This Mother's Day: Dedicated to Mummy and Aunty Mimi

Since the day I was born she had been there for me. She helped me grow. She kept me safe. Yet, I had been quite a troublemaker, making her worry and angry. At the end of the day, despite it all she still loves me. That is the role of a mother.

Mummy had been misunderstood by many including her own sister but they don't know her like we do. Mummy is full of surprises despite her stern looks. I did blog about our cute conversation because of Athena. Mummy is also a fortunate woman because she still looks young for her age. The secret is my two sisters and I *winks*

Now, I am far from home, I miss being in constant contact with my family. I miss hearing Mummy grumbling although at times I don't like it. She is my Mum, that is what she is supposed to do when I do something wrong.

I am glad Mummy controls me from going out like a stray cat at night especially. She gives me curfews because she cares and it is not because she doesn't trust me or believe that I can't take care of myself. It is because she doesn't want anything that is possibly bad to happen to me. I am glad she is that way. That is the only way she could keep me safe from the fucked up world outside.

Besides Mummy, the other person who takes care of my sisters and I when Mummy isn't around is my beloved Aunty Mimi. Aunty Mimi the one person I go out often when I am in Kuching. I always have stories to bring home after a day out with her.

I love Aunty Mimi as much as I love Mummy. Aunty Mimi is our mother when Mummy isn't around. So whenever SOME idiot talk bad about Aunty Mimi, my sisters and I will 'pounce' onto the person who talked bad about her. Aunty Mimi is one of those people you will fear but will love. I guess, that is where Mummy got it, from her cousin. Hehe! Many of my schoolmates from St. Mary's who went to St. Thomas Kindergarten or her tuition would remember her as a strict lady.

Anyway, I only wished Mummy and Aunty Mimi since they played a very big role in my life and yes, a brief phone call to Aunty Ah Huang.

I miss being in Kuching. Seriously.

Owh. I forgot to mention, it is Grandpa's birthday today, too :)

More later. I think.

Case Of The Missing Adidas Shoes

Tonight. This made me laugh like crazy.

This is a conversation between my Mum and me tonight.

Mum : Ja! Did you take Athena's Adidas shoes?

Me : (shocked) Adidas shoes? NO. Why?

Mum : We can't find her shoes.

Me : Where did you people last put it?

Mum : In Nuril's room on the table. You sure you didn't take any box?

Me : No. The only box I brought home to PJ was the box with Aunty Mimi's present for me!

Mum : Hmm. Nevermind then. I'll go find of it.

Me : Okay.

*hangs up* A few minutes later, again my Mum called.

Mum : Ja! We found it.

Me : (laughs) WHAT?? WHERE?

Mum : Under Nuril's bed!

Me : HA?? How did it end up under the bed??

Mum : This has to be something between the mother, the aunty and she herself!

Me : Huh! I won't be surprise she herself is the little culprit! Knowing her, she will PLAY with it and then FORGETS where she PUT it.

Mum : Yalah! (laughs) Okay. Just called to tell you that.

Me : Okay. Eh, Mummy! What Adidas shoe did you get for her?

Mum : The Adidas shoes that looked like her Little Bobboy.

Me : Little Bob Dog?

Mum : Ya, that one!

Me : Ooo! CUTE!!

Mum : Ya, it is nice. Okay lah.

Me : Okay. Bye.

Mum : Bye.

*hangs up*

My conclusion? Between the niece and her grandmother... that niece of mine can drive anyone up the wall BUT...

No matter how hard you day was earlier on, when you see that NAUGHTY FACE. That could all make the frustrations and anger go away. Today was a good day for me compared to yesterday or even last week.

Athena:- Goddess of War Strategies and Wisdom.

But Puteri Athena Maimunah is just all war strategies and warfare but not much wisdom. Her wisdom is only in her naughtiness.

Anyways, Athena is very close to my Dad. He is everything to her, vice versa. Why not? With Grandpa around, I can do anything! Athena is naughty that way but her table manners? She is VERY good. She can sit down properly without making much fuss (unless she is sleepy or cranky). She doesn't scream or show tantrum in public. Overall, she is a good girl.

BUT WHEN SHE HAS ICE-CREAM AFTER 8.30. Be prepare to sweat. That little thing won't keep still. She gets hyper. That is why whenever we go out, she is ALWAYS in her stroller. If we let her loose, that will mean running around like chicken with the head cut off!

She is fun that way but I am amazed that she maybe only a year and a half, she behaves BETTER than a 4 year old...

Most of all, I am still amazed at her for what she did when I went to meet them at KLIA when they last came. She was holding hands with my sister and my Dad but when she saw me, she let go of their hands and ran towards me with her arms wide open.

The first thing I said was, "Sayang Athena, sayang Athena" and what did she do? She kissed me on the cheeks!

Athena, to me, is amazing in many ways. Some people might think I am being biased or just exaggerating because she is my niece, I am not. She is just Athena. She NEVER fail to amuse me with the crazy little thing she does. LIKE, when she sees me on my laptop and she will start pointing at the webcam. Yes. She, just like my younger sister, likes to camwhore!

LOL.

I could go on but my brain is lagging as I type this. Haha.

Good night.

My Dad

My Dad can be quite paranoid sometimes. This morning, he called twice but I didn't answer because I was still dead on my bed. When I called back, he said, "Nong, I will have Zaimi pick you up at 3.30 today."

I sat on my bed. Kept quiet for a while and then said, "Okay."

Then it came to my mind that their flight is at around 4 pm. They will only arrive at 6.

Hahah. Then, my Mum calls me up saying, "Zaimi will pick you up at 4."

I was like, "Yes, Mummy."

Then in the afternoon, I called my elder sister. When I told her about the conversation with my parents, SHE LAUGHED and said, "We leave Kuching at 4!"

My parents are, the perfect example of paranoia... How? If they are to catch a flight at 4 pm, the will be at the airport by 2.30 pm. Considering my Dad believes in better be safe than sorry and he is not the type to be at the last minute where time is concerned. When he has all the time in the world, then he goes all random. That is my Dad. Punctual but random all at the same time.

That is why, honestly, my sisters and I tend to enjoy when my Dad is around. We always get random things like, "Come, let's go out." And by the time we are all on the road, he turns around and ask us, "Where are we going again?"

Haha. The other thing about my Dad is when he is pulling our legs he always looks serious and when we don't laugh due to overblurness, he will ask, "Why you people not laughing?" And when he is talking serious he always look like he is joking around and when we laugh he will give us weird looks.

My elder sister always fall victim to this tactic of his.

Looking forward to fetching them all up at the airport later. I think I should go. I need to pack the Duckie's stuff to bring to Mont Kiara. -__-"
