I really hope that my
mother will like what I
have planned for her
on mothers’ day. She’s
really a great mother
to me.
 Mothers’ day is
coming. I wonder
what the children
have planned for
me… I hope it’s
something sweet.
Let’s take her
to the Bird
No! I prefer
Park.
Sentosa.

Tsk, tsk

 Why bother? Why
make such a big fuss
out of mothers’ day?
Just buy her a cake.
What?! Just a
cake? No way!
Oh, well. We
will think of
something.
 Now, I need to
complete my
homework. This is
very difficult. I
should ask for some
help from 5D pupils.

What are you play a tune for

to it, ok?
 “Mama” by il Divo
Mama, thank you for who I am
Thank you for all the things I'm not
Forgive me for the words unsaid
For the times I forgot
Mama remember all my life
You showed me love, you sacrificed
Think of those young and early days
How I've changed along the way
[ along the way ]
And I know you believed
And I know you had dreams
And I'm sorry it took all this time to see
That I am where I am because of your
truth
And I miss you, yeah I miss you

Mama forgive the times you cried
Forgive me for not making right
All of the storms I may have caused
And I've been wrong, Dry your eyes [ dry
your eyes ]
And I know you believed
And I know you had dreams
And I'm sorry it took all this time to see
That I am where I am because of your
truth
And I miss you, yeah I miss you
Mama I hope this makes you smile
I hope you're happy with my life
At peace with every choice I made
How I've changed along the way [ along the
way ]
And I know you believed in all of my dreams
And I owe it all to you, Mama
 Nice song. However,
check out this video
which my friend
emailed to me. I think
it will be great to
show mother.
That was a really
emotional video.
However, how do
we relate the
video to us? I
will need to ask
for help again.

 I am telling you this for the
last time… My suggestion for
the mothers’ day celebration
is better than yours.

But… I don’t
think so.
 Stop fighting. I think the
best mothers’ day present
for your mother would be
behaving well and telling her
how much you appreciate all
that she has done for you. Be
it the smallest thing such like
cleaning your grazed knee or
even wiping your tears.
 Dad made a
good point.
Yes. I’m going to
write mom a
letter telling her
how much I
appreciate her
cooking and that
she’s the bestest
mother in the
whole wide world.
On mothers’ day
after presenting
the gift…
 Thank you for
whipping up a hearty
dinner, children. This
will be a memorable
mothers’ day for me.
