It was good to see Mum again! 2 1/2 years is a long time. We had been planning for the past few weeks - sleeping arrangements, our cruise, food etc etc and it was nice to finally be here, right here in Singapore, in Mum's brand new flat which I was seeing for the first time. Block 32, TP was our home for 38 years and it had aged. So glad that mum has a nice new place now right in the heart of TP Central. It made getting around real convenient as the MRT was just round the corner and the bus network was just amazing.
Mum has mellowed considerably. I am glad to say that throughout the whole 5 weeks, we got on wonderfully. We've had our differences in the past but this time was different. We talked, went out together, had fun with the kids, and of course, she had the opportunity to feed us, both with her home cooked meals and the yummiest local delicacies from around TP. Breakfast was always a 4-course meal - tau hwey, chai tao kweh, vegetarian fried mee hoon, chwee kwey,soon kwey....... can't remember the rest.
The kids enjoyed mama. She brought them to the library, pasar malam every day for a whole week, 2 movies and TP central for shopping.
Our trip also coincided with Mum's 74 birthday which was nice!
