goodbye to our beloved mum (14.5.11, 07:31).....

i remember how super talented she was: she was a great cook -she cooked all the food all by herself for her nasi padang stall her whole adult life & also cooked amazing food for the family (she made the most wicked Assam Pedas!!!!) that was how she supported her children all by herself.....she made crafts like flowers......yummy desserts...(i feel blessed to have a smidgen of her talent). she always had an easy friendly smile for everyone. she never went to school but she was always clever in her own way-she had a good business mind-good with numbers!!. good with the chinese dialects also-she picked them up fast!! she never gave up supporting us even when the going got tough. it must have been an unbelievable weight on her shoulders for her, a super huge burden but she's not one to complain but instead to WORK ON IT & get on with it, to MAKE IT WORK. i really admire her humility, perseverance & strength. she's a SUPERWOMAN WITH A BIG HEART in my eyes. Goodbye mom, rest well. you are amazingly loved & appreciated & we'll miss your sweet sincere smiles & warmth.....ILYSM :_(
