Mom's the best

Happy Mother's Day to all mommies  and especially to my Mummy and MIL dearest..

Mother's Day

A bit late in telling the story in my blog but we (mom, MIL, SILs and myself) had some fun spending Mother's Day on two separate occasions. We celebrated Mothers' Day in advance simply to avoid the crowd and footing the hefty bills on the actual day if you know what I mean...I bet many made the same move as we did am sure ;p

Anyway, that Friday evening, we brought MIL together with FIL, BIL and two other friends to Krishnan Curry House as MIL likes Indian food. Then on Saturday evening us, my siblings and family treated my mum together with my dad for a Chinese seafood dinner at the Gaderian Seafood Restaurant near Solomon Jetty. It was our first time there...We almost didn't get a table as I didn't know the place was soo popular...all the tables were reserved when my eldest bro arrived there!! That was only half an hour after the restaurant opened at 6.30pm!! Holly molly...thank goodness big bro knew one of the staff there so he kindly opened and joined two rectangle tables for us...just nice for all of us..phew...so if you intend to dine there be sure to make your reservation! I was told that the crab dish and the sliced fish with garlic and ginger dishes are nice. We wanted to order crabs but much to my disappointment all their crabs were booked too!! Oh boy...but worry not as we ordered the other dishes...I do like their steamed fish...their frog delicacy cooked with dried chilli and big onions smells yummy though I didn't dare to try haha...the rest of the dishes i.e. Sabah vege with belacan (shrimp paste), Kailan with garlic, prawns cooked with butter (not the typical butter prawn though..), steamed chicken and fish maw soup were quite okay in my opinion.

Sorry I've totally forgotten to take pictures during both occasions as I was busy either feeding Ethan, eating or taking my turn to bring/ chasing him around ;p Anyway, I hope you had a wonderful Mother's Day :)

On Mommies' Day

What did we do? We had an advance Mother's Day celebration with MIL at Krishnan Curry House on Saturday together with FIL, Uncle Wong + Aunt Roslyn, Dom and Emerson.

And on Mother's Day itself, we had potluck dinner at my little crib with me mom, dad, brothers, SILs and of coz Joshua, Allie and Moira :)

And what's a celebration without a cake eh...here are the lovely cuppies made by Deana :)

Everybody loves the decor and of coz the little ones love them!!

Mothers Are the Place Where Love

Mothers are the place where love

Emerges from the earth,

And happiness rings out like bells

In honor of our birth.

Mothers are the sun that lights

For life our inner sky,

So we may know that we are loved

And need not question why.

Mothers are the moon that shines

Upon our black despair,

So even when we weep, we know

That someone's always there.

Whatever fear, or stress, or pain

Might them to anger move,

We know that underneath the storm

We have, always, their love.
