The greatest pillar of support and source of love;

I'm learning to appreciate my mum a little bit more each day as I grow up. With every day that passes, I experience different things, feel different emotions, meet different people and learn. And with all these, I return home to my mum who'd always be either busy with the household chores or stuck in front of her favourite drama serial. I've always been wondering how she can bear the mental exhaustion from work and still come home to prepare dinner and perform daily chores. I am guilty of not helping her sometimes, being very nua/sloth-like when I'm home. Point is - I really do admire my mum a lot. She hasn't had it easy all these years either, with three naughty daughters (though I daresay I should be at the bottom of the naughty list at home) ;P Okay, maybe naughty is the wrong word to use. But anyway, I think it should hit everyone that - with each day that we're growing older, our mummy is too. When we were all kids, most of us are fortunate being born in this generation, we didn't have that much to worry about as compared to our parents'/grandparents' generation. And when we were really young kids, or maybe it's just me, there was this mindset that our mother will be there for us and with us throughout. And as we grow up and learn more things about how the world is and how it works, we know that one day she will leave us due to old age etc. In the recent years, I spot wrinkles on mummy's face, and I'd always urge her to go for her facial/spa appointments more frequently. Not because I'm promoting vanity, but I realize it's because I don't want to see her age (which I know of course, is impossible). I always laugh at my mum telling her that she's half a century old already, and at this point of time, I just want her to enjoy herself by buying things that she likes, go on trips with daddy etc. All in all, I'm thankful to have my mum as my mum! :') I am not the academically smartest one at home, neither am I the most ideal kind of daughter perhaps, but I am thankful for all the naggings, scoldings, care, concern, words of wisdom, support, protection and love showered upon me for the past 21 years. And I am thankful that in this life you've given birth to two daughters before I came into existence, giving me two awesome (SOMETIMES ONLY LAH HAHA) sisters, hehe x.

Gave mummy a treat at Pizzeria Mozza at MBS on Saturday! Nommmm.

The complimentary snack was really addictive! :) We ordered grilled asparagus with parma ham, grated parmesan and olive oil as our starter. And for our pizza we had the Prosciutto di Parma, rucola, tomato & mozzarella. Super satisfying lunch! Loved the service too! Will definitely return (Y)

Mummyyyyy! :) 

At the end of the day, I rewarded myself with a new toy that I've been doing lots of 'research' (hurhur) on for the past 1-2 months:

The Samsung Galaxy Camera. 

Check out the official advert! Intrigued! :) Haven't really explored it thoroughly yet! Will do so this week! :)

“But there's a story behind everything. How a picture got on a wall. How a scar got on your face. Sometimes the stories are simple, and sometimes they are hard and heartbreaking. But behind all your stories is always your mother's story, because hers is where yours begin.”
