Thank You Mak...

For the past few days, I had stayed at my in laws' before I came back home last night to sleep with our Mee- Maw. He is one re-incarnated cat of Dear's previous cat - which we named Babywary. I named him in fact. His cat was helplessly killed by a bunch of dogs. His good neighbor brought him the lifeless body. I loved that cat. Anyway... here is a picture of Mee - Maw, a name we picked from TBBT (The Big Bang Theory) sitcom. It was the name of the Sheldon Lee Cooper character (the funniest, most genius, and simultaneously silliest character ever)'s late grandmother.

So Mee-Maw here, was just closing his eyes, which appeared to me like he was sleeping; but he wasn't lying down. He is one naughty cat, and he is less fluffy compared to his late brother aka late uncle.

Anyway, I had been spending time with my mother in law... I really like her. She is a good cook, an honest woman, and most of all a relaxed mother. Relaxed in the sense that if anything goes wrong; if it is not that serious, she laughs it off like a mild joke. She loves her children - so much that she really never complains about cooking or doing anything for them. She cleans the house every single day - that is like how my favorite auntie - Aunt Eng, and my grandma do.

About cooking, I guess her family - and whoever is her family, even though  new like me - is very lucky... she is a great chef. Whenever the food is served, I always hoped that someone would start eating, because her cooking really intrigues all the appetites ever in the world. Apart from being able to bring her magic pair of hands to make the cooking taste delicious, she is able to prepare many dishes at the shortest time. Whenever I am in the kitchen with her, I would ask.. "Mak masak ape?" (Translation: "Mom, what are you cooking?") She would tell me the name of the dish - and honestly, the only thing I am able to help her with is the washing of dishes and probably preparing the drinks, and then the plates and...bringing the food to the front. That's about it, I guess. I am that useless. :( She had taught me how to clean out Ikan Billis (Anchovies) too, and it is pretty fun.

Watching Malay dramas becomes something I really enjoy doing. I realized that there are a lot of pretty local actresses around. I had never paid any attention to Malay or Tamil dramas previously- but now Malay dramas are just great..

I felt bad though - because mak had helped me out so much - providing me so much convenience...
in the morning she made sure that I had my food, and my dirty clothes were washed by her...

If I am not able to repay her in any other way, I pray that she is repaid by Allah for her good deeds. She is one great companion too; smiles sincerely whenever she finds something amusing. What we need is sincerity - always the sincerity. I am really fed up with fake expressions. I have seen so many people like this around - even among my friends.

This is to mak:

Mak, you are such a nice person - funny sometimes, and you really have a good heart. You're an excellent cook!!!!!!! May Allah bless you with perfect health, perfect faith, and may you be happy all the time, Mak. :)
