I’m suprised when Lin gave me this brooch. She wish me “Happy Teacher’s Day”. I asked her, why did she gave it today? Teachers’ Day is supposed to be celebrated on the 16th May, which is this coming Friday. She replied, “I don’t know. Mom asked me to give it to you.” When I looked at her mother, I said my thanks. She said she don’t know when my birthday is.
“My birthday just pass a few days ago,” I said.
“On the 10th, wasn’t it? It’s ok. Mine tomorrow.”
I just smiled. I don’t know how to response. I have never received any presents other than those who are closed to me. I need to do something tomorrow. Maybe ask her children to make a card for their mother. Hmm…
Ah, my mum called me this morning. She wished me a belated birthday. I was so happy hearing my mum’s words. She asked me when I’m going to go home. I told her maybe at the end of the year, for Hari Raya celebration. I miss mum so much. Last weekend, I felt a huge longing to my home. I really miss my family so much (sigh).
