many people would say i must be super rude to put such a title. or some might be speculating that i quarrelled with her. no no.nothing of the sort. in fact i must really say sometimes i admire her. for her wisdom in finances, cooking etc though she can be very long winded and naggy most of the times. but something i really wish to affirm her of..a little history..my mum age 56. born in 1952 sometime in april..she became a christian @ a young age. when she was 21. she told us she was baptise in Church of Singapore. then she married my dad not knowing that she can't be unequally yoked..when she had us because of caring for the family she didn't attend church anymore and it was for a whole of like 18 years...

after 18 years of being a lost sheep..she had a dream. same dream for 3 consecutive times. she dreamt that she died and had no where to go.. heaven didn't want her neither did hell. so her soul wandered about aimlessly..and she woke up in sweat..all in all the same dream 3 times. she confided in her sister (who is a non christian) and her sister said:

sis:" must be your God asking you to come back."

sometimes when my mum share her story with me..i felt that God's timing very divine because 18 years of not attending church..my brother was 18 then and i was 16..he finished his a levels while i completed my o levels. we were more of grown ups then God intervened @ that time and brought her back.

my brother is 29 this year and its like been a good 11 years since my mum went back to church and she is damn CONVICTED. i really admire her faith. she can share christ to anymore. She will just praise God in front of my uncles, aunties, grandparents, her staff and outsiders. She acknowledges that her wisdom comes from God and whether her business is good or bad also is up to God. She tells my dad how she starts her day before she enters her office by singing praises to God...(whahhaa i felt so ashamed that i don't). and i must admit my mum sings out of tune, out of beat. but she just sing and she does her QT every morning. she starts work @ 10 am.but she wakes up @ about 830am to do QT. Unbelievable right?

My mum will pray for everybody in the family anything under the sun she can pray and she always share christ to my dad. she always tell him story after story how God has blessed her life, protected her etc and her list never ends. She told me she never believe in coincidences and only believe in God's divine intervention. She is 1 lady who will interrogate me as to the reason why i never go church/ never give tithe. Scary mum right?

Through these years her faith has been growing stronger and stronger. She used to be damn afraid to die but today she told me this

mum:" i am not afraid of ghosts because i know my God is stronger and bigger than those spirits. I will always shout Hallelujah. I am not afraid of death because i know where i am going after i die."

me:" whaa..stare stare stare... and keep quiet."

don't you all agree my mum is a siao siao mother?
