mom's bday

mom's bday was on the 13th of oct.. i shall not reveal her age for fear of being slaughtered later on.. hahahaha.. as long as she's young at heart..

so.... my sis n i bincang-ed bout her bday few weeks b4.. my sis suggested we make mee swah.. (dunno how to spell.. as long as u get the idea..) n i suggested buying some facial care product since she doesnt really spend money on herself.. since i was on holiday, i was to wake up early in the morn to go buy the stuff to cook from the market with AKF.. tat was quite a challenge coz i hav been sleeping really late n waking up really late too, but this was for my mom, so i managed to wake up! *pats self on the back couple of times* sharp 8am, i was at AKF's doorstep.. i think she was surprised i was on time, n off we went to the market. i was half asleep walking or zombie-ing around the market.. juz following AKF.. she helped me in buying the stuff n gav me pointers on how to prepare the soup n all.. fyi, the soup is not some chicken cube ajinomoto okay.. it was made from boiling chicken bones, skimming the impurities for around 1 hour.. n tat was only the chicken stock!
