Belated Mothers' Day

On the actual Mothers' Day weekend, I worked very hard to make it pleasant and memorable for the grandmothers. Even though we went to really fantastic restaurants to eat, I was too busy taking care of the kids to enjoy the expensive buffets.

But never fear! I had my very own belated celebration without the kids last Sunday. Yeah!!! My fabulous parents-in-law helped us to take care of the kids for the afternoon and Joshua took me out for the long-awaited Alaskan crab lunch! *slurp*

Since my mum-in-law's church service ended 45 min later than normal, I was starving by the time we could go off for lunch. I guess the humid summer heat didn't help either. A hot and hungry Meow Meow was a grouchy Meow Meow. (See the pic below)

We've finally arrived at the New World Seafood restaurant but even though we were the third customer to arrive, we had to wait for half an hour before the food came.. *stomach growling* Thankfully, the nice air-con, the ice honey lemon drink and Joshua's wonderful company helped me to relax while we waited.

"Ahhhh....."

The salted egg crab was absolutely heavenly!!!
Definitely worth the wait. :)

The fried buns and the chilly crab was only passable
but juicy nonetheless...

A full and satisfied Meow Meow!

Joshua then brought me to get this lovely bouquet
of flowers in my favorite color combination!

There was still more! We went home and I received a dreamy long massage from my hubby under 'spa conditions'. (i.e. aroma therapy, soft romantic music and dim gentle lights.) Joshua even went to get the kids, feed them, bath them and put them to bed with the help of my Mum-in-law while I continued to sleep! Pure luxury.... Hmmm....

This is the best Mothers' Day ever!
