Mummy's Day

It's Mother's Day today! The day we show appreciation to the woman who gave us life. I love my mummy. But I don't remember saying "I love you, mummy." I've only said "Who says I don't love my mother" whenever she argues with me. I do little things every day to show her exactly how much I love her and how lucky I am to have her as my mum. Although I may not agree with her on many things and everyone always sees or hears us at each other's throats, I am glad she has brought me up in this way. I wish I had more time with her. That's part of the reason I work at Maersk now. I saw how my brother and her got closer when he worked there on the last project. I wished I could too.
She is an amazing woman. Because of her, my life is secure and comfortable. It wasn't always this way. But she did everything she could to make sure that her children wouldn't have to go through the hardships that she did.
Tough, intelligent, beautiful, motivated, hardworking, devoted... Laugh at me if you want but I aspire to be like her. She's the biggest motivation in my life. Sometimes I wonder how I can achieve as much as she has in her life. She's just that great. I am just a little embarrassed to tell her. Asian culture. We don't say it.

Bought her MJ's This Is It because she wasn't able to catch it in the theaters. She was extremely happy when I gave it to her. Bought his Number Ones album too, along with Andrea Bocelli's songbook. I know her best (:

She is sleeping now. I am happy she is getting some rest. She works too hard sometimes. I used to stay up past midnight to make sure she got home safely from work. AHHHH! Just so thankful. And everything she does is for us.

Happy Mothers' Day! (:
