BELATED MOTHER'S DAY

MOTHER'S DAY in Malaysia is celebrated on the second Sunday of May, 9.5 this year. OK, this post is way late but with Movement Control Order 3.0 (partial lockdown) imposed on 6.5, I should be forgiven. I had to run off to a friend's place to stay a couple of days to just chill before I start another routine of Cook, Cook, Cook. Mother Hubbard at her cupboard.

Kim has really thoughtful children. Not a year goes by without gifts on Mother's Day, Father's Day, Christmas, Chinese New Year and Birthdays. Her children are all working far from home, but they never fail to remember their mum.

Her daughter in Penang sent an "anypow" (red packet with money) and some crochet dolls and dresses she made. A really unusual and making something oneself for a gift is truly a gift from the H♥eart.

Her son and his girlfriend in Singapore sent a cake with fruit tarts 

and a bouquet of broccoli. Kim receives a cake for every occasion from Singapore. I sometimes wonder how she stays so slim.

Yeah, during lockdown, broccoli is more valuable than flowers. 

Ha... another thoughtful Mother's Day gift. This would have kept mummy and papa safe and indoors for at least one week.

My neighbour is a Supermum as she holds a full-time job plus taking care of 1 kid and 2 teenagers. Her 10-year-old daughter made her breakfast in bed. She woke up at 6am to prepare breakfast while the two teenage boys slept through. She tried to get her brothers to help, but the teens were hanging out of their beds "dead" to the world.

And from my Savvy K who daily pushes her borders and drives me up the wall.

Behind every child who believes in him/herself is a mother who believed first.
