Reminiscences and Mother's Day tribute
The night after 6th May gathering at my house. Jen, after having braved through a well-deserved scolding from her mum for a bad thing she had done, cheered up after hearing her mother's forgiveness. Such is the love that God has for all of mankind, though greater and more profound than any parent can ever give. Tomorrow is Mother's Day, but besides talking abt her Mama tonight, Jen also feels like talking about the outing at her house last night. "Her house" is a bit misleading cos it's her Grandpa's house, not her parents'.
Everyone who knows my Mom can't deny that she is a very attractive woman, even for her age. I always hear stories of her beauty and the literally scores of admirers back in the days when she was my age. Her suitors include one of the prominent academic of today, not to mention the directors of certain banks. Her room mate used to be really irritated at the barrage of suitors coming to her room late at night when they wanna study. She had also developed a perfect strategy of running away from certain undesirable suitors who turned up at her house back then and wanted to send her to school. She was fit and glowed with health, brimming with carefree smile that extended to other people. My Dad had to wait for 10 years before they got married, notwithstanding their age gap of 10 years oso. In my aunt's words, she "sold like hotcakes". I sometimes suspect that she is kinda disappointed that I am not like her in this respect, but oh well.
But as a Mom, she has her faults like everyone else, but loves us deeply. She has high expectations, especially of me, perhaps becos I'm a gal as well. I like to say that I have a love-hate relationship with her. That is, I love to hate her and she hates to love me hahahaha.... I have been a rather difficult child since baby, but her love has neva left me. She is a rare gem who never begrudge care and concern towards other people as well. Usually, if I complain to her that so and so mistreated me, she will first question what have I done to incur the wrath of the other party instead of flying to my defence at once like most moms do. It used to sadden me, but now I know her reasons and she has been trying to understand things from my point of view more. U can even go so far as to say that she is one person who truly try to be objective. My Mama.
Turning attention towards the "party" in my house as everyone has been calling it, I'm glad that everyone enjoyed it. Many people msged me afterwards to thank me, thanks guys! It was my pleasure! Dun worry about my aunt, it was my fault for not telling her about it. She is really a nice person on other days!
I am glad that the quarrel as I mentioned in previous post was solved before the party in the most amicable way. Thank you, HX! It did make interaction during the party so much more easy!
Thanks to Andrew who brought along his hi-fi cum KTV set together with VCDs! It would really have been so different without this KTV element! Nice falsetto voice, man!
My love and thanks to those who brought food and drinks. They are really good! Chye Guan, sorry that I couldn't eat much of your mee goreng. It was too spicy, even for me! But it was good! Pearl, you xian qi liang mu, such a good cook u are! Thanks for coordinating the food, gal! And for all your help this last few days of the sem, you know for what! It's so good to get to know you better! Ziqian and Hong Xian, thanks for the drinks! They did the sore throats good! Johan, thank you for your sago biscuits! There are still 1 packet left over, which I will munch on over the next few days hehe. Shi Zhi, you are also good in the kitchen, eh! Thanks for making the salad! Thanks to Sarah for your salad too! Love ya, gal! Shu Huei, thanks for helping out in the kitchen! I think u are really pro in everything you do! You sing well, too!
Thanks for all those dog-lovers who came to manja my dogs. I get so busy that I don't do that so they get lonely. Thanks, Sarah, Pearl, Shu Huei, Shi Zhi, Andrew ( din u say that you wanna carry them? haha) and Hong Xian!
James, thanks for giving your rendition and interpretation of William Hung. I'm sure you can gve him a run for his money!
Those talented souls who played the piano for us, thank you! Chris, you have such potential! I can't believe you dun have formal piano training! Soon Onn, bravo, bravo, bravo! Thanks, dear bro in Christ for encouraging me for my quiet time! And also for sending Johan to take taxi! U are a great pianist! Sam, you are good! Are you sure you haven't touched the piano for a long time? Samantha, you sounded like an angel! This Andrew had to spoil the mood in which I said it by asking if you were flying and flapping your wings! Your voice lesson is bearing fruit, but then your voice has always been lovely! Thanks to Yue Heng, for keeping tune with his guitar and harmonica! What can I say, you have such a talent for music! And thanks to Hong Xian for being the chief fanner in the hot, hot room! See, you are not only proficient in wushu and photo taking!
Thanks to the kind souls who drove people here and home. Dear Hanyong, Hoe Yin, Nadine, Andrew and Sarah, thanks a million!
Thanks to photographers like Hong Xian, Samuel etc. Must send the photos to us yeah!
Thanks to Nicholas for coming! I must admit that I thought Jamie was joking when he asked if you could come. Only until Yue Heng repeated it that I knew it was not. Oh Jamie, thanks for the baquettes! They are really quality!
Thank you for being kind in the game of First Impressions! But, Sam , are you sure you noticed my vast wardrobe back then? Sorry, Hong Xian, but I really din know you existed till the preliminary presentations for our essay for the Medha module.
Ok must go back to catching up on my lost sleep last night. Sweet dreams!
