The Purple Sky

pick one. the way to ur heart is thru...

for ainon, the way to her mom's heart the on 13th of may is a sweet, heart warming, tears stimulating slide show she created. (complete with super sweet background song of her life's journey and how her mom was there along the way to help her make it through) ouhh..


for miha, she perfectly aware that all the roads to her mom's heart has to be lined with glitters. huge gifts. ribbons. nice wrappings. hard love.


as for my dearest umi, i know just exactly how to tug at her heartstrings.

umi is a working mum, and she still a working mum now at 51. coming home late, on calls, late night shifts, homeworks to finish before the start of a new day, i understand her frustrations everytime she comes back to our -always in a mess, dusts everywhere home. and umi is a very particular person when it comes to cleanliness! adding up to her frustrations is the fact that she actually has no time to clean up everything. and the dirts build up. thicker..and thicker..and thicker..everyday..


but it was through hard work that i finally found the way to her heart.


before this, i've tried buying stuffs, fancy gifts, penned beautiful words on beautiful embroidered cards on special occasions.. none of it managed to move her enough, or able to successfully convey the message of how much she is cherished in my heart. they're heartwarming, yeah..but not exactly the right path to her heart. it was later when i decided to carry out household cleaning spree that i found out her weak spot. they way she smiled, the way her cheeks twitched in glee as i scrubbed her blackened stove to a glittering shine. when i cleaned and cleared the cobwebbed wrapped cupboard, or after i wiped the 3cm thick dust off all the 18 windows in the house, also when i returned the colours back to her bathroom tiles after hours of battle with the grimes..nothing beats the satisfaction seeing the gleam of joy in her eyes. i know i've found the way to umi's heart. its hard work, but worth all the while.


happy belated umi day, umi.


next time i'm home, i'm gonna scrub the grills pulak ok.

p/s: and yeahh..quality time spent finds easy way to my heart. *smile*
