Happy Mothers day

Today is a very special day tribute to all mothers especially to my mother. "HAPPY MOTHERS DAY". I get back home early from my usual mountain biking gathering in the afternoon. Reach home by 6pm and took bath. Went out to town and got ourself a nice decent dinner table where my parents and sister gather around enjoying dinner all nice seafood dishes. Of course its my treat today for my dearest loving mother and family. As usual i ordered my favorite butter prawn dishes to keep my spirit high in my stomach. My mom enjoyed it too. I manage to give her a card and present to express our love and thanks for her contribution to us. From her expression she was indeed very happy and gratefull that we're all together to share those happy moments. As we having our meal i watch my mother sip a bowl of ginseng soup slowly and looked into her eyes, skins and every feature of her. Very wrikley, aged and not as active as she used to be when i was young at teen age. Looks helpless i realised its time to pay her back with respect and gratitude. My mom raise us very well into a life full will all necessity that we need to keep us happy and educated. We as a children well protected and well pampered though i heard in the past she never had much luxury in life when she was young as my mother was born in a small village where electricity and modern things hard to come by. ...all wooden, fire stove, water and enough roofed shelter to keep her and her parent well lived back in those days. I guess i realised my mother don't want us to live in her old ways and raise us in such lucky environment. Even thou my parent live in such moderate economy class family they did their best to give us top notch education, food, facilities and entertainment without thinking themselves but all for the sake of their children...us. I don't think i can have such big capacity to be like her so i'm very much amaze with the volume of hardwork she pour onto us. She is almost getting into her 60's now. I was much worried as her health began to deteriorate. All the best i can do now is to make her happy, make a big family, a grandchildren for her soon and make sure she live with a life full off happy memories before the days ends. We as her children would like to say thanks for everything and there nothing in this world that can match her hardwork and love our onto us. We want her to be happy and we'll always be her side when in need. "HAPPY MOTHERS DAY" mom,

Childhood

Sunday in Limbang Church, breezy morning. Problem is my cold and feverish feeling started to bleak out into my brain, goo started to ooze from my nose but yet i remain 90% sane and capable. I couldn't stick much around in the church else i'll be spreading the cold to neary by neighbout so i decided to walkout for a fresh air outside and look around some interesting places. For me the outside compound wasn't much foreign to me. surrounding the church are old 70's blue woooden kindergarden schools, teachers quarters, primary schools and the old bridge crossing the big drain which by far most prominent landmarks stood permanent after 30 years.
Back then there was so much love and caring between me any my father, bond between father and son is strong. I was only 6 back then in this very place where i stand. I can still remember my father always be there watching over me outside the kindergarden classroom, feeding me during lunchtime, pick me up home on his old 60's vespa after school and by noon afterworks brrought us munchies to keep us happy everyday, During his spare times he always bring me out for a jog around behind the school and then would help me push the rocking chair at the playground with my sister everyweekend. There's not much material toys for us to shower for but we are much happier that our father always keep us happy and protect us as we always hold hands where ever we go. My life as kid was full of happiness, no despair yet fail to see who's behind all these possibilities, only after 23 years i'm back at the same place touching the same soil flash back the memories seeing mirage of an adult holding hands with a child on the children playground distance from where i stood...i realised its was all my fathers endless love and support.

My Father

Yesterday night my father went over to assist me over the car problem when i have trouble over my car engine somewehere where i got stuck near the aprking lot, I called him for help and he went all over from home to the destination in wee hours of the night. He didn't says anything just answer and go. He reached there and pull out the tools and do what best to help his children under hot weather, dusty, damp and oily work on the car engine. He use all his strength to push the car, pull out s ome hard tighten bolts and something that is beyond my normal strength. He says, "start the engine"..so i did but it fail. Then he continue toiling sweats for more than an hours. I asked him we should hire mechanic or tow truck or something but he says no, everthing is fine let we do by ourself. So i just sit back and watching as i don't know much about fixing a car. Late at night everything didn't worked well so he did some DIY tow cable and tow me all they way home without hesitation or second tought.
Back at home he slept late after settle some house work, teaching my sister school stuff, helping my mom on my grandmother medical care, and get back to check the car engine. He get on back looked tired, sweatty and yet very old in his age.
Throughout my life my father never fight and question about his children needs and reason when at times when in demand. Most people father just ignore their children and assume their children can stand on their own. Lucky me my father care so much and he will take anything to protect his love ones. I knew him very much, he is not the type seeking for material gains and fortune from his children. All he want to see is a better life for his children and family. Thats it. I wish i could repay him something that could make him happy and a way to appreciate what he has contribute to us. Maybe one day i could....make him happy until the end of the days. I love my father very much, i hope he knows too. May god bless him with fortune and happiness and also protect him on his journey of life.
