Patience...

She's working in Mid Valley office building where her job is only required her to work from 8.30am till 6pm. She will wake up at 6.30am to prepare breakfast for her husband and to hang the wet clothes to dry. After that, she will prepare herself to go to work where she will fetch her husband and son to KL to work, before going back to her office. When she reach home, she'll change her clothes and immediately cook dinner for her family.

There are times where she's very tired, do not feels like cooking for her family, but when she thinks that they'll have to eat outside with those not so healthy food, she'll force herself to cook no matter how tired. When the food are ready, instead of getting praised, she'll get complains from her husband and kids saying her cookings are not tasty nor delicious. She's patient, so she would not say a single word towards their complain.

There are times when the kids are being disrespectful and always complains bout her. Though there are times she's at the wrong, but mostly, she just care for her kids that she nags and scolds so much. There's one daughter that got a bf that she did not approved of. Reason?? She feels that the bf are only using her and only taking advantage of her. Why did she thinks so?? That's because what she sees is that there are times when the daughter are willingly to buy clothes for her bf, buy food for her bf, wash and iron the clothes for her bf and clean the bf's house rather than helping her own mom to do all those things.

There she thinks, "If that guy is such a good guy, he won't let the gf to do so many things. Even there are times I can see that my daughter use more money towards him and his family rather than that guy spent more towards my daughter!" Anyone who heard this would think that she's being biased and didnt look more towards the depths of things and judge things unwisely. But being a mom, she of course only want what's best for her daughter. She wants her daughter to have a loving husband that really cares for her and wouldn't wants her to do too many chores that make her daughter suffer.

There are times where she will not talk back towards the daughter when the daughter scold her for being biased, for being so unfair, for being such a complain freak and for being an unreasonable mom. Instead, she took it all in and keep it deep inside her heart. There are times when she asked both her daughters to help her buy stuff when they're so convinient of buying, but both the daughters will mostly reject and said she's so "mah fan".

But when the daughters ask her to help them buy some certain watches that she could get it for best price, she will do it so willingly without any complains. She will call that dealer and asked for the lowest possible price, will sometimes needs to get scold by the dealer when she asked too many details, and are willing to go to that shop which are so unconvenient for her to get it for her daughters. And when she pass it to her daughters, most of the time they didnt even say thank you, but just took the watch and walked away.

She told the daughters before that she likes to eat "guai ling kou". Sometimes they daughters will buy it for her, but most of the time, she'll buy it herself which is quite rare, because it's not cheap. Her salary is much lower than the daughters but she are able to support them by providing food for them, paying all the bills in the house and sometimes, bought something nice for her kids. The kids didnt really appreciate it, and even told her that the stuff she bought got "no taste". She will only smile and said "Lan si wor!".

Though there are times she's not so great, where she will scold her kids unreasonably, that's because she didn't want the kids to become so lazy and wanted her kids to prevent for making mistakes that she knew will happen.

She above........ is my beloved mom, that me as one of her daughter, didnt really listen to her and instead, being quite a rebellious daughter. After reading what I just typed above, I feel that my mom really care for us, really wants what's best for us, and pray to God everyday that we'll lead a good life. We're sorry mom for being so bad and disrespectful at times but we really love you!

*Author's notes*
What makes me typed all this?? Well I've been wanting to post this for the past few days, it's in my head for the past few days, but i just got no time to post it up. So now that I've posted, I felt relieved. It's just a sudden thing that came to me that my mom really did a lot of things for us but we didnt even appreciate it. Of course after my beloved Uncle Alan's incident, I've learned to appreciate and loved those around me more. I hope whoever that read this, will understand and love ur parents more, as I think what they want is just what's best for us. Let them nag or scold as you wouldn't know what will happen tomorrow.........
