I found out from Melia about mom's 'surprise' visit just less than 2 weeks before her scheduled arrival.
I was excited and annoyed at the same time...she didn't tell me she was coming. Excited of course, as I haven't seen her for almost 1 year already. Also annoyed...the element of surprise was sweet really. But I could do with more notice as it was difficult for me to shift my schedule last minute.
I believe my mom's intention was to surprise me, at the same time I suppose mom being mom didn't want to trouble me. Still...mother came all the way ler...takkan don't go meet her up rite? Lucky Melia had the sense to let me know. Imagine Mom arriving in Heathrow...and rang me..and say..HI WE"RE HERE..WANT TO MEET UP? Siau...already it took me 1 week's planning just to get down to London.
Long story cut short:
She and Ee Ee missed their flight. Came 1 day later. Andy, Shaun and I were galavanting in London aimlessly, but managed to gorge on our cravings for M'sian and Chinese food. We had a nice time staying in a cozy, tastefully done 3 floor apartment in Central London (although AJ was snoring like a mad train the whole nite and I had to sneak to the living room to have some peace).
And I only managed to see mom for about 4 hours. 4 HOURS! well...I guess better than nothing.
Mom hasn't change at all. Still slim as always (AJ always say if I inherit her genes he'll be happy to grow old with me). Considering this is her first ever trip she was holding extremely well even despite her jet lag and the biting cold. I really wish I had more time with her..so much to tell her...so much to show her.
Too bad I couldn't shift my night rota that week. Else I'd been in Paris with her. How I wish...
Anyway...she must be quite jinxed with travelling. Dah la missed flight from KL-London. Apparently both of them (She and my Ee Ee) were stuck in Paris. God knows what went wrong with the bookings....flight was cancelled. Luckily managed to get another plane home from Amsterdam..albeit 2 days later.
ATTA MOM....first ever trip and you've covered LONDON, PARIS, BRUSSELS and AMSTERDAM.
BOOHOOHOO.....I also want to go!!!! No money to go how?
