Happy Mother's Day to all mothers out there. We are wonderful moms, don't let anyone make us think otherwise. Real moms, step moms, foster moms, ibu susuan, we all have the role to nurture our children so that they grow to reach their full pontential.
I made a phone call to my mother on Saturday night to wish her Happy Mother's Day. That's it, just a wish. No presents, not even my presence. She was touched, nevertheless. I wish I could give her more of my time.
I received a hand-made card from DD. Last Friday, she came home from KAFA at around 6 pm. She immediately reached for her art-block, tore a piece of paper from it, took out her oil pastel set, asked me what are the colours of the rainbow, and sat down in front of the TV to start working on the card.
One hour later, she handed me the card. I told her to give it to me on Sunday. She sulked - plonked herself on the sofa in the living room and promptly fell asleep.
So I decided to look at the card after dinner. There's a huge picture of an rainbow in multi-colours. On the other page, she wrote down this message, again in multi-colours:
"Mummy, you're the best mother in the world. You make my heart colourful. You're colourful. I love you Mummy."
I gave her a hug and thanked her profusely. Now I don't know how I make her heart colourful or what it means to be colourful, but I'm touched, nevertheless.

Lps ayah dia komen dia p kutip bunga2 lama juga yg berguguran dr sebuah vase dan bungkus dlm kertas pembalut terguna bg kat Ky siap pesan jgn buang pembalut tu nanti blh guna lain kali..
'Oklah dek..'
Nida: Lain kali don't argue :) Accept je the wishes...
UAA: I make it a point to remember mother's day coz I want to call Mok and wish her. She's a bit sensitive abt this kind of thing.
IWA: Amboi2 anak teruna awak, siap bagi bunga. Perhaps you should express more feelings to him apart from "Ok lah dek" :p
