It was Mother's Day Yesterday.

Joan mentioned that she sees her mum everyday so its mother's day everyday and she sees her dad everyday so by seeing both it's parents day every single day.. i somewhat agree to the same thing because i see them every single day as well.. but i realised at dinner was that mother's day or father's day might seems normal for us because we see them everyday but a day like this is to unite family together to share that one joyful occasion of laughters and tears.

when we were having dinner, we saw families of all sorts, those who saved so hard to have that one special meal to treat their mother to dinner to make her smile and happy with tears although the children had to work veyr hard for money but at the end of the day i guess their moral is without their mum's they wouldnt even get a chance...

we had dinner with my auntie and uncle from miri and my grandma was so happy as it is not everyday we have dinner with them and it was funny how they forgot my grandma doesn't take mushrooms and when there was mushrooms, me and my uncle were like quickly playing out a show to remove the mushrooms but my uncle got caught.. my dad was like not pass yet.. eat more dinners then you will pass... my uncle's response was "STILL 'L' LICENSE", it was so funny.......

me and my mum share a love hate relationship... i love her to bits no doubts about that but we will always argue and will always never agree on something.. but the moment we agree on something, it is blissful in the sense you feel the love and the care between mother and son..

i want to share something with you which i found touching and was in tears when i read it..

Parent's Wish- TO OUR DEAR CHILD,

on the day when you see us old, weak and weary..
Have Patience and Try To Understand Us..

if we get dirty when eating...
if we cannot dress on our own..
Please Bear With Us and Rememeber the Times We Spend Feeding You and Dressing You Up

if, when we speak to you, we repeat the same things over and over again.. do not interrupt us..listen to us.....
When You Were Small, We Has to Read The Same Story A Thousand and One Times Until You Went To Sleep

when we do not want to have a shower, neither shame nor cold us..
Remember When We Had To Chase You With Your Thousand Excuses To Get You To The Shower?

when you see our ignorance of technologies
Help Us Navigate Our Way Through These Worldwide Webs

we taught you how to do so many things...
to eat the right foods, to dress appropriately, to fight for your rights..
when at some moments we lost the memory or the thread of our conversation..
Let Us Have The Necessary Time To Remember..and If We Cannot, Do Not Become Nervious..
As the Most Important Thing Is Not Our Conversation, But Surely To Be With You and To Have You Listening To Us

if ever we do not feel like eating, do not force us...
We Know Well When We Need To and When Not To Eat

when our tired legs give way and do not allow us to walk without a cane....
Lend Us Your Hand The Same Way That We Did When You Tired Your First Faltering Steps

and when someday we say to you that we do not want to live anymore, that we want to die...
do not get angry.. some day you will understand..
Try To Understand That Our Age Is Not Just Lived But Survived

some day you will realise that, despite our mistakes,
We Always Wanted The Best For You,
And We Tried to Prepare The Way For You

You must not feel sad, angry nor ashamed for having us near you. Instead;
try to understand us and help us like we did when you were young..

Help Us To Walk.....
Help Us To Live The Rest of Our Life With Love and Dignity.

We Will Pay You With a Smile and By The Immense LOVE
We Have Always Had For You In Our Hearts.

We Love You, Child
Mom and DaD
