Rupster says "About Mothers Day 2010"

This year Mother's Day celebration was sort of looked forward to because there had been advance planning from both sides. So we knew what to expect. And when there's something in Gombak it means it time for a reunion for the family. Though not all but the KL population alone is enough to crowd the whole house. Right from the porch to the kitchen!

Before we see what happened in Gombak, we shall see what happened on the eve. Eve was a very last minute planning. We decided to have a pot-luck this time. It was mother's day cum birthday celebration at KK's. The day was opened with 2 bottles of champagne, followed by the main course that included KFC, mutton cry, scrambled eggs, mix vegatable and to go along it what some stringhopers and prathas'. Drink was fruit punch with mixed fruits.

As the clock stroked 12, we had a countdown and sang the Happy Birthday song as well as Happy Mothers Day song in which the the words were created just as we sang along! The day ended almost about 2 am.

At home it was very much quite, because mum had to prepare a dish for Gombak. Gombak's concept has always been a pot-luck concept. Thus, our dish was fried mee. As we reached there, we were welcomed by the groups of uncles and boys sitting at porch for some air (mind you, these boys are married with kids yea...but to each other we are still boys and girls). Than we were greeted by the aunties and the group of girls. As Rupster approached the dining it was totally concurred by the 3rd generation of the family. Even that they had groups. For the secondary school group and the primary school group!

After wishing all the mother's around Rupster realise grandma was still on bed. Usually if everyone is there she is up and sitting on her chair. This time she was not. Gave a peep into her room and realise she was asleep. She was not looking the usual self of hers.

Than one group went in to get her to at least talk. Poor response. Her eyes were close all the time. Only we could feel her hand movements. She's never been this bad though. Everyone sort of panicked. But God's grace after constant tries she finally got back to normal. Manage to walk her out of the room to her chair. After dinner we had the cake cutting ceremony and we even made her to pose her famouse "very good" sign that was taught to her by one of the grandson.

It was indeed a good get together  in Gomabk. As usual, we all had so much of catching up to. With all the stories and each others updates ever since we met the last time. Though everyone could not make it, at least it was something than nothing. But Rupster still misses Superhero. Superhero did not come. Its been so long since we last met!

As  things were better in Gombak, we rushed to Old Klang road to join the dinner. This time was for mum's side. We reached there to see that they were done eating. So they ordered a dish for Rupster and family to eat and than headed to Swensence SS2 for ice cream for the dessert section. The Kandiah's were also not complete but it was again something than nothing.

A day that was indeed fun but very tiring. Lots of work and adding up to that college work. It was indeed a day to be remembered.

To all mothers out there its not to late to wish you all a very HAPPY MOTHER'S DAY!!!

P/s Yes Rupster had 3 cakes in 2 days!
