Perfect Parents' Day

Whoa... it's been a mad rush for the last 2 weeks right after I finished my temp job!

I was plunged into organising and putting together the games for the youth camp. Thanks to the help of my games comm and helpers, I'd never have been able to pull the whole humungous piece of GOO off...

I woke up on Monday morning, the week following my temp job, thinking I could like laze the day away... then my mum came knocking on my door and told me to go out for lunch with them... I was pretty reluctant actually since my weekend was packed as we just finished a combi meeting on sat followed by a full day at church, where I got up real early to take care of my members' kids at TOUCHkidz as he couldn't make it due to work.

but my mum was pretty persistent and I was dragged out of bed to go to Newton to have steamboat buffet with my parents... hahaha...

I was glad I went though, cos we managed to catch up a bit on my life and how I'm doing and it kinda reassured them somewhat... parents usually worry about everything in your life... so they do need a BIT of reassuring...

after that we went Christmas shopping... It felt really good cos I can't rem when was the last time I shopped with my parents... when I was a kid maybe? So it really brought back childhood memories. Some things never change though, like how my mum would often wander off on her own and we had to look for her amidst the rows and rows of cooking utensils, blouses, dresses, skirts and other women's apparels... just imagine 2 adult men walking in the ladies department, with a searching look on their faces. You'd get suspicious won't you? Well, I'd usually have died of embarrassment already by the time we managed to locate her...

all in all, I do treasure that time with them :) my mum usually makes comments like, "I have to book an appointment with you in order to have lunch with you!"

so, I do get the drift and try to stay home as often as I can just to do dinner or lunch over the weekends with them. :)
