Yesterday when I passed by Giordano, I saw this "typical" Mummy. Definition of "Typical" in my dictionary is the kind of mummy that is from our era ? Whom speaks chinese and gives u the image that she might bargain in Giordano. Got an idea on my definition? Anyway their conversation was like this:

Daughter (around 13-14 years old) speaking in Chinese: "Mummy, I want this black t-shirt."

Typical Mummy replying in Chinese: " Why you always buy this kind of t shirt huh ? Very nice meh ? U had alot of it already and still want to buy ?! "

Daughter sulking away:" But this is not the same.... "

Typical Mummy: " What not the same ? Its the same what !! Black t shirt just the pattern different only mah ! "

I was wondering to myself , what kind of mummy would I want myself to be in 10 years time ? When Favian starts requesting for things but yet I can't acede to his request every now and then or else he would take things for granted. Will I just shut him off with the lame excuse like that Mummy ? Or should I just be his friend and listen to his reasons on why he would like me to get the things for him ? Actually I do envy one of my friend who shared a friendly bonding with his mum. Like even til this age, he would hold his mother's hand whenever they are out shopping or hug each other when we were playing mahjong. I would really like to share this kind of relationship with Favian as I was brought up in a typical way and I would imagine myself sharing this kind of bonding with my mum when I was a teenager. However I never manage to bring myself to do so even til now.

It might be too early for me to go in depth to this issue now but I am glad at least I start reflecting and targeting now.

It is always good to be an early bird. :)
