Little S

Mothers are soooo enthusiastic when it comes to their kids’ birthday parties. You should see Kak Ju preparing for this. It happens twice a year (for her kids) and those times, I hate going near her. She’s yelling on the phone going, “I wanted the cake to be like THIS…not like THAT!!!” *runs out of room* Danger zone in there.

And she actually MAKES the invitation cards for all the other kids in pre-school.

Me : “Kak Ju, you know they’re going to throw those away right?”

She : “Who cares…it’s prettyyyyyy…” and gives herself a satisfactory smile.

This particular birthday, she got goodie bags custom-made with little S’s name and all. She ordered them from outside KL and was so worried that they won’t arrive on time. While waiting, she bought the stuff to fill in the bag; chocolates, Play-dohs, tiny books, party packs, candy, cupcakes, toys….oh…my….god….

When the goodie bags arrived, she couldn’t fit all the stuff in them!! Hahahaha.

Kak Ju : “NO!!! I should’ve gotten BIGGER goodie bags… Our little S's going to be so upset!!”

An image of Little S comes up in my head, her trying to differentiate left foot and right foot….

Me : “Oh I think she’ll be fine…”

It’s so funny to see Kak Ju get worked up about goodie bags and candy. Maybe because I don’t have kids yet, so I won’t understand. Apparently A LOT of mothers are like this. It’s sweet, really… you do it for your kids. One day when they grow up, they can look back at the albums and videos and be thankful to have parents who give the best to them, regardless of whether they appreciate it at the time or not.

Happy 5th birthday, Little S. If you’re all grown up and reading this, hope this will bring a smile to your face knowing that your parents always try to give the world to you.

Oh and when you read this and kak eka is really really old, please tell me to not be lame and stop blogging already! Hehe.
