Happy Mothers' Day...

A mother is a person who seeing there are only four pieces of pie for five people, promptly announces she never did care for pie. -Tenneva Jordan

...to all the mothers out there! :D

Mothers' Day is a day set aside of all 365 days in a year for us - children (regardless of age), to take time to celebrate and show our appreciation of the many love and care our mothers have showered us till this day.

It is also a period where we take time to realise the sacrifices and time spent by our mothers especially during the times when we are down and ill, and/or during the times when we feel that there is possibly no one else in the world that could relate and understand our problems but our mom, etc; they never fail to ensure that we are properly taken care of.

Everyone has their own version of why their mom is the best in the world. For me, my mom = my best friend.

As cliche as that sounds, it is true. In my own definition of the term "best friend", they are the someone(s) who are consistently there for me whenever my foot get stuck in the mud of problems, the someone whom i could turn to to spill my guts out, someone who would be willing to sacrifice their ears being burnt from all my animated talking, someone who would also see me as someone they can trust and tell their feelings to and think of me as their best friend too. My best friend would be the one whom i could gossip about anything to, and the one who would not turn against me and stab my back. One who is straightforward with their opinions about anything and tell me i look fat and unpresentable in the dress i am wearing and the person who would motivate and believe in me no matter what i strive to do.

All that is what my mother is to me. Whenever i got hurt by something a friend did to me, the one person i turn to is my mom. (And also to my dearest Chu Ian too lar. Hehe! xD But this post is dedicated to my mom! xD) She reads my mind, i read hers; we think alike and we share similar taste in fashion. The fact that we are both Aquarius brings us even closer than ever! Not to mention that my mom's friends and my relatives all say i'm a photocopied version of my mom when she was younger. :D

That fact, is true. I remember looking through my mom's old pictures when i came across a younger version of my mom when she was on stage performing a dance. It showed her from a sideview. I could not believe my eyes when i came across that picture. At first glance, i thought i saw myself. Upon closer inspection, i still thought i saw myself. I showed my brother and he too went into shock mode and it was then that i understood why my mom's relatives all say:" Omg...your daughter loook SOOOOO much like you! Photocopied le! *study me intensely* Wahhh....!" :D

My brother and i always laugh at that sort of comment for it always made him and my younger sis feel as if they were one of those kids that ask their mothers the most dreaded question: "are we were adopted?". (Though strangely as it seemed, i was the one that often asked my mom that question when i was younger. LOL) I always tell him that i feel the odd one out given that he and my sis look the most alike instead! What with them sharing similar horoscope and temperaments. Sigh...it's challenging. xD

All in all, I'm truly blessed to have such a wonderful mother who was smart and wise enough to choose my father out of the many suitors she had and gave birth to us three good looking bunch (HAHA! I know i know...PERASAN!) and taught us well to become who we are today. :D I am always proud to show you off to my friends as the COOL MOM. LOL. You're my one of a kind mother who can never be replaced! Thank you for all you have sacrificed for us and the love you shower us unconditionally. I love you, mummy!

Happy Mothers' Day, Mom!
(as well as to all of your mothers, dear readers! :D)
