Mother’s Day

Seriously, I’ve never thought of celebrating it for myself. :P Nor did I realize that I’m already a mother of two kids. Before I got married, I celebrated it ONLY with my mom. Now, I need to celebrate it with my MIL as well. This year was an exceptional one when my SIL organized a pot-luck dinner at her house for my MIL. For all you know, we have become so used to just go there and eat but it wasn’t this round. What to prepare???? With two kids around, I have more excuses NOT to cook. We ended-up buying KFC and a cake. Mother’s day was really a big event where the KFC outlet was packed with take-away customers. We waited for 45 minutes and we were already late for the dinner. No choice. We asked them to start first. We only arrived around 8.30pm. Damn hungry!!! Just wallop anything available on the table with my little girl on my lap. She never gave me a good time to enjoy my food. She didn’t want others to carry her. She screamed and cried so loud that everyone tried to stay FAR FAR away from her. So terrible!! J In fact, she was too tired and wanted to sleep.

When it came to cake-cutting, everyone was rushing me to cut the cake together. I still didn’t realize I could be one of them. There were four mothers lined-up in front of the cake including my MIL. J Hehehe….. This is the first time in my life that I get to cut a mother’s day cake.

On Sunday, we thought of buying MIL a dinner. At first, we drove to a famous roasted duck and curry fish head noodles in Tmn Ehsan, full house. Turned to Sri Sinar Le Le Heong, full house again. Abandoned plan. On the way back, we ordered some food through phone at a nearby restaurant.

We had steamed fish, Thai style chicken, Kam heong lala, home-made tauhu for mother’s day at home. Luckily, it tasted so good. It costs less than RM50. Darn cheap and convenient. :P Lessons learned. Never celebrate Mother’s Day on the actual day and never leave home after 7pm on festivities.
