SACRIFICES… well, this word actually bring back some memory.. memory of things that i went through… i know without them i wont be the person who i am or maybe i wont be hear at all.. and so when i heard the story of someone going through the same pain i went through or worse, it actually made me realise that ppl who truly love us will sacrifice watever it takes because they want us to succeed..yeah, they are our parents… i heard of parents selling houses, opt for VR etc etc… to pay for their children’s education.. yeah, thats a HUGE sacrifice that we cant repay no matter what we do.. they have the rights not to support us but they chose otherwise…
so..came the question…will i make HUGE SACRIFICES for them in return??? well, of lately, Dad has been hinting of staying with me after his retirement…well, thats like 6 years from now but i have to start planning.. i can NEVER measure his sacrifices for this family, so is mum’s.. both of them have done so much for me and brother… when mum told me of something recently, i was actually holding back tears.. when i watched those mother’s day’s movies, i was weeping not becoz of the show in particular but of the things that i experienced.. bro is starting by saving hard for the holiday trip with my parents… nah, im not included… but some miracle mite happen thou :)..that depends when my hols is coz mum really wans the four of us to go together.. and she says i can borrow the loan from dad first… wow.. i darent even ask for my allowance actually coz my wallet is drying up this month.. still owe a few presents thou.. hmm, just see what i can do.. each time i ask money from dad, that’s like an ouchie in my heart… even i could be a millionaire one day, i dont think i can ever repay what dad has paid for me.. he didnt even allow me to apply scholarship coz he doesnt want to be bonded.. being a FAMA scholar, i learnt to spend my money wisely.. became pretty stingy too
and then… im just curious is it that every parent hope that their children will settle down one day..or before their last breath?? i heard of this many times but im just FORCING myself not to keep this in mind… well, not that im being disobedient, just that sometimes im doubtful if it is that ‘important’.. i was telling of my plans after i grad (well, i know its still TOO EARLY but without plans, u dont push urself to keep going, aiye..)and so.. Mum is like "No no.. ur not staying in Sabah for that long.. unless ur going to settle down there…"..oopsie.. well, she told me of a few reasons ‘WHY I SHOULD RETURN’ once i grad.. but the main reason she told me wasnt a ’strong reason’ for me.. hence, it made me think, will i sacrifice for them..?? if i say NO, i guess i would be committing the worst sin ever.. if i said yes, i mite not have a good opportunity to do what i have intended to do..though it will be 3 years till i made the FINAL decision, i guess i already have the answer in my head.. There is no way i will disappoint them even a tiny bit, i CAN NEVER forget how they struggle for me and provide the best for me.. so, i have no rights to turn down their little favour.. i owe everything to them…
oo..did i mention i went back to school today..? yeah, going back to my secondary school..changes..yup, i didnt know its already one session, i didnt know there’s extension to the canteen but surprisingly, the famous "mak ali chicken rice is still there’..hehe.., i didnt know there’s a new hostel building etc etc.. the 6th form students are getting lesser..way to go.. surprisingly, a few teachers still remember me, even those who taught me in form 2.. kaka.. and its nice catching up with Pn. Bedah, the used to be librarian who helped me and listened to my problem back then.. and Ms. Neoh, my dearest Biology teacher who taught me in form 6, practically the only one who understood why i cried like hell even on stage when i learnt i got A- for bio while others were congratulating me… and another teacher, Pn.Veena who taught me chem in form 5, who talked to me lots about medic school and stuff…. i wasnt sure i was happy in secondary school.. but i remember clearly the sacrifices i made in form 6.. it was hell to me and my parents were freaking out for the two years.. i guess i made life a hell for them too.. i didnt know what made me do this, but im glad i did thou it was painful.. i take it as a ‘test’ from GOD, to make me realise and appreciate things and people i might have not cared previously..i guess there’s still a lot of things i still need to improve…
