Mums' Day and the day before that..

Yesterday, I.......
Had lunch at Sakae, alone. (Karen, it's really not that difficult to go eat sushi alone lah.)
Walked around town in that nice weather, alone.
Bought rubbish that I shouldn't have spent money on, alone. But, I LIKE. :P
Went HMV, alone.
Bought CDs, alone.

BECAUSE.......
Hanxu, my DEAREST sister, whom I was to go town with, decided to NOT GO OUT at the last minute!!!
*breathes fire*
Luckily cat fights are not our style, if not my mum would have swept up a lot of cat's fur today.
Shouting at each other IS our style. Woohoo.

Then again, criticising my sister (or any other sibling) to people outside our family is not my style. It's always been like this. I can whack my siblings, but in front of others, even if they're wrong, I'll have to speak up for them first. Whatever comes after we get home is another issue. The go-home-then-settle-with-you-situation.
So I'm not going to scold her here. And anyway, 2 hours after I was out...

SMS conversation:
Hanxu: "Jie.. Sorry ah, wasn't feeling well. Where are you now?"
Me: "It's ok, I'm not angry already. In town. You need me to get something for you is it?"
Blah blah blah..

Hanah hanah.. I don't have character but whatever lah. As people get older, it becomes harder to be angry for long. This applies for me at least.

ANYWAY, yesterday, I felt AGAIN that doing things alone is great.
I don't deny that
you won't have someone there to remind you that you shouldn't waste money on redundant stuff.
You won't have someone there to tell you whether something suits you.
You won't have someone there to agree or disagree with you that a CD that you feel like buying is nice.
You won't have someone there to eat ice-cream with you when you feel like eating ice-cream.

BUT I tell you, it's a damn shiok feeling to just do everything according to yourself.
Zero external influence.
Zero confusion.
Zero consideration for others.
You just listen to yourself and do what you tell yourself to do.

Term of the day: ALONEliness.
No no, not loneliness, it's Aloneliness.
Worlds apart in their meanings.

Actually I love my sister more now. She indirectly gave me a chance to go out alone. After that we still went for Buddhist lesson together. YAY.

To Close Friend: Assumed that you were tied up at your relative's house yesterday and couldn't make it for supper since you didn't sms me. Hope you were not waiting for ME to sms YOU. If not then *faints*. Didn't want to interrupt your family gathering lah.

Mothers' Day morning was spent at an old folks' home. It's a monthly thing for me and Hanxu. I don't know how to describe the feeling after every time we go there. But it's a very positive feeling.

To end off this post,

Happy Mothers' Day, Hanxiang's Mummy!

To THE BEST (prettiest, kindest, silliest, smartest etc.) Mummy in the world:

Sometimes I might upset you (unintentionally or intentionally), but you still love me so so much.

I love you too! Because......

You still make soups for me although I always say they taste like SHET.

You make herbal tea for me when I complain of hot weather, even if it's said casually.

You're so adorable. You never fail at irritating me by helping me finish my sentences and jumping to conclusions and panicking for no good reason.

You do funny things like getting impressed by your OWN voice when you sing.

You always tell me to sleep early.

Of all the other things that you've done that I can't remember now because I'm getting sleepy.

*off to sleep*
