a different kind of mother's day

Because I am going to work on Sunday, hubby and I decided to spend Mother's Day in advance. I didn't really want to make a big fuss out of it but he insisted so who am I to refuse the offer, right? Hehehe..

We had a really late lunch at Martabak, an Indonesian restaurant at The Block. We ordered the best that they have (of course!) We had Rendang Sapi, Nasi Goreng, Kari Ayam and some iced tea. I would say that it was a pleasant surprise I actually liked the taste of Indonesian food. We had all the dishes served spicy yet it didn't burn our tongues. Their rice was filling and really superbly done. The serving was enough for 2 and their staff were cordial. I don't normally go back to a restaurant I am not familiar with but after that lunch date at Martabak, I guess trying it out again won't hurt at all.



After lunch, we shopped a little for me and got a toy for the little girl (we left her with my in laws so hubby and I can have the day to ourselves). We chose a Dora bubble squirter for her, plus a year's supply of bubble foam so she can squirt all she wants :). We also grabbed a few books at Fully Booked and some magazines, too. Afterwhich, hubby gave me the best birthday gift in the world -- going bald! You see, he has been sporting a semi-long hair that he can't manage at all so for months now, I have been bugging him to go to the barber shop and have his hair chopped off. It's only now that he gave in and let me get my wish. Thanks, dad! You just don't know how gorgeous you are again.



It was a fun day. No frills whatsoever. Just a sweet date with the most important man in my life.
