#232 dearest mother;

HAPPY BIRTHDAY!

i baked my mum a cake.

it's a strawberry baked cheesecake, but the base is actually sponge.

but since its under a layer of cheese, the sponge is a little condensed.

it doesn't look that good in the photo.

but i definitely tastes better than it looks.

we ate it just before and she loved it.

she said if i don't take any of it to work tmr

by the time i get home it would be all gone.

:)

i also took her out to dinner in footscray

my mum wanted to go to lentil as anything

but jacky was calling me cheap

because technically you don't have to pay anything there

but it wasn't my fault, she said she wanted to go

though, i ended up taking her out for chinese

roast duck rice and crispy fried noodle

yum!

also, a funny thing that we always do

cos we're an asian family

and we always eat at that same place

we always never finish it and end up doggy bagging

and it'd be dinner for the next day.

always.

but we've been going to that same restaurant for YEARS.

i would say over a course of 10 years

when it was in a different location.

though i know that say sonja's restaurant would hate doggy bagging

but since its a restaurant in footscray

(food is cheap, and the people who eat their are mostly cheap)

you kind of have to offer that service because heaps of asians go there

and if you don't, they go elsewhere.

anyhow, i also gave my mum a present

its a bath robe, but its really soft

and for some reason it took us ages to find one.

side note: why does myer not have soft bath robes? they were quite rough. not a single one. and david jones wasn't much better either. and they are the expensive stores. i ended up getting it from cotton on & it was super soft :)

i rate myself highly as a daughter.

i baked a cake, took her out to dinner and bought a present.

& i think that if i were a boy, i'd make a really good boyfriend.

haha.
