My mum's trip in Melbourne
Finally, after 2 1/2 years in Melbourne with no family members in Melbourne, I have my mum visit me for my Graduation. So so so happy. I am a Graduate *winks*. I think, I was not too excited about the graduation itself. Maybe a lil bit. What amazed me was the fact that I was so excited to have my mum in Melbourne. First up on the list, I wanted to show her where I work, Nandos . Not until the last day when we had dinner at Nandos, I knew that mum loves the Chicken Thighs Fillets with Rib sauce and Extra Hot sauce, rather then the normal 1/2 Chicken. HHmm...if only I knew it earlier.
My beloved mum is a conservative mum. She is sometimes reserved. It's either because of her inability to communicate in English or she is shy. Touring around Melbourne with her was quite exhausting though. If I could feel tired, I am sure she was more tired than me. The places she loves most maybe is Big W , a retail store selling everything from chocolates, kitchenware, electronics to appliances. She is the typical mum, loves to see and browse every single rows filled with kitchenwares. Haha.
On her first day in Melbourne, mum has bought my Dad a black leather hat. For him to wear while riding his Harley, maybe. How cool is that? I guess, they both are really dependent and attached to each other. She was concerned when she found out one night dad slept at 8pm, which was really rare. "Just tired or was he sick?".
On the graduation day. I met up with Irene's and Valene's gank @ Bowen Lane in RMIT to take picture with our graduation gawns. Woohoo..finally. 1st round was at 11.30 am. And the second round was at 5.30 pm, when we met up again before we headed off to Telstra Dome , where the graduation ceremony was held.
Picture session was sooo much fun. I love to see how expressive Irene and her mum are. Secretly, I envy them, just a lil bit. Coz I can never ask mum to take 'funny' or 'crazy' pictures..Hehe. Nvm..I love Mum the way she is. On the night, I could feel my nerve. And I knew Mum was soo tired too plus bored. Coz the whole thing took more than 2 hours. But I am glad to see her chatting with Irene's mum ;), at least they can get along well. I had a great night. Took pictures with Liz, Marion, Auskar, Gavin, the gals and some others.
On her last day in Melbourne, I took her to iKea. She loves most of the things displayed in the showroom. But she said she couldn't buy them all, coz it's not possible to take back home. She loves the Spoka lights. She bought 3 in different colors and shapes. Red, Blue and Green. They are damn cute.
Despite her hesitancy to hug me, especially in the airport that night, overall I spent the last few days full of love ;)
