Happy Birthday, mom!!!!

It's a tiring but wonderful, meaningful, joyous weekend I had for the last few days. Firstly, of course I want to thank my wonderful friend, Yee Ling for her willingess and contribution for letting me to use her car.

Well, a month or so ago, my brother and I have decided to celebrate my mom's 70' years old birthday on last Saturday 17.03.2007. My parents taken a trip to China on 08.03.2007 and came back to Sabah on 16.03.2007 evening. So, my brother and his family took the trouble to flew all the way from KL to the capital of Sabah, KK to celebrate birthday with my mom.

On Saturday morning, I brought them have "dim sum" at this new chinese restaurant before we went to Nexus Karambunai Resort. It's so fun to see my nephew and niece discovered new things like walking and running on the sand, etc. etc. After that, my mom wanted to visit Tuaran as she and dad studied at Kent College (Teachers training college), Tuaran about 40 years ago. They never been back there until that day. They saw many changes been made but they still manage to recognised the old existing building. I manage to saw where my mom and dad used to stayed. After that, of course, we went to try out the Tuaran mee at the well known Tuaran Mee shop. I can tell you, it's the BEST mee I ever had. It's very very very nice!!!

We went back to take our bath and rested before we went for my mom's big birthday celebration after that. The dinner was generally GOOD. My nephew has so much enthusiatism to get a bithday cake for his grandmother. He even helped his grandmother to unwrapped the gift. My mom of course so joyful that she has got herself a 'helper'. After the dinner, the kids can't stand the calling of the 'sleep master', so, we went back to rest early.

The next day, after attending church, we headed to Papar, a small town where my father was born. We visited my dad's brother. Thereafter, we went back and rested until dinner with my rector. He is so kind and generous that he treated us a seafood dinner. The happiest person of course is my nephew because he LOVES fish.

This morning, the whole family went for breakfast together. After that, we were playing in the room. It's so nice to be able to play with the kids. They are so wonderful. But my parents and my heart were burdened when we were about to leave. Dad and mom left KK about an hour ago. Time flies... but we just so happy to be able to have a family gathering.
