Sacrifices of a Mother

Yesterday, I went to watch ' Money Not Enough 2' with my family. Before I watched, I've already set my mind which was the movie is funny. Well, it made me laughed and made me cried too...Maybe most of you had watched the movie, but I just want to share my feelings.

The mother has 3 sons, the eldest Ah Hui, 2nd son, Ah Keong and 3rd son, Ah Ong. Ah Keong and Ah Ong were very successful in their career but it's not so fortunate for Ah Hui. Then, Ah Ong invited Ah Hui to join his direct sale company, which sell a kind of pollen grain believed to have the ability to cure all kind of sicknesess. Then, Ah Hui managed to become the top sale and the manager of the company. He bought new car, new dress, new tv and brought his family, including his mother to watch F1. But, everyone will wake up from his/her sweetdreams eventually. Some problems occured. The pollen grains said to contain some chemicals which will cause food poisoning and fatal in serious cases. So, Ah Hui and Ah Ong lost everything. Then, Ah Keong, the so called smartest brother misused the company's money to buy a bunglow and his lawyer ran away with all his money. He too lost everything and shift to a rather small apartment. 3 of them have no money and no job, so they asked money from their mother. Poor mother, she kept her money in the biscuit can and she even gave her jewellery to her son. She felt very unhappy and disappointed, not because she lost her money, but because seeing her sons in trouble yet she can't do anything more to help them.

As usual, when a person grew old, all the 'machines' will not function well. So, the mother began to urine and shit without concious, can't walk properly and suffer from alzymer's desease. The 3 sons had a meeting to discuss about this matter and they decided to take care of the mother alternately. In Ah Keong's house, Ah Keong has no place for his mother to sleep and so he put his mother beside the toilet. The mother don't like the place but she told her son that the place was windy and comfortable. Then, in Ah Ong's house, Ah Ong put her in the toilet just because she urine and shit where ever she likes. She slept and ate in the toilet. Meanwhile in Ah Hui's house, she has a most wonderful moment there but all her grandchildrens did care bother about her. Her 3 sons will talked about what they did to their mother proudly, it's just so pathetic. They should have felt ashamed with themselves for not able to take care of their mother while their mother raised them as men single-handedly.

Day by day, she became weaker and weaker and her sons decided to send her to the old folks home. As she stepped into the old folks home, she asked the lady,"Is this an old folks home?" The lady told her no, it's a place where old people feel happy. However, she can't see an smiling faces in that place. She realised that that place was indeed an old folks home, she quickly turned over to Ah Hui. Guess what? Ah Hui ran away from the gate as fast as possible. Tears came rolling down her cheeks and she shouted for her son, then, she fainted. Ah Hui quickly rushed back to her and sent her to the hospital. This was the part where I first cried.

She was in coma for a few days and one of Ah Ong's friend taught him a way to make his mother 'go' faster as the hospital fees were very expensive. So, the 3 brothers decided to burn the praying paper. Ah Keong quickly put of the fire when the paper is half-burnt. They couldn't do it after all. Suddenly, there was a serious internal bleeding in their mother and they need O- blood in large amount while O- blood is very hard to find. On the other scene, Ah Keong's wife and daughter, Stella met an accident. Stella was badly injured and she needed O- blood too but unfortunately the hospital has only 2 packets of O- blood left and that 2 packets were for their mother. Ah Keong was so dilemma, he don't know what to do at that moment, he don't know whether to save his mother or his daughter. Both were his love one and now he has to choose either one of them. Ah Keong's wife was fighting for that 2 packets of blood and their mother heard it. Flashbacks about her life during her stay in her sons house, that scene was so so so so touching and pity with the background song and I cried like hell when I saw it. She worked so hard, whole life busy for her 3 sons, tried to give the best to her sons but her sons treated her in such a way. So, she decided to save her grandaughter's life instead of her life. She pulled away the oxygen mask and she died. Her entire life was meant for her family, until her last breath, she still wanted to give her family the best. All the sacrifices she made cannot be paid back by just telling thank you. You just can't pay back even with your whole life.

The another reason why I cried so much is because she looked like my grandmother. My grandmother's look was exactly the same as her before she left us behind. Then, my mother's side grandmother also suffered from alzymer's desease and I'm afraid my mum will get it too as alzymer's desease is inherited. I scared that one day my mum will turn to become like their mother. However, there's one thing I'm very sure. I'm very sure that I won't let my mum suffer like their mum did. To be obidient to my parents is God's command and I will not dare to disobey it....
