As I grow up, I never thought of myself bearing much of a resemblance of my mum. Yes, apart from the petite figure, I find it hard to look for other close matches.

Then, one day..my dad, who rarely praises me (coz he just didn't want me to be any cockier than I already AM)..he said he loved one special feature about me. It's my lips..He said I had nice, sexy lips just like Mama...I felt so touched..to hear it from a cool dad like mine.

Later on in the years, there was once, mum digged out a really old pic of herself (a black & white pic with her in her teenage years, wearing a checkered dress). With the long, straight, jet black hair & the same smile..a family friend who saw that pic actually thought it was ME (the daughter who was then studying in Sydney). Hahaha...my mum just smiled & corrected her saying, "That's actually me, 30 years ago & not my daughter NOW" hahaha...

As years passed by, more & more people see the resemblance. A close high school friend, my cousins, my aunts especially...they see their 'big sista' in me sometimes; & say 'She's as pretty as our Big Sista used to be when she was young.." Well, aunt, you're only half right. To me, mum is still pretty although she's in her 60s now. She's my dearest mama & I'm proud to have all her good (& not so good) genes in me. She's a wise, kind-hearted, good natured, responsible, respectable figure; as a wife, mum, daughter-in-law, mother-in-law, grandmother, daughter, sister, teacher, friend, colleague, superior..etc no matter what role she plays in life.

I see the likeness in the character of Louise Lee See Kei in Heart of Greed as "Dai Kai" & Moonlight Resonance's "Ho Ma". When I watch these series, I think of her & miss her even more. I wish I can see her everyday, to kiss & hug her..to joke & laugh with her. I feel really bad to work far away from home & not being able to spend time with mum & dad often. Mama...promise me you & dad will come over often when our little place called HOME is ready next year, OK? Love you always & I'm proud to have a mum like you. You're the BESTEST mum in the world! (No, this is not an outdated post for Mother's Day...I have learnt, to treat my mum the best & make everyday a HAPPY MOTHER'S DAY for her..MAMA, I LOVE YOU!)

Do u think I look like Mama?
