Ten again

Sitting in the living room of my grandparent's place for the 2nd day of my break I could almost lose myself to reminiscence. Other than the fact our 2005 family photograph in right in my face at this moment, listening to Bo Amir Iqram's Ten Again invites nostalgic moments of me & my cousins running around this very place playing tag or smashing chocolate cake into each others faces during birthday gatherings. Until this very day, when everybody gets together there is no limit to laughter and noise our crowd offers but a lot has change as now I am the only one tip-tapping away on the notebook waiting for my cousin to come get me before we go to watch... *over excited smile* Pirates Of The Carribean 3! So, I admit not everything has changed. :)

To Remember & Remind

Many people might not take Mother's Day as seriously as their own birthdays. And even if you think your appreciating your mom every day of the year, it would be still nice to remind her of your love by spending some good time with her. Celebrate along with the rest of the world by at least offering a big tight hug.

For this year, it was my uncle's idea to take mommy out for lunch. A little last minute but I managed to make reservations at TGIF's earlier that morning. It's been ages since we went there ! *eversince uncle moved out. He's a fan of the place, haha.*

Some nacho fajitas & the Friday's three for all. The potato skins are so nyummy. I like covering it with all three pastes. Everyone should try it ! :o

On the left we have a bowl of lovely greens, the Chicken Bbq Salad. On the right we have our special Chicken & Shrimp Diablo which always taste fantastic and leaves you wanting for more.

She'll only be able to celebrate Mother's Day NEXT year. ;D

By the time we were done emptying the plates everyone seriously had enough of cheese for the month. Haha. Which is why I say " Get the damn Coke ! ". :D

Sixteen years of being and your not too bad at it. Haha.
Happy Mother's Day, ma !

The Kids Keep It Flaming

What did I do while most of my friends were probably busy celebrating over their yee sangs on Chinese New Year ? Grill chicken. -__-'

My aunt decided to have a bbq. Haha.

The food was all prepared and they had the grill going on outside by the time me & Vinod got there. I wouldn't say we were late. :o

Why does my uncle always want to puzzle me ? What a poser. Haha.

I didn't understand why were they still cooking when we had so much of food ordered already.

They let me prepare the punch, once again ! Hehe. Somehow I have so much of fun at this.

We didnt have the easiest time uncorking the sparkling juice. Gotta add some zest to the punch !

Eventually they made us take over the grill. Ohh emm gee, the smoke. Our batch of chickens & shrimps were better than the earlier ones ! *Or we like to believe so*

What did I tell you about the food ? Haha.

These weren't too bad considering the fact they had to do some major last minute marinating. We're talking only about 10 minutes of marination ? :S

Uncle saving the chickens. Haha.

The party went on till atleast one in the morning. Just mostly chit chatting & getting hyper on Coke at the patio for me, Vinod & Ruban. Cricket catching for Ruban too , he's such a pro at it. Haha ! Cause there were so many flying around outside. Huge ones too. One of the crickets even took the liberty on chasing after me all the way into the kitchen. -__-' The guys just sat there laughing. Must've been a sight.

Ruban glows. And ... that was random.

Respect Thy Creators

Mums.

They brag and play tag,
They clean and bake beans,
They dance and glance.

So, moms keeps baking your beans & playing tag 'cause we love it when you do. Your the first one's we see every morning everysince we slid out. Your the first one's to pull off the sheets while saying " Time for school ! " with constant excitment to see the outcome of how we turn out in 5 years. Paying for the daily spa trips you would take. :)

Im just gonna take 5 seconds to say Happy Mother's Day !

Love you, maa.
