Happy Wesak Day

Happy Wesak Day my friends... :)

My day started off very well this morning, ermm.. this afternoon actually. Cause i woke only at 12:00... :p It has been quite sometime since I last slumbered till noon. Its a luxury! As you all know, have been quite busy lately with all the wedding prep. But dont worry. It's all done now. Thank god i've a super maid-of-honour. She was so kind to come by yesterday and spend the whole afternoon to go thru with me all the details. And I am not gonna do anything anymore from wed onwards till the big day comes. Tomorrow i still need to go see the florist (again..damn flowers) and the musicians. After these, I just wanna sleep, relax, massage, mani & pedi.... anyone wanna company me??? hehehe..

Ok, back to Wesak Day. Since my mom's heart attack last year, I've told myself that I must offer my thanksgiving come every Wesak. And this year, it is with no exception. Harrison & I went to the Siam Temple along Jalan Gasing (the same one i went to last year) this afternoon. It was so crowded. We have to park our car quite a distance away. There were many devotees. Some waiting to be blessed, some waiting to say their prayers and offer flowers & joss-sticks.

We both bought a bunch of flowers and some joss-sticks, said our prayers, lighted an oil lamp, waited for our turn to be blessed by a monk and left after that. Last year, I offered a robe to a monk & lighted an oil lamp as thanksgiving for my mom's life. This year, I pledged to be vegetarian for a week starting from tomorrow to thank for everything that has been blessed upon me which also include my mom. :) Why only starting tomorrow? Cause a friend already arranged for dinner this evening... not nice to ffk mah.. betul?

Oh, also managed to peep over the wall & snap some photos of Harrison's alma mater! La Salle Boys' School (the noti boys school)....hehehe

After the temple, we decided to just stay home to chill & relax. For the past few weeks, we are hardly home. We are always out delivering invites everywhere or buying this, buying that. Damn tiring. So, finally, home sweet home. Harrison decided to watch 'Ah Long Pte Ltd' while I decided to sew one more curtain from the fabric I just bought last night after searching for it hi & lo for the last few weeks. The show were hilarious.... we both laugh till our hearts out (eventhough it's the second time I am watching it). Luckily, my curtain still able to turn out quite alright despite laughing so hard.

Swee or not? Very swee right????? :D I also think so lor... leng leng ahhh.....

It's already 6+pm by time the show & my sewing finished. So we quickly get ready for dinner as we are having it with our usual gang. A friend took a very big effort to organise a makan session together despite of all our hectic schedules cause she has got some fresh fishes & scallops all the way from Tawau to share. It was sooo..... yummy! Love it! (Thanks ya....! When is the next round?) hehehe.... the food is so yummy and the settings is so heart warming that i forgot to snap a photo.... sigh....! (Note: Must remember next time.)

These days, with everyone having their own little family, have their own things to do.... it is very difficut to get everyone together to enjoy a good meal. So today is very special. Besides the good food, it's nice to just sit there, observe and absorb all the happy 'chi'. Haizz... so nice. :D The kids has certainly grown much taller too since the last time I saw them. Remember how friends of our parents would always comment "small small see until u big"... we will just nod & smile and never really understand the sentiments behind that statement? The friendship. Now I know how that feels. They were once like us. Someday, when all my aya-godchildren are all grown up, I am sure I would say the exact same thing....'sai sai tei tou le tai'..... ya da ya da ya da....... hehehehe....

All happy things must always come to an end. My happiness was abruptly cut short when my mom buzzed me. She told me that she had a fight with her sis. (i.e. my aunty herein referred to as no.3). Headache. Let me give u a short history of no.3. She is my mom younger sis. She is always findng faults with us and dont ask me why. I dont know. This is not the first time and i am getting pretty tired of it all.

My mom has been pretty patience with her all these while, taking in her nonsence. This time round, she purposely accused my mom of something which is not true to pick a fight. Can you imagine that? I am so tired of it all that I decided to give her a call and confront her once and for all. I've been keeping quiet all these while out of respect. I just cant take it any longer... my killer tougue need to be unleashed! And I did just that.

Anyway, her picking a fight this time round has long been anticipated. We already expected her to create another drama before my wedding. She hate it when things goes well for me. She will pop a champagne if I screwed up my life. I am not exaggerating. She is like that. So I am not afraid to admit that the feeling is mutual. Come on... after so many years of torturing, if not mutual also will be mutual la....

Whenever there is something happy occasion within OUR family, meaning mine, be it we went for a holiday, or we won some prizes or we did something fun & interesting, she will surely create some drama... or she will show her unhappy face.. lols... I dont understand the rationale behind it and I can only conclude that she is afterall a bitter little old lady that just dont like it when others are happy & better off than her. Point is, we are not. We are just being we. It's just her own perception that is boggling pea size mind.

Phew! It definately does feel much better after voicing it all out at her rather than bottling it all up inside. Anyway, I need to go rest my tired mind now. Luckily I've a really good & happy time for 80% of the day today. Otherwise sure not enough to fight off this evil witch.

Nite nite & sweet dreams. :)
