Whilst enjoying this afternoon tea, I foresee myself talking to my mother about the potential of me agreeing to her match-making? Hahaha.. Not exactly, but I will probably use the opportunity to share with her about my future plans. I think a relaxed afternoon tea session will be good for mother-daughter bonding. And it’s for FOUR, so my mum, myself and my two sisters can all go together! =)
It’d definitely have to be about her trip to Bangkok with my good friend, Chris! Yes, they went without me *sobs* but it’s because I couldn’t make it. I love it when my Mom hangs out with my friends and from the pics I’ve seen on her Facebook account, they had a rad time! And I can’t wait to hear all about it from her! So yes, it’s definitely got to be about the trip! And I would have to share with her too on how we ended up at Pantry at the Stables
Of the great moms in the family, and of the poetry of an afternoon tea at the stables.
Although I wouldn’t make it in time to spend Mothers’ Day together with my mum personally in Singapore because I’m currently studying in Singapore and even though we skype pretty often, I guess the topics I’d talk to my mum would not run low. I’d have so much to tell her about my trips to countries in the Europe continent, challenges in school in terms of academics, project work and friendships. I’d be back in Singapore at the end of this month, I hope I’d be able to make up for my absence with this fantastic tea set for four, with my mum and also two other good friends – updating them about my life all at once!
While enjoying afternoon tea with my mum, I foresee that I will talk about my daily activities with my mum. Its just normal chit chat but it is very important to my mum as she loves to find out what her children are up to in their busy lives. Nowadays, work and personal activities keep me away from home often and I feel so guilty about not spending enough time with one of the most important person in my life. I intend to make it up to her this year and hopefully, we can enjoy a day of great food and interesting conversations at Pantry at the Stables.
My mom will probably be giving me props for finding such a nice place cause I’m usually contented with KFC or Macs.
We’ll also probably talk about how cool it is that we’re lunching at the stables!
She will also be telling me about how she’s such an awesome mother.
And all the drama that her life entails.
We will be talking about anything under the sun and anything the comes into that ditsy head of mine.
No reason why. *shrugs* I don’t pre-plan my conversation with Mum. She is like my emotional dustbin for me to dump all my thoughts and feelings.
Sigh, the duties of a Mum is tough, that’s why she deserves something good on this special of hers.
We would prolly be talking about our family taking that family trip together at the end of the year… finally! We’ve yet to plan anything and this has been on our minds for a very long time. My mum is always looking to travel with us, her kids, and my dad. To capture happy memories of our family, to experience the world together.
My mum is Taiwanese and her family resides there, so we’ll talk probably also talk about her mum, my late grandmother, and how she used to bring her kids up when they were young. My mum was brought up in a close-knitted, loving family and this is how she strives to bring us up as well, and I’m very grateful for someone like her.
I love my mummy very much and I definitely see myself saying this to her at our afternoon tea for four, if I do have a chance to win this. So… thank you for the opportunity! (:
I would forsee that we would be talking business over a cuppa tea! (Nah, just kidding!).
I know my mom and she loves afternoon tea like how I love supper. I’d forsee us chatting over tea on all our past, our present and our future. Most likely, she would be telling me how she wants to take care of my kids for me in the future and how much time has flown through.
The thing she loves most to discuss with me would be her secrets of maintaining a perfect family and how she holds my pap’s heart and walks through this journey together. She would be telling us how much she loves us and would pull out the past incidents to laugh at and to discuss about.
For me, I’d be telling her all my genuine feelings toward her (although it has been shown daily). We’d also be discussing about Pantry at the Stables, and how much she grades the food. My mother is a critic when it comes to food, she loves to discuss with us on her recipes and we’d always call her a part-time chef.
Well, I guess anything under the sun would be there for us to chat about as our family opens up to each and everyone, with no secrets hidden to hurt. Of course, while spending quality time with her, phones aside! Hehs.
I foresee myself talking to her about my career since I’ve been really stressed up over work and also about my younger sister’s future.My sister is 11 years younger than me and I will have to work with my parents to guide her in the right direction in all aspects of her life.
I’ll talk about everything and anything. From the first time I walked into a wall when I was 3 to the most recent walking in to the wall (again) just last week, we’ll just have a good laugh and catch up with each other since we don’t get to talk much because of the busy-ness of school. No planning or fore-seeing needed, I guess. Everything just flows out, just like that. ^^
On a lazy sunny day, sipping afternoon tea and savouring delectable pastries while catching up with one of your loveliest friends in a pretty cafe…paints a perfect picture doesn’t it? Nope I did not make a typo, my mum is indeed one of my best friends and that is why I KNOW that she will already love such a setting. We are so like each other that it is scary, be it our outlook on life, our passion for dance or our love for travelling… hey that is probably what we will be talking about on such an occasion…
Taking that long-awaited trip to Taiwan (one of her must-go places) this year where we may well be sipping tea together again, this time among the hills, with freshly picked and brewed tea leaves. Or perhaps we will be idly thinking about going to Paris next year, where we can sit in little cafes and do afternoon teas…all day! Oh what a thought (:
Won’t having such a delightful conversation over afternoon tea at Pantry at the Stables on Mother’s Day make it extra special and pleasurable?
Over Mother’s favourie raisin scones and English Breakfast tea, we’d most probably approach the topic about… BOYS! You are never too old for some Girls’ talk!
Mum has always been recounting the days and the number of suitors she had had before settling down with Dad. I need more advice in this department, as I am pretty down on my luck searching for my potential Mr. Right! We can also surf the web on my tablet to check out the latest IT totes over a second cup of tea, hot chocolate for me, and Mum would hint to me which are her favourites.
Mum has been so busy fussing over my primary school sister (we are 14 years apart!) for the longest time ever so it will be a great opportunity for some serious mother-eldest daughter bonding. It helps that Pantry at the Stables is located at such an idyllic place.
P.S. Cross our fingers and pray that the weather is great as we prefer our afternoon hi tea alfresco.
I guess this would be how it would go.
My mother and I will probably be talking about my unhealthy obsession with novelty pencils. You know what I’m talking about. Some of them are scented, some of them have multiple colours and yet others are just tiny; the vertically-challenged yet perfectly functional mini-writing instruments that will steal your heart with but a glimpse of their miniature graphite cores.
She’ll probably be telling me not to stir the tea with my giant Disney pencil that I bought from Tokyo Disneyland. You know, the one that’s emblazoned with Mickey Mouse’s mousy face.
Fun fact: Giant pencils require giant sharpeners to sharpen them.
She’ll tell me that grown men shouldn’t be collecting pencils, and ask when am I going to get a real job, and I will tell her that I’m not collecting pencils, that’s pathetic, no I’m collecting novelty pencils, and that being a social media specialist is a real job. She’ll compare me to my cousin who’s a banker, and I will quietly sip my tea. Things will get awkward and uncomfortably quiet as we both stare at our food. She’ll make some excuse to leave, and I’ll be left at the table, just sipping tea and sharpening my giant novelty pencil with my giant novelty sharpener.
Happy Mother’s Day.
While having this afternoon tea, I’ll be talking to my dearest mom about absolutely anything and everything.
Catching up about me, about her, about life, about us.
Life and work has been busy. Leaving in house early in the morning and coming back only in the wee hours, I hardly get to see my mom these days.
Nonetheless, I wake up every morning to a hearty breakfast prepped by her, and come home to loving notes of encouragement and sometimes, supper she’s left for me that needs some heating up, but no short of warmth.
This Mother’s Day, I would really love to take her out for a well-deserved treat!
It’ll be a great bonding, and so much more! x
I foresee myself having to convince my mum that this did not cost much (or hopefully, anything) and that she should just enjoy herself on a day that celebrates her. I wouldn’t want to talk too much, but would like to just listen to her. About how her balloon sculpting lessons have gone, on whether the kids in school listen to her enough or if they are just as rebellious as I was then. I want to hear about the life she has lived since turning 50, the hobbies she’s picked up, and the dreams that are still sprouting in her head.
I’m not sure how my mum would take to a high tea session like that, because she’s never gone for one. It is precisely this reason, though, that I wish to be able to take her here. At over 50, she’s continued to pick up new hobbies and crafts, while having to concern herself with family finances and the welfare of 3 kids (we always are, in her eyes), and to be honest, she inspires me a lot in the way she continues to pursue new experiences at her age. I know though, that with her mind always on the family, she wouldn’t even harbour any thought of indulging herself in a pretty afternoon’s break and high tea.
4’s the perfect number for her because she’d be able to take us 3 kids, and on a day where mothers are celebrated, it’s definitely fitting that she should be able to spend quiet time with us, the kids she brought up (and are still bringing up), and away from all the hustle and bustle of the city.
The 3 of us will be like quiet kids again, with ears only for Mum’s anecdotes.. Mum deserves to feel special on this day.
As a young adult, I’ve always been very busy working, any quality time with the family is precious to me. My mum is an extraordinary woman who does her best to take care of the family; she works extremely hard to provide for us. I would like to take her out for tea and enjoy the scenery. We might not talk alot and if we do; it will probably be on very casual issues about life and my goals (an asian progressive thing). Yet, i guess, the mere act of enjoying each other relational presence, a wonderful scenery and over delicious food will be a memory for her and i to keep. Anything to make Mum feel appreciated and that she deserves this.
Whilst enjoying this afternoon tea, i would forsee talking to my mother about nothing, cause she has so much on her mind and worrying over everything, hope for the first time she would slow down and be comfortable doing something wholly different. Just enjoy the moment.
