MY MUM, MY VALENTINEI don’t quite recall how old I was when I celebrated Valentine’s Day for the first time in my life. Before she served breakfast, she announced; “Happy Valentine’s Day” as she swayed with plates laden with delicacies. I knew that in addition to all the lovey-dovey stuff I had read, Valentine’s Day also meant indulging in delicious food. One who would love me every single day of the year but still take it a notch higher and put extra effort on special days such as Valentine’s Day. My mother has been my Valentine’s Day date for the past 25 years and she has set quite an example.
