Today is mom's birthday. I called her a few times last night, but she never answered. Then she called me back an hour later and I got to wish her a very happy birthday.
I also talked to Hui Fang on MSN before I went to bed. She was having a difficult time deciding whether to go through with her surgery next month or not. A friend of hers took her clothes to someone, who looked at or examined her clothes and told her friend to tell her not to have the surgery this year. I know, I didn't quite understand it either. That person sounded like a special kind of a psychic or fortune teller. It was clear she took his words very seriously. So I said if she truly was not ready, she should take care of her body now and visit her doctor every month for the rest of the year. When January finally comes, I told her, she can do it then. She liked my idea.
I called mom again this morning to tell her about HF's condition and her interest in starting an online shopping site and that she might call her for suggestions. Mom was sympathetic and enthusiastic about talking to HF. I don't know if it's a good idea to introduce them. Dad got HF a job years ago at his friend's company, and ended up causing her much grief and resentment towards her boss, who happened to be my dad's friend. Also, mom isn't the most reliable person I know. I wonder if this will turn out badly. Let's hope not.
