Slept alone in that huge bed last night, mom, aunt, my little rascal and my maid had gone to my Periamma's place to stay over. "Settle daddy's meals tomorrow". mom had instructed me before she had gone, asked me if I wanted to go as well, passed the offer. I didnt have someone to hug and sleep last night but at least I had space and didnt have to worry about falling off the bed on one turn!
Dad had taken his breakfast by the time I was up, well he gets up around 6ish every morning, does his prayers for an hour, thanks to him, family is well. Went to a turkish place last night, dinner was good, so decided to try out something similar, but dad is vegetarain, so anything I do has to be vegetarian as well. Went through the fridge...hmmm.....decided to cook up some pita filling to be eaten with pita bread. Potatoes, brinjal, tomatoes, capsicum, mock mutton some spices and walla it was done...dad was happy when he entered the kitchen and saw me cooking, must have been thinking "great im gona get something different today", he knows I normally try out new dishes and he's usually my guinea pig! Pita bread, spread some yogurt as i didnt have sour cream, some lettuce, filling, roll, cut into half on a plate and dad'd lunch was served to him at 1130am!
Smsed ma bro, "Come try my pita", my sis in law and him decided to forgo their lunch date and come try my food....i had compliments.....i was smiling from ear to ear....its nice to see people eat and be happy. Dad says i take after my grandpa (his dad), I havent seen him before, but apparently he used to house and feed immigrants from india who had come to s'pore in search of work....my thoughts went out to my baby boy....wonder what he had for lunch today...hmmm..just hope its not maggie...i decided to have a cone of ice cream, a habit I developed with Lesh on sundays....we would grab a cone each and watch tv....today he isnt around, as I was scooping I was smiling to myself....I remembered how my baby boy used to eat his ice cream....in a huge bowl and I wouldnt trade watching that satisfaction, that gleam on his face afterwards...
Need to do some online payments, with my hero gone i thought my expenses would decrease, doesnt seem like it, $450 for visa, $150 for medical, %1000 for tics,$300 for courier.....and not mentioning my credit cards bills....may burnt a hole in my pocket....birthday presents, treats, mothers' day...i'll have to watch my budget.....better keep track....went shopping last saturday, since i was in town.....didnt have time to go to the post office on monday, so got a friend to help me do a registered post....just to ensure its receipt, but I hope someone is home.....my packing is killing me....i havent sent over my stuff yet....got to do it by end of this week at least.....have dinner with amma tonight....her long over due mothers' day dinner.....Need to spend some time with amma before I leave as well, she was the one who took care of my since I was a baby, til I was about 12 yrs old. This is my other family....so when its mothers' day, I have 3 of them in my list, the other is my aunt who lives with us since my younger days....not to mention that her bday and my mom's bday is in May as well......bought my mom a card and gave it to her last sunday, she cried after reading it....told her that I love her even though I seem very distant from the family for the past few years...mom had vouched not to waste the next month by picking an arguemnt with me...lets c....
