Today is Father's Day, and my parents coming back from China today! What a coincidence right? I only realised it last night, so both my sisters and I planned the celebration. We decided to buy a 1-kg cake for my dad! So, after my art outing at Singapore River, we went down to the cake shop and bought it for $24... planning to keep it a surprise first... lalala...
Mama and papa bought a lot of things for us!!! I am very touched! Some of the things they bought:
-2 backpacks (nice ones leh =D)
-1 Sling bag, 3 shoulder bags
-Keychain of my chinese surname, liang.
(it's hanging on my pencil case now. =D)
-HARRY POTTER and THE PRISONER OF AZKABAN!
(but disc A is spoilt lar... hiaz. *sob)
-Titbits
-Chinese tea set
-Hair accessories
-2 kakhi pants
-Bedsheets
-Travelling bag
-Wallet for my ate
China goods are really damn cheap lor... Cheap yet durable. It now seems that S'pore is sucking money out of her citizen. Can we just do without GST (Good Service Tax)? It will really make our stay in S'pore a better one.
Just finished dinner... over a tense/exciting/adventurous/hilarious atmosphere! =D They told us about the adventure they had at various stops... woah~ it is really exciting to hear them narrate the scenes again. They seemed to come to live once again! Now, China really seems exciting! Their encounters with several saleswomen & men, their conversation with them was really hilarious! I can't really describe them all here... BUT IT'S DAMN FUNNY!
Haven't had dinner with my parents for one week, the familiar feeling now is really great. Talks over a meal can really build up the bonds between each family member. People out there who haven't been eating with your parents, try to do so. There may not be such chances anymore once you are out of society to work. Cherish your times with your family now... it's now or NEVER.
We still haven't tell papa our surprise yet... hee hee. He's on the phone now. Maybe we will tell him at 9pm.
*To Wu Han: Hope you will read this msg in time. Just phone your dad and wish him a happy father's day ok? It's really that easy. I know that you are not used to saying such mushy stuffs, like "i love you" even to your dad... but just tell him. You haven't been seeing him for such a long time, this phone call will be a great surprise to him. Trust me, he will be v. touched! jiayou... summon up all your courage! Waiting for your good news. *winks
Once again, wanna thank ma and pa for buying so much China goods for us. They are really v. nice! =D I shall go prepare the celebration now... HAPPY FATHERS' DAY TO ALL FATHERS IN THE WORLD!
