Mission Surprise

We all hid inside the music room, waiting for the folks at my mom's Church to come down from their Hokkien Service for their refreshment. When she was spotted, we brought out the birthday cake, and sang her a birthday song, all 13 of us, children, children-in-law and grandchildren. She just stood there and cried. Awww...

After that, when we managed to find a box of matches to light the candle on the cake (lol), all her Church mates joined in to sing the birthday song again. After she blew out the candle, her Pastor prayed for her.







After all is said and done, and everybody ate the cake, the kueys and the shou taos, we headed to David's pasta stall at Old Airport Road so that he and Pam will not be left out of the gathering.

So Mission Surprise was a success! Haha... It was our way of honouring the superhero of our lives, especially for me and my siblings.

I love my mom. I thank God constantly for her and the things she has done for me and the family. I'm really thankful that God answered my prayer for her salvation. For that, I will be eternally grateful.

PS: Me and 2 nephews were early for the kuey collection so I gave them (and myself) a treat to Eng's wanton mee. Haha... After visiting David's stall, I decided to go for a 3rd round of the wanton mee so I 'ta-pao' a few packs on the way to Mui's. Wah...shiok, man!

Dol-awass-eo • Back I think that’s what it means la. Act cool only. 😂  This picture's got nothing to do with this post, but I happy just want to put it here la...#tb27032023 Context: Today my bff reminded me that a while back she asked me to revive my blog and start writing again. So here I am, sitting in McD thumbing my comeback essay (eee…this word still brings the shivers) which could even be my last since I seriously don’t know where I’m heading with this. But one thing I can say though, the tagline of my blog still stands. Bandaged to be able to leave my heart. Not trying to be emo but it’s the truth. One type of bandage recommended by my bff is called “Manage Myself”. This includes not expecting to change others but managing my own expectation of how others can/should change. I haven’t read my previous posts since I last wrote (Dec 2016) but I vaguely remember one such emo post where I mentioned about less expectation = less pain. I can’t recall what caused me to write somet...

Friendship Inc.

Quite a lot has been running through my head for the past few days, in particularly, the issue of friendship - what it meant to me in the past and what it means to me now. People around me have asked me, "Cynthia, do you have a best friend?" or simply, "Who are you close(r) to?" I don't know what the kind of answers they are expecting out of me and why they would want to know, but everytime such a question is asked, I can't immediately give an answer. It probably sounds kind of strange. I mean, if it's my close or best friend, wouldn't the answer be really straightforward and requires little thought to it? But yet I find that I'm unable to respond. All around me, I find that people are often seeking to be someone's special someone. It doesn't necessarily mean boyfriend-girlfriend kind of relationship. I mean isn't it nice to know that you have a special place in someone's heart, especially if that someone is one whom you find that...
