Today, as promised, I took my dear mother to Cabazon for what I thought would be a quick, easy and trouble-free shopping trip. But I obviously under estimated the power, endurance, ruthlessness and determination of a Chinese middle age shopaholic.
It was truly a site to see, but despite all the hassels, I did enjoy spend time with mommy since she's heading back in about one month. All in all, we had interesting conversations on the way there, and in between her shopping breaks (not on the way back though cause toward the end, I got pretty annoyed with her on how much she had bought for her friends and relatives....nothing for herself btw which sucks).
Anywho, from our conversations, it is very apparant that she still worries for me and my younger sis the most. For my sis, she is concerned about where she is going with her career, the guy she is dating, etc. etc. typical stuffs. As for me, she basicall thinks (in a Chinese proverb) that my "shoulders" need to be stronger and tougher to carry on my responsiblities, not only to myself and the family, but to the ones I truly care for.
To that, all I can say is that I will do my best :P
