Happy Mother's Day with BRAND'S Bird's Nest

Time flies and it's already the end of April....... Come May and it will be Mother's Day once again for us to show our appreciation to our mother for all the love and sacrifice that they showered on us.

Sometimes when I hear friends or acquaintances complaining about their arguments with their parents, I will remind them to appreciate them while their parents are still alive. Thankfully, my parents are both still alive and healthy but I certainly start to appreciate them and more specifically my mother when I got married and had a house of my own. No longer are the days that I can come home from work and do nothing to help out in household chores and I really miss home-cooked food (especially my mum's cooking). I had my fair share of rebellion against my mum when I was young because she is extremely extremely strict with us, specifically me (since I am the eldest and she expects me to lead by good example to my 2 younger sisters). Now I am grateful that she was strict to me as it molded my character in a good way.

  

I have to say I am proud to inherit my interest in handicraft from my mum. Check out the zodiac animals my mum built every Chinese New Year. This Dragon was hand made by my mum and gifted to my sister during her shift to her own place last year.

Every CNY, I also have no lack of festive cookies as they are all HANDMADE by her. Yums!

I have one thing I wanna say to my mum: I LOVE YOU, MUM. Thanks for all that you have done for us and the family.
