The Little Boy.... in Her Eyes!

I guess i'm getting a hangover from watching the World Cup Final! I think I'm getting too old for all this overnight stuff! Cannot 'thong' like before. Like during last chalet, i just couldn't tahan thru both nite. And during the Final, I slept thru from 2nd half till before the start of penalty shoot-out and went home at 5.30am and slept till 2pm. Oh gosh! Den this morning, suppose to wake up at 8am but i could only drag myself out of bed at 9.30am. Jia lat lah! Didn't do much in the morning but just stare at the PC. After which at about 1pm, decided to go play basketball. I need to burn the spare tyre! Haha! So was changing and wearing my contacts. Den realise that my vision was very blur! Try dripping but didn't get clearer. Could be the lens. So i tried to remove them. To my horror, i couldnt' remove it. I tried many times but it doesn't come out. It was stucked to my eye ball! ARGGGGGHHHHHHHH! I was panicking but i told myself to calm down. So with my last attempt, I had to 'dig' out the lens. Thank God! It came out! To my shock, the lens had warped at the circrumference. It was the same for the other lens. Thankfully i didn't carry on wearing it or else any longer, i may need to be sent to ICU. So change to my last new pair of lens. Haiz! Have to spend money to buy new sets. Play basketball for 1 1/2 hour den went home, washed up and started to play Winning Elven on my laptop. So difficult to play. My player totally cannot run den keep losing ball control. Played 2 matches, lose both matches. Gave up!

Ok back to my main topic. The Little Boy in Her Eyes! Well if you are smart enough, yes the small boy is referring to me. Ok! Stop teasing me! The word 'small' is not in reference to my size. And Her is referring.... to.... My MUM! I decided to write this as a tribute to my mum and also all the mums in the world!

"Your room is like a pig sty!" "Why can't you just put your laundry in the basket?" "No! You can't stay over!" "Can you eat your vegetables!" "Nag! Nag!Nag!Nag!" Does that sound familiar? Or you have worst senarios! Haha! Whatever it is, this is definitely an undisputable character found in most Mum. Am i contradicting myself? 'Tribute' and the first thing i talk about Mum is their invincible Gift. Haha! Nope! It's just that I feel that's one thing that most of us will identify with. I never love and enjoyed when my mum spend so much time nagging at me. Even till this day! She still nags at me on my room! Yes! No doubt it's a pig sty but that's me! I know it's a lousy excuse. I do truly need to learn to be tidy (ever more so if i want to get married!) And the nagging really kinda spoil the day! But I will always remind myself of one thing - she did it out of concern! Really! If you think about it, who on earth will be so busy body and go around minding every business of yours! She don't get anything out of it (in fact most of the time, she gets our curses and 'dirty' stare) It is purely out of a motherly love but just that no mum is perfect. Their expression of love may at times be 'tainted' with frustration, impatience, hopelessness and other things. As I remember this, everyttime my mum nags at me (i'm 25 ok), the feeling is still sucky, but I will always look at the positive side of her comment!

I must really thank God for choosing her to be my mum. Yes, no doubt she is never the perfect mum, she is not very affectionate, she is naggy, she is back-dated, she is incoherent at times, she buys Toto and 4D, she is easily deceived but her faith in God is the thing that kept the family going. She may not be very strong in God's word but she just simply know how to hang onto God. She took up the responsibilty to bring back the bread when my father decided to 'retire'. She took care of the family needs and chores one handedly. She make sure her children gets the best she could give and yet she herself, she is thrifty and would never spend what she don't really need. And i have to say my dad doesn't treat my mum that well and honestly, if it was some other woman, they would have left him. But she hold on because for her children sake! When i was young, I wondered why she just hold on! It's because of God! She knows that God is in control, even when times are not smooth. She pointed to God and her children had known God through her. I'm not sure about your mum! She may be the perfect mum or she may be one whom you have a hard time with! Whatever it is, in them is that motherly love! It will never change. Do take time to know and appreciate them. When was the last time you held her hands? Go hold her hands and feel the 'tracks' of hardships and the 'weathering' of ages. When was the last time you gave her a peck on her cheek? Give a goodnite kiss and see how much it surprises her. Treasure those who are around you! For in this world, nothing will last! Only Love will!
