Of food, cars and relationships.

Dim sum at Carlton Hotel. With mum, brother and dasao. This cantonese restaurant called Wah Lok. If I remember correctly. Heh. They had these famous Bo LUO char siew bao (roast pork buns?) and they were really good. The skin was soft and succulent (Don't they always describe skin like that?)

The new car came today! I learnt how to operate it, and took it for a short spin. Major differences are that the accelerator pedal and steering wheel are both ultra sensitive (compared to previous), and I need to know how to operate the car alarm system (Mum screwed up and the neighbourhood must have been irritated by the ringing.).

Mum talked to me on the car trip to dim sum about house moving. We then stepped into talking about her relationship with this guy. He used to be a very rich businessman at his peak, but some failures caused his fall, and he's just average income wise but well he's semi retired anyway. He has 2 sons both married (about age 31 and 29), and a daughter who's 25 and lives with him. Their mother died some 7 years ago. Mum came up with 4 suggestions if they get married.
- stay here, the father and daughter to move in.
- move in with the father and daughter.
- all four stay in the 2nd son's flat (which is currently vacant since the son and his wife are in China). When they return then decide again.
- buy a new house and all four to stay together.

I told mum obviously I prefer to stay here, and she said they don't mind this route, especially this house is nearer the daughter's workplace. Mum said she preferred moving out to a brand new hut, which was my 2nd choice.

I told her I don't mind this new marriage or a merge in family. She was very relieved and said that I am really matured (dong3 shi4). I don't mind an elder sister too! =)
