I prepared 5 dishes & a dessert: Bittergourd & Porkrib soup, Mushroom & Broccoli, Tomato Cai Xin TouFu, steam "Xue Yu" fish, Steam Mushroom Black Fungi Chicken with "Hua Tiao" wine (mum taught mi this dish & it is a success, nice!). The dessert is the Mango sago with chin chow. Aimei ~ his sis baked a duran cake...yummy. Is a tired sat but happy when everyone seem to enjoy the meal :)

Mum's 60th Birthday

On fri 27th Mar, Mum celebrated her 60th birthday. I decided to take leave that day to spend time with her. In the morning, we go swimming @ Yishun safra club. Few years back, she have took up swimming to reduce her back pain but i have never go swimming with her before. I am impressed by her professionalism, cos she was wearing a swimming cap to protect her hair and she offer me the sun block lotion =Oo .... I did not prepare all these at all...lol. And, i am more impressed when she managed to swim a very short distance ~ abt 2m and always try to keep close to the side, but is really not bad already..cos i wld never imagine mum can swim!

After which in the afternoon we go shopping @ Jurong Point in Boon Lay. we try the dessert @ "Ji De Chi". The mall get very crowded near evening time and we didn't see anything that we wan to buy. Abt evening time, dad, my bros and anne joined us for dinner @ a seafood restaurant. I surprised mum with a bouquet of red roses (this is the lst time she rece a bouquet of flower :p) and a birthday cake. The dinner is filling and nice too :) She seem very happy with the roses cos she hold on close to her thereafter :D
