taken yesterday night at marketcafe, raffles the plaza during mum's birthday celebs.

food wasn't all that bad. nice spread.
particularly enjoyed the hors d’œuvre/canapés/whatever you call those things-lying-on-tiny saucers-in-even-tinier-portions cos it's so rich that when you eat more than 2atago you feel damn jelat.

hellogorgeous :)

and the durian pengat. which i didn't take a picture of. because we were all too busy stuffing ourselves.
and really, a bowl of yellow gunk just doesn't do well in pictures.

ended the night with more photo-taking, which my parents were, strangely, complete sports.
days like these - when my mum willingly airkisses in front of the camera, are (really!!!) hard to come by. :)

my favourite shot of the night:

must be the food!

heh. my dad can be so adorable.

seeing him today sucked.

i mean, it was nice meeting him again after so long.
he looked like he grew skinnier.
i wanted to tell him that.

but when i went over to talk to him,
to say hi; to try to get things back to normal;
my heart just plummetted and all my happy thoughts went poof! outofthewindow
monosyllabic answers; eyes on some ancient yellowing newspaperclipping on proper posture.

i've never experienced so many conflicting emotions in that short 10second span of talking to him.

i alternated between wanting to tell him i kindofmiss him to wanting to smack his head, throttle him and tell him to talk to me like a normal person.

so much for wanting to be better friends.
