Parents' month

Seeing so many posts on Mother's Day made me realise many things. Well, I believe if you really love your parents, you'll keep that in mind every single day, not only on Mother's Day. However, they do deserve special treatment once in a while because they deserve it that much.

I feel it's truly a privilege to have great grandma, grandma and mom around. I would like to wish everyone of them happy mother's day! Undeniably I seldom show love towards them, but I really do (so cliche). I tried my level best to show it today by washing the toilet (never realised it's such a filthy job but since it's mother's day I decided to do it), buying cakes with dad for grandma and also buying her favourite ice cream for her as dessert. :)

They taught my dad and I well.

My grandma has been my second mother and babysitter since birth. Most of the time it's her who takes care of me, up until now. I really thank her for everything. She has her ways of teaching us into the right path (just look at my dad and I). When I was younger, she accompanied me while I did my homework and we would hit the sack together. She was strict but it got better when I grew up. Now that when I look back, I see the effort she's put in. She's never forced me to do my work, I had my own schedule and everything. Now that I'm getting respectable results, getting into a medical school, I seriously can't do it without them.

My dad is the only idol I can think of if anyone were to ask me. I've never felt so in debt with someone besides him. He could've bought a super car with the money he's investing in my education. Instead of keeping the money all to himself and enjoying high society life, he saves up so that I don't have to apply PTPTN and I know my life will definitely be better without worrying how to settle the loan once I start working. He travels so much just to earn more for my education. He hopes to send me to the best medical school in KL and worries most of the time when I'm not home, but he doesn't annoy me with endless calls or whatnot. He knows me so well that he'd know when I lied that I'm full just because the dessert was too bitter and I didn't want to finish it. Although you may not be with me all the time but I know you're secretly supporting me. You treat me like a princess and I promise you'll always be my king. 

Thank you for building the path to my future.
Thank you for remembering me everytime you're overseas and always buy my favourite Doraemon merchandise, accessories or clothes.
Thank you for forgiving me when I underachieved. No matter where I graduate, I promise to be the best surgeon, an ethical and passionate one. 
Thank you for everything.
