Will parents feel sad when their children start to have their independent ways of life?

Sometimes the best way to vent your anger is by acting cute! Make your arguments sound light-hearted and attempt to get your way through girly childish ways. That supposedly can diffuse the tense mood of the angered party and which lady doesn’t like acting cute? Shall try it the next time I’m about to explode.

Today is Fathers’ Day, which roused up some thoughts in me about how children drift off from their parents gradually and no longer are that close to their parents. Sometimes I have this desire to stay at home, just to interact with my parents to make them feel happier. Sometimes it’s hard to just leave them to do their own stuff and not be around them for the entire weekend. Weekdays are filled with work, thus weekends become more precious. Even though my parents have each other to go out with, and both do not have to work anymore, there are times when I thought they would enjoy going out with us children as a family. No idea how they are thinking though, do they want us to be around, or can just be as happy without us by their sides?





Has been a great weekend! Shopping on Friday with Tian got my wallet $200 plus lighter, but in return we got a white skirt-jacket pair, two black and one grey tops suitable for work-wear, and some make-up foundation. Tian got a buckled metallic-chain Mango bag, the very hip type. On my own, I bought another white jacket for casual wear and a Phuture London lace top. Damn shiok to shop like that!

Saturday lunch was at 鼎泰峰with the babes from 98S26 – Steph, Sophia & Fang. The lucky mom-to-be still looks as great, unlike many other pregnant women who lose touch of beauty sense when carrying a baby in them. And the shopping for infant stuff after the lunch was fun! Little babies are very fortunate to be able to have extremely sweet and cute toys and clothes right from the moment they are born. Can be designer babies right from birth. Did some more shopping for clothes with Fang, got some tops (Fang, cool sexy top you’ve got ;)), and had good catching up done while walking down the malls. We both were lamenting about how lowly we’re paid and how to strive for a better future.

Early evening, WW picked me up and off to Esplanade and Marina Promenade we went. The sunset there was beautiful, though we didn’t sit facing it we could still see the orangish-yellow shine. Almost weekly I have my regular jogs there, but somehow sitting there with your loved one just passing time chatting about anything feels so different and special. Oh we saw this Boat Jet speeder boat racing past, with passengers on it and it driven by an ang moh. The jet had a shark’s face in front, and its body painted red. Fast and fierce, but very adventurous as it rocked from side to side and even went all the way out into the far open seas. I want a ride! Talking about rides, I suggested to WW on taking the DHL hot-air balloon high up into the air to get a panoramic view of Singapore, but he felt it a risk in case the balloon burst or the ropes broke. Must be cautious in life and avoid unnecessary exposures.
