" A mother's love for her child is like nothing else in the world. It knows no law, no pity. It dares all things and crushes down remorselessly all that stands in its path. "

Agatha Christie.

I finally have the time to post another long overdue post and it has been one hell of a week. So anyways, I do remember posting about my mother's birthday last year, and here I am again, doing a post on my mother's birthday. One year had just passed like that, a snap of a finger, a blink of an eye ... And within this year alone, I have faced so many trouble and problems, yet my mother never fails to stay by me giving me her never-ending support and love.

One such example would be going through University Examinations for the very first time. Everything felt so different, be it studying methods or questions asked: it was just felt like a whole bunch of alien language to me. So many times I just felt like quitting or just giving up, my mother will be there, trying her best to make me feel safe, telling me to stay strong. It is amazing how a mother's love knows no end.

Due to my mother's sensitivity towards her age, I shall not mention how old she is this year :P I remembered I just had an argument with my bf regarding certain issues, and it was on the day of my mother's birthday. What horrible timing, I know. But through my mother's kind soothing words, the bf and I sorted our differences out.

My mother, younger brother, the bf and I made our way to Tampines Mall to meet up with my grandparents, which they had already reserved seats in Pizza Hut. Gosh, God knows how long it has been since the last time I had a meal at Pizza Hut. I really do miss their cheese crusted pizza which does not seem to go out of trend, lucky me! :)














After having such a filling dinner, I could say that I was too full to even think about having another bite. But, there is always space for desserts!! :) Heehee. I was keeping an eye out for a nice cake for my mother, but she kept insisting that I should just save my money. Of course, I went on to buy a cake for her, with her favourite flavour: coffee! ^^ My parents and grandparents headed home first while my brother, bf and I continued walking around Tampines Mall for a while longer. Well, back at home, I actually found out that my elder brother had bought another cake for my mother to compensate for him not being able to celebrate my mother's birthday along with the rest of us.




My mother's cake! :)





My super adorable mother here :) Don't mind my elder brother's friend and my bf at the sides.





Mummy posing with the cake~ :D





This picture was actually quite hilarious: my grandfather snatched the cake from my mother and insisted on carrying the cake, wanting to be the centre of attention. And my mother had to snatch it back from him, but of course in the end they held the cake together. Haha my family indeed is adorable.

Here is my elder brother's gift to my mother! :) Looks delicious right, but not as nice as mine!!! Hahahaha just joking. Well, we didn't eat two cakes at once, we celebrated with another cake on the next day when my elder brother is finally at home to participate along with the celebration.








All in all, my mother's birthday was a huge success! Even though we didn't organize any special extravagant party for her, she was quite very happy with the simple celebration among the family members :) Another year has gone by and it has got me contemplating: how much I've grown under my mother's wings and it has no doubt brought us closer together, not only as mother and daughter but as friends. I truly believe that my mother can be my best friend too. We spent hours watching C.S.I together, spent hours baking treats for different occasions and of course shopping :) Be it shopping online or shopping at malls, I sincerely appreciate the time we had together.

I wish I could give more back to her, after all her sacrifices sown into this family and into my upbringing. It is amazing how strong a mother's love is and I will never forget how much she has done for me. This post will be a reminder to me to take better care of my mother as the years go by. She will always be my role model in life and I will always hold her sincerely in my heart. Thank you mummy and happy (belated) birthday!
