Time with Mum

My mum has been consulting me what kind of hairstyle she should cut for my wedding so today I treated my mum to the Tom Yam Chicken Ban Mian at Amara, followed by a haircut at HairGraphic near my office. The bill isn't cheap cos she permed her hair. But I guess everything is worth it cos she likes the Ban Mian and new haircut very much. This is the first time that she goes for a better hair salon like this since most of the time she cuts her hair at neighbouring shops to save $. 伟大的妈妈
I really enjoy times like this when I get to spend personal time with my mum.. Mum & Daughter Bonding. So seldom hence very precious. The last time I brought her out was last year! oh my gosh - for fish therapy, massage and a nice Jap meal.

The thought that I'll not be staying with my family soon caused me to treasure my times with them as much as possible. My siblings are very happy about the fact that I'm moving out cos less one person to squeeze with them in the house. Urgh So 沒良心! So for the past few months, I tried spending more time with my mum every now & then like accompanying her to the market, eat breakfast with her, learn cooking from her, chit chatting etc... things that I may not have the luxury of doing so often next time. Or rather things that I seldom do with her since we are so busy with our lives...

My mum said one thing that makes me feels that she's very 伟大 is that:
When you marry with Daniel, you must not make your Mum-in-law feel that she lost a son, but make her feel that she has gained another daughter.
Wow! What a word of wisdom and so self-less!

I guess we must constantly make consciencious effort to spend time with our parents so that they will feel assured that they are well-loved and that we still remember them despite our busy-ness.
