pretty cupcakes are good :)

It was Mum's birthday yesterday, so my sister and I planned a surprise birthday cupcakes delivery for her. The cupcakes were to be delivered in the late evening so I planned to only call her then. So I deliberately did not wish her in the morning as I used to, and she got a little bit annoyed. She then gave me a call in the afternoon.

Mum : Are you out of credit?

Me : Umm no.

Mum : So I was wondering why didn't you wish me early in the morning like you used to?

Me : *stammers* ....because I wanted to wish you during the night?

Mum : Why? 

Me : ....because...night's a great time to wish someone! (Such an idiotic excuse)

Mum : I don't get it...

Me : Alright, happy birthday mum!

So my own mother kinda spoiled the surprise I prepared for her, but thankfully I managed to wriggle my way out of that one by rambling about my final exam. Of course, that launched an entirely different kind of conversation.

Mum : Now don't you forget to start your revision early. Focus during class and stop playing around. Limit the amount of time with internet. And for God's sake try not to fall asleep during the lectures!

That was of course, a bit exaggerated. My mum will never say 'for God's sake'. But it added a bit of flair to the dialogue and everyone knows I love to exaggerate stuff.

Anyway, turns out that the surprise worked! Mum was suprised at the delivery so she's happy, I'm happy, everyone's happy, alhamdulillah :)

She called after the cupcakes were delivered to express her happiness, and told me how she thought that I actually forgot her birthday, and complained to Dad, who knew about my plan.

Mum : I wonder why didn't Ana wish me like she used to.

Dad : Now don't you think badly of her.

Mum : It's not that. Maybe she doesn't have any credit that she didn't call. If she didn't then she should have told us, so that I can go and buy some. I mean, why didn't she say anything.

Dad : Don't worry about it. You might get more than a birthday wish later.

Mum : Yeah but I want our children to remember their parents' birthdays...

Heh I just love how my mum was annoyed with me. But I wish that I could see the expression on my mother's face when she received the cupcakes.

this is love

For the last time, happy birthday mum! <3
