If you have been participating in our Mother's Day contest last month, we'd like to thank you for your participation. We had asked you to share
with us on how you spent Mother's day and what it meant to you. We received many entries: some were
funny, some were cute while others were very touching. Here are our picks for the blog:

Binti Mohd Salleh Setiap tahun saya
dan adik beradik seramai 11 orang semuanya (termasuk dua orang kakak
ipar), pasti akan menyambut setiap Hari Jadi, Hari Ibu Dan Hari Bapa serta
menjadikan setiap perayaan tersebut untuk mengeratkan hubungan kekeluargaan
antara kami. Namun bagi tahun
ini, Abah telah dimasukkan ke hospital empat hari sebelum Hari Ibu berikutan
darah tinggi yang kronik. Selama Abah berada di hospital, Mama tidak pernah letih
menjaga abah siang malam bagi memastikan keadaan abah pulih seperti sediakala. Untuk menceriakan
keadaan yang tiba-tiba suram akibat kerisauan terhadap keadaan abah, kami adik
beradik telah membuat perancangan untuk membuat kejutan untuk mama. Jam 8.45pagi pada 10
Mei 2009, kami telah tiba di wad abah ditempatkan. Walaupun belum tiba waktu
melawat, Along telah berjaya memujuk pengawal yang bertugas untuk membenarkan
kami 11 orang. Setelah masuk, mama yang sedang memberi sarapan kepada abah agak
terkejut melihat kehadiran kami. Kami terus salam dan memeluk mama sambil
mengucapkan 'Selamat Hari Ibu'. Dari riak wajah mama, dapat saya lihat wajah
terharu beliau. Namun pada kami semua itu belum cukup untuk membalas jasa mama
kepada kami dan keluarga ini. Mama, terima kasih
atas budi dan jasamu. Kami sayang mama. Yang Ikhlas, Anak-anak

By Firdaus My mother is
illiterate but she is the best. During my growing years, she woke up early to
prepare breakfast and cater to our needs. Without fail, she whispered
encouragement words before we went to school. When I was in
Standard One, I had to complete a full page of alphabet ‘S’ as my school
homework of which I was clueless. Being a small kid, I cried.
Neither my mother nor father could help because both are illiterate! My mother
consoled me and said nothing is impossible in this world. That windy night, she
brought me to our neighbour’s daughter who taught me and finally I completed my
homework. ‘Nothing is impossible
in this world’ is part of my principal in life. She instilled more
values in me but due to limited space, I have to stop here. Mother, you are my
inspiration. Thanks for all your soothing advice, love and
patience. It is my moment to shower you with the greatest love. End
of this month, you will undergo another eye cataract operation. Let me be
with you again similar to last year and we reflect back those sweet memories
that mould me to be who I am today.... Mothers are unique,
irreplaceable and indispensable". This was the message I uttered to my mum
on this very special day. This year, the celebration was very different from
usual. It is my first time away from home studying abroad but the thoughts for
Mother's Day still remains in my heart. As pure as it may
sound, a little card, though tiny sums up all my messages is
what she did not expect to receive on Mother's Day this year. We missed the
constant "arguments" we used to have back home but her gentle voice
over the telephone sheds tears and laughter whenever we misses each other.
Nonetheless, my mother is who she is. She is sweet, simple and loving. Thanks very much
once again for participating and sharing with us! PS: Father’s Day is just around the corner. Take time to tell him you care :) From all of us here at JobStreet.com, thank
you!
