TGIF!
and it's a pouring day!
i hope it stays cool but dry tomorrow.
why a day home on friday night?
no idea.
please da MOM?
hope it pleases her.
let's talk about the mom since it's nearing mothers' day.
my mom :
she's rather emotional.
e.g. she cried quite badly in front of the television
during the farewell of our people's president today.
she's an extreme clean freak.
e.g. when she mops the floor & you walk about, she'll yell at you.
she's quite a chatty home-maker. (not da gossipers pls)
e.g. comments too much during tv programmes that my pop & i have to go 'shhhh!'
she's a healthy woman.
e.g. goes for her almost daily jogs, nags daily at our intake of fruits, veg & water, etc.
probably some of ur moms are like that, but so far i haven't heard any mom like mine in the sense that......
when a pimple appeared on my forehead one morning, a couple years back,
she freaked out immediately.
she brought me to her skin doctor, and i was made to use 7 facial creams twice daily.
whenever i get a pimple she gets all anxious. she rants, "whatdidyoueat?!!! didyouwashyourface?! itoldyounottousefoundation!"
unfortunately, it isn't just my face she is SO concerned about.
i get a mosquito bite & without fail goes her sayings, "don'tscratchitellyou! didyouapplythecream?! goanddrinkNutrifreshnow!"
fyi, this is what i take every day.
1. Nutrifresh - natural fiber from fruits. (that is if i don't eat any fruits for the day)
2. Refresh - for cleansing of the kidney.
3. Rose tea - for a smooth and beautiful skin.
4. Vision - for brighter eyes.
my mom cares much about appearance, but too much?
when i went back to my skin doctor a couple weeks back,
my purpose there was to get whitening cream for the scars i had when my legs weren't well.
my mom then started asking for creams for tiny scars on my hands.
the doctor said, "don't ask for so much
lah, you want your daughter to join ms singapore pagent
huh?!" (he laughs)
after we left the doc's, i said to my mom,
"I'm not barbie doll okay, my skin can't be that glossy like 'em."
she didn't say much afterwards.
but still, every morning she monitors my face.
i get used to her stares.
when she meets my friends, she'll want to recommend our doctor to 'em.
(if their skin ain't very nice)
hmmm...
oh well, quite a funny mom i must say.
well, it's really tough being a mom like her.
let's hear about your moms soon. smiles.
mm.. i went for a swim after the rain stopped.
brr.. was it cold..
initially we had a couple ideas for shopping with dearie today.
just the rain killed that idea.
oh well, there's always next week!
i hear JC friends wanting my life so much.
they feel stuck at school everyday while i'm still enjoying myself.
maybe i won't get into university as soon as 'em,
but i feel fortunate to be able to do what i want in life.
at least i know that my scores would only get me into the worst JC,
and i'll still be back to poly life after year one at JC.
everyone's life is different.
i like mine alot & i want you to like yours too.
i do the things i want to.
even a simple diy manicure makes me smile at a lil' accomplishment.
the tiny things in life create a huge snowball
to either crush you till death, or to melt your heart to love.
end for now. toodles.
i'll always be...
close to you.
