Oh mum...
Just didn't feel like doing anything after I reached home today and I did something I hadn't done in ages - hung out in parents' bedroom to watch TV with mum. I never quite realised how much my mum cared/ minded my behavior/ actions... but she does. My heart aches somewhat just thinking about it...
So we were watching Channel 8 news when I caught some brief footage of the crane hoisting down the stupid Sembawang water tank (where this maid was murdered and dumped) from the HDB block. It stirred some interest in me cos just this evening HDB came and updated me abt this and I almost had to staff up something related to the removal of the water tank. But like many channel-surfing restless viewers mum switched channels to Channel 5 and both of us were suddenly carried away by this program revealing the trick behind how a woman can disappear from a curtained-box in a magic show that we missed the news snippet on the water tank. I naturally expressed my disappointment - not cos it was anything really worth watching - but more 'cos I failed to satisfy that kpo urge in me. Anyways just too bad lah and so i went about other stuff like showering and my nightly ritual of wasting time on my computer.. when all of a sudden mum hurriedly came into my room to ask me to get ready to go watch TV 'cos the water tank snippet was going to be replayed on Channel U news... and I suspect she had intentionally kept the TV on so she cld monitor whether this wld come up again during the 11pm news.
You know - I had quite forgotten I wanted to watch it (cos it was really not that impt) but sweet mum like cannot sleep without achieving her mission for that night like that. So I eventually caught the 3 min footage of the hoisting of the Sembawang water tank, all thanks to mum.
I dunno how she does it, but her selflessness just makes me darn ashamed of myself.
