Mother's day at Carousel

Hi there! How did you celebrate your mother's day? Sorry, I know this post is long overdue! But schooooooooooooooooooooooooooool sucks. Hehe.

Anyway, I do feel that Mother's day is not really a day to cherish your mother, or be grateful to her, nor is it a day to tell your mother that you love her. Remember that period of Valentine's day where people keep saying that for a couple, everyday should be Valentine's day if you love each other? Well should it not be the same for mother's day? You should cherish your mother everyday, be grateful and not take her for granted everyday and ideally tell your mother that you love her everyday. (Of course being Asians, we don't do that..)

Haha in my opinion, mother's day is a day that the government has set for us to celebrate our mothers. It's also a day to remind children about our dear mothers are there, and that they should be celebrated for everything they've done for us. So it's not really a mother's day, it's more of a remember-your-mother day. Haha can you spot the difference between those two greetings? Anw, that's what mom's day is for me :)

SO. Mother's day has always been a big deal in my family. As soon as us siblings have our own money and could go out, we'd always go searching for the most perfect present. My mom is fussy like that lol. This year though, my mom was adamant that we dont buy her anything. We acquiesced, well mostly anyway.

We got her gorgeous pink carnations plus some other flowers of which I don't know the names of. Sidetrack: I never knew flowers were so expensive! Annnnnd we also brought her for high tea at Carousel! It's a buffet and omgggggg food was gorgeous :) We celebrated on Saturday because Sunday reservations were full. So pictures below are the food! (Haha! While people were circling around food, I was snapping the pictures.)

Hehe I got my mother a photoframe of us siblings too, for her to put at her work so that she can gaze upon our be-yoo-ti-ful faces at work ^^ HAHA. Okay, so that was how I celebrated mother's day. Hope yours went as well as mine did! :)
