The queen of my heart

...So, I forgot to also mention that today, the 23rd of January is a special day for someone important in my life: My mum, my role model, my mentor, the queen of my heart and the heroine of my life. <3

Happy birthday mama! It's been years since I last celebrated any of her birthdays together with her... I guess probably in a year or two's time, I'll be able to finally celebrate it together with her when I'm officially done with studies. However, I hope that no matter what it is, at the end of the day, she would understand that this will only be temporary as there will definitely be one day that we will all come together as a family again to celebrate it with her. Therefore, as for now, some small gestures like arranging flowers to give to her on her birthday would suffice and I guess it's more than enough to represent our token of love to her as a family :)

This year, we decided to go for something a little different than previous years.. Hehe, we went for cute lady bird flowers instead of the norm: Roses. Haha. I guess that's just a special way to represent our love (siblings&I) to our beloved mum in a different way, which she would understand the most. 

I know that there are a lot of times and days where my mum & I wouldn't see eye-to-eye, but at the end of the day, I know that no matter how much I dislike it or disagree with some of her ways, I have to accept the fact that she's my one and only mum that I have in this world, and the only one who cares most deeply for me, apart from my dad of course. That's why, no matter how harsh some of the things she may say to me, or how upset things get between us at times due to the differences we have, I have to admit that this is the definition of family. I believe that these happen especially when you are close to your family members, and that their true colours show; the words they say may not be sugar-coated words that you often hear from outsiders but in fact, it would be mostly based on harsh and straightforward true facts + opinions. 

Well, personally, that's what I relate most to coming from my version of family, so I'm not sure how true or accurate my definition of family is compared to yours. And one thing that I'm certain of is no matter how much you refuse to accept their words of "wisdom", at the end of the day, we have to understand that they did it out of the love and care they have for us, but not because they have the intention to harm us in any way. Therefore, after years of studying abroad and apart from my family so far, I realised so much things.. 

...Nothing ever lasts forever, and the same applies to nobody lives forever. Thus, we have to always cherish every moment and opportunity that we have been granted with to seek for the advice from them and continue to create new memories with our loved ones!!!!

In short, my mama's truly the best mum that I could ever asked for.. Despite all of her flaws, I can certainly look passed them all and see the sincerity and compassion that she holds within her beautiful heart :) She truly deserves the best from all of us! So, I (honestly) hope that I've been a great daughter thus far even for all the upsets and letdowns I've caused in the past for her. 

Once again, happy birthday my beloved Moo Moo Cow. I love you always :)

I'll end this post with some pictures..

So much love for this woman here <333

Mamasita... hehe, loved it so much whenever I get to comment on her appearance in some of her pictures and observing her reaction after + listening to her replies :p Those are just pure bliss. 

Till then world,
