What a Great Mom You Are....




Unlike my common case where i usually find myself chatting away with people of my own clicks, this time i had a chat with an aunty. Yup, i'm suprised myself, and thus also learnt that there is loads of wisdom that u can get from the elderlies...And since this aunty is particularly from Singapore, it also gave me an inside of how different are Singaporean elderlies compared with Malaysians..Malaysian people generally, like to fight for reasons that draws no clear line at all... Where as Singaporeans they like to think in a logical way, and try to find solutions. I think I like it that way better. It avoids all complications and war.

Alright before I become an outcast of my own country let me serve with the script of conversation I had with this aunty....

Me : Aunty where u from???

Aunty : Singapore...

Me : Ohhhhh...I like Singapore, kinda clean country, and would like to explore every bit of it, but
I haven't had the opportunity.

Aunty : Yes yes, Singapore is a beautiful country.. U should come there when u can...

Me : Sure will.. So how u came here...??

Aunty : With my sisters...Nowadays cant go out as I use to,need to look after my grand daughter...

Me : Ohhh..So how come u r here today??/Who is looking after ur grand daughter today...

Aunty : Her mother. Do u know that my son-in-law is an Indian...

Me : Well I am not suprised about it, I have seen many myself when I was at Singapore...

Aunty : Well he's a decent young boy...

Me : So u have no problem with an indian guy as ur son in law???

Aunty : I dont, but my husband had. He was asking my daughter why she wanna date an indian guy??

Me : Lemme guess...Your husband is a Malaysian right???

Aunty : Yeah. How u know???

Me : Pretty obvious from my point of view...

Aunty : Anyway in the beginning, when the father objected, my daughter came to me asking if it is ok she dates and Indian guy?? I told her, why not u try dating some chinese lad, and
see if there could be anyone thats suits u.

Me : Wahhh, aunty, ur a mastermind heh?

Aunty : Nolarrr, just for the sake of the father. To please him... Anyway there was this one time, my daughter dressed up very elegantly. I was in awe to look how beautiful my little girl is. And she told me she going out on a date with a Chinese boy. She looked all so merry and I waved her off. But when she returned, i asked her how the date went...She replied " arrgghhh, lousylarrr".

Me : Hahahahaha...

Aunty : And so she went out with few chinese boys, but none blended with her...And the father still pastered her to get a chinese guy... My daughter came in tears to me. She said she cant leave without him...So i went and told her father, u wanna stay on ur principle, u will loose ur daughter, but if u bless them u will get not only ur daughter but also a son-in-law.U loose, one but if u gain u get 2...Ur maths surely not that weak rite to see which is bigger...If u are still adamant, then u stay alone in this house, me and my daughter will move out. Now u loose 2 and gain 3...Make ur choice...

Me : Wahhh, aunty, u gamble well hah???

Aunty : When u talk to guys who are stubborn for no reasons, u have to gamble. Plus my daughter is all out for the guy,and since the guy is not bad att all.. I mean he doesn't gamble, drink nor smoke and has a good proffession..So why must anyone discriminate him for his skin colour... If the best man ur daughter can get is not of same race, it doesnt make sense to give ur daughter second best who is of the same race when u r daughter deffinitely deserves the best...

Me : Yeah if only people in the world are like u....

Aunty : So what about u??? Any gf...Are u married...U look handsome enough to flank a few...

Me : What??? Aunty do i look old enough to be married? And do i look like a player,,

Aunty : Nolarr, thats not what I meant.. I mean u got a gal???

Me : Not anymore...

Aunty : What happened to ur last gf?

Me : She didn't have a mother like u...

Aunty : Ohhhh...she was a chineselarrr then....Honestly, what is a skin colour these days... But
she shouldn't left u alsolarr...

Me : Well her parents threatened to chase her out from the house, and she called me instantly not for comfort but to break up...

Aunty : Ohhhhh, that means she is not sincerelarrr...Like my daughter, she went all out... If ur parents dont like ur counterpart, it is ur responsibilies to show to ur parents the good nature of the person u chose... If u can be love with that someone due to some reasons, then there is deffinitely a chance ur parents, will like ur partner also... Just needed time and shouldn't give up...

Me : Yeah i told my ex the same thing also but she just scolded me in front of her parents instead...

Aunty : Deffinitely not sincere...Haiyaaa u dont worrylarrr...My daughter and son in law has loads of chinese friends, I will ask them to introduce to u..

Me : Hah??? Aiyarr, no needlar aunty...Its not about the race, its about the girl....

Aunty : True, true....

And of course ladies and gentlemen, the conversation went on but i am too lazy to elaborate it here...Well nevertheless i think I have given the crusts....Anyway never have i seen any one elderly in malaysia, to be so flexible... I mean be it my family members who also always fight for non existence tradition, or other people who also fights for other non existence reasons. This aunty, took a logical path towards solving a probe, and it goes to show ho much she loves her daiughter that she doesn't want the daughter to be in pain for some silly reasons...Well of course most of what she said reflected upon my own life and tragedies and I wished so badly, I had this people in my life...But since it is too late to wish for it now, i guess i'll just concede the fact this is how my life gonna be...

Talking about great MOM...another mom based on her scripts i read, and would recommend it our very own 5xmom...I really enjoyed her story of bringing up a family...Funny and very reasonable...Form how she gets angry with her kids, still managed to take photot stills to make it a post for her blog, to how she and her husbands get along...Well it really fascinates me to know when there are things bad in life, there are also good things in life...Thats all for now
