Mom & I

I cannot remember when was the last time I went out with Mom just the 2 of us. Dad was away in Kuantan for a wedding and Daddy Yeoh offered to babysit Sara.


Mom and I went to the Parkson in Overseas Union Garden or better known as OUG along Old Klang Road, for she wanted to do some quick shopping on Saturday. We had ‘bak kut teh’ for lunch in a small quiet restaurant in mall itself. I can’t remember the name of the restaurant but it’s the only one serving ‘bak kut the’. We ordered a plate of veg, a small clay pot of ‘bak kut the’, a small claypot of pork cooked with spring onions and dried chilli (this is good). We ordered yam rice to go with the dishes instead of the normal white rice. And all these for just RM27 plus with 2 cups of ‘leong chah’. I will recommend this place for anyone who wants to have a not too heavy ‘bak kut the’.


After lunch Mom and I did some shopping in Parkson. It was such bliss because 1) there is no crowd and 2) no kids to hurry us off. For once she was able to shop without having to mind my kid or my sis’s kid. She got herself 2 shirts and a pair of shoes. After she had paid for her purchase, she waived her shopping bag at me with a GLEE. By the time we reached home, it was raining cats and dogs.


While at home, she was going on and on how glad she was with her purchases. She tried on the 2 shirts she bought and went on and on (Round 2) how nicely it fitted her and so on. As for me, I was just nodding my head off and on in agreement with her.


After all the excitement, Mom and I were too lazy to cook or prepare any dinner. So I offered to be our pedicurist and did pedicure for Mom and myself while waiting for Daddy Yeoh and Sara to pick me up.


That pretty much sum up the time I had with Mom on that weekend. Was glad that she enjoyed herself.

I think when we have become adults with our parents, we can really enjoy each other's company with so much more undrestanding.

There were also a few times I managed to sneak out to take my mum out for errands and we also enjoyed ourselves, she filling me in on all our relatives news (yes, gossip) and me telling about things at home.

Things get done, and we also usually get a nice quiet meal with no kids fuss over or to run after.

It is good to spend time with our mum. I feel as a mum now, I can relate to my mum better now. Glad you good day. Hope more opportunities like these arise!

My dad-in-law passed away on September 1, 2007 to begin an eternal life with our Lord. He was a man with few words, gentle in his ways and had a generous heart to all. He had led a hard life but he was blessed with a loving and faithful wife and three wonderful sons. He had fought a long hard battle of cancer for years. And throughout his life, he kept his heart closed against the Lord. Due to persistent prayers of those who love him and the brotherly love of Sitiawan Methodist Church members, my dad-in-law accepted the Lord Jesus as his personal Saviour, follow thereafter by my mum-in-law. They were both baptized last month. His sickness took a bad turn last week and the sons were called to return home to see him for the last time. There were a few times that they thought my dad-in-law was not going to make it but he managed to pull through. It came to a point, my brother-in-law prayed for a confirmation from God the time which my dad-in-law will be called home. The day before my dad-...

Anniversay

I couldn’t sleep that night. As much as I wanted to but I was full of excitement that my heart could hardly contained. I looked around me and the room was almost in total darkness. The sun has yet to rise for the day. I turned around to turn off my alarm and lie on my back looking up the ceiling. Train of thoughts was running through my mind like a movie clip. As soon as I heard birds chirping, I turned to my side and got up from my bed to make my way to the bathroom. It was nice taking a warm shower before the start of the day. I slowly made my way to the kitchen to find my mother already awake and was up and about preparing breakfast. I was halfway enjoying my hot piping coffee when I received a call on my cell. “Hi, I am outside your house”. I was expecting him to come but didn’t expect him to be this early. I opened the front door and we made our way to my parents’ room. I sat in front of the mirror relaxing myself while he did his masterpiece of painting my face. After a whole 2 h...
