Family ties

Yesterday we just had a simple pre-birthday celebration for my dad - His birthday falls on 1 Nov, and we happen to be flying off to Taiwan on that day *sorrie dad*

As usual, his slow and inconsiderate actions made us kept waiting and waiting for this KING to be ready. Always can't stand this attitude of his! I was so fed-up that I wrote a note to him, on top of my handmade card. Anyway, apart from the unhappy episode, we'd a great dinner.


Had patronised this chinese restaurant at Hotel Royals @ Queens before and liked the food, so decided to bring them for their first time. Usually buiness have been good, but never have thought that the whole restaurant will be empty, except our table of only 4 guests! Wow! The waitress was very prompt in serving tea, changing the plates and our dishes came out pretty promptly! She even volunteered to help us take picture when she saw us taking pics. Such an "VIP" treatment we'd received yesterday... haha.. Wonder where's the usual good business has gone to??See how empty the whole restaurant is in the above picture!

On the card, I told him I would like to bring the whole family out for holidays one day.After another encounter of his slow and inconsiderate behaviour yesterday, I really hope this behaviour of his will improve by then, so that this wish can be fulfilled yet not causing everyone great unhappiness.

Just watched the "Money Not Enough II" vcd today, and made me cried a lot and think a lot... Especially thinking about own parents/in-laws who will age, have health problems etc one day, and how we, as their children will cope with situations like that. Thinking of how they have done so much for us, how they have selflessly gave their love and support to us, and how we can include them in our life when we eventually set up our own family. We cannot throw them aside just like that...

Family ties are really important to me. I hope we will have enough capabilities to take care of them when they grow old and weak.
