Hi Daddy,
Mommy took us to the newly opened McDonald’s restaurant in Bandar Baru Bangi yesterday. It was a surprise – she made us go to bed earlier than usual the night before because she said she didn’t want me to be late for school. When I went downstairs in the morning to have breakfast, Mom said we had no time for breakfast. I had to put on my shoes quickly or I would be late for the bus.

Mom drove past the bus pick-up point. So I thought Mom was going to take me to school. But instead she took me, Edrick and Bibik to a new McDonald’s! The restaurant looked so much like the restaurant I thought I had been to before. After all, they all look alike to me! There were not many people yesterday morning despite it being a 24-hour outlet.

I got even more excited when I saw the big Play Area! But Mom did not let me play because I had to go to school right after breaky. I wasn’t happy, but Mom’s the boss!

Nevertheless, it was good to have McDonald’s breakfast yesterday. Instead of the usual McMuffin with Egg, I asked for the Hotcakes, Dad! I cleaned up both the two pieces – with Maple Syrup. Slurp! (But your pancakes are still the bestest, Daddy! I was just hungry.) When you come home, if you are too tired or too lazy to make pancakes, Mom said she will take you to McDonald’s for Hotcakes or Big Breakfast.

Edrick woke up early for the surprise breakfast as well. Lucky boy, he didn’t have to go to school right after – because he is already on school holidays that started last week. He sat up nicely at breakfast and tagged along with me even to the washroom at McDonald’s when I had to go wash my hands. After breakfast, Mom drove me to school. Edrick and Bibik came with. Even Aunty Mas came with. But they just stayed in the car while Mom took me to my Home Room.

It was a good day yesterday, Daddy.
But I know it would have been even better if you were with us and if I didn’t have to miss you.

Well, 24 more sleeps before you are home. I think I need a big calendar so I can cross some boxes and so I can stop bugging Mommy every time I lose count of the sleeps. She says she’s not counting. She doesn’t lose count of the sleeps either. She just loses sleeps. You know Mom!

Okay Dad, I hope you enjoy looking at these pictures. I sure loved the McDonald’s breakfast yesterday. But not as much as I love you! I asked Mom if she could send you hugs and kisses as attachment with this email. Mom said, of course. I hope you can open all these attachments on your Blackberry and they are not too big. My hugs are sure big, Daddy. Edrick’s too. One hundred million Gigabytes, Mom counted.

Love you Daddy.

Your Maple Syrup Daughter,
Kitreena
