The start of the new year - 2008 with mum birthday celebration

I find it very amused that we always celebrate my mum birthday based on the chinese lunar calendar. And because of that, i always cant keep track when is her actual birth date on the calendar. Only know that it falls in the month of Jan. Whatever, the case, i thanks GOD for such a wonderful mother and it is always a blessing that we can start the new year with such a warm family gathering to celebrate mum birthday. :)

It's mum 71st birthday this year and i proposed having jap food. Cos ' it's our family favourite food. I picked the place - Kyoto Sabo Aiji Tei. It is the other dinning concert of the very famous Aijisen. It was a right choice cos we are spoilt for choice with the many variety of appetitizer and dessert available. And it is really economical too. We can order many different appetitizer to share, that is the benefit of dinning as a family. Anyway, i really think the kama is value for money. For those who love fish (i only start to appreciate fish since i started my special diet), There is a promotion currently, for every set menu, you get the kama for half prize. And usually, i thought such servings would be short change. But to my surprise, the kama is really big and meaty. Really thumbs up.

And of course, i order a birthday durian cake for her. It's our family favourite fruit. I chanced upon this from the variety show at channel 8. And they recommended this durian place - 717 trading. I am not a durian fan but the cake really looks good and taste heavenly. I heard from my mum that the whole family love the durian cake very much.

Last but not least, i thank mum for her patience and gentleness in raising me up and shower me with love. She is really an awesome mother. Alto, there are times when i give her nonsense, she will always be that same caring and understanding mum to me. Therefore, i want to wish her Good Health, Happiness and Joy in life and May she continue to seek GOD and stay Forever Young :)
