Mummy's 64th Birthday

We just celebrated my ever-green mum's birthday in Anjappar's, Bangsar. She was too sick and tired to have chinese and western food, she really wanted to opt out for indian food. The food was not to our expectation. Maybe i was having too high hopes on this place that's why i got disappointed.

Just the other day, i just realized what a gem of a person she is. Its a normal story for everybody but for a mum who has a daughter who seem to be confused about marriage is quite big. I mean any mum in their right mum would want their princesses to be married off to a prince charming of course hence my mum is no different. Being tall for an asian plus being an indian female doesnt help coz u are being scrutinized by your community on what the heck is wrong with girl.....but as the saying goes, i dont live for ppl so ppl its my life when i settle down. What struck a code with me is she is a very open minded lady and she would only go for a certain decision if it pleases me and not to please anybody else. She kept my happiness as an importance.

She was telling me about Walter's kids greeting her and she congratulating them coz they are going to be married soon. And then Jane came over. Mummy told me her face was as black as ever coz Slyvia isnt hitched yet. There is a saying that goes, the more impatient you are, the more your patience will be tested. Anyway, from introducing a guy to Slyvia, i concluded she and the mum is quite choosy. That sort of confused me as who is getting married here, helloooooooo !!!!!!

Anyway coming back to the story, i am back tracking alot here.

Jane looked at mummy with teary eyes and asked when is it going to be our turn. For us dont seem to be coming. And mummy told her we jus have to have faith and alot of patience. There will be somebody for them.

I was quite impressed with her actually. Knowing majority indian mothers would have caused a scene coz their daughters aint married yet. But not mine. I am so proud of you, Mummy and i love you alot.

There was another time when her sentence struck a code with me. It was like lightning. Again it might sound like a normal sentence to everybody.Once i was going through a rough time during a relationship, i was very confused with the things happening around me. She said, God created you and i am very sure he created a life partner for you. What amazed me was the 100% confidence she had when she said that sentence. The best best part i didnt tell her what was bothering me. She jus saw my face and in an instant she knew. Or my facial expressions again played me out. Seriously i cant hide my emotions.

Truly mothers are amazing. You think they dont know you, trust me when i say you are wrong.

They know every inch of you.

Happy Thoughts

Christina Joanne

We just celebrated Christina's birthday last friday. Man, this can only mean one thing, i am getting old booo hooo hooo

Who the heck cares as long as i know i am enjoying life every minute. Let's not get deviated here, this blog isnt abt me here.

Anyway, coming back to the matter at hand, my li'l miss christina joanne will be leaving to Brisbane this July.

Looks like there's some mixed feelings going on here. I am proud that she will be going to further her studies. But at the same time, at any functions there will be one person less standing among us. Christina and Matthew are like only cousins Jason and i ever mix with. The same goes to Christina and Matthew. So when there is any functions, the ppl we gossip around is just the 4 of us.

Well, looks like Christina has finally grown up and decided to spread her wings and widen up her horizons.

Time really flew, from the time, Christina at the age of 4 used to rush to put her slippers on when mummy used to come back from work. And dash off to our house. At that time, Mama's house and ur house was just a few doorsteps away. Daddy loved her and used to irritate her like crazy, my goddd :) Now she is a big girl.

Part of me dont wanna her to go but this is the best. I know things wont be the same anymore coz I am sure anybody would agree that its better to have an opportunity elsewhere rather than be here.

Here's a little something for you, Christina.:

1. You have learnt to be a very strong person

2. At a young age, you gained so much of maturity

3. Whereever you go, i know there will be good things waiting for you

4. Be proud of who you are

5. Been a good and helpful sister to Matthew. Nobody could have done it better than you

6. You are Kochu's best fren and support in so many ways

7. Plz screw the chinkos you have to put up with in your apartment. Think abt youself. Its survival of fittest out there. So its good being abit selfish at times especially when its chinkos involved or whoever.

I wish you all the best, Kattae. Take good care of urself and you know you have a family who loves and cares for you very much here. I love you very much :o)

The Nature Of Love & The Scorpion Sting

The Nature of Love and the Scorpion Sting

There was this man who saw a scorpion floundering around in the water. He decided to save it by stretching out his finger, but the scorpion stung him.

The man still tried to get the scorpion out of the water, but the scorpion stung him again.

A man nearby told him to stop saving the scorpion that kept stinging him.

But the first man said: "It is the nature of the scorpion to sting. It is my nature to love. Why should I give up my nature to love just because it is the nature of the scorpion to sting?"

Don't give up loving. Don't give up your goodness. Even if people around you sting.
