I got it from my momma…

“ Baby where d’you get your body from?

Tell me where d’you get your body from.

Baby where d’you get your body from?

Tell me where d’you get your body from.

I got it from my momma.

I got it from my momma.

I got it from my momma.

I got it got it got got it?”

-Will.i.am-

OK i lied. My momma wasn’t as plump as i am now before she got married to my dad! (Shame on you, Hanim! =P)

So, nope i dunno where the hell i got my body from. Must be from that ooeey gooeey tasty fatty stuff i’ve been swallowing all this while with the help of my very own indiscipline attitude. Argh, never mind that! But i know for sure these are amongst the character/attitude/behaviours i inherit from my momma:

1. WORKAHOLIC iron lady (Sometimes, you push yourself to the limit despite other people’s concern on your health and well being. Take a break mum. Chill~ *Err, yes-i’m speaking for my ownself too, that is!* )

2. WORRY TOO MUCH (Sorry mum, don’t mean to be harsh. Just being brutally honest. We confess. As we used to call you “Freak-a-zoid” when we were kids whenever you freaked-out. Now however, i totally understand how you must have felt as i am now prone to get panic easily especially whenever i got lost in the middle of nowhere or usually on Sundays, thinking about deadlines on Mondays. Ish, “Gelabah” me! Padan muka~)

3. EMPATHY towards less fortunate creatures and humankind (although my affection towards the kids, the cats, the fishes, the tortoise etc. are usually shown in a uniquely “gentle-bully” manner, unlike my momma–with tender loving care)

4. SPENDING GENEROUSLY on stuff we call it crafts, other people call it junks

5. Creates thick scummy earwax of others by SINGING our lungs out (like-nobody’s-business) in the bedroom, bathroom or car. (Dad, did anyone ever tell you that you make a great “listener”? You are indeed dad, as you’ve survived harking to our vocal–therapy most of the time. Thanks dad! You’re simply the best.)

I would say that my mum possesses way better qualities than i currently do. How i wish i could inherit some of these respectable traits of hers:

1. SUPERB COOKING ABILITY (I need this badly, mum. S.O.S!)

2. SUPERWOMAN juggling between career and kids (Tough job. Considering “us” as the nasty products mum has raised)

3. AMAZING COURAGE and STRONG WILL (obviously being portrayed during her fight against her Cancer disease.  Shooh Cancer. Go Away! And please don’t come back for good!)

4. STANDING UP FOR HER RIGHTS to reason with people (Girl Power!)

5. Excellent WRITING SKILLS (Mum, you’ve always been my walking dictionary, grammar teacher and vocabulary feeder. Truly appreciate that! More lessons but less lectures (nag) please. Terima kasih! J

Above all, my mum is a great woman in our heart. Her determination, individuality and strength is unique to us and from her, we realized that every person has the ability and capability to live a simple and righteous life.

Although i would really love to inherit mummy’s positive traits, i can still recall mum constantly reminding us just to be ourselves despite our imperfections and everything will be OK.

Mum, you are the living pillar in our family. We admire you for being a woman with good character and great qualities! You have done us proud…

Mama, i love you. Mama, i care…

Hope you’ve enjoyed our family-get-together earlier today… J

To all the existing mothers in the whole wide world (Pait, this one goes out for you too! Note: Yes, YOU ARE a mummy now!), HAPPY MOTHER’S DAY! May you live each day with gratitude and enjoy life as a close-knitted family. Happiness always~
