nobody loves you more than they do

frankly, it's a bit hard to completely ignore, with constant advertisements reminding you about it. yes, it's a tad too commercialised now but one shouldn't forget the essence of this celebratory day.

right. mother's day. target, kmart, and even zonealarm (even a security software company) tells me i should buy something for my moms for this coming sunday, may the thirteenth. but year after year, without fail, i ask my moms what she would like (surprising my moms with a gift isn't quite my thing), and she never fails to say the same thing.

"i don't need any gifts, just do well and be good."

although she kept saying that, i swear if a thought bubble appeared, it would read

"hmmms... a precious moment figurine would be good, but that's if you don't follow dad and buy me one that i already have.",

seriously, 'do well and be good'?, that's like the hardest gift ever to give man!

ultimately, this entry, is my tribute. not just for my moms but for my dads as well.

*i'm doing this early cos' i know i'll forget father's day. furthermore oz's and sg's are on different days. and and.. which of you really do remember father's day, like really.. ha.*

i know i don't say "thank you" enough, for all the things you have done and sacrificed for me

i know i don't always say "i love you" enough, it seems so difficult and foreign saying it somehow

i know you try your best to understand me, especially when i scream "you just don't understand me"

i know it hurt you when i yelled "i hate you" when i was younger

i know the reason why i am here today is because of you

i know why i am the person i am is because you didn't try to control me, but taught, showed and guided me the best way you knew how

i know there will still be arguments but it is out of care and concern, and even if i do make silly mistakes along the way, you will still stand by me, supporting and encouraging me

i would like you to know this, i love you and thank you, even though at times it doesn't seem to be so

to my moms and dads dearest,
i love you both even though i might/do not say, type or show it.
i hope this little tribute shows it.

one other thing, moms, here's your gift...

heheh... the cheapest gift i can find, that's until you decide to go to aunty penny's and order it. then again, you might already own it =)


to my friends,

i'd never ever have a friend like you.
i miss you guys.
