bonne anniversaire maman =)

the 9 months that i was a 'work in progress" in your loving belly, you sang nice little lullabies (dun lie i know you did! =P) to send me to sleep, you "sayang-ed" your tummy as if u were "sayang-ing" me, you baked your lovely breads, cakes and pies with me, and you never failed to send some down for me to try *wink ;D*, you brought me to work to show me off to you colleagues at apple (was it?), and then more showing me off to your other friends.. and our relatives and yadayadayada... but you know.. truth is.. slightly under 33 years before i was "created" (through you know.. "that thing"...), you were pretty much like me.. you spent 9 months in your mama's belly, and she must have done things like those you did with me.. and today the 20th of march, we celebrate your first breath into this world.. i'm pretty darn sure you came like some killerly bright light (that i'm sure even a HMI light or even the sun for that matter couldn't match) into this world.
You lit your own path through you nice jog through life and even if people wouldn't admit that you've brightened their lives up, I'll admit mummy dearest, you've lit mine up pretty darn good.. you've always done your best to get sis, marky and me out of the dark.. always made sure we came first before anything... i remember how u gave my idiot p.1 chinese teacher a piece of your mind when you found out about the bad things he did to me hurrr.. (think he's needed hearing aids ever since Ha =D) and there's just so many things.. like when i was alone at home and all of you were in australia, you worried about me so much, about whether i was eating properly and everything that you cried (though u really shouldn't have cause i had everything under control lol.... i'm not your typical little boy okay?! lol)... yah...
basically i just wanna say

Happy Birthday Mummy dearest!! =D
lots of hugs, kisses, (oreo cheesecakes =X haha), and love from this tall, dark, gangly thing,
your son Mel... Je t'aime =)

*Now Playing Copeland - Priceless*

I remember when I'd run to you
In field of white flowers
Your embrace is my air
How I needed you there
And all of the world and
All of it's powers
Couldn't keep your love from me no
Couldn't keep your love from me

Cause I need you
Like the dragonflies' wings need the wind
Like the orphan needs home once again
Like heaven needs more to come in
I need you here like you've always been

Then I waved goodbye to you
From a field of white flowers
You were so proud of me
I was too proud to see that
All of the world and
All of it's power
Couldn't keep your love from me no
Couldn't keep your love from me

Cause I need you
Like the dragonflies' wings need the wind
Like the orphan needs home once again
Like heaven needs more to come in
I need you here like you've always been

Taking for granted
(taking for granted)
And all of her smiles
Could not be reminded
You got away

And now I'm looking up to you
From a field of white flowers
You were so proud of me
I'm so proud of you
All of the world and
All of it's power
Couldn't keep your love from me no
Couldn't keep your love from me

Cause I need you
Like the dragonflies' wings need the wind
Like the orphan needs home once again
Like heaven needs more to come in
I need you here
I need you
Like the dragonflies' wings need the wind
Like the orphan needs home once again
Like heaven needs more to come in
I need you here like you've always been

La da da da...
