A small note for My Mom
Mom, I’ve been thinking about you today.
You are the person who teaches me all things I need to know in life. But yet you never play such a leading role, or making yourself a role model. You make me free to be me, in all the things I choose to do. And you do it with your love, patience… And you’ve sacrifice a lot for me. Thank you, Mom.
Yeah… you have such a strong personality, but yet full of love. You know what you aiming for; have great perseverance in trying to achieve something, highly motivated, a hard worker… Oh, I make it sounds like I’m writing an application letter, eh? Hihi…
Ah, I always admire how you are really good in Math. Oh I can never beat you in that, hehe… Remember when we used to do my home works together? You are really a great teacher – you show me how, but you let me do it, and make me
believe that I can do it. One day when I was still in the primary school, completely forgot that I have an assignment n just realize it by the time I woke up in the morning. I was giving up, afraid. But you were there, telling me that I can do it. And I can! Yeah, time and time again, I see how you always believe in me, supporting me in anything I do.
You taught me how to swim. You taught me how to sew. I can never do that, or I keep on forgetting how to do that… but you’re ok with that. You never make it 
become like a ‘basic skill’ that a woman should know. You are a cool mom. Definitely, you are cool! You can chat in yahoo messenger with me, oh you make my friends envy me, haha…
Remember how we used go shopping together after church? Ah, we’re actually a good team in reminding each other’s shopping spree. Every time I’m in the shopping craziness, you’re not in the mood. Or when you’re in the mood of shopping, I’m not. Good combination, aren’t we? hehe…
You are also my great counselor. I can consult anything with you, from choosing jobs to choosing men, haha… I’m so glad that I can share everything… and I like the way you used to tease me… including that “I’m so young and you’re so old” thing, hahaha…. Oh you are just like a friend.
Mom, I have so many other things that I like about you – it’s just impossible to describe most of my 23 years being together with you in a short note like this. Besides, I have to prepare my presentation for tomorrow, hehe… I know that you’ll understand. You always understand. 
I love you, Mom. You mean so much for me.
Today, people are celebrating International Women’s Day.
I celebrate you.
