A Wonderful Day with My Dad.

While the HL Bio and Chem people wake up early in the morning to go to school for their mock exams, I woke up with the promise of a day with my father. 

So, we both started out the journey by having a hearty breakfast. 

We went to Nasi Lemak Tanglin. I thought I would be the awesome epicurean by telling my dad about it, but he told me, "I've been going there even before you were born." Whoops!

I got the inspiration while reading my friend's blog, which is called Durian Democracy, if you like politics and other musings then I recommend that you check it out. 

It was so good. Warm rice, nice sambal, and a nice cup of cold Milo to start the day.

Then, it was off to Putrajaya for the Hot Air Balloon show. Sadly, when we arrived, the tickets were gone so we cannot ride in the hot air balloon. Oh poodles. 

But, we went around the fair.
I got a rainbow umbrella for Marshmallow and I got a Like a Boss meme t-shirt for my dear Prawn. 

Then, we went to watch a movie. It was a scary movie that I dare not type since it's 12:23 am in the morning now. Nightmares. 

After that, we went to Brickfields to eat cendol (for me) and ais batu campur or ABC (for my dad). It was nice because the coldness of the ice counteracted the hot heat that we experienced. 

Then, we visited my late grandmother's grave. 

My dad does miss his mother. He told me that he feels like he talks to her as well. I never wanted to lose my parents, never ever. 

I saw him as he squatted down and prayed at her grave. It was so sentimental. 

I was never as close with my dad's mother as I was with my Grandma. I guess it's the fact that I grew up with Grandma and also because of other family issues that I will not discuss here. 

Finally, we ate at a mamak stall near my neighborhood to end the day. 

Overall, I loved that day because I got to spend some quality time with my dad. We shared funny stories and I guess it was a day that I was missing for so long. 

Thank you school for creating a wonderful holiday at the right time.

The warm rice and the succulent meat. Gah. :) 

Lesson: 
Never ever forget your parents. They are the best companions that you will have. 
Also, NEVER FORGET FAMILY. 

Ohana means family and family means nobody is left behind or forgotten.
