聽媽媽的話

no no... not inspired by gay chou's song but a book by mitch albom - for one more day.

the story toks about this man, a drunken who neglected his family(sounds 老掉牙 rite?). his wife eventually left him and he was not even invited to his daughter's wedding. when he received the wedding photos, he was so devastated he drove all the way back to his old house, comtemplating of suicide. along the way, he committed suicide.

but amazingly, he did not die but found himself back at his old village. wat was even more amazing was he saw his mother who was supposed to have passed away a decade ago. his mother was back for him... cooking for him, toking to him and all his childhood memories came back in flashes. times when he did not stand up for his mum, times when his mum stood up for him...

very touching... u shd read if you have the time... after reading, i feel the urge to love my mum more and stop throwing tantrums at her (even when she switch to her loudspeaker, broken recorder mode lol). better start loving ur mum, ur family before you regret...
