Etcetera: Happy birthday mom!!

Happy Birthday mom!

This house is never the same since you left. After our dinner last night, I watched Herb going around in circle around the kitchen. I was puzzled when I saw him over my shoulder while I was washing dishes. I asked him, "what is that you are looking for" then he turned around and looking so sad and blurted, "it's sad Beng, she's not here anymore".. then I turned around and gave him a hug.. we both got quite for a little bit then we resumed.

Donny was over . Dad made the dinner, again.

This morning we woke up early. Herb had a lot of things to talk about to this guy in downtown. He came back with a lot of knowledge about properties, retirement and stuff that Dad want him to know about. So that was productive. Also he said that he went by you to say hi. He really missed you. It's like nothing can describe his sadness that you are not here. He's got difficult time accepting and I really understand. I don't think there is something out there to make him at peace. He was telling me that he didn't get a signal or anything like that from you that you are okay or some sort. He is looking for something that I can't describe.

We went to the gym today. It's blustery day. After we were done with the gym, we went to some store and picked up some stuff we need at the house. We went by the shop to pick up Matt. He was there while we were gone to the gym. Dad has internet there now and that's what entertained Matt there the most besides meeting some new faces that supposedly to be family member.

We went to Kabuki tonight to celebrate your birthday. Donny was our designated driver although he has some saki..! It was hilarious watching him eating salmon sushi...hahhaa.. Herb kept telling him that he is not eating sushi so that is why he needed to eat that salmon. You should've seen his face.. it wasn't his cup of tea..!! but though he love the dessert part. He ordered Mochi. It's an ice cream round stuff that the waitress told him that it's better to eat them with bare fingers..LOL.. and they did. Donny was something couldn't believe that Matt can eat sushi and I believe that maybe why he tried a piece..!

We went by Starbucks tonight after the big dinner. I am not sure why uncle Donny had to go that but I was going along with it. He got me and herb coffee, him a decaf coffee and Matt with his hot chocolate with a slice of some chocolate cake. It's yummy.. he had me try some.
