Love u mom

in conjuntion with mother's day which is 1day away,wanna pen in some thought abt my mom

her name is teoh yok eng,53 d.sumtimes i like 2 call her "eng" but no disrespect 2 her.kinda more loving n tender.hehe.she will call me bck "sui kit"(means bad kit).hehe.she works as a cashier in federal hotel 4 like 30+ years d.started as a icre cream dispenser n then jump 2 another few post n bcoming cashier permanently after that.she is a very senior cashier in the hotel.her colleagues some oso old but good at wat they r doing la which is counting money every day,tabulating it n submit a report 2 their department

proud that my mom can raise my 2 sisters n me up by being a cashier.no easy feat from a woman.being a cashier in that hotel doesn't pay u that well even though u r very senior or been in the workline 4 half ur life.these days paper qualification is very important

works 6days a week,kesian i c.sumtimes she gotta work nite shift n come bck the next morning.deprived of sleep at times.working like this 4 the past 30 odd years d.sad sad.the oni good think is she will b retiring next year n no more those morning,afternoon or the worst nite shift 2 go thru.when i m not ard 2 help fetch her 2 work,she wud take a bus from my place here 2 bkt bintang or mayb take lrt 2 hang tuah n then walk 2 federal hotel.just thinking of it makes my heart pain 2 let my beloved mom endured a lonely walk n sumtimes fear of the unthinkable.thank u BUDDHA for always protecting my mom n family.thank you so much

my mom when she was younger.doesn't change much compare 2 now

when i was small,she wud b there 2 jaga me n 2 sis n make sure v have enuff 2 eat even though so big liao us still keep asking if v sudah makan or need anything else 2 makan.but no rubbish in her menu(like mcd,kfc,nasi lemak or karipap,coca cola,pepsi etc),cos in her mind this is all hazardous in the long run.when she is off 2 work or not ard i will curi curi buy 2 eat cos it is tempting 2 eat rubbish.hehe

this pic brings tear 2 my eyes when i saw it in an album.thank u ma

we do have our weekly arguments here n there n bust up.but nvr psyshical la.still she is ever so loving after an argument.wud come 2 my room drop off a "leong cha" or supplement 4 me to take.although at 23 might still hv this childlish act 2wards my mom.manja manja still there i guess 4 all of us.

she wud nvr say no 2 any appeal or help i ask.wud go to great length 2 do it even though sumtimes not so capable of doin it.at times when she asked me 2 do sumting,i kinda delay n hv those tak apa attitude.solee 2 disappoint u mom.wat i hv learnt from u is priceless,i will always help my future children no matter wat.stand by them thru rain n shine.

My mom's dress stall

well,every sat n sun my mom will b heading 2 the curve to open her dress stall
it is located along the street,the makan makan place

normally sat will b me helping out n sun my sis to take over.sun unable 2 wake up 2 help cos kinda still in alcoholand.

just arrived with our two big bags(like china 1) n some other stuff 2 setup our little stall

hv 2 setup the three tiang 1st to hang the clothes.opposite oso selling dress.many competition

my mom in action

next is to hang all the clothes up

busy as usual.she always act like a hero.wanna do a 1-man-show.i got help oso

almost a year+ since my mom n sis started this small venture.it turns out 2 b quite a fruitful decision.the income earned in a day is not bad (can cover the rental la),although at times i can't stand some biatch trying 2 flip thru the dresses n potray those arrogant face.wanna tell them 2 fuck off from my stall.well as my mom said,b patient cos we cannot fight wit money.v will always lose in the end.

almost kau tim the setup.look how small the stall

finally done.nice bo the dresses?

as my mom n i hv different personalities,v always argue n fight no matter where v are.so it is no different even in the street.but v do make a good double team.hehe.she will always jaga my bck n i will look after her bck.mostly i look after her bck cos i just jaga the stall.seriously i m not good at convincing ppl to buy.just go there 2 lend a helping hand n b there 2 chit chat with my mom in case she is bored n no customer coming 2 our stall.

shud focus on the dresses now.the dresses that my mom picked,sumtimes my sis oso helped along 2 get it are quite beautiful.in my mom's stall gurls can certainly find a dress that suits her.like in malay,they said macam macam ada.the cheapest dress is ard 28 n the most expensive is ard rm90 oni.nowadays gurls are more loaded than before.2 them a nice dress is an investment.when they look good,they feel good.they prefer to buy dresses 2 look good than to spend on eating.

it's showtime

ladies always stop by 2 c the dresses.trust me,all very new n beautiful.

since my mom has been doin it 4 a year or so,she has mastered some really good pick up lines(not 2 woo but 2 convince the ladies) 2 get the gurls 2 fork out some $$$ buy the dress.at times just being there n listening 2 wat my mom said really is really astonishing n embarassing at times.but hilarious moments do happens when my mom is so hyped up 2 make a kill.

i recalled that once my mom told me two indian guys come across the stall n was pleasantly impressed by the display of dresses available.one of the guy wanted to get her gf a dress.fishing time 4 my mom since guys r normally clueless on wat dress suits a gurl.either sexy,play it safe or elegant,my mom's stall got it.bck 2 the indian guy,the fella keep asking my mom whether his gf would look good in it or can wear it.the indian guy said "i m not sure whether my gf can wear it or look nice on this dress" 2 which my mom replied in a jovial manner "dun worry,she will look good in this dress,n definately know how 2 dress on it"..."all you hv to worry is not the dress but to undress her"...straight away the two indian guys burst into laughgter n bought it.

well this happened last sat when i was helping my mom,there was this two ladies who drop by our stall 2 get some dresses.one of them like a dress so much that she wanted it but the price my mom told her is not so ngam.this won't stop my mom from making another kill,all she needs is a little time 2 make the lady happy n feel sweet wearing it.by taking out the mirror,my mom asked her to look on it see whether it's is nice (gurls love 2 look at mirror,they wud stare more on their face than the dress).here are the lines my mom used ...
"trust me,the dress is so beautiful on u".. the lady feeling a little smitten by it
"even if i lied,the mirror won't lied".. oh my god.i cannot tahan when my mom told me the lady bought it after hearing those catchy lines.thru my years of working b4,sumtimes ppl buy not bcos of the product but bcos the person likes u.very very true

anyway my mom's stall policy is like any other policy in pasar malam.u can come n change the dress if it does not suits u,but not refundable la.

trying 2 do the sweet talk i mentioned.hehe.

have a bad habit of counting how much earned.scared will fly away the $$$

when they looked in the mirror,they see ... satisfation

as usual,admiring the dresses these young fellas

there is a good thing if i m jaga-ing the stall in case my mom go 4 toilet break or jalan jalan a bit,i wud tend to sell very cheap compare 2 my mom.cos i wanna show my mom i can sell as well.the oni way i m ever gonna sell is make it cheaper so i dun hv 2 do so much sweet talk.she will screw me a bit when she realize i sold it rather cheap.nvm la,i always tell her better sell it 2 get the little profit rather no profit.another thing is that,my frens who saw me there can come n buy at a lower price than the normal customers.hehe.

the stall is a little small 8 X 8 oni.a small canopy stall,in case hujan very mah fan.dun like it when it rains cos disrupt the bisness flow.v open from 12pm-9pm.anyhow my mom is a tough lady.nothing can stop her,very determined as well even dun hv enuff sleep the nite b4.my mom asked me to take some photos 2 promote a bit as well,so there u go with some pictures of it.

Last Sat

on a normal sat,will b helping my mom setting up n helping out on my mom dress stall in The Curve

frankly speaking i was just there 2 watch out n in case my mom go jalan or go 4 a loo break,i take over as "chief commander".hehe.not good in convincing the gurls,aunties or teenagers 2 at least fork out rm50 to buy it.however i will still try as i always do.still not a sweet talker in this department

as the night is approaching,there was this granny walking by my mom stall n hving an interests in some of the dresses.this aunty is 70years old n still looking strong 4 her age.gotta admire her.as this old "fish" was looking n flipping thru the dresses,my mom as usual will go do her "routine talk" n made a kill 4 it.this goes 2 show that even being old doesn't deter a person from being fashionable.

despite the fact my mom pulled out all the sweet and tantalizing words 2 seduce this aging fish,sumhow this fish proved 2 b elusive and a hard catch. this granny was insisting on the dress 2 b lower from rm 45 to rm 35 cos she blive that is the most reasonable price she will pay 4 it.soon my mom gave in 2 her demands since these days very hard 2 "cari makan"

after the granny has bought it,she began to talk abt her son n her daughter in law.both of them were in Curve to buy some stuff n the granny wanna walk on her won with a walking stick.she said the son is very good 2 her n the list goes on .....
she mentioned that a guy shud nvr succumb 2 wife demands or b overpowered by her as this goes to show the guy is weak n will b bully by the wife.my mom agreed n so m i.hehe
