Mom's day.

We had a great 8 course chinese dinner for mother's day celebration at Ipoh the last week, the night before the blackout day.

The dinner was attended with all the closer aunts and the immediate family of my in-laws, 14 of us altogether, big and small. The evening was filled with laughter and joy, I felt that myself too but most likely because of the excitement of the coming election and the possible chance of a change, a great change.

The food was absolutely great.

And today is the actual Mom's Day. My dad is here with me since last week and we took him to Chillis last night also to celebrate his birthday as well. I could see he was enjoying the food so much, I feel so bad that I couldn't feed him luxuriously more often than not. But he's such a great dad, he doesn't complain and he absolutely not demanding for more. He's growing old now, his movements are getting slower and his hearing is also not as good, but he's always smiling and helping me when I ask him to.

I called my mom to come over, but she's happy to be in Ipoh for now, playing mahjong with my inlaws. I don't like to force her, I prefer she does what she feels like doing.

Today, we slept till late in the morning and had a late breakfast. Then we came back home and did some revision. At 4, we went out to find a barber for the kids. I could cut their hair, but I find it too troublesome to clean up the mess after that. We stumbled into a barber who charges RM6 for children below 12, and for korkor, he didn't quite believe he's still 12 (technically he's still is, as his birthday is not here yet), and the barber asked for RM7. I jumped for it straight away, it was such a steal!

Oh, for mom's day, the kids hugged me (after I asked). It was special since getting a hug from korkor these days is so darn difficult.
