The Most Important Woman in My Life

The most important woman in my life

16th of November, it’s my beloved Mother’s Birthday. And finally, I willing to take a leave off from my busy schedule and went to KL and celebrate her birthday together with my sister.

My mom is the toughest woman that I ever meet. She stopped her study after standard 6. She is not well-educated; she couldn't speak fluent English or Malay. Sometimes, her ignorance even mess up her life. But she never ever throws in the towel towards her life.

My mom gave birth to me when she was 19 years old. She thought she had found her happiness life with my father but unfortunately it was an unsuccessful marriage. Just like the others, she had been searching for love for few times but unluckily, she failed and now… she no longer believes in love towards men.

Words that my mom tattoo herself on her fingers: "HATE" and "ENDURE"

She always tells me and my sister stories about our birth. She told me how important we are to her. We are the foundation of her joy, strength, peace and love. My sister and I had become the most important people and the motivation of life to her. And we both also know that, she is the most important person in our heart, too.

Me, my mom and my sis

I can’t really express how I feel about her in just words. My mom is not my whole life, but she is a really big part of it. My whole world does not only revolve around her, but she is the most influential person who inspires me. My mom is not just another woman. She is extraordinary.

She always tried her best to give us a better life. Her actions have definitely made my life more positive and productive. Had it not been for my mom, I would not be in college making something out of my life. I still remember that, from the day I decided to study fashion design after SPM. None of family members or relatives supported me except my mom. She worked hard to gain the college fees for me. When I finally earned my diploma, it would be because of my mom.

When I need a sewing machine, she bought me one.

When I get a driving license, she bought me a motor and car.

When she knows I’m tired of my work, she makes me lovely soup.

When she knows I start feeling not well, she makes me herbal tea.

Whatever I need, she always gives me.

Without her, I don’t have a chance to learn piano and organ.

Without her, I can’t be a fashion designer.

Without her, I wouldn’t be who am I nowadays…

She might not be the smartest woman.

But at least she taught me the meaning of love…...

I know I'm the one my mom worries the most compare to my younger sister due to I'm still naive most of the time. Hardly ask her not to worry so much because sometimes I even agree with what people said about me that I have a bad arrangement of my life... I never ever make a promise to her that how am I going to improve myself and not to make her worry. Because I don't want to brake a promise. But I will show her. One day, she will realize, her daughter finally has grown up and learn to protect herself... and no longer make her feel worry...

My 5 years old student told me this when I were teaching her music, "I practice my song automatically everyday, I finish my homework before I go to sleep because I don't want my mom worry about me, and I want to make my mom feels proud of me."

While a 5 years old kid knew how to say this out... and I think I'm old enough to show my mom, SHE DOESN'T NEED TO WORRY ABOUT ME ANYMORE... AND I WILL MAKE HER FEEL PROUD OF ME =)

  2. Liz,i read an inspirin n touchin true story here. Remember first time meetin your mother when i was still a 'Ma-Bin-Mui' in 霹靂華小~ well,she is now havin e gorgeous short hair like yours huh? Great looking!

    Know what,Liz,
    Love is an emotion we share in so many different relationships. The love of a spouse, love between siblings, parents and children, the destitute and society are all unique. But, even as we view each of these relationships differently, the common bindin force remains 'selflessness'.

    Remember the Bible says,
    Proverbs 10:12: 'Hatred stirs up dissension, but love covers over all wrongs.'

    Liz,May God bless you and every member of your beloved family abundantly all the time~

    -hug-
