Tag: 8 Random Facts About My Mum

I have to thanks Healy for giving me this wonderful Tag. To write this Tag, I have been searching high and low for my mom - wonderful pose...he,he..just can't find it lor....when I got time, better take my mom to studio to take some nice personal pic.

It is really meaningful and easy to write this Tag, because I have lot of stories to tell about my superb mom.

1. When she became grandmom, she just simply LOVE all her grandsons / granddaughters and pamper them so much till we all (her son and daughters) think it is too much. She will try to grant their wishes if she can fulfill it.

2. She simply a good cook!! Even my hubby keep praise her cooking and love homecook so much. And, Jona just put on weight when he is being taken care by my mom compare to daycare. Imagine all nice homecook food and all those nutritious chicken soup that she boil esp. for Jona. I'm really lousy cook lor....when I have superb cook mom, of course, I become lousy and lazy in learning how to cook.

3. Even though all of her kids has grow up, she still worries about us, esp when I went for travelling, or my younger sis take bus to come visit her. Or, if we faced some difficulties or problems, she will feel bad or worry about our problems too. That's why she is called MOM.

4. She love travelling so much. She said, while she is still fit to move around, she just wanted to travel as much as possible, which all of us truly agree with her. The big problem is, all of us is working and couldn't just simply take off to accompany her for longer period. She has been to China(several times), Korea, Europe, Australia, New Zealand, Thailand, Singapore and what else huh, I can't remember liao... And, my biggest wish if I become SAHM one day, I will travel with her as much as I could.

5. Beside being excellent cook, she is superb in making pastry, cookies or cakes. It really taste yummy and nice. When I was young, I remember that she make birthday cake for us whenever one of us birthday. She make cookies for CNY, buns, curry puff, tart, etc for us to eat. And, she got lot of recipes book that she want to pass down to her daughters which currently only my eldest sis is interested on it.

6. She is excellent in taking care of me and my sis when we deliver our babies. Till now, I have no problem at all after confinement, even though, I switch on air con, fan 24 hours a day, and didn't really following the traditional rules of confinement. Mainly, I guess is because she boil and cook the nutritious meal for me.

7. She love gardening - esp planting the plant that contain good effect for health. Like pandan leaf - good to be drink daily for preventing gout, etc....

8. She love reading esp health magazine, newspaper and book. I guess my bro inherit this from my mom, and now, Jona too. Both my bro & Jona just love to go bookshop and can spend whole day inside bookshop without any problem. Definitely not Iz....:)

I can go on write and write and write about my mom, but, since it is 8 random facts about my mom, I better stop it now.....

Anyway, I really appreciate what my mom did to me all these years. Without her, I really couldn't be what I'm today - career & family....THANK YOU SO MUCH, My dear MOMMY!

I won't pass this Tag to other mommies, cause I guess all the mommies I knew, has done this Tag.

Thank U, Grandma

Finally, Grandma (my mum) 'contract' has been expired - she agree to babysit Jonathan till he is 3 years old . And, she happily back to my hometown and enjoy her 'Golden' year which I think she absolutely entitle for it.

"Thanks Mum, for your superb help throughout these year esp. in taking care of Jonathan for me"

Even tho it has been only 1 week that I handle my kids + work + housework alone by myself (of course, with the help from daddy - should praise him a bit), I find it really really tiring. And, how I wish my mum will volunteer to help me again.

The obvious part, is my Little Jonathan. He indeed do miss his grandma so much, that inital first few days, in several occasion, he will asked me where 'grandma' before he sleep, or immediate back from daycare, he will said "Mommy, I miss grandma. Where is grandma?" (It really make me feel so sad and helpless. This little boy do miss his grandma most). At one time, he will suddenly said "Mommy, I wan call grandma", and if I don't fulfill his wish, he will keep asked and asked, and please me.

To my surprise, when he talk to his grandma through phone, he seem like have 'adult' conversation. Telling grandma, what he did at school, eat, sleep, and even try to show grandma the craft that he did at school (by putting the picture at the phone - maybe, watching Barney too much; Barney always said " Use your imagination"). Or, maybe, he hint mommy and grandma to change handphone to 3G - where can do the sharing over the phone....

But, overall, I still manage to cope well with 2 kids + work + housework = and the happy part, the kids seem to grow up day by day, by having good relationship among themselves.....

Of course, in my heart, I still do wish grandma will change her mind and come back staying with me and kids after she bored with her life alone in my hometown. If she do came back, I will still continue with doing all housework + handling kids, and she just help me watch over Jonathan daily stuff...

"We really MISS you, Grandma"...
