Leekuan's ramblings
Actually,
at first...
i wanted to post this in my own blog,
but then..
i thought "well, it's all right, i have already posted something more personal there"
There's no need for another one.
Everyone.
next week,
something major's coming up.
yeah...Mother''s Day.
For the first time, i actually look forward to it.
i wanted to tell her.
"Happy Mother's Day"
the earliest in the morning.
After all, there's no one else who will wish my mother "happy mother's day".
except me.
her only child.
I remembered.
I was so spoilt when i was young.
I insisted on eating corn - in a cup.
the keyword: in a cup.
when my mother gave me the original corn, without the cup.
i selfishly told her.
'It's not in a cup"
frowning wordlessly, she went to the kitchen.
she pulled out the corn bit by bit and put them in a cup.
just for me.
and then she returned, gave the cup to me, and muttered "Here's your corn-in a cup"
Smiling brightly, i took it and ate it like there's no tomorrow.
It was tasteless.
It's not delicious at all.
But for me,
it was probably the best thing that i have ever tasted in my life.
Yes guys,
someone as fussy as me,
someone like me who despise onions, garlic and ginger more than anything.
The other day,
i read a newspaper article.
about this child who was asked to tell the class what's his mum's occupation.
he said with his head down "My mother's only a housewife"
I nearly cried.
I can relate myself to that situation very well.
My mother's only a housewife.
The exact words i have said.
very long time ago.
But now,
i am older.
i am much more wiser.
i know.
she's not only a housewife
she's more than that.
she's my mum.
she's my super mum who can do everything i can't.
she can cook very well, i can't
she can drive really well, i can't-in fact- i am prone to accidents.
she takes care of the whole family
even when she's sick.
i can't.
when i am sick,
i am as dead as a dead fish.
ask my roommate and housemates,
they know what i am like when i am sick.
that's why.
this blog post is a tribute to you.
thank you for everything you do.
the reason i have come this far is because you threw my bag out from the house many years ago when i said " MUMMY I HATE STUDYING!!!"
I remembered you said
" DO YOU WANT TO BECOME LIKE ME??? I AM ONLY A HOUSEWIFE!"
No mum.
you're not.
you're not a mere housewife.
you're my supermum remember?
Therefore,
Happy Mother's Day.
let's celebrate this day together everyone.
5:44 AM
