Mothers

The weekend, which I predicted to be awful and full of quarrels, turned out to be peaceful and amiable. It was even enjoyable. Haha :) Coz I realized something about my Cherry Mommy.

She was being really very difficult over the wk, since our return from Melbourne and gave us a lot of 'attitude and face', which def made Dad and my life very miserable :( I was about to become immune and did not want to take notice of her tantrums. On Sat evening, she asked us to go dinner with her at Joo Chiat, which came as a pleasant surprise so Dad and I went along. After that, we went to Da Yi's hse for gathering, and she was quite happy the whole night. Then Da Yi told me, that Mom likes to hear nice things (ok, as if who do not like?!?!) and just be nice to her and she will be double-nice in return.

Earlier on Sat, I was confiding in Jie and she told me that love begets love, and reminded me that "its hard being mothers". She said it out of her observation and mostly her own experience. This statement came as an enlightenment for me and it suddenly dawned on me that if i think from Mom's perspective, I would understand why she is behaving this way, and with her personality, her reaction is that way.

So on Sunday, after discussing with Dad, I went to get the watch (Cherry watch from Swatch), which Mom has been looking at since Xmas. It was an early bday present to her from Dad and I. When we presented to her and told her how much we appreciate and love her, I could see that Mom was touched and happy. Haha~~ love begets love!!

Jie, thanks for much for your advice. If not for your comment, I guess we will still be in 'cold war' and yet not knowing what each other is thinking. Whenever i met difficulties and problems, i will run to you and talk non-stop, thanks for putting up with me and giving me advice :)

The weather is sunny again!!!!! Hahahahahaha :D
