The Begin of Semester Break

Being able to wake up at anytime I desire throughout the day after a good night's sleep is absolute bliss; Not needing to charge electrical devices for next day class uses is the best; Being able to eat, sleep, shop and relax at your own pace is the best freedom any student could get; Not needing to constantly chase time and prepare for submissions is a total stress free environment; Being able to switch on the laptop for your own personal interest, business and entertainment is the start of semester break.

Yes after 6 months of architorture (and fun), here I am- enjoying the 4th day of semester break at home.

Waking up to the noise of korean drama ad dimsum is not your average morning call, well, unless it's a Sunday on your semester break.

                                         

Carrot cake, fried stuff, porridge, char siew bao, dumplings, etc.

Take away dimsum to start the day :)

Sis and I enjoying our meal of the day

Highlight of by breakfast- char siew bao <3

We stopped by KLCC after sending my sister off to tuition and I think this was the first time my mom bought this many shoes in her entire life.

New tribal pants from H&M

Just trying to take a hipster kinda photo

OOTD :)

The new shoes I got from ALDO which are the most comfortable shoes you've ever worn

Car rides with my sister being antisocial as usual

Shoes from Charles and Keith because they are currently having great deals 

And after our stop at KLCC, we headed over to Midvalley for desserts- waffles yay! My favourite :D We stopped by at Madame's waffles in the Gardens (there is another shop in Midvalley, level 3) for a delicious treat.

Chocolate

Black Sesame

"They say you can't buy happiness, but you can buy waffles, and that's about the same thing"

My mom is an Asian at work, well I do do that too

As for my mom's actual birthday celebration, we went to a place called " Souled Out" which we had first seen in Melacca

The restaurant we ate at: mix cuisine of western, asian, indian, snacks and bar

It's located in a building area called " Nexus" in Bangsar South, KL

A drink known as "firefly"

My course of the night- Spaghetti Spicy Aglio Olio

Second meal of the night- kids meal of sausage, mashed potatoes and fries

Steak

Spaghetti and Salmon

Some kind of spring chicken which I have forgotten

I have enjoyed the whole course at Souled Out and it has been by far the most enjoyable western cuisine I have ever tasted.

The drink was made of my favourite fruit: the dragon fruit with a mix of some tropical fruits

Both of my meals: the spaghetti and side dish tasted extremely delicious. 

////////

The spaghetti had the right amount of spiciness and spices while the noodles was cooked in a way that it was springy yet not too difficult to be eaten.

On the other hand, the mashed potato set which had mashed potato, sausages and chips was actually a kids set. The mashed potato was made soft and fine which gives it a really nice texture to bite on while the sausages were cooked with a hint of friedness (there is no such word but you get what I mean), and the chips, well let's just say that everyone enjoyed it.

So basically this was the end to my mom's birthday celebration with endless shopping and countless food trips around KL.

To anyone who has ever spent their valuable time reading this lengthy blogpost, and to those who don't know the existence of this blogpost, I wish you all happiness with this cute green candy which I actually kinda stole a picture of since I didn't pay for the picture.

5th July- the date of my mom's birthday. Remember the times where everyone says mom's birthdays are the most important? It isn't, because everyday is important. It has always been important to show how grateful you are to your parents, my mom in this case.

Everyday she sends me to and fro from campus, yes she complains about me not being able to drive, but that will change soon after I get my driving license. Yet, even if she complains about me taking too long to get my license, or sending my to campus wastes her whole morning she does all this out of love, because that is who I am to her- a daughter.

Love, it makes everything sound so surreal. I remember there was once, when my relation with my family wasn't as strong as now, she once told me: if I ever get into trouble, the first person I should always go to is my family, because she would do anything for me- even go to jail.

Things get astonishing when you grow up, when you mature, when you realize the world isn't only a home to yourself, when you realize that everything you have once thought about are all faults which you should erase. But all these don't matter the most to me, the main thing I've realized over the years of growing up is the amount of love my mom has showered on to me, the amount of patience she has showed, the amount of support she has gave, and the amount of proudness she has with my achievement so far.

I'll learn how to drive so you can sleep and rest in the car, I'll earn my living so that I can stop feeding off you and bring you to shopping trips, food trips or even travel trips, I'll make you the proudest mom in the world so that you will never be ashamed to show your daughter's achievements off to others (not like you're ashamed now). But most importantly, I'll take care of you till the end, like the pain and torture you had to go through sending me from clinics to hospitals to wards back home and to the babysitter's house, from schools to tuitions to camps to outings and now from place to place I desire. I'll go through all the trouble I have once put you in over and over again by taking care of you, someday later.

Happy birthday one-and-only mom :) I love you.
