My Mom

I called my mother this morning,wanted to tell her that I received another interview for a job opening,but abah answered her hp instead.Abah told me that mak not well,she complained that she's in pain whenever she wanted to pee and she complained that she's so tired and her back&waist hurts so much.Abah brought Mak to the hospital and they referred her to a surgeon.Apparently,Dr. suspect there's stone.She sounded very weak when I spoke with her.

My hubby was panicky,he asked me to call everyone,told him to calm down&I will update my younger siblings later.Managed to called Abah after lunch,there's particles in her urinal gland(I hope I got this correct..).Doc. gv her medication and for her to rest at home.

I'm so worried...lately both my parents are not well.There's only the two of them in the house.Day time there would be my brother's maid,because my nieces went to a chinese school near my parents house.Night time they would be on their own...I actually misses them a lot.They just came to my house last week.Mak went shopping during the Craft Carnival and bought a whole bunch of stuff.She spend about RM1000 plus minus..I can tell you that she managed to fill up the boot of the car and the passenger seats with her stuff.She bought mengkuang mat,tudung saji(traditional food cover),little trinkets box,boxed made from leaves(A sabah product), woven basket..etc (to name a few..). I was so teruja with the stuff that she bought that I actually went to the craft sale & bought some stuff myself.She knew that I love that kind of stuff,traditional stuff...I did went gaga actually...but then I have limited budget so I really have to choose the stuff that I need and really want...

The thing about my mom& me,when I was younger we were not the best of friends.My mom was brought up with strict up bringing,she's the youngest of 6 siblings.She was not allowed to further studies in boarding school let alone to go to university.She was a civil servant in the state prosecutor's office,The PA for the DPP (i guess that's why I'm inclined towards doing law).Her former bosses are the judges in the High Court of Malaya.I remember that I used to sit in her office after kindergarten until lunch time before we heads home.She would give me a paper and a pencil for me to scribble.I remember uncle Maniam,a very nice chap,who would chat with me& share wafer biscuits with me,I remember Mr.Varghese,an elderly man,very strict,no nonsense looking.I kinda of afraid of him,then there's Auntie Lily,my mom's cousin,Achik Kiah,Abang Li...

Believe it or not,they still keep in touch despite all those years.

My mom was a great believer in etiquette,we have to dress properly,sit properly,eat properly..while me on the other hand,reaching my teens,I was rebellious...It took a divorce on my part to actually bring us closer.We had our differences, but no matter what,a mother will always love her child.
