..:: happy birthday!!! ::..

i am actually very sleepy now.

today woke up at about 1.30pm. yes. 1.30PM. finally had my much needed sleep. felt so fresh when i woke up. immediately got ready to head to the hospital. went to see nenek. had my lunch first since i still had time. papa was supposed to send me there but in the end he gave me taxi money saying the cab fare would cost just as much as him goin in and out of the carpark. haha. so i got $50!! haha. he asked me to give him back the change when i come home. as if that EVER happens. heh.

cab fare to nuh from home was $7.

i bought nenek flowers, $33.

i bought myself chocolates, $2.

hehe. so by right, i should give him back $8 right...haha. he never saw it. bleargh!

anyway, went to see nenek. she looks so sad. i can't imagine how she must feel losing a leg. though she is old [her estimated age is 80++], she's still active. walkin around the house on her own [but with the help of a walker]. she could do most of her stuff on her own. ever since the leg injury, she kinda got restricted but could still walk around. but she couldn't sleep cos her leg will hurt real bad and she'd start to cry. you see, she has diabetes. as a result, the injury which many had thought to be just a minor one turned out to be gangrene. thus the need for amputation. now she has so many thoughts running through her mind.

when khai's uncle asked what was she thinking about, the first thing she said was "who's going to take care of me now". how sad is that? not only that, she can't [and won't] eat cos she feels very nauseous. she just took half a spoonful of porridge and she couldn't keep it down. in the end she only had 1 slice of honeydew. and the pain from the surgery is getting to her now. gosh. it was so sad to see her in that state. she used to laugh whenever anyone told a joke. she could even tell US jokes. now, she just sits there and drifts in and out of sleep. she even started asking why did THIS have to happen to her. gosh. that was really heart-breaking.

brought back so many memories of when my mom was sick and found out she didn't have much time left.....

as most of you know me and dayah have not been on talking terms for quite a while now. well, i am happy to say that we have finally started talking. yeayness. i really missed talking to her. honestly, from the heart. i'm glad that it's all over. it was a little awkward at first, but after a while we were back to normal. or at least i thought so. just hope that she was just as happy as i was. heh. *you will always be the little sister i wish i had. even when we're bitchy.*

at about 7+pm, papa came to fetch me. had a dinner with the aunts and cousins. celebrated aunty josephine's 59th birthday! got to meet up with all my cousins again!! the highlight of it all!! we had dinner at this seafood place at telok blangah. i think the name was Gillman's seafood something-something. haha. we so got lost on the way there. i told my dad we had to u-turn at labrador park and turn left after the SP sub-station. my dad, so clever make u-turn at keppel club. haha. he kept thinking that was labrador park. we went round THREE freaking times. and there was a jam so he was super grouchy! haha. finally called martin and told him we were lost, he told us we supposed to make a u-turn after labrador park at alexandra road. duh. then my dad realised that he was turning at the wrong place. doink.

the food there was alright la. not really THAT fantastic. east coast seafood is much better. i didn't eat much. too lazy to attack the crabs. only had ONE prawn. wasn't satisfied. haha. but i really had good fun with my lovely cousin Mel. wee!! i LOVE her so much!! and it wouldn't be a family gathering without martin making fun of me! haha. such an arse he is! but what was great was seeing that selvan and lynette are much better now and selvan actually served her some of the dishes. that was great. so good to see them back to normal again. selvan is also another arse. sheesh.

jeremy. haha. didn't even know that i quit my previous job! haha. ketinggalan zaman! nyeh. as usual, conversations with him are incredibly serious. haha. we always talk about work, marriage, the latest news and..well...you know la what i mean.. but i always love talking to him.

I LOVE MY COUSINS!!

oh, and martin's kids. feel like slapping all of them. so cute!! can't stand that matthew. talk and talk and talk non-stop about god knows what. my dad was so entertained! haha. and si max. gosh. he is such a sweety-pie. adorable. geram aku. and megan. she cries for like 2 minutes then goes back to sleep. wow. girls are so different.

after dinner papa wanted to buy everyone coffee so we headed to china square. when we reached there, realized the stall is no longer there. hahaha. so we headed to lau pa sat. and since i was still hungry, i ordered satay. haha. 40 sticks ok!! but i only had like 10? i think so. so don't fall off your seat just yet ok. i'm not THAT gelojoh. pfft.

wow. i really had a good time with my family. i love them all. especially my sMeLly. heh.
