16 years ago on Mother’s Day, I got checked in to the delivery suite at NUH bcos my gum wouldn’t stop bleeding and my BP shot sky high. Then contractions started and the rest is history.
Nana always lament that her bday falls right smack of exams. Hmmm.. if she wasn’t so eager to meet the world and stayed to full term, she would have the June holidays to enjoy her bday. #notmyfault
This year, her bday would have been after all the WAs but she fell sick for an entire week and she had to retake all the WAs that she missed right after her bday. She said that the teachers whacked her with 3 WAs yday. So nice of them.
I thought I was quite nice already but I am sure Nana disagreed. I didn’t at all push her at all to do her Chinese practice when she was sick. We sort of “negotiated” and she completed 1 full Chinese P1 the 1st thing on her bday so that her tutor can mark during yday’s tuition. During the weekend, she went to youth, dinner, church and lunch and I didn’t nag. I am so nice.
Bday celebration was a simple affair. It overshadowed Mother’s Day. Chey. We had a family dinner at a Korean restaurant.
We wanted to celebrate at the ice cream place beside but everybody was there to eat ice cream and both joints were super crowded. Some of us managed to have some ice cream.
Bcos Nana didn’t have any cake to celebrate her bday, ah Kim was so nice to source and tabao a piece for her.
Happy bday Nana. This is a difficult year but we will get there somehow. May God continue to lead you and bless you with a wonderful life. Let’s blow some candles and eat some cake this weekend and yes, you can have your celebration with your friends during the June holiday. For the next 2 weeks, I am really sorry that you do have to eat and breathe Chinese everyday. I love you. Muaks.
