Its the Thought that Counts...

''Mommmyyy, i WANNTTT itttt!!!!!''...

''Milk, milkk, millkk, miillkk, MMIILLKK!!!!!''

''Wahhhhhh!!!! I donttt wanttt to do house choressss!!!!!''

''CAN YOU JUST PURLEASEEE STOP PESTERING ME!!! I AM 18 AND WHAT I DOOO WITH MY FRIENDS HAVE NOTHING TO DO WITH YOU!!!!!''

''Mind your own business, get losstt''

''Mommy dear, come here for a moment purlease? i want to tell you how much i love you. Soo.. love me back with an unlimited credit card??''

Does some of these incidents remind you of how you and me had taken advantage of the love our dear moms hold for us in their hearts?? You are certainly lying if you said you had not broken your mom's heart into pieces before by the words you say or the things you do.

All moms are the same- loving and should i say.. Sensitive?? They take everything we do and words we say SERIOUSLY. (well.. maybe not all.. at least 90%? coz.. look at all those ''mothers'' who flush their children into toilet bowls or dumped them into dustbin)

SO.. What have you gotten for your mother? A bouquet of roses? A card? A dress?? or.. perhaps.. nothing??? Well, to say the truth, all mothers want just one thing. Your LOVE. You could have kissed her on the cheek and tell her how much you love her, and spend the whole day shopping with her, and she will be much happier than if you had bought 99 roses worth rm1000 for her and went out shopping with your bf/gf instead of her.

Then.. What have i got for my mother and also mom?? Well.. i didnt specifically buy anything. For my real mom, all of us went for a luxurious dinner on friday (she got work even on sunday) and i paid some for it. Moreover, i bought a card and spend a few hours writing the card.

Why would i want such longg time? Well.. Due to poverty, my mom learnt only chinese education during her childhood, and so, all of you should know that chinese is as foreign to me as a fish to the desert (i know its a lame comparison.. but.. as long as you get the meaning..)

Besides the numbers, i can barely write more than 5 chinese charaters. Initially, i intended to do the same thing i did few years ago. Write the Card in english first, and then translate one word by one word using an english-chinese dictionary. Those of you who knows chinese should know this will not result in real sentences. The words will all be jumbled up and the the sentence will be incomprehensible.

Then.. my saviour came at last!! My 'singaporean' friend who happened to know chinese signed in online and i am sooooo grateful for her help!!! She typed for me and then i just copied into the card. Of course, this means that she knew the whole embarassing content of the card too. hahaha.. And purlleaaase!! YOU!! YES!! YOU!! SINGAPORE GIRL!! YOU REVEAL THE CONTENTS AND YOU WILL BE....!!!!!!!

Consequently, my mom is on cloud nine!! She is soooo happy!!! She even say she will like frame it so the next time she might want to scold me, she will stop when she sees the card. hahah...

then.. my god-mother. look forward towards the next post.
continue.
