De’8 random facts about my SUPER MUM
At first when I saw the title from Montessorimum and Everydayhealy I thought it was revealing everything about me. Reading it once more, oh…only I realised it is actually about my mother. Good chance here for me to reveal the love and sacrifice that this very important person has done to me.
1. First of all, my mum has a weird surname, Hwan. And funny enough, all her siblings doesn’t bear the same surname spelling (some with Huan, some with Wan). According to my mother, since their parents can’t recognise words, they just pronounce and people at the registration did the spelling for their birth certificates.
2. She is a primary school teacher and now, a grandmother to 3 grandchildren, she hasn’t retire from her job.
3. My mum is a clean freak. Every corner in my house, even toilet is so clean that u can sleep almost everywhere. On contrary to me and my father, she keeps our home very neat.
4. I know it is not easy to maintain a super clean house. Now I understand why she works and clean the house, almost every moment when she is awake. No time for TV or any entertainments. Even now, she washes our clothes when we go home (what a lousy daughter I am!)
5. She is smart and very good in financial planning. She used to pay for the family when my father was jobless for sometime when we were very young.
6. At 24, she almost lost her life while giving birth to me.
7 . Till today, she still manage partly of my financial investment as she is very good in shares investment.
8. Funny that she can be extremely patient with her grandchildren, but not us when we were young last time. Not fair lar, mummy!

It is really funny back in the days when they are getting names for the baby. I once heard my grandmother said that last time their names are all “ah kao” (dog), “ah neow” (cat) cos they don’t study. Whatever they see the first thing they open the door will name the bb as that.
Btw, I’ve done this before. Here’s mine…
