mum's so excited

mum was discharged today from the hospital and she literally behaved like a small girl.

when she got news of her discharge, she called every all my siblings and i. for that matter, she called me no less than 5 to 6 times within half an hour. buy me noodles… have you left home?… are you on the way?… how come you have not arrived?… her calls came within a few minutes of each other. i was kinda pissed with her non-stop calling but of cos i didn't show.

once home, i let her have her rest until about 6-plus before bringing her out for dinner and to do some shopping. and once again, you could see her excitement. well, i decided to bring her to a restaurant and buy her a proper dinner. and for that moment, forget about what the dietitian said about low salt intake etc. it was a good time to celebrate, i told myself. and at the restaurant, mum picked up the menu and she ordered the dishes! that was the first time for me! and funnily, she chose the dishes based on how nice the pictures looked in the menu.

and so, we ended up with wasabi prawns, stewed pork ribs, cod fish in special sauce, and spinach with 3-types of egg. and end of it all, she had mango sago dessert while i ordered a guilinggao for myself. and i told her dinner's on me cos i wanted to celebrate my birthday… haha!

wooooohhh...
