not quiet mothers day - girls talk into the night...

i am one stuffed turkey hahaha rather stuffed iffa... it was quiet a dinner. Its actually an early Mother;s Day treat for my mom seeing she wont be in town for mother's day next week and she has been wanting to eat at this restaurant for like ages and every time we planned it something seem to come up. poor mom. so finally we went this week and she was gleaming heehee...
We went to a place called Han River Restaurant. Its a place that does table bbq - we have grilled items and steam items - cook it yourself place. i thinks its typically known as a Korean bbq. They have a whole buffet of meats, vegetables, seafoods, mostly asian , desserts, diffrent kinds of foods , fruits you name it its all there. Its an all you can eat buffet but the fun part is you get to cook it yourself .....So we were there for like an hour or more and boy did we eat ... we didnt have rice - tons of veggies meats (beef bugoti, black pepper beef & lamb) all nicely grilled on our personal grill...we ate and ate and ate lol lol .... you could have as much soft ice cream with toppings n it was all vanilla.........i know someone who loves vanilla .. heeheee ... there was traditional ice cream on sticks , yumm yumm i had a coconut flavored one ..... we had ice kacang - a local dessert which is shredded ice topped with palm sugar, rose syrup, and some other toppings like jelly, red beans, chendol anything and everything it seems .... ...it was GOOOOODDDD ..... (there goes my diet ... but come to think of it its a diet cos there we did not not rice..... just meat seafood n veggies ..oh well its only one day ... besides its a special day ....... i have an excuse *giigle*.................

inspite of it being a long day we had a nice evening none the less... every was happy especially the moms present that evening...

i guess i wont be getting any vibes or news from 'C' today since he did say that he wont be on for a while ..... ....................hmmmm

spent the later part of the night having a slumber party with my mom and cousin. we hung out in my mom's room and had a nice evening talking about a whole lot of things ... we looked back on old times -- we talked about my grandmother and her strong spirit -- what a great cook she was and the adventures he has had in her life.... being married at a young age into a big family is tough for any woman but she was tough .... go grandma! .. My mom reminnesed which is always nice. The younger generation needs to know more about their past - so much to learn and gather from ... one things for sure life then seem to be a whole lot simple and less complicated..... wouldnt it be nice to be there and re lived the life they had.. from what i hear from mom
it sounded really fun ... the holiday home on the water @ Stulang must be one of the many things our generation missed out on. The house was on water and there was a bridge that lead out to the middle of the sea .. the went swimming caught fishes and crabs.... back to nature .... ahhhh those were the days for them .. what an experience it might have been the present generation .....

election results coming in slowly ... too sickly and tired to wait so its off to la la land for me ...........
