It's Merdeka Day (National Independence Day) on Sunday so we've got an extra public holiday here in Malaysia this Monday. I bought bus tickets to get back to Penang to spend the long weekend with Mummy.
Arrived Penang at around 4-ish in the afternoon. Tagged along with Mummy to do some grocery shopping at Sunshine Farlim. It's been a long time since we last went to Sunshine Farlim to do our groceries ever since Tesco opened in Gelugor almost more than a year ago. Walking down those familiar aisles, hearing the voice of the announcer on loudspeakers in Hokkien, seeing the same man sitting at the entrance selling lottery tickets, really brought me down memory lane to the days when I used to happily volunteer myself to get up early every Friday mornings to accompany Mummy for grocery shopping at that same place. I enjoy being with Mummy at supermarkets. I like observing how she organises her trip to supermarkets, with her shopping list in her hands, carefully ticking off what to get, meticulously picking her choices off the shelves, etc. On the other hand, I'd be the one pushing the cart tagging her at every corner of the supermarket. I don't think she knows why I do what I do, besides wanting to learn how to pick good fruits and veggies and observing the looks of some raw ingredients, I like pushing the cart because I want to be around her. Mummy's not very expressive with her words, so I guess my longing to spend that quality time with her would usually be the grocery shopping times that I spend with her. In return, I give her the "acts of service" love language that speaks to her most.
Feels good to be at home after 2 whole months of being away. Mummy made curry puffs specially for me. I'm a fan of her curry puffs ever since the first time I tasted them when I was a kid. Hehe... I literally threw out the usual thought of being conscious of what I put through to my mouth. I gobbled down about 6 of them at one go when arrived home.
I was also spoilt with Herbal soups, lots of mooncakes, fresh carrot juices (I miss!!) and herbal tea eggs. Thanks, Yummy Mummy!! =D
The rain's falling angrily on the roofs now. Perfect time to cuddle in my favourite quilt and catch some sleep. Laterz!
