Happy birthday Ah Ma

It’s ah ma’s birthday today. She ended up cooking chicken soup birthday noodles for herself and the whole family 😅, told her that I should be cooking for her instead. But I guess that’s epitome of my mum, always sacrificing and doing so much for her family and children.

I think the biggest beneficiaries are my kids. They don’t know it yet but when they’re older they will look back to their childhood and it will be surrounded by wonderful memories created by their loving grandparents who take such good care of them.

So glad the sisters could take my mum out for a birthday lunch. I wish I could have gone too but then I think I’m luckier than my sisters because I live just right next door.

I think these are rare and lovely pictures of my sister and my mum. Love the idea of them having afternoon tea and coffee, can imagine them gossiping away haha. We get on each others’ nerves a lot but we also have a good time together.

This is why ah ma was too stuffed to really enjoy her dinner with a side of sashimi hahaha. Happy birthday ah ma, may you stay positive, blessed and healthy always.

Father’s Day

Happy Father’s Day to the best father in the world.

Brought my parents out a The Cray lunch tomorrow celebrate Father’s Day. I think Saitaomei was the happiest because it’s her favourite restaurant in the whole world and she was there with her favourite Gung Gung and Mah Mah. I love it that both grandpa and grandkid love their seafood and enjoy their meals together so much.

Happy girl with her silly sister at the back.

Silly faces.

A photo with their papa from Friday night. We do enjoy our family outings a lot.

On Father’s Day morning the kids went to church with their grandparents so R and I went out for brunch. We were thinking of trying out a new cafe but everywhere was packed with Father’s Day crowds so we somehow ended up at Dome’s. Luckily it was still a nice brunch.

I cooked my father’s favourite chicken rice and tofu and minced pork dish for dinner. Ah ma steamed a fish which is R’s favourite, lucky papas indeed.

R is the only papa I know that will spend hours sewing clothes for the mini Miffys. It started with my mini Miffy keychain that I received from R as a present and love, the kids were very envious so I asked R to get one for each of us. Then he made an outfit for my mini and of course every other miffy needed to have an outfit too. The clothes are all made from the children’s baby clothes so they are all special to us. We are all going to hang them on our bags when we go travelling 😝.

The weekend has charged me up and I’m now ready for the gruelling work week ahead.
