the entry : a tribute to my mom

anyways, my mom just turned 56, and whilst i am happy for her, the feeling is pretty much ambivalent. i used to recall my mom as the one that every women hated yet envied; she was the ravishing, foxy cleopatra who looked extremely young for her age and had (still has) a killer fashion sense. she was basically the poster mom, if there was such a thing.

i respect my mom because she's a tenacious woman, a stalwart you could say in fact. she has weathered all forms of oppressiveness, from the tyrant attitudes of her in-laws, to my father's gallivanting ways in the past. she raised me up with her bare hands and she loved me with all her heart. 

however, time awaits no one. the leaves on the tree wilt; the sun eventually sets. 

now, i could only scarcly detect the sprightly sparkle behind her eyes, or her youthful chortle whenever she laughed heartily. her wizened face and wistful smile unveils the time that has caught up with her. and it somehow makes me reflect. how many more years will i be able to spend time with my mom, my one and only respite in times of trouble?  

when troubles come and my heart burdened be, she'd be there for me, silently waiting. she raised me up to be more than what i can be. and for this, i am thankful. 

to my mom, the one and only person i will never stop loving.

That is so sweet of you.

To treasure and appreciate her, while living life to the fullest in honor of her, that is what we as sons and daughters should do.

You should let her know that you love her as much as she loves you. However, asians seldom show their feelings to parents/family directly. Not to mention guys normally keep thoughts and feelings to themselves. You may be the few exceptions since you're so 感性 in this entry. =p

I think I saw you last Saturday at Cityhall MRT... ^^

Anonymous can only have 2 possible personality splits:

1. Likes you too much and can't have you.. so he turns angry and spiteful and spews these anti gay stuff here

2. A pathetic straight guy who wouldn't spend more time courting girls, but wanna spend time behind a cowardly pseudo ID and hate people.

Other possibilities are endless -

3. a Super ugly freak who can't meet the world and must hide behind a screen.. he prob can come out on Halloween without causing hideous commotions

4. Pathetic str8 guy who is undecided being Bi, Gay or str8 and hates himself enough to try and propagate his hate on others.

5. Erm.. still hideous, unlucky, potbelly, beyond disrepair and love.

In short, Mr. Anonymous.. pls get a life if you think the better form of getting acknowledgement and love is spewing crap. We're not some cyber dolls.. We've got pretty lives and people to hangout - yes pretty str8 and gay friends. Perhaps you need some introduction to get out of this comfort zone.

I think you are pathetic thoroughly and you are probably those manipulative people in the world, lost in the masochination (I coined this) who likes bullying others, stepping on others to make urself feel good. I've seen all these kinda people, addled with the poison of the minds spending miserable time behind IMH and the confines of their social prisons.. and most of all.. they're never beautiful.

I guess life is very embracing, the more you resist something, the more life throws it at you til you learn. Yes, embrace life, or face it the tough way out, and my advice to you is get out, be social, beautiful and get hitched. And U prob need to get laid too..

Anonymous no.1, this time u are Seriously being too much and crossed beyond the line. U are step into others people’s lives.

I don’t think u are happy after you gave your commented because forever u are a loser if you keep doing this.

I am sure u feel lonely, frighten, painful in deep of your heart, helpless and frustrated in the middle of night when being alone.

Somehow, you are psychologically being not healthy. U are the one who know yourself well. Please stop doing something is meaningless. In the end, you only hurt yourself but no1 else.

Life is beautiful. Face yourself and face your life. The sun is going to raise up again after a long silent night. Give yourself another chance and to be a happy man.

~no name~

Wow! The Battle of the Anonymous!

To all the other Anonymous'es and visitors, please don't give anymore comments on this kind of no-life people. The best thing to do is to ignore this kind of attention seeker. Like a lonely brat in a playground screaming profanities on top his voice, if you ignore him long enough, he can only go away or play nice.

(ck) absolutely agreed. many a times, we just seem to take for granted that our parents will be there forever for us. but that's never the case. take charge of life and love them whilst we can.

(763092) my mom reads my blog from time to time, so maybe she might actually know i am telling her that thru this channel. on saturday at cityhall? was i wearing a hoodie?

(anonymous super irritating) please just go get a life or do something more worthwhile. you're really a waste of space on earth and typing these hate comments only goes to show how childish and hateful a person you are. but anyways, thanks too for increasing the number of comments, and as we all know, when there are more readers, there are definitely some haters along for the ride. so thanks for making my blog more popular. >.<

iruffcookiedough said...

(anonymous "with many theories") you basically echoed my thoughts about that little anonymous twat. thanks for posting such a long comment, and i appreciate your support. =]

(rex) it's ok to reveal her age because my mom still looks much younger than her magic number, so i think she's cool with it. in any case, if she's gonna kill me for it, will you carry on my blog for me? hehe

(no name) hey, you're finally back after a while. i am sure even though when you were gone, you must have read the same kind of crappy hateful comments from the same poster, and he's still here even after your long absence. but nevertheless, thanks for speaking up for me. it goes to show that there are righteous ppl in the world afterall. that goes for rex, 763092 and anonymous "with many theories".

(anonymous) thanks! a little emo, but i just needed to voice it out.

(ck) agreed. let's just move on and ignore him. that little brat just wants some silly attention. anyways, i know who he is and i am sure he wants me to post his blog addy probably for exposure of his blog, but i refuse to. just a little shoo in, he has very fair skin, hermaphrodite features and effeminate disposition. but anyhows, just let him carry on with his moronic posts but we will just ignore him.

Rex said...

u will survive from ur mom knife I think. haha~ anyway if i carry on your blog it going to be very jalat man.. hahaha~ i am not so talent as you compare our blog u can see mah. =p

iruffcookiedough said...

Masochination means psychotic fascinations which are blown out of proportions and envelope the person into an induced state of self maniacism (wrong spelling i'm sure).

It can happen to hideous people.. and that's only possible when someone lost a part of themselves to something because essentially it's a mental tradeoff~ and it's perversed

To the anonymous #1 :

Eh get a life lah.... u r one kana sai character who come and read about people's sharing and complain thereafter.
