Birthday
It's mum's birthday today but somehow everything that i had planned had fallen through. Not that she had seen through my act of ignorance but more of, she thought that i had really forgotten that today is her birth day. Called her up awhile ago and asked her what do i do with my lunch and dinner since she is going to stay at grandma's place the whole day. Obviously my tone was irritated coz i went to look for the perfect cake for her (though it didn't take me much time coz i only wanted to get an Angie's Choice cake for her), msged my bro using Karen's hp (that risk was too big coz he might just give mum the number if mum asked him how i contacted him bout my plans for her birthday, but that was a risk i had to take) and told him to cancel all plans to go out tonight coz the best dinner would be for us to cook for her. Bro was unhappy but he had no choice. We all know what mum is like.
At the end of the day, i just wanted to give her a perfect birthday but now, i end up being the maid, cleaning the house, hanging and folding the clothes. I wanted to make her breakfast. I wanted to do so many things for her today. I even wanted to get her a huge bouquet of lilies and birds of paradise. Maybe i shouldn't have planned anything. WTF!!
When questioned, she said she waked me up a few times. I only heard her call me twice. First time round was she asked me if i wanted to go to grandma's place, i fell back to sleep. The second time was her giving me instructions for the day. I didn't care to listen.
You know what?? i have decided that the best birthday gift for her from me from now on till eternity will be just an angbao. i don't need prior planning for that and i can just prepare it before i see her in the day or before i go home to visit her (that's if i get married or for some reason i moved out of the house). I'll be saved from all these trouble. @#$%
