Mother’s Love Unmatchable, Matchless, Incomparable. Whatever you call the term is, Mother’s love is just eminent beyond.

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.

So I confronted her that day and said,
“If you’re only gonna make me a laughing stock, why don’t you just die?!!!”
My mom did not respond …
I didnt 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 wanted out of that house, and have nothing to do with her.
So I studied real hard, got a chance to go to Singapore 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 in Singapore.
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.

I think of you all the time. I’m sorry that I came to Singapore 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 my love to you,
Your mother.

I am not sure I have posted this before and not sure you have read it somewhere. However, I am really sure I do not mind reading this again and again – to remind me of my Mother’s love to me and to the rest of us her children.

I love you Mom!

Sigh. No time to blog, what more to blog hop. This is surely going to be a short one and actually for yesterday’s story.

Wife talked about it and I think I am going to too here. Well, the grass getting longer every day and the guy I asked to cut by today (yesterday 27th Feb) did not come as promised in the morning. In fact the whole day that guy did not come. I wait, wait and wait. Picked up Josh and attended whatever my son’s need, still the grass cutter did not come.

Our house has some of you know, still with the old style fence and like everybody in the world can see from the bottom of the ground right up to wherever you wanna see in the sky, it is all open to public viewing – which I hate. I wish I have someone can just do the fence for me. I do not mind at this moment if I cannot get the concrete fence, the pvc fence installation will do just nice – just to cover from public eyes. Yeah, so they do not able to see my long grass.

I wanna do myself, but been so busy with house management which is more an emergency compares to the grass getting taller every day. Not to mention, work in the office. Sigh. If I can cut the grass just using my mouse like right now, I am pretty sure done by this 1pm. How I wish things that simple.

Tuesday will be my off day. If that guy still not come early, I think I have to cut it by myself. It is going to be a long day lah that day.

Yep, it is that time again. Yesterday was the Ash Wednesday marks the beginning of six and a half weeks of repentance, fasting and abstinence in preparation for the most important Christian festival of Easter.

We were at the Sacred Heart Church last night at around 7:15pm direct after my wife took me from the office and already like five thousand people there. Yep, seriously around that figure. The mass started just after 7:30pm and ended around 9pm for us. Yep, it was the long queue for the ‘marking on the forehead‘ session that lasted us that late. However, we were not complaining. It is expected. After all, this is the mark symbolizing our personal Lent season where physical and spiritual are tested to prepare us for the Easter Sunday. Every Christian Catholics wants the marking.

So friends and relatives, reminds ourselves that we are humans that sin and only by fasting, abstinence and do repentance that we are that bit closer to being accepted by GOD our creator. We have 40 days to prove ourselves that we can do it. All the best. May GOD bless you all, Amen.

*** for me, this also marks the beginning of slow blog posting here and more family time.

This is from a very recent visit. I just have to take this picture, well wife took it while I was standing there, of course

Papa Joneh found Papa John’s Pizza!

I mean recent because that is the last time I go traveling over the sea, by plane. I wonder when will be my next time. It has been too long staying at the same place. Sigh. Anyway, can anyone tell me where is this place? Is it open already? For info, I had no idea where I took this. I am not from this area. I was just a traveler with backpack and a compas. Hahaha. Can any of you take a picture there so I know how it’s been doing right now. Just curious. Thanks. Read the rest of this entry »

Sorry no story or anything today. Just want to refresh this blog with new “nothing” today. Hope everything will be back ‘Normal’ tomorrow. LOL.

Wait, if I say I have tickets for two to Argentina for three days using the Argentina travel agency, will you believe me?

Next thing, if you say you believe me and that you want, will you believe me if I say it is already expired because the tickets only applicable during the Valentine’s Day?

One more thing, if you still believe me than I have to say Thank you for being my friend. You are just one more step to be listed in my “Friends Forever” list with a chance to win the main jackpot, USD100 paypal money to be paid on an unscheduled date and venue.

If you still here, this is just a blank post on Monday. No need to be serious, right. Believe me when I say, I do not use the backspace key to type this. Can you tell I am really busy now?
