Ainan's mother's day present for Syahidah.

Many children buy something for their mother on Mother's Day. Ainan didn't do that: he made something instead.

From primary, aromatic chemicals, Ainan put together a perfume for his mother's birthday, putting it in a labelled bottle for her.

Syahidah could not have been more surprised had he given her a trip to the moon. A mother may expect perfume on Mother's Day but no mother could expect the perfume to have been made by her son. She sniffed it and declared: "It smells beautiful Ainan! It is the best mother's day present in the world!"

Ainan was quietly pleased that his mother liked his chemical work.

So, now we have our very own custom perfume sitting in the house, on my wife's bedside table. She couldn't be happier with her unexpected gift.

Happy Mother's Day, to all my readers. May you enjoy the surprises you receive.
