superwoman

i may have been named after lynda carter, the actress of superwoman, but the real superwoman has got to be my mum. yadayadayada.. i know all mothers are superheroes... but i gotta insist that my mum is DA real thing

a petite woman with a strong head and firm mind. got married at age 23. pregnant with me soon after, unplanned as i learn later on, with the setting up of her first shop single-handedly, and managing it everyday of the week for 12 hours. and opening a second and third later on. while most of us are still whining about graduation or the start of working life at 23, she was already decently rich and succesful. that's just part one. anyone who has taken dinner at my home while my mum is back will know that she's a great cook, a good cleaner, a meticulous house keeper. i don't know many succesful career woman who are actually succesful good cooks and cleaners.

i can tell she's not very satisfied with the way i'm handling my life and career, if it's existent at all... how i'm going to fully support myself, and my parents, how i'm going to repay her the S$350 000 spent for my US college education.. arrrgghhh. i'm not a superwoman even though i'm and have been striving very hard to be one. her health has taken a beating lately, it's no wonder with all that workoholic stress she has been handling all these years, not forgetting the rich unhealthy diet.

we're jogging tomorrow morning at the park, so that's a good start :)
