Sister, the Ranter

*Saturday, 17th May 2008*

It was mom's 60th birthday last Thursday (15th May) but I'm stuck here because of work. Anyway, sis texted me on Thursday, saying that she came back home to celebrate with mom and they're going out for dinner.

I called home after work and had a brief talk with mom, updating her a bit on myself here.

While I was having my dinner alone that night, sis texted me again, continuosly.

"Really can't stand your family anymore. Everyone come all the way from home to this restaurant in Pasir Putih but they ordered steam fish la, belacan kangkung la and the roadside stall dishes. If want to order those, why come so far to this restaurant? Your brother's girlfriend bought her present, she say troublesome. I bought her a shirt, sharing with your brother, she say not nice. Sometimes really feel fed up with them. Really don't know what to say."

I text her back.

"Aiya, never mind lah, as long as they like it, then okay loh. No need to have really expensive food."

When I read it again afterward, I think it's too brief. Maybe because it's not the first time she rants to me about home or maybe because I'm eating!

"You know what I had with my last half portion of my rice? Those garnishing cucumber slices and tomatoes dipped in soy sauce and bird's eye chillies."

.......

That sounds bad.

"Ok lah, then next year no need to go out and celebrate. Just eat at home. Done."

Few minutes later...

"Wei, when you come back next week, you decide on what to buy for her la. Here already got 2 boxes of bird's nest and one box of chicken essence. If buy bird's nest, don't buy those ready to drink ones."

Conclusion?
Eventhough she said that she's fed up, but she never stop talking about mom. :)
