Sigh

feeling bit frustrated staying at home...

wish i could plunge into the deep blue or scale into the clouds...
or learn something new...
but no $
and permission...

how?!

it's as if looking for a job or studying further is the only legitimate path for now...
maybe i have more choices than i allow myself to think
maybe i ought to make my wants louder
maybe i should start..

somewhere...

A Mummy Day

The longest period i've ever left home was 1 week. Even so, i get home-sick. (Must be something mom puts in the food, that after few days away fr it, i get withdrawal symptons n start craving for home;p)

Here's 5 things to thank mummy for (a love recollection) :

1. Rescuing me fr a monkey. Me, my bro and my neighbour kids have tails when we're young. Used to swing around my neighbour's tree. Once a friendly monkey decided to join us, guess he couldn't tell the differences. Sadly, his presence terrified us. The older boys managed to save themselves, while i was stuck on a branch. It sat face to face with me. I cried. Well, it dissappeared n there was mummy. :)Not to mentioned there were a few times where Mr Monkey 'borrowed' some of our stuffs, including my first ever mechanical pencil and my favourite tortoise eraser. I was really heart-broken then. Well, but mummy redeemed them back. Here's to mummy, the monkey-fighter ! (My house in penang was surrounded by patches of undeveloped forest, so we get unusual visitors)

2. Making wonderful food. Used to remember her making fish balls in the kitchen, or kneedling cookie doughs, which i'll get a piece to play with. Not to mention her pine-apple upsidedown cake, almond cookies... slurps. Missing em'. Why u stop baking now mom? What i'm really thankful now is having home-cook food every night. and b'coz of that i can't cook. ;p

3. Saving me from looney teachers. she's one herself (the noun) though. Being in chinese primary skol - u get a taste of Mrs Trunchbulls. [T] Once in primary 2, i forgot to pass up my math homework (not that i didn't do, just din remember to pass up k) and was very scared to face mrs T. I received warnings b4. So... ;p Anyways, clever mummy took my workbook and marked it for me instead. Guess mom's not good at copying stuffs hur? I got caught !Nopes, Mrs T din believe my story, but mom came to see her and saved the day. Hmm...no wonder i never learned my lesson. Next, i was in a 'torture' class in std 6 (or so they call it the 'golden' class) where all the children were given >10 homework to do each day. Well, i complained about the workload, mom came to see my form teacher...lalalala

4. My personal tutor. The only time i started thinking was during form 6. Before that, mummy answered all my ad-math and physics questions. (so that i can sleep in class ;p)

5. Always there for us. Yeah, nice having a mom who works half day so kids like me can bug her anytime of the day ! her being there for us all the time makes my world turn round.

Mummies are such unbelievable creatures yea ? Well, of course i got my spankings and curfews and... but all in the name of love hur. So Happy Mother's Day !!
