Touching Story About A Mum

My mom only had one eye. I hated her... she was such an embarrassment.She cooked for students & teachers to support the family.

There was this one day during elementary school where my mom came to say hello to me.
I was so embarrassed.How could she do this to me?
I ignored her, threw her a hateful look and ran out. The next day at school one of my classmates said, 'EEEE, your mom only has one eye!'
I wanted to bury myself. I also wanted my mom to just disappear. I confronted her that day and said, ' If you're only goanna make me a laughing stock, why don't you just die?'
My mom did not respond...

I didn't even stop to think for a second about what I had said, because I was full of anger.I was oblivious to her feelings. I walked out of that house, and have nothing to do with her. So I studied real hard, got a chance to go abroad to study. Then, I got married. I bought a house of my own. I had kids of my own. I was happy with my life, my kids and the comforts, Then one day, my mother came to visit me. She hadn't seen me in years and she didn't even meet her grandchildren.


When she stood by the door, my children laughed at her, and I yelled at her for coming over uninvited. I screamed at her, 'How dare you come to my house and scare my children!'GET OUT OF HERE! NOW!!!'

And to this, my mother quietly answered, 'Oh, I'm so sorry. I may have gotten the wrong address,' and she disappeared out of sight. One day, a letter regarding a school reunion came to my house. So I lied to my wife that I was going on a business trip. After the reunion, I went to the old shack just out of curiosity.

My neighbors said that she died. I did not shed a single tear. They handed me a letter that she had wanted me to have.

'My dearest son,I think of you all the time. I'm sorry that I came to your house and scared your children. I was so glad when I heard you were coming for the reunion. But I may not be able to even get out of bed to see you. I'm sorry that I was a constant embarrassment to you when you were growing up. You see........when you were very little, you got into an accident, and lost your eye.
As a mother, I couldn't stand watching you having to grow up with one eye. So I gave you mine. I was so proud of my son who was seeing a whole new world for me, in my place, with that eye.

With all my love to you,
Your mother.

Sigh

I've just accidentally deleted the posts. Nah, not in the right mood to re-type the Bangkok trip. Will do so as soon as i get my camera & photos back. Poeple having them, *ahem* u know wat to do.

Jasmine msn me today and said: My maid ran away!

Had been listening to stories about maid and i was indeed surprised how these people can do such a thing. Their job is to come, assist and lighten her/his employers' burden. Instead of that see what they have done. Sigh...

Also, read a friends' blog on having tough life. Hello, who is not? =) At this age of striving to excel, we work like dogs and cows... As far as I know, we determine wat we want to be. Not the uncle next door, not your boss, not the superstitious fortune teller. One word for you if you are reading - Be Confident!

ok, let's see the picture of the day! =D *preeeettttyyyy*

Rejoice, tmrw is Thursday! Aren't you happy??? =)

God Bless.

Our new toy.... =)

The Mayonnaise Jar and 2 Cups of Coffee
When things in your life seem almost too much to handle, when 24 hours in a day are not enough, remember the mayonnaise jar and the 2 cups of coffee.

A professor stood before his philosophy class and had some items in front of him. When the class began, he wordlessly picked up a very large and empty mayonnaise jar and proceeded to fill it with golf balls. He then asked the students if the jar was full. They agreed that it was.

The professor then picked up a box of pebbles and poured them into the jar. He shook the jar lightly. The pebbles rolled into the open areas between the golf balls. He then asked the students again if the jar was full. They agreed it was.

The professor next picked up a box of sand and poured it into the jar. Of course, the sand filled up everything else. He asked once more if the jar was full. The students responded with an unanimous 'yes.'

The professor then produced two cups of coffee from under the table and poured the entire contents into the jar effectively filling the empty space between the sand. The students laughed.

'Now,' said the professor as the laughter subsided, 'I want you to recognize that this jar represents your life. The golf balls are the important things---God, your family, your children, your health, your friends and your favorite passions---and if everything else was lost and only they remained, your life would still be full.

The pebbles are the other things that matter like your job, your house and your car.

The sand is everything else---the small stuff. 'If you put the sand into the jar first,' he continued, 'there is no room for the pebbles or the golf balls. The same goes for life. If you spend all your time and energy on the small stuff you will never have room for the things that are important to you.

'Pay attention to the things that are critical to your happiness. Play with your children. Spend time with your parents. Visit with grandparents. Take time to get medical checkups. Take your spouse out to dinner. Play another 18. There will always be time to clean the house and fix the disposal. Take care of the golf balls first---the things that really matter. Set your priorities. The rest is just sand.'

It just goes to show you that no matter how full your life may seem, there is still room for a couple to cups of coffee with a friend. =)

Isnt this sweet? I think so. =)
Tmrw's public holiday and its the RIGHT time! Happy holiday and catching up!

Its my 3rd time saying goodbye. Been such a great year with great people. But its time to move on. I'm not sure if this is a right. It was really a very very tough decision. I spend most of the time praying and seeking for clear directions. But why do I not feel peace & joy at this point. Dad said: Well, just try out. If it fits, then continue. Not that i'll be there forever. Yea, sounds true. But i'm still uneasy. Why? Sigh....

Back to my books........

The train has started moving. It is packed with people of all ages,
mostly with the working men and women and young college guys and gals.
Near the window, seated an old man with his 30 year old son. As the train
moves by, the son is overwhelmed with joy as he was thrilled with the
scenery outside..

'See dad, the scenery of green trees moving away is very beautiful'

This behavior from a thirty year old son made the other people feel
strange about him. Every one started murmuring something or other about
this son. 'This guy seems to be a krack..' newly married Anup whispered
to his wife.

Suddenly it started raining... Rain drops fell on the travelers
through the opened window. The Thirty year old son, filled with joy '
see dad, how beautiful the rain is ..'

Anup's wife got irritated with the rain drops spoiling her new
suit.

Anup, 'can't you see its raining, you old man, if your son is not
feeling well get him soon to a mental asylum...and do not disturb public
henceforth'
The old man hesitated first and then in a low tone replied ' we are on
the way back from hospital, my son got discharged today morning , he was
a blind by birth, last week only he got his vision, these rain and
nature are new to his eyes.. Please forgive us for the inconvenience
caused...'


The things we see may be right from our perspective until we know the
truth. But when we know the truth our reaction to that will hurt even
us. So try to understand the problem better before taking a harsh
action.
