I know it's just me but sometimes I just find it hard to spend too much time with mum. Her mannerisms, thinking, and philosophies just irk me from time to time. In a sense I am grateful, cos I think she's better than many others. At least that's how I console myself. Knowing that I'll probably be like this one day makes me feel guilty whenever I think about the way or at least the thoughts that go through my mind whenever I communicate with her.
I almost raised my voice last night when I asked her to pass me the address of our hotel when we needed it. She innocently told me she left it back at the hotel. The reason I gave it to her was so that should we lose each other, she could always take a cab back if necessary since both our phones had no network at all. Knowing her, if she ever got lost, she would panic for sure. And since she had been blindly following us without noting any details at all, there was no way she would be able to make her way back. I am willing to bet she doesn't even know the name of the hotel we are staying at presently. So, being the 'considerate' son I was, I passed her the address to keep should an emergency arise, which she left at the hotel. Duh! Worse part is Koreans hardly speak a work of English.
That was only one of the incidents. I think maybe I expect too much out off her. I was at the prayer mountain yesterday and one of my prayers was that I will not treat her like an idiot. I think that was a test from God. Lol. Guess I failed big time. The rapture better come soon man. That will save me a lot of face since I will not grow too old and run the risk of someone writing about my old age in their blog......
