Thanks, Mum, for fixing my loose screw

Just around Easter this year, I found a scrap paper that my mum gave me some 33 years ago after I asked her for a present.

This was especially poignant because just a few weeks before, I had told my daughter that her grandma had sadly lost her sense of humour. Slowly creeping-up dementia turned the witty, strong-willed Peranakan woman into someone who suddenly became bitter with life, and with her loved ones. Mum is no longer nice.

In those years at school, I have had a good share of getting into trouble – with the teachers and principals. And oh yes, those crushes I had, the frustration at work sometimes, and even the occasional marriage spats – I had always been able to share with my mum. For this, I am grateful. Thanks, Mum.
