27 April 2009: Happy Birthday!


20 years ago, I met the world for the first time, brought to earth by the most beautiful lady. It was that moment when she committed herself to giving me the best. She was always there for me, guiding me through life's ups and downs, and will still continue being there for me.

I really look forward to the end of this race, even if it marks the end of my life, because I really miss her. I know she's waiting with her welcoming arms wide open for me at the finishing line. Nonetheless, I still have to continue running this race with my family and friends. Even when she was struggling, fighting for her last few moments of her life, she never failed to pull me onto the shorter track. I really should cherish this chance.

All my life I've been running as best as I could, just to see the smile on her face. But ever since she left, I've also been struggling on my own when I cannot find that familiar smiling face. I get lost and confused in the crowd.

Last night she told me: "Don't stop here. I'm close behind. Do your best to complete this race. It doesn't matter how well you did, as long as you did your best. I'm proud of you."

Of course, those things that she said to me are purely imaginary. But mothers and daughters do live in each other don't they?

Can I, on your behalf, buy myself a birthday present? Maybe a Kate Spade wallet? No! Alright then, I'll just get myself some useful clothes for school. Is that ok? :)

Happy Birthday Sheena!
