My version of a wonderful Sunday is when I have no commitments. This means no party to go to, no function, no event, no kids activity, no replacement class, zilch. And today was just one such Sunday………….What a wonderful Sunday it was.
We left the home bright and early to go window shopping at KLCC to wash my eyes at Balenciaga, followed by Prada, Ferragamo, Paul Smith, then very efficiently proceeded to Pavillion for more eye candy. Parking at KLCC cost only RM4 just to show how efficient I was…….I know, this makes me sound like a real superficial materialistic air-head Tai-Tai but believe me, there was a very reason for all this. Of course, it was a very good reason. *shifty eyes darting left and right*
At Pavi, we had lunch at T1’s favourite Japanese Ramen Noodle place where they make their own noodles and T2 was throwing a hissy fit, OK, I exaggerate, it was just a sulk because she wanted to eat at Nandos (ewe! No offense Sean and Mac) where Uncle Ben was (entertaining guests who wanted to eat Nandos!) and nobody wanted to bring her to Nandos. LOL!
After lunch, she had Baskin! What a treat! Throws a fit and still gets Baskin! There’s something about this child who’s blessed with Princess Luck. Somehow or other, she knows how to get what she wants, just somehow, whether it be from any one of us or others. Sigh. No wonder T1 gets so exasperated with her. My darling T1.
After Baskin, I went to Hermes, Prada (again), Mulberry, Bottega, Giuseppe, Ferragamo (again! and fell in love with the Batik bag above, such coincidence when just last week we were at a Batik factory in Kelantan) and it was such fun. Of course, if I was tall and leggy like Bar Rafeali, it would have been even better but no, I only thudded in in my denim shorts and thong sandals looking very……….desperate. Surprisingly, I didn’t invade DVF nor BCBG because I told myself enough clothes until I break my 8kg mark for real. If the 8kg stays off for an entire month, then I can go shopping and then work the next 8kg. No, seriously. I need to lose almost 30kg. Groan.
The happiest thing for me though was meeting a young blog reader at a secret Pavi hide-out, The EspressoLab. Yes!!! And when she told me she’d been reading my blog since she was a teenager these last 3 years, I was gobsmacked. Heck, she’s still a teenager!!! I thought my readers were run of the mill moms just like myself so was extremely thrilled to know that I had readers below 20!! WOW, Hannah, you’ve made my day!!! I forgot to get your number so please email it to me?
And speaking of Hannah, I would also like to take the opportunity to wish another beautiful Hannah, a very, very, VERY, VERYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYY Happy Birthday today!!!!! THANK YOU to you both tudung Hannah’s for dancing gracefully into my life. I am truly blessed and always believe that everything happens for a reason.
Hannah Dearest,
There are no words to describe the flutter that you bring to my heart so please know that it beats together with yours. As much as I love her, I always feel like an idiot in wanting to show her just how much I do. It is a complicated relationship because she for some reason won’t allow me to do what I want to do and this leaves me extremely frustrated, sometimes fed up, sometimes angry; so the gratitude that I amass when you do what you do is insurmountable. Since I cannot give to her what I want to give, you remove a portion of that guilt. I feel at peace that I have you for her and for me.
Everything happens for a reason. God always has his reasons……
So I dedicate this to you on your Birthday, a poem by Joanna Fuchs:
Some people give the gift of peace and tranquility to every life they touch
They are always who they really are.
They are blessedly reliable, dependably good, predictably pleasant, loved and treasured by all who know them.
You are one of those people.
You are a gift of peace and tranquility in my life.
Happy Birthday, Hannah.
