My Mom Only Had One Eye

My mom only had one eye. I hated her… She was such an embarrassment. She cooked for students and teachers to support the family.

There was this one day during elementary school where my mom came to say hello to me. I was so embarrassed.

How could she do this to me? I ignored her, threw her a hateful look and ran out. The next day at school one of my classmates said, ‘EEEE, your mom only has one eye!’

I wanted to bury myself. I also wanted my mom to just disappear. I confronted her that day and said, ‘ If you’re only gonna make me a laughing stock, why don’t you just die?’

My mom did not respond… I didn’t even stop to think for a second about what I had said, because I was full of anger. I was oblivious to her feelings.

I wanted out of that house, and have nothing to do with her. So I studied real hard, got a chance to go abroad to study.

Then, I got married. I bought a house of my own. I had kids of my own. I was happy with my life, my kids and the comforts. Then one day, my Mother came to visit me. She hadn’t seen me in years and she didn’t even meet her grandchildren.

When she stood by the door, my children laughed at her, and I yelled at her for coming over uninvited. I screamed at her, ‘How dare you come to my house and scare my children!’ GET OUT OF HERE! NOW!!!’

And to this, my mother quietly answered, ‘Oh, I’m so sorry. I may have gotten the wrong address,’ and she disappeared out of sight.

One day, a letter regarding a school reunion came to my house. So I lied to my wife that I was going on a business trip. After the reunion, I went to the old shack just out of curiosity.

My neighbors said that she died. I did not shed a single tear. They handed me a letter that she had wanted me to have.

‘My dearest son,

I think of you all the time. I’m sorry that I came to your house and scared your children.

I was so glad when I heard you were coming for the reunion. But I may not be able to even get out of bed to see you. I’m sorry that I was a constant embarrassment to you when you were growing up.

You see……..when you were very little, you got into an accident, and lost your eye. As a mother, I couldn’t stand watching you having to grow up with one eye. So I gave you mine.

I was so proud of my son who was seeing a whole new world for me, in my place, with that eye.

With all my love to you,

Your mother.’

Pamper Child!

Is been so long since I updated my blog, it was because I was enjoying my holiday. Indeed it was a long holiday after I skip a sch right after National Day that is fall on Friday. On wednesday, before the public holiday, after my Final Year Project I went to pamper myself at TCC at Bugis after applying Diner Membership card. It was Apple Salmon Salad. The best thing is I am having diarrhea and yet tried raw salmon.

Well sometime when you pamper yourself in the way, I guess you have to pay the price.

Finally a class outing in my course (DAE, Diploma In Aerospace Engineering) and they were in Arab street, Sultan Mosque to break their fast. Is been long since I visit there and the place was kind of different during Ramandan. Well I wanted to shopping but is ok just accompany my classmate. After the head down to Orchard to shopping for jeans.

But I was annoyed as I left my iPhone charger in the lab and forgot to ask one of my classmate. Also I remembered that I need to buy my Samsung Charger which is ridiculous of the price of $50.00 Oh well is I either have to research more and not begin lazy to find a cheap pirate charger or begin lazy paying the price more.

I salute my friend, Spidy as she attend the Awareness of Children cancer by scracifice their hair. Yup, that is going bald. Not many people dare to do that but how far you willing to go to be out of your comfort zone to show the community in community service or awareness event to do these action?

For me I simply respect these type of people.

I have pretty shop kind of alot but one of these day I would post on all the top and bottom fashion appeal which I bought. And is all on Sale, Sale, Sale!

 It was a plesent friday afternoon as in my entire school life, I have not went shopping during the lunch break. Therefore I decided to go with my GST credit. By 1230, the term of second meeting was over. It was a lunch break and I decide to only pamper myself to Civic Center, Lerk Thai Restaurant and have a soft crab Phad Tai and a nice ice coffee. Is been long I had lunch alone or just be alone. Is just a date, a date of myself on TGIF. I pass by G2000 and saw a blazer on sale. Irresistible, I got to get one. From $329 dollar on the way down to $79. Love the cut, the colour and the style of the blazer. Can use it for clubbing.

We are at Maxwell and I just reach home from shopping. I spend at Uniclo $56 with one top and bermudas, also G2000, $79 a blazer and Cotton On $20 a slim muscle fit top of 10 per each. Is all on sale and I love to shop smart. Well shopping is all about patient and the challenge is can you get a high quality and yet unique design in low cost.

Stroke Of Midnight

We are there to surprise my friend birthday Miss Sha Sha. We took sometime to plan it and surprise her when she was working. I was there to meet one of my new friend and I always call her Kakak. She is nice to me but I can't upload photo because this is a secret world. A world where no one know them as I respect their discreet. If anyone met them, they would be lucky and a whole new perspective point of view in your life...

Keep Your Dream

I have a friend named Monty Roberts who owns a horse ranch in San Ysidro. He has let me use his house to put on fund-raising events to raise money for youth at risk programs.

The last time I was there he introduced me by saying, “I want to tell you why I let Jack use my horse. It all goes back to a story about a young man who was the son of an itinerant horse trainer who would go from stable to stable, race track to race track, farm to farm and ranch to ranch, training horses. As a result, the boy’s high school career was continually interrupted. When he was a senior, he was asked to write a paper about what he wanted to be and do when he grew up.

“That night he wrote a seven-page paper describing his goal of someday owning a horse ranch. He wrote about his dream in great detail and he even drew a diagram of a 200-acre ranch, showing the location of all the buildings, the stables and the track. Then he drew a detailed floor plan for a 4,000-square-foot house that would sit on a 200-acre dream ranch.

“He put a great deal of his heart into the project and the next day he handed it in to his teacher. Two days later he received his paper back. On the front page was a large red F with a note that read, `See me after class.’

“The boy with the dream went to see the teacher after class and asked, `Why did I receive an F?’

“The teacher said, `This is an unrealistic dream for a young boy like you. You have no money. You come from an itinerant family. You have no resources. Owning a horse ranch requires a lot of money. You have to buy the land. You have to pay for the original breeding stock and later you’ll have to pay large stud fees. There’s no way you could ever do it.’ Then the teacher added, `If you will rewrite this paper with a more realistic goal, I will reconsider your grade.’

“The boy went home and thought about it long and hard. He asked his father what he should do. His father said, `Look, son, you have to make up your own mind on this. However, I think it is a very important decision for you.’ “Finally, after sitting with it for a week, the boy turned in the same paper, making no changes at all.

He stated, “You can keep the F and I’ll keep my dream.”

Monty then turned to the assembled group and said, “I tell you this story because you are sitting in my 4,000-square-foot house in the middle of my 200-acre horse ranch. I still have that school paper framed over the fireplace.” He added, “The best part of the story is that two summers ago that same schoolteacher brought 30 kids to camp out on my ranch for a week.” When the teacher was leaving, he said, “Look, Monty, I can tell you this now. When I was your teacher, I was something of a dream stealer. During those years I stole a lot of kids’ dreams. Fortunately you had enough gumption not to give up on yours.”

“Don’t let anyone steal your dreams. Follow your heart, no matter what.”
