Went Chinatown Pearl Center with my mum and bro with one motive that is to get the best tour package for japan - Hokkaido!!!!
And yes=D I am going Hokkaido in Mayyyyy~
Spend like 4 hours in Chinatown. First get the pamphlet then head to the Chinatown market for lunch. I get to drink my all time favourite drunken herbal chicken soup. Shared with my dearest mum. Ate less then half a bowl of rice and unable to bite the chicken meat so end up eating the skin and drinking the soup. As usual the portion was so big that bro have to help us to eat the chicken meat. $6 for half a chicken herbal soup. The soup is also the real thing. Best.
Then sat down there to see the packages and start to eliminate one by one. Then after that go back to Pearl center and ask about the details and all that. Dad was on a plane to Thailand at this moment also.
We were so worried about the limited space for most of the packages. And finally after comparing the prices and places. We call dad who is still on the plane several times, obviously it didn't get through. And then we decide to go home first and wait for Dad's call. And basically is also because i was also rushing for CHC Easter Service.
Dad called while we were on the way home. We were like damn excited. Hearing the fact that there were limited spaces. Dad tell us to book and faster put a deposit. And YAY!
Told mum to called the travel agency guy to reserve first then go down to place deposit later at night.
Then i rush to CHC Easter Service.
Easter service is great. I don't know how to describe it.
I am touched by the fact that my sister's whole cellgroup actually accommodate to the timing i wanted for the service and everyone of them that i know were present and feel happy to see me so good. I am really regretted not buying Easter chocolates for them to express my thanks since i was rushing to and fro. I couldn't even bake things for them since everything about CHC is not known by my mum.
Thanks yvonne for allowing me to use her for my lies. A date with yvonne= A date with my sis.
Then i had a mini chat with my sis.
About the "funny ideas about me" mum was telling about sis during my operation. I can't imagine until now she still doesn't trust me and neither the path i chosen for my future which is Food Science. What is worse is that she actually told sis to come and "advise" me. Of course my sis won't do that because she think that my choice is correct and currently the best one for the me who can't make it for uni food science course which i don't even want to go also.
After that i started pouring out my stress to my sis about my bro, mum, religion, future and how tired i am feeling about a home and parents whom wants you to do things by their way.
I was on the verge of crying when the service finally starts. Then the songs they sang make me feel like crying. I could actually feel the strong faith in the whole expo hall. The feeling of calmness in my heart. But i am just not ready to accept this. Considering the excuses and lies i have to tell just to go for services and the stress given to me by mum and dad. I am still not ready to face all of this yet.
Overall the drama is great. Very real. I were shock about each and every detail of the drama about how Jesus die on the cross. They make the whole scene of the hammering of the nails onto Jesus so real as there is like red liquid flowing out lor.
I didn't join my sis and her cell group for dinner. Basically is my teeth and i also felt uncomfortable eating with people i don't really know and are older then me. They are mostly married if not have a stable career. I end up going back home on my own. Roaming about in Expo in the mph sale and john little sale.
I was so tired since i spend the whole day out and i have not had dinner yet (which is mostly a packet of milk). Yet i still travel back to TM. And i end up buying lots of stuff and goodies. Puddings, Wang Zai Milk, Vitasoy, Black soy bean milk, KOKA no msg cup noodles and my dinner - Magnolia GO! I bought too much to the fact that i am staggering home. Plus because i lost alot of weight during this period of time. My jeans is dropping out on me, it was damn loose. I could easily grab 2 inches or more out of my jeans. in the hip, thigh and waist area. So you can imagine how pathetic i look with very droppy jeans and a pale and hungry face. I have to even call my mum to help me carry the groceries after i alight at safra bus stop.
Then back at home i was so called "reprimanded" by my mum for trying to do so much things in one day and not taking care of myself. I knew she was really worried for me.
I feel so LOVED and touched this Easter. Definitely a special meaning of Easter Day for me.
