fathers' day

yesterday was fathers' day and w/o me knowing, my cousin & sis had already planned to have a high-tea session at Carlton Hotel. im not the organiser this time round. hmmm weird. so i was woken up by my mum @ 11am yest despite sleeping at 5am the previous night (clubbing,duh!). did my hair, put on my make-up, dressed up and voila! we're off to carlton hotel for a "sumptuous meal".

the first thing i heard from my cousin when i arrived was "eh, the spread is real bad. i go one round i donno what to eat already." hahaha we are buffet critics. but anyways, we had fun lah. 2 families gathering together for a good meal and talking and laughing. its something i cant get from my own family solely (meaning it'll be quite awkward if its just a meal b/w my parents, my siblings and i) we lack communication and therefore, connection. tianyi learnt how to bake muffins there. hahaha she's like a princess lah. her mummy brought her a chair to stand on (prob cuz she's the youngest & smallest there), her dad brought her bib to her so that the batter wont stain her dress, my sis took the video cam to record her "baking of the muffin" process. she's so pampered but oh well, we love her so much. no choice. :D
after high-tea, the 2 families walked over to Raffles City's Robinsons. the men in the families bought their stuffs (fathers' day wat, must be pampered once in awhile).
all of us were singing songs to tianyi and she was dancing away happily. that moment was heart-warming. i felt really at home, really happy. tianyi never fails to bring us laughter :)

last but not least, Happy Fathers' Day to all!
