My 45th Birthday

13.4.14 - It's 11:45pm now and I am penning this in a very good mood.

My gal wished me the best birthday ever in her FB posting and indeed it was the best and a memorabel one too.  Memorable because of my boy.  I was at awe and flattered when I received a medal from him for being the best mother in the world and I am actually the champion, gosh! I never thought my boy will think highly of me.  Regardless of how strict I was on him and gave him tough times, I still get his appreciation. I am so happy for myself and my boy.  My boy has a very high EQ and he is a capable boy. As for my gal, I always have a soft spot for her, because we are both females and have common thoughts on most things.

Yesterday it was my birthday and it was also the Cross Country Run event for my kids at the Lake Garden.  Initially TH and I thought we will jog with them in the event but on the day before, our 16 year old Whirlpool washing machine broke down and there was no more spare part for an old junk like it. And coincidentally I saw in The Star about the ongoing Bosch clearance sale in Shah Alam.  Since a new washing machine is urgently required, we wasted no time but to head out there for a good buy.  We ended up with a high end washing machine and also a built in dishwasher.

Then, we picked the kids up from Lake Garden.  My boy was aiming for top 20 placing in the run.  So when we ask him how did he fare.  He said he didnt make it but he got medals for me!! Surprise, it was my birthday gifts. My boy wrote, I am the best mother in the world and gave me a champion salutation.  My gal also wrote I am the best mother ever.  It was so sweet of them.  I was flattered and very happy.

Then, we headed down to Imbi to buy my birthday cake at Levaine, a French bakery.  I chose a mango layer cake for a change this year instead of the chocolate cake most times.  Then we enjoyed lunch at nearby famous Ipoh Chicken Ho fun.  By the way, JW friend, S.Xuan was with us as we offered her a lift home.  When we reached home, we waited for the Bosch items to come.  They came late and TH and the kids were excited. They helped to install and clean up the machine.  In no time, we all surrounded the machine for testing out.  The high end machine lit up beautifully with modern technology called IDOS, intelligent dosage system.  I can put up to 8kg load of laudry, 3kg more than before. The machine will weigh the load and automatically determine how much detergent and water needed for the wash.

Well, after the excitement we celebrated my birthday withcake cutting and took many memorable shots, simply beautiful. Everyone was in a joyous mood. After the celebration, we were all still very much awake and alive though it was late.  So, everyone agreed to watch the Piranha movie and eventually went to bed at 1am.

Today, we went to the Curve and had a good session of karaoke at Red Box.  We enjoyed ourselves very much.  Everyone took turn to sing and nobody was bored and left out.  I felt so contented listening to my kids rendering songs of their choices and in their very own unique way. I will never get tired of hearing my boy sing Jay Chou songs. The kids had a blast and me too at the thought of knowing that my family especially TH were there singing because of me.  I am so thankful.  Then, we went for a show, Rio 2.It was entertaining though TH dozed off for a short while due to too much singing in the show.  Anyway, I am on cloud nine today because I had my family with me on this great day.

Before the show, we split up.  The kids spent some time at the bookstore while TH accompanied me to Vista to make appointment for my Lasik surgery next week.  I am determined to do it after few days of consideration.  It's now or never.

Then we met up for the show.  After the show, we had dinner at Dragon I as TH was looking forward to enjoy their promotion of $1 for a soya sauce chicken at a minimum 3 pax dining in.  We truly enjoyed our dinner and left for home.  JW ironed the school uniform before calling it a day.  My boy bought a cover for his handphone at the Curve and he is so like me, so choosy. Good to have some expectation.
