You said I'm Pinga? Haha.
It has been 2years since I moved here. But I could never forget the days before I left, it was rather a last minute decision to fly here. I didn't have much time to linger around but I did anyway. But it was as if my mum was the one who was going to leave. She rushed here and there buying my things, getting things ready for me. She even packed my whole luggage for me.
You know how you always get the special treatment when you're leaving and going somewhere far away from your family? But my mum has been like that since I was a little girl, she's always more anxious than I am, in almost everything. Despite being asked many times, I was quite reluctant to leave, so I didn't want to pack my bag. As expected, mum started packing while me and daddy just laughed as it worked, (part of me was lazy, so I chose to ignore the whole leaving thing) the trick worked. But one thing I didn't say at that time was how sad I was, and how I wanted to just cry and cancel the whole coming here thing. The picture of mum sitting there packing still at 2 in the night, still comes up in my mind every now and then.
I knew I could manage on my own, but having my mum with me, helping me through everything was a better choice. It didn't help in making me independent, but it definitely made me happy!
Yes, mum loved dressing me up. Remember how she loved tying my hair, I didn't like it because it used to hurt as I used to have so much hair on my head ( I still do anyway ), so it wasn't easy to tie them all up and make it neat. But as I got older, I learned that my brother is one year younger than I am, so mum was never free to do everything at once. But still she'd dressed me up and made me look like a doll everyday. That time I was already able to tie my own hair, but still I miss having my mum to do my hair for me. It felt good every once in a blue moon where she'd offer to tie my hair for me.
Mum, do you still remember the red mechanical pencil you gave me as an award for my good grades when I was little? You made me the happiest kid that day. Kids used to be so easily satisfied huh? I don't know about kids nowadays though, it doesn't seem like it anymore. But whatever it is, you always make me a happier kid no matter how old I am.
You're my very own hero in my heart :)
You might not be the best mum in the world,
but you are definitely the best mum for me!
The mum that everybody would wish for!
That would be one of the reasons why,
I love you, mummy!
Happy Mother's Day!
