My Parents' 30th Wedding Anniversary + Books

I'm baaaaccckkkkk already!!! Couldn't get a haircut since it was fully booked already. They only had one spot open for next Tuesday at 1 pm. YARGH!!! I can't possibly do it then since my course starts next Monday, so I said I'd give it a thought. I feel like cutting my hair myself later, but we'll see if I dare do it or not HE HE HE HE HE HE...

Anyway, after I got back home, I felt the urge to call my parents. It was weird since I had called them already 8 days ago, yet the urge felt SO strong. Well, I thought to myself, "Well, why not call them again since starting next Monday I'll be busy anyway?"

And what did I find out when I called my parents? It's their 30th wedding anniversary!!! Yeah, I had forgotten about it ha ha ha ha ha...but somehow my subconscious mind must have remembered it. That was probably why I felt the urge to call them in the first place!

I also heard good news about my brother. He had a raise!!! ;-D Thus he treated my parents today by ordering some delicious food from the restaurant where I got married (Queen's Restaurant). They have VERY delicious food and right now I'm DROOLING all over the place as I WANT to eat those food (yang cheow rice - I don't know how to spell it - and beef steak)!!!! ARRRRRRRRGGGGGGGGHHHHHH he he he he...

I had a chance to talk to my parents and also to my brother and his wife. ;-D So it was fun for me!!! As usual, my brother was teasing me on the phone he he he he...I told him that if he had ever had enough money to visit me, then he should definitely come. ;-D

Other than that, today I received one of the books I won in eBay (Secrets of the Baby Whisperer by Tracy Hogg) and also a book from Fish. Fish and I made a book exchange deal a while ago, so I'm EXCITED to read the book she recommended (One Good Turn by Kate Atkinson) he he he he he...THANK YOU SO MUCH, Fish!!! I hope you enjoy the book I sent you!!!

Hmmm...Maybe I'd better read her book fast this week before I get too busy next week HE HE HE HE HE HE...





To my parents, I hope they grow gentler and more loving towards each other and they let God break down all their insecurities and their past issues and their internal wounds so that they can enjoy a fulfilling marriage until their last breath...May God's love run through their hearts and minds and souls forever...Love you bothhhhhhh...

    Congratulations to your parents for their wedding anniversary and congratulations to your brother for his rise!
    That was nice of him to treat your parents to a delicious meal. And somewhere which must be full of fond memories.

    Happy reading! I've read 'behind the scenes in the museum' by Kate Atkinson. Have you? I enjoyed that book. But I haven't read your e bay one.

    Bye for now,

    Oh, and good luck for next monday. The first year we were here I cut my own hair. I could only do the front bits, hubby cut the back and swears it looks good. I couldn't see... maybe it was better that i didn't know... ;-)

    Your parents must be so touched to receive your call. It's an intuition, or what my mom calls a connection you have with your parents. SO glad to hear all teh good news!
