Mother's Day [12 August 2007]

On Saturday the 11th of August 2007, I went to the THE MALL department store to get something for my mom. I wanted to buy something as a present for her on mother's day. I walked around the department store, but I still couldn't find something that I was looking for. So I decided to look in the PLAZA ZONE instead. After wandering around for sometimes, there is something that caught my attention. It was the jasmine tree. Thai people use the jasmine flower as a symbol of the mother's day. I stopped by the flower shop and looked at the tree. I decided to buy it. I bought the jasmine tree and the flowerpot at the price of 300 baht. It was more expensive than I thought it was going to be. After getting the plant, I feel that the plant alone was not enought, so I went into the SUPERMARKET and bought one pack of the bird's nest beverage. I went back to the department zone to get the mother's day card for her too. By three o'clock in the afternoon, everything was ready.

At midnight, I went to my parent's room with the presents and the card in my hand. My mom was very surprised. She was very gald. I hugged her and said happy mother's day to her. The moment was filled with happiness. Then I said good night and went back to my room.

On Sunday morning, my family went to church as usual. After all the services was done, my family went out to have lunch together as a celebration of the mother's day. We went to the restuarant 'Ruan Ros'. It's a Thai restuarant. The food was good as usual, but because of the joyful atmosphere, the food tasted better than it used to be. Then we came back home and get ready to go to Prachinburi. We are going there to greet my grandmother, my dad's mother. She got the Mother of the province award this year, so we are going there to join the celebration with the rest of my dad's brothers and sisters. There are ten of them including my dad. The celebration party was very fun. Everyone in the family is back to see each other again. We helped each other prepare the dinner. When the dinner was ready, we eat dinner together. The party was great. I am sure that everyone had enjoyed it. Then when the party was over, most of the cousins decided to stay over at my grandmother's house that night. At first my family was going to do that too, but because I have an eight o'clock class on Monday morning, we didn't spend the night there. It took us about one and a half of an hour on the way back to Bangkok, our home.

We reached our destination at two o'clock in the morning on Monday. I quickly took a shower and then sleep. I feel asleep as soon as my head reached my pillow. I enjoy the day very much. I hope everyone does too.

Happy Mother's Day.
