Fairytale Feat. Simplicity is Flexibility

Simplicity have always been what I had been looking for. I want to live a life peacefully. Simplicity can be as simple as strolling along the park and enjoy the sea breeze flowing through your soul, bringing all your troubles away. Simplicity can also be as simple as having a picnic along the beach, with the sunny Mr. Sunshine greeting you. When the night comes, you can do nothing but just sit quietly on the beach, hearing the splashing sound of the waves and enjoying the view of the quiet sky filled with stars and the moon. If you have the energy, you may just stay through the night and wait till sunrise. How beautiful can that be?
However, stress from this globalised world can be very breath-taking. Sometimes, I just wished I could leave everything aside and go for a short vacation-a short yet fulfilling one. One that would allow myself to leave off my stress, cause' I just felt that everything is moving too fast. It's just like yesterday that 2013 had just past and we were all anticipating 2014. Look at now! It's already August of 2014! 8 months had just past by at the blink of an eye! How scary can that be.
Speaking about August, it is my beloved Papa's birthday! He is 53 years old this year. How time flies~~
It just feels like it was yesterday that he just became a father. But look at now, his kids had turned into young adults. Sometimes, I would felt blessed to have such great family members. I had totally no regrets to had been born into this loving family. Though sometimes we would quarrel, I believed that we love each other deeply. We went to have dinner at Long Beach Restaurant at Kallang area. After that, we went to stroll along Kallang and we went to Sports Hub. Strolling along anywhere with them just made me feel very secured.
But, I still kept the secret from my dad. He still doesn't know that I had bought him a cake. It was when we reached home that I disclosed it to him. He was shocked that I would actually buy him a cake.
Though it feels like a kid, I told him it's alright cause' as long as you liked it, anything is worth the buy. I knew he liked to watch soccer, so I decided to break the childish trend and buy him this cute cake.
I took some couple shots for my parents and it looks like this:
The first is normal shot. But as for the second one, I told my parents to kiss. :P HAHA!! And my father's reaction was like MEH! So old already still kiss for what. That's when I told him that even though they are old, they still need to show the love for each other and that's how love should be managed.
So here is a family photos of us:
While singing the birthday song, I felt something was amiss. His facial expression changed. I knew he would tear. He was probably touched as I had never bought him a cake.
So apparently, he was cutting the cake while holding onto a piece of tissue. :P
We shouldn't have the thought that there is no need to dote on them anymore since they are so old already. It's because they are old already that we need to dote on them even more. Treasure them for everything they had done for you. All those selfless sacrifices they had made for your well-being should all be appreciated. It's not their job to feed you. It's all simply because of one word, and that is care. All they did is care. Hence, we need to treasure them.
And lastly, I would like to share this song with all my readers.
It is a K-Pop song. I really love K-Pop, especially songs that can describe emotions. The song is titled "Common Words". So common words to me could be words like "I love you", "I miss you"...... But do people really mean it when they say? Or do they say it out of randomness? Well, at least I would mean it if I say.....

Fairytale Feat Sweet Rendezvous

What's better than meeting your loved ones, after a long and hectic day at school, right? Met my Mummy for dinner. XOXO... Since she doesn't have to work today, of course I would take this time out to bond with her. People may say that what's the need of having to bond with someone you had been living with everyday. Well, I would like to say that we can't take simple happiness for granted. Waking up to a brand new day, knowing that your loved ones are still healthy, makes the best out of your whole day and starts the day right. It's because we had been living with them and facing them everyday, that we need to appreciate what they had done for us. Though sometimes they do complain about frustrations, it's definitely normal. I mean who wouldn't complain when they are vex, right?
So brought her out for dinner after that. I told her to decide on the venue and I shall foot the bill. After walking around Bedok Mall, she decided to dine at Ramen Play. When dining with elderlies, we have to be careful of the things they intake. Food that are not suitable for their ages like that shouldn't be dine too often. Hence, I have to let her choose food that would suit herself, and of course I am perfectly fine with it.
After dining, we shopped around. Though I am a guy, I still have to admit that I love shopping. Regardless of window shopping or shopping with an aim, both works for me. She told me her shoe peeled off at the back, so I brought her around the mall to find her a pair of shoes. In the end, we bought both cause' she simply likes both :p
At first, I wanted to buy her those shoes. But she told me not to, cause' due to some superstitions. Here goes the conversation(Broken English):
Me: Mummy, you like arh? I buy for you lah!
Mummy: Cannot lah! Cannot buy shoe for people one lah!
Me: Nevermind lah! You are my mummy! You won't possibly run away one lah.
Mummy: Who says?
Me: Aiya! If you want run, you would have done it long ago.
HAHAHAHA. Totally can LOL!! She is damn cute, but sometimes she is really getting on my nerves. This is how family is supposed to be. There are bound to be disagreements and arguments. But at the end of the day, we know deeply inside our hearts, that we love each other VERY VERY MUCH!
After shopping for shoes, I brought her to some accessories shop cause' I told her I shopped alone the other time and found some suitable accessories that she may like it. She really does like it. Again, I offer to buy for her and told her not to look at the price cause' I really don't mind pampering her. Recalling in the past, our family financial status isn't that well-off. However, we still managed to pull it off till now. I remembered deeply those poor days that we had been through. It's really not easy for my parents. That is why I think I should reward and pamper them whenever I could. Last month, I bought her the Bio Essence 24K Gold Serum that can whiten her skin tone. Though it cost me $70, I really don't mind as long as she like it and that she is happy. I also bought my parents a blender that cost $100. Haha. Truthfully, it's not that I am rich cause' without them, there wouldn't be me. Trust me! We should all appreciate our parents. Do appreciate your siblings as well, cause' you always would have something to pick up from them, no matter how small it is. I dare to admit that I love my parents and my brother and future sis-in-law! OOPPPSSSSS!!!! *Blushes immediately*
After shopping for shoes, guess what we shopped for? Haha it's cosmetics! I don't mind entering a cosmetic shop with her cause' she needs me to be her magnifying glasses. Seeing how my mummy adores the cosmetics so much, I decided to sneakily approach the cashier. BUT SHE CAUGHT ME, AGAINNNNN!!! NOOOOOOO!!!! :( Nevermind, next time I shall buy for her when she is not with me!
So after that, me and mummy went to order cake for my dad. We actually customized it so that it will be special and not a can-be-bought-off-rack kind of cake. I ask mummy to choose the design and I pay for it, cause' she would know her husband the best. #teehee
Ended the day with extreme satisfaction, all thanks to ma' mummy! Yay! Till the next time! Ciaos.
