Best Mother's Day

This year, celebrating Mother's Day was different. Yes, I had cards and craft work done by my lovely children, flowers given by my son, church as well as church friend which I treasure but on top of that, my hubby cooked for me.

My hubby has never cooked for the family before as he doesn't enjoy it and would rather stick to washing the dishes to help me out in the house.

However, I was so glad to see him step out of his comfort zone into the kitchen arena not to wash the dishes this time, but to do the actual preparation and cooking! I am humbled and deeply touched. I am sure with such actions, it was great role modelling for our children to learn about appreciation and love.

Here's what my hubby cooked for us

Cranberry Spinach Salad with toasted sesame seeds, almonds, poppy seeds and white wine vinegar, cider vinegar and olive oil dressing

Creamed Salmon Pasta

The children enjoyed the pasta so much that they finished eating at top speed and thanked their daddy for cooking!

I am thankful to God for my husband and my children- for their love and appreciation towards one another. May my family continue to grow in Christlikeness and seek to serve God and do His will!

Dinner & Dance 2013

Always look forward to going out with hubby for dinner as I get to spend some time with him as well as to eat yummy food. Yes, I admit, I love to eat and that's precisely why I have no choice but to balance that with workout.

There's this quote I saw in Instagram..which resonates my thoughts!

Anyway, my hubby's dinner and dance was in Movenpick Heritage Hotel which is in Sentosa last Friday. The theme for this year's dinner was "Superheroes & Villians". This must be the nicest and coolest invitation card I have ever seen (Bias opinion since I love superhero stuff)

We went there early to get a carpark place in the hotel as well as to take a walk nearby.

Interestingly, the hotel entrance is covered in artificial grass. So its just so tempting to sit down on it.

We went to the Merlion where I grabbed a hot dog as I was hungry and took some pictures before sitting the free train to the beach station and back before our dinner.

Here's what some of CT's colleagues came in..

Not many came in costumes as it is not easy to find one, especially when most would not want to spend the money to rent. So that's why me and CT just went in tees, which we didn't even buy! We borrowed from our friends- Daniel and Rachel (our ex cell group leader and wife) who happened to have Superman Tees and Rachel also happened to come to my place on Friday to collect food from me which she ordered! (God really plans everything well!)

The door gifts for the dinner were superhero masks.

Some of them had lights which of course, we chose since we know our children would love them!

I was looking forward to the food and games. This year's MC wasn't really good. CT was made to go on stage to play one game.

Food was so-so. Only a few dishes were nice.

Love the seafood pumpkin soup which had lots of crab meat.

Another interesting dish was the roast chicken with fried lotus root.

Overall, it was a fun night and we not only won prizes for games but also lucky draw! Went back all smiles!
