Just sharing a conversation between my Mum and I….
Mum: They are all older than you?
Me: Yup.
Mum: How did you get to know them?
Me: Just get to know lar (I really really didn’t want to elaborate so much on it initially…)
Mum: Fanclub ah?
Me: Yar….
Mum: At least they are of a good influence to you.
Me: Yup, I know
Mum: And your Chinese (in terms of conversing in Chinese) seems to have improved recently…
Me: Yar, I know Have been talking to them recently thats why. You should be happy right?
Mum: Definitely. At least I won’t be hearing you conversing with Chinese and English “here and there”.
This is just my mum I guess… To be honest, I was really surprised but at the same time very happy that she actually said that since she has a serious misconception of me knowing people who are older than me not to mention through the cyber world and a fanclub. She was happy that other then going for events, we are doing something meaningful (I was telling her about the food distribution which we did previously and the reason behind the cans of sardines and packets of bread in our house).
I thought I should share this really short text conversation as well…
Me: Thank you.
Mum: Sorry 4 this morning. Tell yr group keep it up. Gb. Mum learn something from you 2 n let share knowledge n ideal
(My mum ain’t good at texting at all….. )
I quarreled with my mum over the phone just because of the bread and sardines on Saturday morning actually. I have to admit, she was really unhappy about it initially. The reason why I text her “Thank you.” after placing everything in the house was that at least she was understanding and I was really thankful for that. Her reply just made my day even better
