A Life Full of Scrap

Mother's day is just around the corner. I haven't gone back home since Chinese New Year. Funny how I'm starting to miss home. Since I've been with my darling, I've been following  him back to Melacca. Well, it's going to be the same this weekend. Traveling back to Penang is definitely very tiring. You might say take AA or Fire Fly. I know but it's not very convenient either since we need to go to KL sentral take bus to LCCT or drive to Subang airport and leave our car there for a day or two. Plus I will need to get my parents to pick us up etc etc... what a hassle.

Saw someone posted a video on a song called First of May. It's really very soothing and nice. For some reason it reminds me of the childhood time I used to have back then when I was still running around with that short pants and t-shirt without any worries.I remembered how we used to play together with the neighbor's kids. Gosh... I still remember their faces and names. Those were the happy memories I had back in Sp. Both my parents was still a teacher. My mum was still teaching back then and yes she was like a "harimau betina" hahaha... all my friends  were scared of her. Especially, those that learned piano lesson from her. I always got beaten by her back then with a big "rotan" for not scoring in exams. If my marks are lower than 90... I can get ready to eat the "char koay teow" hahaha... I used to hate my mum back then for being so strict and stern at me. I hate it when she used her glaring eyes and stared at me whenever my sista and I don't behave in shopping malls.

Now as I grow older I realize that being one's parent isn't easy. If you don't teach your kid and your kid turn out to be a spoiled brat, people will say "bo ka si" (in Hokkien), "mou ka kau" (in Cantonese), "kurang ajar" (in Malay). If you are being too strict at your kids, they might turn out rebellious against you. At times, I think parents also wish that we could cut them some slack. After all, they have given life to us and all they ask for was us being good and always wish we get the best of everything in life.

I regretted how I've treated my parents back then. I remembered how I ran away form home when my parents against me with my ex. I remembered how I've stood up and shout back at them. Now I've realize how wrong but parents being parents they will forgive us no matter what we do. Even though my parents doesn't know that I own a blog but I'm still going to say this.
