Taken at Wat Somroarng, Memut.For mum, I think I don’t have any gift for you quite often. And when I have sth for you, you just love it all the heart. By wearing your heart upon your sleeves, I’ve seen it. You’ve always consider it as a precious thing I give you. And I silently had my heart-felt swinging by emotion. That’s what I love about you.
You used to mention about new stuffs for kitchen, and I asked why we don’t just buy it. Then you said you would rather want a whole new modern cooker with a large lovely home. I felt suddenly sad, knowing that I cannot fulfill this dream. I wished I would have it for you some days in a long run future, as I’m not sure I can. It’s pathetic. There’re many things I can’t fulfill for you, even just wee little things and the worst is I'm not sure If I can do. I tried to imagine how you would have always feft when you know that you can’t get what your kids want and need. Maybe so much more than how I felt at that time and right now.
However, for this mother’s day, I would love to have some new kitchen stuffs for you. I’m pretty sure you would be very happy. But I hope you won’t keep it new! lolz
Right now, I feel want to write down about everything I love about you. It’s gonna be very long to be written all the things. And I know I have to state some facts to keep its minimum. But I don’t care! I have trouble of making things short.
Well, I don’t know if we are like mother and daughter? Or older sister and younger sister? Or a pair of bestie friends? I don’t know, what I meant is, I feel like we both can be all of this together. But to me, I think it’s a real meaning of being mother and daughter. Mum can be a sister and friend, who we can always share every common senses.
That’s all I love about you.
I feel like I’m going back to be a little girl who used to find any excuse just to get money from you again. Yes I am right now. I wish I could know a thing about finance management, so that you don’t need to worry about how I don’t know how to save. You said I'm a spendthrift and I don’t know the meaning of the word, “Save or Accumulate or Cutting Back”. You said you should take me to a class and let someone lecture me how to, “Save For Rainy Day!” Though I have much trouble with this "Saving" term and I hate it when you nag about it, but still... That’s what I love about you.
But I’m sorry, Piggy bank you bought me? Ha-ha and what’s about my not-piggy bank? Leave it empty?? Do I need to furtively make a hole of it like I used to? It utterly made me burst out into a very hard laugh.
And that’s what I love about you.
You just made us laugh our tummy out! And now you appear to be more funnier. We all would rather sit at our small kitchen all together listening to your nagging while laughing hard at it. Because we found it’s so funny and you would not stop keeping on it! And we continue to laugh and laugh at what you keep telling, saying, nagging and all that jazz, and you don’t really care what we laugh about.That’s what I love about you.
When my peers visit, you just can be a member of our group. You just can be a friend with us. You are congenial. That’s when I see you appear more younger. You just can be funny and amusing with them. Being with you, they don’t need to be proper, or have their good manner or be orderly. They can be themselves in any way. You just always welcome and accept just the way they are. You've never had any negative comments about my peers.
That’s what I love about you.
We laugh when you speak English. You would just speak it out and then asked what its real meaning. That’s when I love about you. I remember last time, I was driving along the way back home, and you rang to ask me in English, “WHERE ARE YOU?” I said in English, “I'M ON THE WAY!” then you doubtfully asked in Khmer, “What does it mean, ‘I’m on the way?’” I just burst into a very hard laugh and explained you its meaning, then you laugh and laugh.
That’s what I love about you.
Now you are a primary Khmer teacher at a Mandarin School and you would just come up with Mandarin sentences you just learned from your students and made its sound very funny. And we laugh again. It’s hard for people and your students not to love you, even when you taught in public school. I remember you told us about some parents who came and told you that their children insist to have class with you again. Yes, it showed that you have their love and respect. By the way, at your public school you teach, there are a lot of poor students, and all you have to do is to give, give and give. Look at how you got their love. MUCH.
That’s what I love about you.
Most of time, we all five members would just sit or sleep next to one another and talk about this and that and when we find something funny, we laugh. The thing is you would be the one who laugh, laugh and laugh, which made us laugh, laugh and laugh too, but then we wonder what is so funny to you. And you would just be unable to help yourself to speak.
That’s what I love about you.
The moment I would treasure the most is when you and dad sing and dance with each other. It’s so beautiful and very sweet moment of being a growing-old couple. Sometimes, dad would always give us some technique how to dance when he couldn’t resist of hearing the rhythm of any music, especially ChaCha, Madison and Bolero. He’s really good dancer. My both men I ever love the most in this world are really good at dancing. The other one, needless to say, is my Mr. Perfect, who is my Uncle. Mum, you and dad just like singing the traditional and oldies song together. We just shut the door and sing in the room out loud and three of us just sit and listen and laugh while you both are singing.
In every occasion, especially our relative’s wedding, dad just loves asking you to dance with, even in room at home. Both of you were always be a first honor couple to start every song they play. But you sometimes just deny because you shy away at time in public, esp in a place that we don’t have many of our people, but I know a hundred percent sure, you really love to dance with dad.
That’s what I love about YOU and DAD.

By da way, yes you are a spendtrift. But that's not the worse of you. I found it somewhat magic that I don't see it as a worst thing. Haha And Piggy Bank?? Haha you deserve to have one. It's good that your mum start being trick with you.
Don't be sad though. I'm sure you can fulfil what you want to have for them. You're just 21 anyway. There's still a hell of years to make a fortune. But like your dad said, unless you go to purue you BA RIGHT NOW!!!! So when you girl??? 4 years has passed already my dear!
Love,
Né
But damn!!! You're 21!!!! Haha I wonder how you look right now. Older I'm sure! Think you look like a cutie lady right now, not a cutie girl like before. Hey, honestly I miss the time you were nearly 18. You so much want to be 18 like mad. Remember?? Lolzzz Well, It's been a hell of years I've never met you. Girl, you are always busy! But s.o told me now you're so so beautiful. And I think he's right. hehehe Is it so hard to get you pick up the phone??? Or reply sms?? I'm not complaining ok?? hehehe But we should meet up all together once one day. Miss all of your friends too. Say hi to them for me.
Thank you and as well sorry for not always pick up the phone, as I don't always stick with my phone and I'm lazy to text sms.
You seem to know me so clearly. But honestly, I have no idea who you are.
Oh my, I think I should be a better daughter from now on, since u have a very deep inside love with ur family. Well, "Father And Mother I Love You", that's what family mean! There are times, I would like to write something about my mom and dad, but I'm always busy. Anyway, I could learn a new way to express it from u. Very well thank!
See u later, babe!
hehehe Everyone have a very deep love for their own family. You and I also do. At every turn, there are times I want to write about how worst I was and I am with family, esp. with mum, but I'm so ashamed to write.
So do I, I can't do that! I don't have a perfect family, I just have a fairly good one. And I choose to look only for the good in them. Just so I still believe love is always there for all of us. Your mother is very nice and wonderful in her age, sometimes, I wonder how could I grow up and be like my mom, not entirely though. But our families make up most part of our life story, don't they?
Yes! I got your point! I somehow feel like growing to be like mum. Not entirely, but most part. But I wish I could have her lovely parts, like good at cooking, good at doing house chore, good at keep things clean and so on. Yes, family makes up the most part of everyone life. I believe it so. I've seen it. I've seen how everyone can be because of family.
We have the same goal ends then, being a daughter is hard work. But with its own prize! Does ur mom give u a hard time, sometimes? I think mine does a lot. Like telling me to be lady-like and be nice to others. [I don't think i'm mean, do u?] but there's always sand in her eyes when she looks at me... pretty much like that!
i'm gonna use 1 word to describe every single parents in the world. GREAT!!
we should appreciate what we have now especially to our dear parents. anyway, i enjoyed reading your blog. =)
regards,
Jesyca
Hahaha omg, sand in her eyes? No my dear, I don't think so. She just want you to be a honorable lady.
I think my mum never give me a hard time, but it's me who give her many every hard times. And I try not to give her those again. But it has to take time to do it. I can be proper when I'm on my own, not with her. I meant some kind of lady like.
One thing I don't like about is she's too caring about how others will look at me, esp with my neighbor. She wants me to be home early and not go out at night, even I just go only once in a while and I always go with bong bong, including my cousine.
I should put all the blame to my neighbor since they like talking behind everyone's back. They like interfering people's stuffs. They like knowing people's stuffs. They like gossip people around and brag about themselves.
I think that's why mum afraid that I would become a topic for them to talk about.
Jesyca,
Thank you for reading mine. I do appreciate it.
Thank you.
Hey, I have that kind of neighbor too, they like to gossip someone's daughter and I guess, if something's happening, we'll just collect all the Hot news in a minute. But some of them are nice anyway, like my mom's friends. They look out to each other and I think it's better for adulthood to forget all that junky stuff like gossip. I meant, c'mon, they're old! Couldn't they pass all of that?
Btw, I don't go anywhere night, so it's normal for me to stay home. I went to night events only with permission.
