Happy Birthday to you..
Happy Birthday to you..
Happy Birthday to Mummy..
Happy Birthday to you!!!
(Imagine me, Eddy, Evy and Ethan offering a good round of hugs and kissings and clappings)
The above is the result of the following :
- Improvements in the technology world by leaps and bounds
- Increasing commitments and responsibilities (face to face meetings rare)
- The love for my mother
*****************************************************************************************************************
My Momsie
Name : My mother - Ang Lay Lian alias Ah Mei (Mei as in younger sister)
Birthdate : 1964 November 10 - Year of the Dragon
Horoscope : Scorpio
Siblings : 6 siblings, and she is child #6
Character
For those who do not believe in Zodiacs and horoscope.. well, you will, after you know my mama. She definitely lives up to her star sign man.
My mom
- is as mild tempered as the DRAGON. In the days when you cannot pick a gun and shoot someone down as desired anymore, she picks up her weapon pen to pin anyone down that she finds a pain the neck, in the form of snail mails, emails and wadsoever. she just neva let things off.
- is as merciful as a Scorpion. She will only make you lose your job if are rude to her, slammed by your boss if you make a mistake and make me feel like sleeping in a coffin when I lie to her.
Although the above sounds like they are negative traits.. they are in fact subtle positive traits. During boh bian times, she blows her fire and stings whoever that threatens her loved one - the only fact is that she has quite a number of loved ones, so it always appear like she is blowing her fire and stinging non-stop. (sounds scary huh?)
The lovely side
I m so proud of you, MAMA!!! She can endure hardship, as good as those who went through WWII. She is resilient against tough situations. She is smart and hardworking. She is selfless to those she loves. She has a good listening ear.. that is why everyone loves to call her to complain.. she is an all rounder. She can be tough as a man when she needs to be, and submission as a Japanese wife when required. What more can we ask for?
Sweet 44
44 years of life she has went through and I feel that she has done so well. There are many phases of life that she has walked through and she deserves more than most mothers do.
Beautiful Wishes
I hope that in the coming years, my mom is able to reap what she has sowed. The coming phases of her life is nothing but happiness and laughters and all things good. I hope she is always well rested, healthy and loved.
My gifts for her
Tangible gifts
- The two angels which are also called her grandchildren - They love her as much as I do
Intangible gifts
I have finally understand the meaning of intangible gifts. They are actually far more precious than the ones that can be seen and touched.
- A promise to my momsie that I will be as strong as she is
- I will love life and raise my 2 angels to 2 useful beings, good for society

Happy Birthday to you Mama.

Girl, without you, I won't know and learn how to love a child unconditionally. Since young, you are always so beautiful, so sensible, so sweet, so cute that everyone wants to snatch you away from me! There were always someone who want to be your godma or godpa, and even god-grandma!!! wow!*&^@#$$
In fact, only this morning I was still thinking how amazing it was that I could grab you up so confidently and carried you in my arms in KKH on my very own for the very first time in my life to hold a 1-day old baby (no training at all leh!!!), at the age of 17 years 2 months and 21 days, one day after I gave birth to you. No pre-natal classes or watsoever preparation course, and yet I didn't drop you at all! Not bad hor....this one also can considered as 'smart' too??? heehee
It is still clearly in mind how so lost you were when you first tried to change diaper for Evy on the 2nd day of her birth in KKH. I was just stepping into the ward and saw you, rolling her right and left, trying to get her diaper in place. When you saw me, you just dropped the whole thing and said, "I don't know what to do!!!". Recalling it still tickles me alot!!! hahaaa
Without you, I won't know what is love too. I won't know how to fight through all ways to protect all my loved ones.
Looking back my 44 years of journey, as what you said, lots of ups and downs, joys and pains, tears and laughters....but it has been a wonderful journey with my loved ones surround me....though not physically. Without all of you, I will not be where I am today. Without all of you, I will not learn what is love. Without all of you, my life will be very very very dull and boring hor.............No REGRETS!
And yes, I am enjoying my fruits now....receiving all the love from all my loved ones: my one and forever only one daughter, my grandchildren, my son-in-law, my son, my lau-kong, and my Heavenly Father.
Thanks, Girl, for your beautiful message. This is the most beautiful and best birthday gift I received this year!!!!
I LOVE YOU ALL!!!
And I know you WILL be even stronger and better than Mummy in all ways!
Afternote:- Still working hard to drop the formerly won title "Complaint Queen"!!!
