Happy Birthday Mak Ee

I was back in my hometown over the weekend. The initial agenda was to celebrate the birthday of an aunt. This aunt is my mother's cousin sister. Affectionately, we all call her "Mak Ee" (same effect as god-mother). This aunt is never married and never have kids of her own. But she is like a mother to myself, my brother and all the other cousins.
When we were all younger, she helped to look after us. She would help my grandma with the household chores as well as to discipline us. (Yes, she is one of my favourite terrorist victims when I was Rambo). And in a way, I can say that out of so many nieces and nephews, I'm one of her favourites. (I don't know what SI measurement that is used to gauged this, but all my other aunties seem to say so).
She never forgets any of the nephews or nieces favourite food. She always remember that my favourite dish is something called Onion Chicken. (Deep fried chicken with onion cooked over steamy hot sambal). Without fail she will have that dish on the table everytime I go back home for a visit. She is my mentor when it comes to cooking and cleaning the house. She is one of the reason that I'm quite an all rounder (literally round) and a perfect candidate for a house husband.
She turns 70 years old on October 12th. Happy Birthday Mak Ee. Thanks for everything! May you be well, healthy and happy. May you live for many, many, many more years to come.
