There and Back Again

The message to mum. If you notice, he also randomly wished me Happy Birthday because my birthday is in a few day's time. The front of the card. He had to add a Diamond Sword to it - thanks to Minecraft. We had a simple celebration for Mother's Day. We did not want to clash with all the other people trying to do it in restaurants. We went to church, and then we went to Parkway Parade to buy my son's swim suit. We also bought some cakes from Chalk Farm, some which I sent to my mother. They were good. Later that night, we ate at my in-law's place as usual - the only difference was that my brother-in-law went to buy some zhi char instead of the usual home-cooked food. Everyday is Mother's Day for us. :D

A couple of days ago, my son surprised my wife. It was my wife's birthday. Now, I did not have the opportunity to go together with him to Popular, so there was no card. Of course, my wife did not mind that a bit, though we joked as a family that we were not even giving a card to my wife. When I picked him up from school the day before, I was shocked. He actually produced a birthday card for his mum. It was made by the school teachers and his classmates! I could see the childish scrawl of his classmates wishing my wife happy birthday! Apparently, this little man had gone to school and managed to convince his teachers to draw a birthday card for mother. Either that, or the school had some time to burn and decided to make use of that time to draw a birthday card.  Regardless, my wife is touched that at least he made the effort to declare his desire to make a birthday card for his mother. So, presenting the birthday card.
