There goes a saying...
and YES! I do admit I pretty much have some similarities with my mum in terms of attitude and habits. And these are just genes I got from her and some are really hard to accept that I am actually a photocopy of her in someways or the other.
I've chosen 10 similarities I felt I am "alike" her... (I think this is just the top 10 I wish to admit)
1. Short Tempered
Well, sad to say... YES! I inherited this bad quality from her! Well, I don't blame her totally but well, she gave birth to me and these are just genes that were passed on. I do loath the way she screams at me sometimes because of a small issue and it does make me think that my mum is really a "time bomb" at times. But as much as I complain about her unpredictable short temper, I was actually being told by my bf that I actually resemble her at times (´⊙ω⊙`)！Yes... And I actually think I'm turning into one crazy hormone imbalanced b*tch at times. Don't know if it's because of work stress or genes or that this kind of short tempered syndrome runs into random girls on planet earth. But well, I do have a subconscious mind that is constantly reminding me that the ugliness and health hazard that this will cause. So for now, I do try to make my mum happy from time to time, giving her small little surprises and also choosing the right words to say to her. Well, when she is happy, I too am happy. And this goes to all the people around me too. I learn from somehow or rather that short tempered can be cured by some meditations and having a different prospect you see of a situation. So ladies out there who can relate to me, THERE IS A CURE! And it's call "RELAX!"
2. Fickle Minded
I don't know why, both me and my mum are very fickle minded at times. But funny fact is when she is fickle minded on a situation, I'll jump into the picture to give her an advice and that actually helps her make her final decision. But well, she does give me advice from time to time, but I won't say I approve every one of it but I do take them into consideration.
3. Artsy
Just simply ARTISTIC. My mum is an interior designer and I do love to design my own things especially apparels and stuff, so I guess that brings us being similar in terms of the big huge bubble of ART! To me, being bold and different is how I love to look. My mum too! She isn't those typical Singaporean aunty you see hanging around supermarkets who are losing their sense of fashion. She does dress up well for her age I would say and although I do sometimes give harsh comments on certain outfits she wears mainly due to the fact that I work in the textile industry. And I am VERY particular on how one carries themselves in terms of their dress code.
4. Soft-Hearted
Yes! Weakness I feel! We forgive too easily.... Sometimes I do think this is a great disadvantage in a lot of situations. Especially when it comes to situations whereby people take advantage of this to like so-call make use of us! DAMN!
5. Stubbornness
Nothing much to say about this. The word just explains it ALL (~￣▽￣)~
6. Love for the Beach
Yup! Both of us just love BEACHES! It's just inborn that we love the sand and the sea. Everything just makes you feel so comfortable. In fact me and my mum can just hang out at the beach all day!
7. BLOOD TYPE
Haha! This has probably got to be the lamest similarity. But both of us are A+ while my 2 siblings are of another blood type.
8. Shopping
We ain't frequent shoppers but if we do, we are kinda hardcore. Well, like we can skip meals and just walk and shop for few days endlessly. So it's kinda horrifying at times seeing the amount of things we can pile up over a "shopping excursion", as I would call it.
9. Cuddle Buddy
Not that we both cuddle each other but we both do have a companion when we sleep. And that is a BEAR! My mum, despite her age, still has her bear with her and so do I. HAHA! This is probably some secret of hers that I am telling you all now. Shhhhh~
10. Unconditional Love
As true as the above sentence is... I do want to know my mum more and love her more as I only have ONE! And for her, no matter how she screams and scolds me, I do know she is just plain concern and loves me as much.
Do you have any similarities with your mum too?
