My mom said I was born around dinner time - after 18 hours of labor and 10 days overdue - I was stubborn even as a foetus. I surely gave her a hard time at birth and she's had to miss so many meals in a day to deliver me. Not to mention the excrutiating pain, as she puts it in her words!
Gee, mothers are really good at pulling the guilt trip - and it's the most difficult thing to say no to your mom. Complain not, though, for you only have one mom [biological, that is] so she is irreplaceable. You can change spouses many times over in a lifetime - but your mom stays your mom forever.
Anyways, tonight, I turn 24 plus 10 - in denial of being this old :)
I celebrated my birthday with a modest nasi kandar dinner in Pelita Nasi Kandar in Penang. We couldn't find Nasi Kandar Kayu, and it was time for breaking fast, so no time to go around Penang looking for the supposedly the best nasi kandar on the island, and it was raining to be dining al fresco at the hawkers centres at Padang Kota or Gurney Drive. But the food at Pelita Nasi Kandar was good nonetheless.
We were in Penang to visit Auntie Buang who had a surgery on Friday to remove a malignant lump in her left breast.
