Good morning sunshine.

Being the good and filial son, I woke up early this morning to have breakfast with mummy before she went to work. Righhhhhttt. Haha. It has been quite awhile since I woke up this early, and I must say, the morning air smells really good! I awoken from my sleep this morning at about 7.30, and my mum asked if I wanted to eat anything, she can go downstairs to get it for me. I thought, why not go downstairs to eat with her instead. She was quite taken aback by my suggestion (she thinks I'm a sleepyhead), but agreed nonetheless.

 

I could tell she was happy that we will be eating breakfast together. We went to the market to buy some mince pork and fish. The pork seller, who recognizes her, asked if I am the son. Haha. Then she asked if I had finished national service. Do I look that innocent? Hehe, maybe so when I'm with family. We then proceeded to get some spinach, and went to the coffeeshop. We ordered vegetarian noodles and fishball noodles to share share between us. We chatted a bit here and there too, then she went to buy 4D. I told her to buy my birthday number, "sure come out one", and she did! Haha. I hope it does, tonight. Afterwhich I walked her to the car, and off she went. It was a really nice morning, spending quality time with family, which definitely will not be the last time. We have a date tomorrow morning again. This time I'm eating half boiled eggs.

 

On a sidenote, a family friend, who took care of my sis and me when we were young, went for an operation yesterday. He was diagnosed with colon cancer 5 years ago. His story is quite amazing. Basically he went through 2 years of pain and suffering before he decided to seek medical attention. Back then, in 2003, the doctors were shocked to learn that he had waited more than 2 years before coming to them. Thankfully the cancer did not spread to his vitals, and he managed to send it into remission. A couple of weeks back, he went for a scan and they spotted a growth/tumor/unknown somewhere in his stomach region. I went to see him last Sunday, he has aged quite a bit, but still going strong. He got admitted on Monday, and went under the knife yesterday. My prayers go out to him and his family. Bless you, and may you recover fully once again. =)
