My relationship with my mom was never smooth sailing. When my dad passed away unexpectedly a day after my GCE-O level results were released, both my world and hers, especially came crashing down because he was the love of her life and she depended on him on all aspects of life. I did not make it easy for her, with my rebellious streak during my teenage years, quarrelling with her day in and out, to the point of wanting to move out because I felt she just could not see things my way. Only years after, I realised that it was me who refused to see things her way. When I got married and became busy with my own family and kids, I neglected my responsibilities towards her and took her for granted without realising it.
Then she was diagnosed with colon cancer and after rapidly losing a lot of weight in a short span of a month, the realisation of her mortality hit me hard. I did all I could to help her: brought her to all her appointments, a month daily of radiotherapy sessions, made sure she took her chemo drugs correctly, applied for financial aid to pay for her drugs and hospitalisations post surgeries, change her colonostomy bags whenever it needs changing, etc. Seeing her slowly regain her strength and weight, albeit not a 100% was all I could ever hope for and I am thankful to Allah for it.
So I do not have a particular fond memory of her because everyday that I get to see, touch and talk to her is a fond memory I will continue having as long as I can.

It all started when covid came to our daily life 3 plus years ago. My mom requested me to be around her during this uncertainties situation, so i did pack my bags from Johor Bahru to Singapore, as a Singaporean is good to be back home during this hard times so we all can be around our loved ones. So i decided to go into covid operations, learned so much but hoping it will go away, but it stayed with us for quite a bit. So with all the experience, i used it to take care of my mom, suddenly my mom fell sick into the 2years of covid years. My heart fell apart, she was diagnosed with heart problems, she need to go through surgeries/ops during that time i was speechless&sad. That is where i stood down and think for quite a bit, suddenly my head was telling me, lets do delivery, with no experience, no form of transportation i start goggling about e-bikes and do the necessary things to own e-bike, and started talking to people's doing deliveries, that's where Deliveroo caught my interest, "FLEXIBILITY" is the correct word to label Deliveroo. Back then i needed off days, rest day but not now, i work almost everyday while taking care of my mother together with the help of my elder brother, me & my brother will rotate to take turns taking care of our lovely Mother❤️. With Deliveroo platform, i can plan my work schedule effectively. 1year 4month now still on it and happy with this platform. Im responsible for my Mom wellbeing and also responsible as a Deliveroo delivery rider. There will be negative remarks, review on this job, but i guess this world still in need of delivery riders, it is what it is. I would like to wish all mothers around the world happiest mother day moments🌍❤️.
I would like to say thank you to all Deliveroo customers for ordering so we riders have food to deliver to get paid from that, really appreciate🙏. To Deliveroo, thank you for this opportunity even is a part-time job (FreelanceRider) we gain from this🙏💯 ThankYou!!!
