happy birthday mommy

had been planning for a dual surprise for my mom today... got her the anteprima bag she has been eyeing since a year ago, and got my aunt to bring it back to singapore with her, with instructions to deliver it to my mom on her birthday.

also ordered a big bouquet to spice up her day. the plan was to have the bouquet arrive in the morning, so that she'll not be expecting anything else.

called her in the morning to ascertain that she'll be at home throughout the day... and when 1pm came and went and still no call from her, i called her and realised that she was out with her friend to run some errands. i had no choice but to tell her that something will be delivered, so i need to know what time she'll be back home.

good thing is that she didn't suspect anything after that, so at least the 2nd surprise worked. my aunt delivered the bag at 5pm, and my mom was thrilled. i guess beyond the gift, it is the heart & the effort that she saw...

happy birthday mommy.
