end settled in another Japanese Restaurant. & after that, cake cutting & birthday song singing back @our place. The boys as usual were excited & they mischieviously tried to blow out the candles when I just lighted them. Boys. :O

"Landlord" looked contented of her birthday celebration coz poor her, she could only eat selective food recently coz of the discomfort inside her mouth gums. Hope she'll be well soon.
