the difference is, what kind of mother do you have? do you have the type who will sit you down and give you advice? or do you have the type who will only nag when you make mistakes? but i believe, whatever type they are (as long as they are not abusive), they mean well in all their actions....although it might be hard for us to fathom sometimes.
since it is mother's day today, it is unavoidable not to think about mothers. the tv has been bombarding you with jingles and shows that they have chosen specially for mother weeks before this day comes. even my mom is humming jay chou's song for mother which is played by 8tv today. no kidding.
my mom is not the type i get advice from. naaah...when i think of mom, it is the food that is always on the table come meal time and her preparing medicine for us when we are sick. food will always be available at home when mom is home. haha....that is why it is difficult to lose weight in the holidays. and when you are sick, just tell her you are sick, medicine will be prepared. she is also very patient with us i guess. we are always ordering her to do this and that for us (buy me difflam from the pharmacy please) and she would do it. hence, till today, i have never cooked a meal at home nor have i done any proper shopping at the wet market. gosh, i am lucky huh. i always get my apples and mangoes and dragon fruits to bring back to bidor.
i did not celebrate mother's day with her....well, if it means bringing her out for her a meal. but we siblings do buy her something. sis called and another sent a card from australia. i will go shopping this friday at isetan (SALE!!!) and i am thinking of buying a jar of la mer cream for her this time around. we bought a set of biotherm for her last year. hope she will like it.
she won't be reading this so she won't know what she is getting till this saturday. hahaha....

ok this is not related to mother's day. i want to talk about the onion experiment i tried yesterday (read the previous post).
i think the onion kinda help to relieve the bacteria infection. not sure if it is the onion, the honey i took or the lozenges. but this morning, i woke up without a pain in the throat and i coughed out thick gooey greem phlegm. it was a relief to see the phlegm coming out actually. i did not croak in the morning too...i could speak as usual. but of course the throat still felt dry. the smell of onion in the room was not that difficult to bear with. after a while, you would get used to it.
as for grandpa's....errrrr....you all decide for yourself. he vomitted this morning at 11a.m. but this morning and the whole day, i did not hear him cough at all. he vomitted his breakfast (i could see bread) and he went to the toilet twice. he does not look sick. my guess is the gas/wind in his body is the cause of this. once you have vomitted, you should feel better right? i made him drink some honey and in the evening we made him another glass of glucose. he took a piece of mom's chiffon cake. i heard he said he did not want to eat his dinner tonight, but i had left before dinner time, so i did not if they would be able to make him eat something.
grandma is going to put onion in the room again today (i hope she remembers). i planned to bring some onions back with me initially, however, there are only 2 left. so i left without any, in case mom forgot to buy any tomorrow and grandma has no more stock for tomorrow night.
i guess there is no harm in putting that onion in the room every night. just make sure you don't eat the onion the next day. it should be covered with germs already by then.
now, who is going to send some onions over to me in bidor?? ;P
