2nd Week of May ...........

Dear ma,

HAPPY MOTHER'S DAY!!

This 'project' has been going on for a while, gathering and scanning photos, getting the wishes/messages from those down under. Since most of us not around, this is what we wanna say to you: (all these messages are unedited, truly original!)

From Eldos,

"Like both of you (pa n ma) said before: even small little gestures that i made, you can tell what am I thinking oledi. Even though I have been out to study for more than 8 years, all these while, I know there are always someone who always worry about us and continously praying for us. Just last month, when I was sick (you knew it thru my blog), immediately you asked me to call back to listen to my voice, to check whether i'm alright. Wan Jin poked fun, saying that, no matter how old I am, in you and pa's eye, I am always your little child. And i totally agree with that. Thank you for everything, even though sometime I might not give the right respond (ignorant, raise my voice). I love you both, Ma n Pa!"

From Fabian,

" As far as I can remember, mum is the one who over the years had tirelessly been putting food on the table, cleaning up the house, keeping things in proper order and washing up after us. She has sacrificed tremendously as she would have as our mum. Now that most of us are out in other parts of the world, mum's love proved to be more precious than ever as I always remember how tiring it is to organise my own life. Thank you ma and happy mother's day. You're still the best mum we can ever have. Praise God."

From Nicholas,

"Ma HOw r u going? Haven't heard from you since the late April. And now it's the special time of the yr again... to remember the one (or two) who's been there all along since the day we're born (technically it's since the day two cells joined to become one), to remind ourselves of the one who's never fail to love and persevere, to allow opportunity me to express how much i appreciate all your effort, cherish the time spent together, all your unfailing undying passion to raise us up to be who we are today. All these... i speak from my heart...to you mum (+and not forgetting dad). Happy MOther's day! Love you lots.

**I'm fine here.Eating well, drinking lots, trying to sleep lots, eating fruits and vege.Thanx for all your concern! HUGSSS"
