It've been an fruitful week. Everything's just wonderful.
Once again, ended a week with my loved ones.
I spent the whole morning airing my pillows & bolsters, keeping my clothes, tidying my table and scrubbing the ever-dirty toilet.
Then had a simple lunch with dad before he rush out to find Granny for Mother's day.
Zhijie came over and spent the whole afternoon with me revising work, playing and watching movies on his lappy.
And then devoted whole night to Mum after she came back from church service. I think we spent more than an hour in Subway talking about her past and our future.
I tell you, my Mum is definitely one of a kind. Okay, i know every mum is unique, duh!
What i'm saying is, my mum is not those typical aunties you see.
My mum came to Singapore with a man all alone. She grew independent on a foreign soil. Clueless about everything in Singapore, she could only rely on my dad for EVERYTHING.
Even after my bro was born, she knew little of English and Mandarin. She struggled, she fight on. And years later, she had me.
But at the 3rd month, the doctor said that i was a child who will suffer from down-syndrome.(Obviously the doctor hadn't obtain a real license or something.)
Of course, she was devastated and had no idea what to do next.
My Granny, Dad, Aunt chided her for everything.
Imagine, a woman like her, all alone on a foreign country, being pointed fingers at. How did she felt?
She did not, even for a millisecond thought of aborting me. All she had in mind was that she must give birth to me no matter what and bring me to the world. She been through hell for the 9 months.
Constant scoldings and blaming, she swallowed it down. She knew what she did was right.
And there, when she was going in labour, my dad was not even by her side.
She went to the hospital ALL BY HERSELF.
Right after i was born, she felt ill and was not allowed to go anywhere near me.
Imagine having a baby in your womb for 9months, you were not allowed to even hold it for a second after its born. This is what my mum felt.
This strong woman, was my mum.
Honestly, people of her age cannot really rely on friends for help as they also have family of their own. The only one she can turn to is me and my bro.
Her family? Well, thousands of miles away.
Why did she still want to all through these hardship?
One simple reason: For her children.
Mum hope that bro would become a better man after NS.
Mum hope that I would be able to achieve remarkable results and get into Uni.
All her life, all her hopes..Its on pinned on us.
So i dont see why i shouldn't fulfill her wish that is achievable and easy as compared to her hardship when she had me.
She might not be the person who taught me English in school, but she was the one who taught me ABC's.
She might not be the person who taught me Math in school, but she was the one who taught me 123.
She might not be the person who would teach me everything in the world, but she was the one who bought me to the world, and made everything possible.
I did not tell her i love her nor did i wish her happy mother's day. The more i didnt buy anything for her.
But i guess she can tell that genuinely i listened to her every complains and sorrows she had and enjoyed guggling Listerine as we strolled home even slower than snail to linger a little more longer of our i-appreciate-you-for-all-you-did talks.
I dont love my mum.
To say i love her is an understatement. No words can ever express how much she mean to me.
Stupid old Hag, i hoped you enjoyed your subway dinner and talks tonight.
Bye everyone.
