Something to confess

Few days ago, my friend sent me a catalogue, with flowers/cookies/cakes/vouchers for sale. It turns out that it's a project by one of her frenz. This then triggered my thought of mother's day approaching in abt 3 wks time. Seriously, I haven't reali celebrated mother's day with my mum before, and I thought it to be unfilial. Yes, I reali am..Haiz, I can give reasons like being a pauper that I am when i'm still in sch the previous years, I don't have the luxury of spending lavishly, but I definitely have no reason to shun giving my mother a surprise this mother's day, since I'm earning my own keep already. Browsing thru the catalogue, I thought of buying my mum a cake, but on second thoughts, it's rather cliche and so "the norm" nowadays, to give a cake for every occasion, be it a birthday, anniversary, valentine's day, christmas and whatever else you can name.

My second gift idea is to buy some body and hand care products from The Body Shop to pamper my mum, as she's been taking care of her skin all along by slapping on lotions and such every night. That would seem like a great idea, since she hasn't tried Body Shop stuffs b4 and the ingredients come from natural sources that leaves a sweet smelling aftereffect. This thought was soon abandoned, as it wasn't sincere enough. My third idea, is to bake a cake for her, and being the ambitious me, this thought soon ballooned into cooking a full meal for her!! Well well, this then got me to sourcing for online recipes and I managed to find an extensive list of different foods from www.kraftfoods.com. Yes, if you bother to click on that link, you'll be spoiled for choices. My final decision is to cook something like the below:


Yah, u can say that I must be crazy. Being the not so culinary-inclined me, producing the above would require lots of practice and patience to deliver those tantalizing dishes. By the way, pls allow me to introduce, going from left to right, the dishes are: Grilled Fish and Peppers, Barbecued Orange Pork Ribs, Hash Brown Pie (though it looks more like a main dish to me), and Lemon Cheesecake. After sourcing out those recipes, I've thought, "Why not just bring her to a restaurant and get it over and done with?". But like I've just mentioned, it isn't sincere. Though there's still time for me to think of what to do, I've been thinking abt this for the past 2 days, and I strongly held on to the belief that if I were to cook a complete meal for my mum, she'll be so touched, and even more so if the meal tastes good. Haiz, can someone enlighten me pls?
