Happy Belated Mothers' Day

We finally celebrated mothers' day last night by having a family dinner at the newly opened Nakhon's kitchen at Yishun. Before that, mom had her first facial experience at Suhava Beauty! My idea as a gift for her. $120 bucks for 1 hour 15 mins inclusive of an anti aging facial and an eye massage. The products used are from the brand Babor. I think French? You can easily Google that online. I decided to give mom a facial because I know she wouldn't spend that kind of money even though she can afford it. For her to always hear of others' facial experience, I guess deep down she's a little curious about it. So, we decided to satisfy this need ! Time to pamper the super woman who brought up 6 children during those hard times. Not that she did that single handedly. My dad was around. But of course, mom's still went through a lot given that she wasn't educated, there wasn't support from her family as we are all females; they favored males. To be able to raise as up into who we are today, she deserves credit. Thus, a pampering session is much needed. So I sat through the facial with her because I was her translator. The facial lady was Indian and speaks no mandarin. Even before the session started, I told the lady that it was mom's first time. So be more gentle. So this gentle reminder worked and my mom was so relaxed throughout. She even snored for a while. Haha. When I asked her why didn't she go into deep sleep, she told me that she dun want the facial lady to feel disturbed by her snoring sounds. That's really considerate of her even though we were the only ones in the shop. There was also a really cute moment when I saw mom touching her face slightly after the soft mask was slowly peeled from her face. I was sitting behind her and she was oblivious to my presence. It was like she was anticipating a positive change in her face. Is my face smoother now? That simple act communicates that message. I am fortunate to be able to witness that and it actually made me smile. I guess the money's really well spent even though it isn't cheap. Mom says she would go again if she strikes 4D. Haha. No need wait so long la, next time I get bonus then treat u la. These are the simple things in life that brings joy to our lives. Treasure love ones around u, carpe diem.
