05 November 2006 - Mother Birthday

tonite we had dinner with mother, brother and serene (bro's gf). we went to hougang mall to eat at the Soup Restaurant or whatever it's called. we got 5 n a half person but ordered a 4 person package. btw that half person is our gal. quite full although it's only for 4 person and mother bought a cup of ice-cream for our gal to eat. she is really treating our gal very well, even gave her $10 when we were going home. it was really nice to have dinner together but someone is missing, my father. i wonder if our gal is remember how he looks like. my father is always busy "working" overseas and neglects the family and my mother. but i was quite disappointed with myself too because when i looked at mother, she seems quite lonely due to the fact that we moved too far away from her. come to think of it, if given a choice, i think we would want to choose to take up new flats at Farrer Park. it's nearer to our workplace, to mother's house, to grandma's house and most importantly, near to MRT station.

initially we did not buy anything for mother but dear insisted. so she walked away pretending to withdraw money and bought a bag for her. mother also bought something for our gal, as usual and our gal was delighted.
