On the day of her bday, I asked Nana if she knew what happened on that day 15 years ago. "You went through a lot of pain?" Yes, but more so, she disturbed my mothers' day lunch. Lol. Her birth story was a dramatic one. Cue; read back my blog.
This year, her bday fell on a Friday. Some of her youth friends wanted to surprise her. They said that she was feeling down bcos she couldn't go out in her cast? Is it? She had HBL and was out for lunch with a netball mate in the afternoon, followed by maths physical tuition in the evening. She wasn't even home lor, the cast cannot stop her.
Anyway, we went to pick her from Maths tuition at 7pm. She was indeed feeling lousy bcos A maths is so hard. Ikr. Just when she was sulking in the car and we were about to drive off, she saw her youth friends. Heng ah, we almost left.
Her mood lifted instantly. We gave them time for a drink. I was telling Daddy Lim that this is the start of the age where friends will bring more joy and comfort than parents. Her youths are so nice to drop the surprise visit.
They bought her macarons and balloon too.
Bcos it was the Princess' bday, she made the call on where to have dinner. She said that she wanted good food, which in our family lingo basically means some restaurant. We decided on Hoho, the Korean restaurant that we frequent.
Then, we went for round 2. What is a bday without a cake? We had a mini one bcos too full. Even the heart was full. Lol.
We also took a moment to remember who made this day possible by bringing this yoing lady onto earth. Without us, without her leh.
The night ended nicely; the A mtahs woes tentatively forgotten.
Dear baby,
Thank you for growing up so fine. I am glad that you are having a great time and are surrounded by great friends, who gave you plenty of love. I am amazed at the number of IG HBD greetings that you have got. God has blessed you abundantly and I prayed that He would continue to do so.
Don't keep yourself busy to the brim, don't be so hard on yourself sometimes. It is part of growing up.
Continue to love God, to work hard and do things that you love. Just remember to save some time for your family. Hoho.
I love you so much. I may sometimes have what look like unrealistically high expectation on you, simply bcos I think you can do it. Thank you for sharing your life and thoughts with me. I really feel very loved in those moments.
Mummy
