Mother's Day

Hi Everyone,

We celebrate Mother’s Day every 2^nd Sunday of May every year. This year, it falls on 11^th May 2013. We came out from our mother’s womb when we were born. Some of us were breast fed by our mothers.

A mother will always be there for her children. Together with father, she brought us up to where we are now. She knows what is best for her children. She gives advice to her children. She can be nagging and longwinded but she will say it will be for own good and it turns out to be so. She will ask you to find a girlfriend / boyfriend prior to our marriage age. She can sacrifice her work to be a full time housewife, fetching her children to school / college / university and back, cook and takes care of the house.  She will find a good school for you to study in. She is a listener.  She works hard for her family. She can advise you on your clothing choices.

She needs to know where you are when you are not home. She will be worried when you are working late or coming back from cell group late. She is worried for our safety. She wants us to walk in brightly lit places or crowded places.

She trains the maid for those of us who have maids at home. She is there when we need help. If we are overseas, she will fly over to help you. She can help to take care of your new born baby and give you tips on looking after the baby for daughters. She will prepare fruits for us when she knows we are not getting enough of that. She makes sure we have a good breakfast every day. She is patient. My mum flew over to Melbourne for cook nice meals for me one year during my university exam period. She flew over there as well to help my sister to take care of my niece and nephew and cook for my sister’s family during her stressful period.

She encourages you and gives hope to you. She asks us to take care of our health.

We love you, Mum.

Everyday is Parents' Day.

Happy Mothers' Day

Hi, I would like to wish all mothers a Happy Mother's Day tomorrow! It's your day tomorrow. Just relax! Don't think too much about your family. Mothers play an essential role in the family. My mother for example has been supporting and caring for us since we were young. She is thoughtful and will be there for us no matter where we are. I want to thank my mother for what she has done for me in my life whether I am in Malaysia or Indonesia or when I was studying in Monash University in Melbourne. She once came for a few weeks to cook and care for me one year during my exam period. This was in my 2nd year of my uni which was in 2005. She was also in Melbourne for a few months to help take care of her grand-daughter, my niece when she was born. My mum was there when my sister was giving birth in Melbourne. She knew how to take care of a baby when my niece was born. She was thoughtful of her family. Here are some of the things my mother have done for my family:

• Took care of us when we were still babies
• Helped to make decisions in our life
• Gave thoughtful advice for us when we are making important decisions in life
• Drove / drives us around when my father is / was not around
• Taught / teaches / us to drive
• Fetches us to and fro to and from school
• Took care of us when we are sick
• Took care of us when we worked hard and came back late. She will ask the maid to heat up the food for us.
• Made / makes sure that we stay healthy all the time
• Made / makes sure that we will have breakfast, lunch & dinner
• Made / makes sure that I will eat something / have dinner when I worked late
• Shopped / shopping for groceries / do the marketing for us
• Introduced us to Internet when the Internet just launched in Malaysia through Jaring
• Introduced my dad to do e-Banking
• Took / takes the trouble to do certain things for us
• Installed an air-cond in my room so that I can study better. It is to provide a conducive environment for study.

Generally, all mothers would have / will do/ have done all these things. This is a tribute to all mothers. My mum likes You Raise Me Up especially sang by Josh Groban. So mum, this is dedicated for you and of course all mothers, You Raise Me Up sang live by Josh Groban:
