Whykay's happenings

May is the time...

Well, it's the month my youngest brother's birthday falls on. As it happens, the communions are on, so we had problems in the past, especially last year trying to book a cake, even three days in advance. The cakes we get from Ivan's are really fresh, last year's one was less on the freshness side. This year, I went to pick up the cake in the morning around 10.30am, there was hardly any customers. The cashiers were twiddling their thumbs. I picked up the cake, checked for a newspaper to pick up near the cashiers, and a lady asked if I minded she'll take those to her counter so I can pay for them. I walked past the 3/4 cashiers looking at me, around the corner to the lady's counter and paid for the items. It must have been a really slow morning. When the cake was cut by my brother after the usual Happy Birthday song and blowing out of candles, I took a bite out of my slice of cake.... mmmmm, really fresh and fluffy. Delish! I bet you anything, that it's something to do with the recession, parents are not forking out a fortune for communions this year. Sure enough, I read this today in the Indo, Communion cash to be sacrificed amid downturn.
