31st March 2010
Celebrated my didi's birthday with pizza hut's pizza. Wanted to order the pizza's via their website, but was shocked when I see that the approximate waiting time is 1hr. It was around 6.45pm and my didi and I were really hungry. Thought ordering through their hotline might be faster, so I 'intelligently' dialled the number and waited for a respond. Wait till I was sick of hearing their repeating advertisement through the phone and turned on the loudspeaker instead. Started complaining to my didi and gong gong, who was enjoying his McSpicy Double meal. Finally they answered my call, it was a less than 5mins talk but I waited for like 10mins. Wasn't just pissed of by this fact, the approximate waiting time was 1hr too!!! Argh!!! Should have just ordered online. Damn! But our order arrived in around 45mins and it was really hot. Hmmm... Wonder who is lucky enough to win their one year free supply of pizza.
As soon as the pizzas arrived, my did and I couldn't wait to eat. Wait so long, very hungry le leh. My plan was to eat my Shrooms pizza first then leave the Cheese N Chics one as the birthday cake. I ate 3 pieces of the 10" pizza while my didi only ate 1 and went on to eat his Sweet N Spicy Drumlets.
Waited for my mama to come back so that we could start the celebration. When she finally returned, I opened up the box containing the Cheese N Chics pizza and was surprised that there were missing pieces!! My didi ate them when I wasn't noticing!!! Ahhhh!!! What to do? Time to use my creativity! So the partially eaten pizza turned into this...
Very cute artpiece, isn't it? =D
The birthday boy
Practising how he should blow out the candles with just one breath. Lol!
Powerful blow that toppled one candle, but not enough to extinguish the other two. Lol!
Yeah! =D
My elder brother was in camp that day, if not we would be able to take a more complete family picture. Anyway, all these pictures were taken by my dearest Gong Gong. =D He's a good photographer, isn't he? Hehe. =D
Every year, our birthday celebration is more or less the same. Just a cake or pizza, candles, wishes... Sounds boring, but the warmth and loving feeling can be simply felt just like that.
My didi was really happy that he is 14 years old now and he's looking forward to being 16. Sounds so familiar. Most of us probably have the same desire when we were his age. But when he comes to my age, believe he won't want to get any older. Lol! I stopped reminding my family about my birthday since I was 16, I think, with the intention of getting bigger angbao from my mama. Haha! =D But when I reached 18 and going to be 19, I was really afraid of celebrating birthday. I don't want to see the number of candles on my cake! Haha! =D
Age is really catching up and I can feel the gap between me and my younger brother. Can no longer understand him as well as before. He's a teenager now, has his own thoughts and desires. To stop him from doing anything he wants will be forcing him to retaliate. What I can do now, is to be his advisor. Though some thing he choose to do I feel may not be good for him in the future, I can only remind him of the possible consequences. I may not be right cos their generation will be different from ours. Things may not turn out as bad as I presumed. My only hope is that he will treasure his education. He may not like Christianity, but I believe the Lord understands and will answer to my prayers; to bless my love ones even though they are of different religion.
