A call of the day

I was browsing through AirAsia web to see if there’s any cheap flight so I can fly again, to anywhere I wish. It remind me that my mother called me the other night. She asked me if I’ve booked ticket for her to come here for a visit at the end of the year as well as coming to my possible graduation convo. I told her that there’s nothing left cheap already, she sigh for a moment… I was like… So blessed. Let me tell some stories here for a moment.

3 years old.
I remember when my elder sister and brother went out to school (Brother was kindergarten, sister was primary one). Her intention was to let me learn how to be independent. Come on, I was just 3, what do you expect me to do? That was afternoon, she went out to bring my brother back home, leaving me a long at home. I ran out to the gate crying for bringing me along Imagine the scene, my mother waving her hand asking me to go to her like 10 meters away - My first time know that her hand is the warmest on earth.

6 years old.
I got a wound at my right arm, so I have a long holidays at home My mother brought me to Sing Kwok for grocery. I saw a toy with chocolate in there, it was a shark by the way. I asked if I could have it. Well, at that time, our family financial wasn’t good, mom never wanna buy toy for us. That day, she said, ok, take it, we’re going back home now. I was so happy. On the way back, I asked her, why would she bought this to me? She said, it’s your birthday today - My very first birthday present.

15 years old.
I went to work, she encourage me a bit here and there. Ok, it was labour work. I asked for it, because I really do wanna know their statement of “Money is hard to earn”. She did ask me to quit a few time when I complaint about how hard the job is. However, when I get my salary, I gave her a RM50 note. She was so happy that she yelling and jumping like a siao za bor. That continued for a few days by the way - My very first reward.

24 years old.
She called me for a few times, telling me she wanna come to my convo, and due to AirAsia pricing, she wait! She never attend any of my event though. Most of the time I was alone, even when I first step into kindergarten, she just left. All I saw was bunch of mothers outside the windows watching their kids study. That explain why I’m fine to be alone eh? - My very first time knowing that sharing isn’t easy.

Tell me now, how can I not feel blessed because of her sigh…?

Sisters

Both of my sisters were at home when I reached to Sibu the other day. Thinking that there will be someone to company at home is good. Both my sisters, elder sister is 3 years elder than me, younger sister is 8 years younger than me, this calculation tells me that they suppose (If not are) to be independent. When I reached home just to find out…

Both of them are the laziest at home beside my brother. Hey, I’m not saying I’m hardworking, but at least neat, if you’re neat you don’t need to be so hardworking right? I mean if people don’t find it out, just pretend you are if the room is still in a normal condition. Not only rooms are messy, even bathroom faucets also can be broken, wash too much facial? Let’s talk about sisters

Elder sister, she had a quarrel with her husband (Again!), so she came back home for a rest. Although she saying she wanted to have rest, but she still looking for ways to make money, be it online or offline. Her husband and her owned a boutique, she wanted to sell it online, but not working well, why? One, she sleep damn late and woke up damn late, with this lifestyle you can’t think probably, trust me, I was like that before, that’s why my result was lame ass previously. I changed, when I woke up early, not only I felt fresh, my brain works damn well too. Then, due to the in love time when her husband (A rich father’s kid) they spent a lot, and worst, they get used to spend a lot, the rest, you make the idea how she behave at home.

Younger sister, she was born on 1992, when my parent was to get some financial support, after 1998 if I’m correct, which she is only 6 years old, my father was on ok situation, so she gets whatever she want, sleeping in a cosy room with air conditional, get protected by my elder sister, and worst, get influences by my sister - A lot! Kids born on 1992 onward are called as “Millennium kids” where she stick with computers and television, that’s the Heaven for her. She seldom go out with friends, which is good news, unlike me And she never do anything at home before, I wonder if she even know how to pick up a broom Anyway once before she said this statement “I just don’t feel right if the room is too clean”, right!

Heh… Funny female at home eh? When free, I shall talk about my brother as well

Cibai

Me: Oi, cibai, don’t play play the remote la…
Brother: Macibai, always watch yours!
Me: Cannot ar? How many time I watch lo?
Brother: That doesn’t mean you can keep watching now ma… KNNCB!
Mom: What? Your mother cibai is here, anything wrong?
Me & Brother: -_-”

It is sometimes good to have a mother who can cool down situation. Nice, nice…
