Mother's Day 2008

What I did? I sms-ed my faraway sister to buy a cake, which was on me, for my faraway mom in Australia. She settled with a green tea cake which to me it looks so much like an overgrown cabbage sitting on top of a layered sponge cake.


Cute yet scary...

As for my in laws, hubby and i bought a cake and it comes with a fresh carnation flower as a present for the mom. It was thoughtful in a way but when mom received that flower she laughed. She knew it's the tactic of cake houses nowadays to have "complimentary" flowers but i guess the cost has been added into the cake's price. We celebrated during lunch, cut cake, open up a red wine, took photos and all giggles away happily.

My thought? 2008 was kinda special for me thinking that i'm a mother-to-be and will i ever get to have celebrations from my kids in future? How long will it take for them to comprehend the actual meaning behind over-commercialised Mother's Day? I joked with my mom that my ah B will need many more years to come to be able to celebrate Mother's Day with me. Jokingly and yet so true, she replied "It doesn't matter cuz I also waited until today for my kids to understand it." I love my mom and now, my momS. Moms are indeed the greatest friends you can find on the Earth. Of course, dads aren't forgotten. They play significant roles in the family too! No money no talk! Dads are the greatest free ATM machines God has ever supply to human beings.
