Happy Mother’s Day
Happy Mother’s Day!
Let’s start off this post with a story entitled ‘When God Made Moms‘
When the good Lord was creating mothers, he was into his sixth day of overtime, when the angel appeared and said, "You’re doing alot of fiddling around on this one."
And the Lord said, "Have you read the spec on this one? She has to be completely washable, but not plastic; have 180 moveable parts, all replaceable; run on black coffee and leftovers; have a lap that disappears when she stands up; a kiss that can cure anything from a broken leg to a disappointed love affair; and six pair of hands."
The angel shook her head slowly and said, "Six pairs of hands … no way."
"It’s not the hands that are causing me problems," said the Lord. "It’s the three pairs of eyes that mothers have to have."
"That’s on the standard model?" asked the angel. The Lord nodded. "One pair that sees through closed doors when she asks, "What are you kids doing in there?" when she already knows. Another here, in the back of her head that sees what she shouldn’t, but what she has to know, and of course the ones here in front that can look at a child when he goofs up and says, "I understand and I love you," without so much as uttering a word."
"Lord," said the angel, touching his sleeve gently, "Rest for now. Tomorrow is another day."
"I can’t," said the Lord. "I’m so close to creating something close to myself. Already I have one who heals herself when she is sick, can feed a family of six on one pound of hamburger and can get a nine year old to stand under a shower."
The angel circled the model of the mother very slowly. "She’s too soft," she sighed. "But tough!" said the Lord excitedly. "You cannot imagine what the mother can do or endure."
"Can she think?"
"Not only think, but she can reason and compromise," said the Creator.
Finally the angel bent over and ran her finger across the cheek. "There’s a leak," she pronounced. "I told you, you were trying to put too much into this model."
"It’s not a leak," said the Lord. "It’s a tear."
"What’s it for?"
"It’s for joy, sadness, disappointment, pain, loneliness and pride."
"You’re a genius," said the angel.
The Lord looked somber, "I didn’t put it there."

Now that you know how moms are made, you should love her for being so motherly.
My family (father’s side) celebrated mother’s day today here, at my house. Everyone arrived around 12.30pm, but one arrived late but shouldnt be blamed as today’s her day. There’s a total of 1 grandmother, 6 mothers and 1 soon-to-be mother. So how many mothers came in total? Ans = 6 ..sorry for that, sentence just reminds me of a riddle i read long time ago.
Mmm lots of yummy food were prepared: sate, ketupat, curry chicken, fried prawns, steam prawns, steam fish, sweet and sour fish, yao cai ya (medicated duck?), rice, tanghun… cant remember the others, only remember what i ate xD
Each mom recieved a rose too, sweet and cool eh. cost around $2.50 per rose from supasave gdg i think. After lunch, played mahjong, then ate dinner here too. More new food, but lazy to name.
Oo and a cousin of mine asked me what FAMILY stands for..
FAMILY - Father and Mother I Love You
Ah, how could I have forgotten that. Actually it should be FAMILY - Father and Mother I Love You, since today is mother’s day.
Guess that sums up my day.
Ending this with a poem,
A MOTHER’S LOVE
A Mother’s love is something
that no on can explain,
It is made of deep devotion
and of sacrifice and pain,
It is endless and unselfish
and enduring come what may
For nothing can destroy it
or take that love away . . .
It is patient and forgiving
when all others are forsaking,
And it never fails or falters
even though the heart is breaking . . .
It believes beyond believing
when the world around condemns,
And it glows with all the beauty
of the rarest, brightest gems . . .
It is far beyond defining,
it defies all explanation,
And it still remains a secret
like the mysteries of creation . . .
A many splendoured miracle
man cannot understand
And another wondrous evidence
of God’s tender guiding hand.
