Sunday, May 08, 2005 mum, shhh.... u're the greatest today is likely an ordinary sunday. rainy. cool. lazy. as usual i'm slacking my day away. but something's different. today's mother's day. but my mum's out. and i didnt prepare anything for her. to think that i never fail to make a mother's day gift for my mum. always hand-made. a photo-frame, a mug, a card... and i always thoroughly enjoyed it. but the older i get the more uninspired i get. in fact i was bereft of creative ideas since last year. i cant remember what i did for my mother on mother's day. is this how it will be like? while i cant say that my mum is my best friend and confidante, she touches me in many other ways. the sacrifices she made. the acts of concern. she isnt a good cook, but i will always look forward to sundays where we can have home-cooked meals, abeit it be always dishes of steamed fish, stir-fryed vegetables, prawns and soup. and not to miss out the tea break dessert. she is the one who made possible my dreams. my backpacking to europe and even my new-found appearance. and most of the times i feel extremely guilty for not showing my appreciation and love to her more openly. we certainly don't share close talks with each other like before. will we be more distant? when i go on to live my independent life, moving on with life. will my parents be left out of my life? is my indifference at mother's day be reflective of how i feel towards my parents? mother's day. i caught this snippet on tv saying that mother is the most beautiful english word to the non-english speaking people. father is not even in the top 16 words. pretty unfair huh. considering it takes mum and dad to have the kid. and objectively speaking, the word technically isn't a beautiful word without knowing the meaning behind the word. it has become so commercialised. i never need to worry about knowing when exactly is mother's day, weeks before its arrival i will definitely be besieged with advertisements with mother's day messages. basically messages that tell you to buy this and that for your beloved mum. like your love for your mum is only justified through how you treat her on mother's day. well love is intangible. amaranthine froze in time on 2:12 PM |
