May is the month that I will be most broke in the whole year. Mummy's and Mr Love's bday falls on this month, as well as our dating anniversary. I totally can understand how Mr Love felt in March though many a times, he would juz combine my bday and wedding pressie. Haha...Mine spending this month is double kk..Whahah.Not that I am complaining, the 2 persons who meant the most to me in the world are celebrating their bdays 2 days apart only:)
Mummy is secretly glad to share her bday month with Mr Love, we always ended up celebrating for them together though we would have a mini celebration for him alone.
In a blink of eyes, mummy is turning 60 this year. How time pass, she can get her purple card oredi. Looking back, she realli came a long way. From the carefree housewife, to a eventful mid life crisis where she worked her ass off to make ends meet and finally to this stage where she finally can start to enjoy the fruits of her labour.
Despite her strict upbringing with us, I am secretly glad for her teachings. You know, when people comment that they think my mum brought us up well, I am not proud of myself, I am proud of her. Yes, she realli did a great job in my opinion. Never once did she gave up to the hard facts of life, never once did she waver under stress from life. She persist on with the firm belief everything will be well after the rain. The rain did last quite long I would say, but we are glad its finally sunshine after the rain:).
Being the only gal among the 3, I was being watched and worried most. Afterall, they say daughter will be at the losing end most of the time. Mummy was especially strict to me, curfew at 6pm, no staying out, no wearing of revealing clothes, no bf before 16, no shotgun marriage allowed(this is constantly drilled to me), grades must be maintained during dating and the list goes on.
The list is so intensive that 1 of my close gal fwen once called me cinderlla for leaving outings at 5pm to go hm..But when I looked back, there doesnt seems to be any time that I did go against her for the long list of rules she gave me. Perhaps, I know why she doing these, perhaps I neber want to worry her. Either way, she had an easy time with me on these rules. She would proudly tell others her long and overbearing rules and declared that I followed them down rite to the last 1.
You know how plp always comment kids coming from backgrounds similar to mine will turn astray? Not true, the 3 of us belong to the other side of the story. Though not particularly successful in life, but we were consider good citizens, free of trouble which makes mummy life a tad easier.
Its not easy coping with life in Singapore, even not easy coping with living like a single mum with 3 kids. I know we didnt want to disgrace her by having people sterotyping us into "kids with family problems" and thus none of us got into any big trouble at any stage of life. Of cuz, we are no angels. Occassionally, we will make her mad till she goes crazy. I guess this is juz wat every mother face during the process of bringing up their child isnt it? *bleah*
This also marks the 12th year of our dating anniversary. 12 years ago seems so far away, but everyday I am learning something new about the guy who I decided to be together 12years ago in this month. Looking back, there are alot of memories slowly fading away. How we used to go dating with our limited pocket monies, in contrast, there is so much we can do now but am lazy to go out anymore.
I love sitting in our study room now, sometimes looking at the memories shelf I have created where it displays our photos taken over the years. Till now, many people who know us for the 1st time will point out our very contrasting character, the loud 1 (me) and the quiet 1(Mr Love). But I guess that is how chemistry work and created the sparks between us.
I wouldn't trade anything else in the world for the past 12 years we had together. Its different from your family memebers, this is the guy I choose as a life partner, the guy I entrust my most youthful, precious 12years of my life and of cuz the rest of my life to. I pray to god to let this be the correct choice, thus I strive to only remember his good points to remind myself why I fell in love with him in the 1st place.
Every time this year would be a period of celebrations and non stop feasting. But like Mr Love pointed out during mother's day. You dun have to wait till special occasion to start showing your love 1s care and concern isn't it? Happie bday mummy and lao gong. Happie 12th year anniversary to us too. Here's to good health and many many more good years to come. Cheers.
