HAPPY BELATED BIRTHDAY MUM!

It was mum's b'day yesterday. The phone had rang from early in the morning. Apparently the calls were from her ex-co-workers, saying happy birthday to her. One of them, even had sent her a box of home made risoles.

Meanwhile, I was busy preparing myself for another job interview which was located quite far from my house that I had to leave early. I was still feeling a bit lousy after one day of diarrhea, eventhough I tried to look healthy as if nothing happened; tried to be confident for the interview, hoped that it would go smoothly.

For mum's birthday, I DID remember it actually. It's just that I'm such a bad child, for not saying happy birthday as soon as possible. Kept on thinking, I will say it later, later, later. See, that's the difference between a parent and her children. A parent would leave and forget everything for her children' sake. On the other hand, children MAY NOT do the same. And I feel very bad for being like that. It was already 6.30 PM when finally my sister and I remember to buy a cake. Since we were working late, we could only buy the cake to be delivered on the next day. And it was almost 11 PM when we finally said happy birthday to my mum. Eventhough she didn't show it, I'm sure that she felt sad about this.

Mummy, I know that I dissapointed you again and again. I know that I may not fulfilled your "perfect child" image. But please remember that you always in my prayers above anyone else and you are my number one.

Happy belated birthday Mum! I love you

*PS. it's 1.14 PM, and the cake hasn't come yet :(
