Mother's Day


Mother's Day is on 10th May 2009


In this post
I would like to share some precious and meaningful 'Mother's Day' moments
I had with my own children.
I have a boy and a girl.

Ever since their tender age
I have always insisted and emphasized on building
strong bonds with my children.

Even, when they gave me the headaches.

My children, always remember 'MOTHER'S DAY'.

I will be home and they will show their appreciation with some of these gestures...

My kids, who are all grown up now.
When they were young, they would give me things they liked.
Chosen by them but paid by dad.
Like this flexible bird that they loved so much.
And since they liked it so much,
I have placed it on their book shelf to encourage them to read.
I guess... it resembles me watching over them. 

My darling daughter gave me this collage she made at a young age.
This is one of the best gift that I most treasured.
She gathered pictures of what I liked and photos of some captivating moments of she and I.
Wrote this lovely message and pasted it in the centre with the wonderful photos around it.
Laminated the whole piece and it has been a few years now but it's still as new.

This was what she wrote...

Then as they got older, they got me what I liked.
My dear son, being the elder,  knows I love jewelleries, would hunt everywhere
to find a nice piece to match their budget.
These wonderful kids,
actually saved their school pocket money to get me this.

It didn't matter even if they got me this garden tools bag.
IT'S THE THOUGHT THAT COUNTS.
LOVE MY KIDS.

Maybe when I am older and can't afford my own,
they can impress me with...

This would be a nice surprise!

So whatever it is...give your mom a break and pamper her for the day.
'MOTHER'S DAY'
remember is on 10th May 2009 : Sunday.

Little Tots are not exempted.
 This is what you can do...

Have a wonderful 'HAPPY MOTHER'S DAY'.

This is an early post to remind and allow more time to show mom that love and appreciation.
So, if you have read this, there is NO excuse to forget.

The $40 million makeover .....



The $40 million makeover along Orchard Road.
Some see it and some don't.
Discussions
and
I was there recently and these were what I saw.
View these pictures and see them for yourself.

The flower totems.


These movable planters that were used as dividers to segregate crowd.

Benches

Litter bins to keep the place clean.


These orchids
that were planted in these totems don't seemed to be growing very well.

The walkway seemed to be wider.

The talked-about glass panels with some interesting etching images.
Below are some pictures of these 35 large glass panels.


Simple multi-functional lamp.

I prefer these 'feelers' looking ones at the
They looked prominent and unusual.


Money well spent?
I thought these shades would be better.
Ideal for our sunny tropical island.


Creating more Al fresco would be nice.


This shades may not be so ideal.
It will cut off most views.


The skyline is important.
A see thru effect.
This will be good to shade from the rain too.


These huge brollies at Clarke Quay were very well done.


Lovely in the evening with the reflection of the lights.


Or those very long travelator, not the underground ones like this.
But one that's above ground and sheltered.
To connect malls, for easy accessibility and assisting older folks.

But all these might probably cost more than $40 million.
It's just some suggestions for future improvements.

Save your pockets

On the topic of 'Earth Hour' 
You can never over emphasize,
 the importance of everyones involvement
in keeping earth this way ….

NOT! allowing it to get to this..

All that energy savings,
can actually SAVE YOUR POCKETS!
This reminded me of these tariffs,
I read on 'Simply Her' magazine dated November 2008.
Read on .. useful information..






SWITCH OFF!
those LIGHTS..

Save the Earth and those pretty flowers.
