Family

Mommy n me

my mom and I share a special bond that goes beyond friendship and love. She is one of my closest friends, my confidante and my pillar of strength. She has been a task master and disciplinarian while I was growing up, has yelled her head off at me( in front of people, none the less :) when I was wrong; but at the end I know she is one person i can count on to be there for me no matter what. I miss her terribly now that I am away from home, but we talk often and she visits me every year!! She is one of the best cooks i know( and yes, everyone loves their mom's cooking, but i am not exaggerating) and I have learnt most of my basic cooking skills from her. She has such a fetish for cleanliness and I can only hope to keep my house as tidy as her's is.


Dad in clogs(Amsterdam 06)

My dad and I have a "love hate" relationship. He "loves" to irritate and bug me and I "hate" it when he does that. He is a fun loving person and would probably be travelling all year round if it wasn't for his demanding job. He loves me to bits and I can never in my life remember him refusing any of my demands. He would drive me to school, parties, heck even to college sometimes and never complained ever. He always tries to act like the big boss, but mom n I always gang up against him( hehe)!
He is self-made and extremely honest when it comes to his professional life.
I am a spitting image of him, down to the pointy, prominent nose and straight hair, alas i also got his short temper and quality of 'passing the buck' when it comes to conflicts. My mom feels I am too much like him, which is why we probably end up fighting a lot, but at the end of the day I love him.
