MAY - month of mothers and birthdays 2011

From daughter

From my twins

It was mother's day yesterday, I had a complete full weekend, all because my hiking trip to Bukit AhPek and Saga turned out to be much longer than it should. It was Saturday when me and hubby and a group of friends decided to climb AhPek and Saga Hill in Cheras (both are next to each other). We took the wrong trail to the waterfall which ended up 3 hrs more.So altogether, we were on foot for more than 7 hrs, well, for professional hikers, it's probably nothing but for weekend hikers like me, it was definitely exhausting.

I came back only to realise there were 3 cakes to decorate for Sunday, and so I was spending all night til 5 am Sunday morning baking and decorating cakes. And guess what, it got even better, my daughter's sports day Sunday (great!!). I woke her up, told her I was super duper sorry I couldn't attend her sport's day I was dead tired. She was a little angel that day to let me be excused, said yayah (father) would be there, it should be ok. After shower at about 8.30am I planned to take a long deep sleep hoping to recover from sleepless night and whole-body muscle ache. But I couldn't, after 1/2 hr toss and turn, I thought 'eff it! I got to be there for her, how could I sleep and not see her run'.

I was there at 9.30am, missed her first 100m run (which she won 1st place, yahoo!!), got to see her 4x100 but her team got 3rd place (denial or not I blame the baton haha, seriously, the girl made my daughter turned back to grab the baton, oh well). I took part in parents vs teachers, ran in the freaking hot sun at 1pm in the afternoon. 3rd place and a piece of face towel for the prize, can't complain much, it was actually fun.

We came back, freshened up and continued to The Gardens for mother's day retreat, after a little meal and some shopping for me from dear hubby (thank you for the prezzie darling :)), the kids insisted they wanted to get me something.

We browsed through at a frivolous jewellery shop, a place where I know they can get something within the limit of their pocket money (hahaha). I told them not to get me anything, just be nice to mummy for the day, that would be my gift, but they insisted. I know how much my 7 yr olds have in their pockets, when they decided to buy, I looked for something cheapest. I treasure the look in their faces when they proudly paid rm2.50 each for the rings, and sister paid rm20 for the earings. I immediately put the rings and earings on when we stopped by at Baskin Robbins, they were speechless, proud and happy. I have to admit, I'm the most blessed mother in the world. I hope we will keep this closeness until the end of our days. I pray the best things for them in their lives. And I hope they will remember me through the best times we have when they are with me.

HAPPY MOTHER'S DAY TO ALL MY BLOG VISITORS

*Finally after 48hours knackered, I knockout with the kids at 10pm Sunday night, bliss!
