Semangat mesti ada....!!

Kengkadang, bila ada orang yang dtg menziarah kita, we can get all excited/delighted about it (for whatever reasons, eg sedara mara yg dah lama tak jumpa, long lost best friend, wakil rakyat yg sudi menerima jemputan utk dtg ke rumah etc etc…)

Well, that was what happened to my mom… sebab tersangat gumbira nak menyambut cicit2 dari Sarawak (yang tak pernah jumpa sebelum nih), dan berjumpa anak2 & sedara mara yang dtg dari jauh (Kedah, Kuching, Dubai etc), my mom pulun perabih masa nak kemduri hari tuh… ke sana ke mari dia mencari barang, memesan makanan, menyediakan hal2 kelengkapan kenduri… (she doesn’t like to rely on other people… perfectionist katakan, to ensure that it is done, and it is done the way that she wants it, she will either do it herself, or monitor the work closely…)

Well, yeah.. 70yo, but still semangat power punya… walaupun kederat sudah kurang… still driving one your know….!! Kita orang anak beranak oso dunno what to do… serba salah… mana boley sorok2 kunci kete, siap kena sembur kang dek my mom…

So, sempena kenduri nih, dia pulun abih, walaupun kederat tak ada… akibatnya, selepas kenduri, dan selepas semua anak beranak, sedara mara balik, maka my mom pun tersadai kat atas katil demam… hmmm…

My mom nih pulak diabetic… ada lah pulak luka kat kaki masa kenduri tuh… akibatnya… now my mom dah masuk hospital… to treat the fever and the cut on her foot… she was admitted a day after I came back to Dubai… still in the hospital till today… risau gak… so calling2 ler to check how she was doing… like all mothers, re-assuring the children, dia kata… “tak ada apa2… dah baik dahhhh… esok dah nak balik rumah dah…, lepas keluar hospital, boley buat hyperbearing oxygen treatment kat Ipoh ataupun Lumut…. Ok jer, tak payah risau2…!”… hmmm, that was last week… but today masih kat hospital lagi… memang kena goreng bagus2 punya anak2 dia…!!

Well, hope that everything is OK, calling every other day or 2, to check on her status… siapa tak saying mak weh…?!!:)
