Sunday...

todae's Mother's Day.....my family doesn't hav the tradition of celebrating it though......well, i wished my mum Happy Mother's Day....dat's all.....felt a little bad not buying her anythg....hmm, actually i feel there r much more i can do to be a better son....

i was reading the sunday times todae....and there was an article where some interviewed mums were asked to rate themselves on a scale of maximum 10.....most gave themselves abt 7......well, i certainly will give my mum a perfect score of 10/10.....

she's tremendous....alwaiz here for me when i need her.....my strongest pillar of support....the most indispensable person in my life....even more impt than myself.....
I muz take a bit of time to describe tis wonderful person in my life...my mum....
while many mothers exert amounts of pressure on their children to excel academically or in other areas, my mum gave me 100% trust at an age where few mothers would hav done so.....
Since primary school, she had oredi loosened her reins on me....she alwaiz told me the same thing....
"whether i wan to study or not is my own choice"

Never did she give me any pressure to study.....never did she chid me for getting poor results.....never was she angry with me (at least not openly), never did she complain.....
I was a reali bad student to all my teachers in sec sch lor....although i was alwaiz in the best stream and subj combi class, i was also notoriously languishing near the bottom few for every exam.....and because it was a good class, as one can guess, not many students had to come back with their parents for the half-yearly 'Meet-the-Parents' session....well, my poor mum and I alwaiz had the dubious 'honour' to receive the invite....
In a way, i had abused my mum's trust and gift of absolute freedom......
With no pressure on me whatsoever, i played soccer everydae after sch till late afternoon.....and homework was never scheduled on my daily priorities list (ohh well, i didn't even hav priorities).....
so i ended up copying homework first thing in the morning every dae in class.....
and subsequently, the poor grades....

well, tis daes, i've been working so hard, and am glad dat i've manage to restore some pride for my mum....it's a pragmatic world out there....ppl often look at you through tinted glasses.....if u r rich, or if u r highly educated or if u r very successful, the glasses will be transparent....otherwise, the tint can be any imaginable colour....
All mothers yearn to see the dae when their children grow up to become mature, sensible and successful young adults.....although i'm not a mother, but i guess dat's the sentiment all mothers share....
So, everyone shld reali work hard to fulfill this fundamental wish which everyone's mothers hav.....I see it as a basic act of filial piety.....cos to be filial, again, another basic requirement is to ensure ur mum is happy....

yupz, i'll certainly do so.....and yah, enuff of my preaching again....i alwaiz get carried away easily and blabber on non-stop....
before i move on, yah....juz wanna say, I love u Mum! hahaz....

===========================================================================

it was a relaxing dae staying indoors....quietly reading my book and the newspapers.....I'm done with the Da Vinci Code....and i thoroughly enjoyed it.....i'm lookin forward to the movie when it opens tis thursday....hmmm, who shall i watch with? hehez, lemme ponder abt dat.....i tink i hav some ppl in mind....hee.....

juz a couple of daes ago, Ryan smsed me abt a job vacancy at his office.....he told me i can call the manager tmr....well, i'm quite interested in it cos i tink it'll be a good experience....besides, the period seems to fit nicely for me.....2wks to abt 1 mth.....not too long not too short.....well, i'm still tinkin whether i wanna work or not....cos maybe i shld rest instead....well, wait till after i call him tmr before i decide....
Ryan's reali been real nice to me....he's the bf of my sec sch classmate and fren, Cindy Tan.....in the past, we were never reali very close....Ryan and me i mean....but somehow, after i matriculated, he has alwaiz been helping me here and there.....lending me books, offering me advice on certain modules etc.....

and i'm thankful for it of cos....reali nice fren to hav.....whenever he has good lobangs, he'll ask me lor....makes me feel a little paiseh sometimes.....like tis job offering, i oso nv ask him abt any job lobangs....he juz asked me out of goodwill and on his own accord.....great buddy to hav...hehez...

hmmm, my brain has sort of been saturated.....had alot of thgs to say at the beginning but now it's being clouded out by my msn chatting...hahaz....so i guess i'll leave it more to the nxt post....

hAppY mOtHeR's dAy!!!
