Mother's day coming in 3 days, well yeah we dont have to wait until that day to remember of what our mum has done to us, right?

Had a nice conversation with mama (as always), and mama was telling me about her past, her childhood time till she's married.

Mama told me how hard life was during that time. Lived in a small house, sleep on a mat and so on (liat saja drama orang2 susah catu la tu). Despite all that, they lived happily, my mum still could achieved a good result in her school (walaupun terpaksa jalan kaki to school all the time). Mama dengan bangga jua telling me ia khatam more than once, when she was 12 (i managed to the same jua ma indakah?)

Then she got an offer to continue her study in Johor (Sekolah Tengku Ampuan Mariam if im not mistaken). She studied there until her 'O' level. Mama was very active at that time, where she also got this nickname "Zainab pantun" cause mama handal bepantun (whole Johor knows her). There was this one time, when Mama was already prepared for her final speech competition (whole Malaysia), she got disqualified just because she's not a Malaysian (Inda apa ma, durang takut kalah tu).

When she finished her 'O' Level, Mama went back to Brunei. She got another offer to continue her study back in Johor or Singapore, which she rejected cause her late father (my mulah nini) was sick at that time. So mama went for "maktab perguruan" jadi cikgu. She took private 'A' level exam by her own money (mama jadi cikgu dah). When she got her 'A' level, she continue to study for degree. Mama was already married and had a family by that time (i was born already jua :p). She graduated in the year of 1991 (i forgot the date hehe), and then she focus on her career as a teacher. In 1995, with a strong will to study, she decided to take Master degree. Although there were lots of challenges, she completed it in 1997.

Thats how i got the inspiration, even when she had to look after us, the family, she still managed to complete her master degree. So why not me, who has more freedom and time to achieved more than what she had (i will ma,i will). This is not only to be better than my mum, it is also to clean up my family's name. I really admire mama, with all the troubles she faced, she's still strong enough to overcome it. For the sake of her sons, my mum sacrifice almost everything, to fulfills our needs and our happiness. There's nothing in this world, that can repay for what she had done. I saw her crying in her room, and whenever i asked her what's wrong, she would only answer nothing is wrong.

Happy Mother's Day ma, i love you and ill do ANYTHING, to make you happy, to see your smile :) and yeah i am looking forward for our family lunch this Sunday (as planned). sheessh again, tears dropping out hehe (malu eh) who cares, at least i have some sort of sensitivity inside me.

Oh, here's a photo of my beloved mama

p/s: To my brothers, always remember all the sacrifices and tears of our Mama, remember all the things you guys have done to her (good and bad), stop making her worry, stop making her cry (just because of our foolishness), stop being rude to her.
