My Promise To You, Mum

Two days ago, I broke my record in the longest time I went without sleeping and the old record stood at 25 hours. Now, I am honoured to let you all know that the record is currently standing at 30.5 hours. In my last post about the same record, titled What Happened In The Last Couple of Days?, the reason I could hold out for 25 hours straight was because we went to a water-theme park and it was A-waitforit-MAZING. AMAZING!

         However this time, I managed to hold out for 30.5 hours because we went shopping for my college stuffs (by the way, I've already finished packing everything!) and at night, I just couldn't sleep because I was too worried about going to college. I had to admit, I already felt homesick although I'm still here in my own comfort of home. You know, after having this emotional feeling, finally I felt melancholy about leaving this house. It's completely true when people said 'home sweet home' and what makes a home special is because the people you love is living underneath it. Then, I also finally realized the huge significance of my mum in my life. Before, I always took her presence for granted but not now. Now, I cherish every single second I have left in this house. Because after this, my life would change drastically. I promise myself that I would do my best. This is for my family. No matter how many tears and sweats I shed, it's all for my family. They deserve this. A success from me. I owe them that much.

         My family spent more than RM 1 000 for my entrance to the matriculation college. It makes me guilty every time I remind myself about the sacrifice my family have done for me just to get me into college.

         Eyi akan buat yang terbaik, ibu. Eyi janji kepada ibu yang ibu takkan menyesal habiskan semua duit itu untuk tanggung pelajaran Eyi. Eyi janji yang Eyi akan buat ibu bangga dengan Eyi. Eyi akan belajar tinggi-tinggi dan bayar balik jasa ibu kepada Eyi. Eyi janji yang Eyi takkan putus asa dan satu hari nanti, Eyi nak ibu tengok Eyi menjulang sijil ijazah dan buat ibu gembira. Eyi sayangkan ibu sangat-sangat walaupun Eyi kadang-kadang kurang ajar dan degil dengar cakap ibu. Eyi minta maaf, Ibu. Eyi tahu yang Eyi ni bukan anak yang senang diajar. Eyi tak tahu macam mana ibu boleh tahan dengan perangai malas Eyi ni. Eyi tahu yang Eyi ni bukan anak yang terbaik tapi Eyi akan cuba yang terbaik, dengan sepenuh kudrat Eyi, Eyi akan buat ibu bangga dengan Eyi. Itu janji Eyi.

          Wow. That just made my throat tightened. Mum, I really love you. You're my best friend, the one who knows me inside and out although we do have difference in opinions (A LOT) but you're my superwoman. You're the woman that makes me proud that I am a woman (rather a man, really). You make me believe that a woman can be stronger than a man. That we can face anything life throws at us and becomes better and brighter at the end. You're my hero, forevermore. I love you, mum. Gonna miss you hard.

           That is all for today. We'll see again later. Bye.

I Love My Mum,
Liely
