An Emotional Week..

Hello...

** I'll have you all know that i am NOT SO FREE DURING MY STUDY WEEK THAT I CAN BLOG. I am now in the library logging on into a very old and slow computer waiting for the computer labs upstairs to be free.. so that i can continue doing my work!!! it's all full and my deadline's approaching!! ARGH... ...well, while waiting, i will just talk abt my recent emotional week... Don't waste time ma, right.. :)**

A friend of mine sent me an email about the earthquake in China... I just opened it yesterday and i came across a picture that drove me to tears. Melvin looked at it and i could tell he was wondering why i was crying at that particular picture.... It wasn't a picture of crushed bodies or men and women crying.. It was just a boy eating some noodles..

I just kept thinking he must have been 5? and he's there eating all by himself! at that age, we all probably have our mommies feeding us and calling for us to eat! .. but he's there, eating so hungrily and lining up for food.. who knows.. This picture made me realise how lucky i am to have such a blessed childhood.. Maybe this emotion has lots to do with my mom visiting me the past week. I miss her so so much.. There was great cooking again.. We were happily talking abt how she is and how we are.. what we did.. and i didn't feel so lost again.. Even when it was a stressful time, i didn't feel stressful at all. Whatever stress i was having, it disappeared with my mom's laughter, even nags. hehe, i didn't want to leave her.. One time i had to go to the lab because it was my last class and i needed to get some work done before the study week to show my tutor. So tak sampai hati.. aih.. but i went la.. anyways, we cooked together, went for dinners, the movie Indiana Jones (Just like old times.. family watching movie together.. hehe.), shopping, and also celebrate melvin's birthday. It was great fun. i'll always appreciate it and never forget it.



I also felt so lucky la.. Throughout the whole visit, my mom took care of us.. she cooked, she made sure we have a place to stay(which was the main reason she came during this time anyway), and she cleaned up the house better than any of us living in the house could. Maybe that's what hit me hard when i saw that picture. The difference between me and that boy is that i still have my mommy taking care of me and making sure i'm ok and he didn't.. I'm like a 2o year old baby. and i realise, i shouldn't be anymore. i should grow up. When my mom visited, i realised a few extra wrinkles on her face, a few grey hair on her scalp.. It's not her turn to take care of us anymore. We should start taking care of her!



**Even when she's cold, she still wants to give me the thick blanket.. ** This kind of self sacrifice, I'm gonna cry..! Love you mommy! so so much! You're the best mommy!
