the family tree! My mom finally revealed some history about her love story.. nothing much, its so unusual to ask so i'll always say some weird question to trick her to speak up.. hahha... Here's a little history about my family:
My grandma married at the age of 14, that time my grandpa was only 21. she gave birth to my mom when she was only 17!!!! my grandma gave birth to 5. I never knew my grandparents on my father's side. all i know is that they're dead even before i was born. My dad is very much an introvert and doesn't like to share his problem or stories.. all i know is that he like to discipline.
Anyway i guess the reason why my dad loves my mom is that she always managed to make him laugh and make him smile. My dad hates to listen to the truth, and my mom loves telling the truth. They argued ALL THE TIME. It even makes me sick some times. My dad thinks that my mon is not as smart as he is and my mom knows that she's much more optimistic and sociable than my dad.
I LOVE MY MOM!!!!!! She's like the no. 1 super mom!!!! Jesus whom had changed me had changed my mom too.. She used to be VERY stern, WORSE than my dad (Yup, i spent my childhood around angry people) but now we just laugh at silly mistakes and share corny jokes.. gossip about my dad and brothers.. share clothes/ shoes.. well we're more like friends now that i've grown up.. but still very much under her control about my whereabouts.. Gee.. very traditional kind of person, like my dad. you got to know that they were born in the 50s, when everything was still sold in cents...
here we go:
My dad born in 1948, my mom 1950. they knew each other (through friends) when my mom was 20, my dad was 22. My mom said she was deceived by his look and it was the beginning of a nightmare... because at that time she never would have realised that after 30 years he would start the habit of collecting rubbish. I was kinda affected too for awhile. untill i made the policy of throwing things thats left untouched for more than two years...
anyway i forgot to ask when they got married but my eldest brother was born in 1977, my second bro in 1979. due to the gov. policy that says "Stop At 2" they really stopped at two.. Annoying!!! i would have came out earlier and have more siblings... then in the late 80s the gov came up with another policy "3 is just fine" So my parents had the last attempt and POP! i was born in 1987!! Hurray! at that time my mom is already 37 and she told me that she struggled alot while giving birth to me, due to her age and stuff.. her bones would ache, and probably result to her knee problem now.. come to think about it, i guessed she really went through alot making the person who i am today.. and i thank God for giving me a mom like her. Wouldn't be the same if its someone else.
my mom was saying if my brothers and i followed the traditions, she would have been a granny of 5 and each of them would help her to massage here and there and she'll teach ABC and sing 10 little indians...
as for me, i just wish to have at least a twin! hahah... should i start praying about it now? Don't laugh! Maybe God is telling me some serious stuff... honestly, i've been thinking about motherhood a lot lately... Arh!! And usually kids like to disturb me especially on the train. I just met one and he was playing with my new bag (someone asked if its branded, HOhoho!! nope) and he waved goodbye and said "Bye Bye Jie Jie".. Hahah.. SO CUTE! SO SWEET!!! he was like a baby~~ Totally made my day!!
