BackupBlog: [10 Sep 2016] 阿公的生日

Today is 阿公's birthday. Mummy and 阿姨 had been discussing where to bring 阿公 for a birthday treat then finally we settled at 云华宫. 3姨 made a reservation for lunch since we will go in the morning then come back to Singapore at 7pm. Everyone had to accommodate our time again.

Mummy purchased the tickets online 1 month in advance and even woke up very early to get everything prepared but when mummy woke baba up at about 8.20am to get ready he kept delaying the time as he did not wish to go. It was about 9am when baba got ready and we were late if we wanted to take public transport. Mummy initiated to take a taxi but we had problem to hail a taxi in a drizzling day. A taxi finally stopped and we even boarded but eventually the taxi driver told us that he did not want to go to train checkpoint as the traffic was very heavy today due to the long weekend. We got off the taxi and took another taxi instead.

At last we managed to reached train checkpoint at aboit 9.45am and we were still in time to catch the train which will depart at 10am and the gate will be closed soon at 9.50am. Mummy thought we were lucky but then found out mummy forgot to bring passports! Oh no, mummy quickly called 大姨 to inform her that as she was already at Malaysia train station to wait for us.

We took another taxi back home then mummy rushed back home to take our passports while baba and you waited in the taxi.

We took the taxi back to train checkpoint and got off. Mummy was pissed off at that time as baba did not have any intention to pay for the taxi fare although it's easier for him to take his wallet out. He just looked at mummy and told mummy the total amount then mummy quickly took the bag out, unzip and look for mummy's wallet. Anyway, forget it.

We walked to Singapore Checkpoint and found very lomg queue at the both immigration area and bus stand. As usual baba showed his frustration again but mummy could not do anything. We were in the queue for almost 1 hour. We were already late and not able to rush to the restaurant for lunch. Everyone was waiting for us. 阿姨 did not inform 阿公阿婆 on the lunch yet as they were not sure whether we could be there in time. In the end 阿姨 cancelled the reservation and they needed to find another place for lunch.

Then we came to Malaysia custom, it was so packed and we stuck in the long queue again. That was another 1 hour of waiting. Baba was already fed up at that time. He shouted at mummy and told mummy to go for foods first instead of meeting up with 阿姨 first. He gave another option vent his anger and made mummy felt so upset then mummy quickly called 大姨 to ask where they wanted to go for lunch in very rude tube. Mummy regretted that mummy talked to 大姨 in rude manners after being scolded by baba. Mummy wondered why does baba always likes to scold and shout at mummy? Haiz...

We took a taxi to 2姨家 to meet the rest of the 阿姨. 阿公阿婆 were already left as 5姨 said there were some miscommunication as 阿公 thought everyone will be having dinner together at night when all 姨丈 back from work. He already ate the porridge and did not wish to go for lunch anymore. Then阿b gor gor talked to 阿公in rude manners and accused 阿公 to be a wet blanket. There were multiple miscommunication and 阿公 was angry then left.

Baba was even angry when he knew 阿公 had left as we rushed here.

We had lunch at a coffeeshop instead.

After lunch we went to 大姨家. 阿b gor gor and 映彤姐姐 will take a train with us and back to Singapore today. They will stay overnight at our place.

We brought gor gor and 姐姐 to have dinner at a hawker center then we proceeded to Sunplaza by taxi to buy an ice-cream cake for your birthday celebration tomorrow.
