Like mother, like daughter

HONG KONG: Rowena Lam doesn't spend too much time away from home.

She juggles a busy schedule with work as a guest relations officer at a four-star hotel in Tsim Sha Tsui and pleasing obliging friends who want to go shopping and drink until late in the night.

Still, Lam, 22, always makes sure she has time for one important person in her life.

After a long week tending to the needs of guests, she knows someone who is always happy to look after her needs.

"My mother scolds me if I don't spend time with her during the week," Lam says. "She keeps asking me when I will be home and why we don't spend more time together."

Behind her exasperation in trying to squeeze in time for her mother, Lam's smile reveals her true feelings the sense of comfort she has known that she always has someone in her life who cares about her and makes her feel valued.

When asked how she and her mother spend their time together, she answers simply, "We don't need to go out. Just having dinner with me at home is enough for her."

When it comes to escaping from the everyday pressures of work and making money, or dealing with men who have romance on their minds, it seems that for many women in Hong Kong, there is no better person to turn to than mum.

Over in Aberdeen, Soo Ki, 29, is another Hong Kong professional whose mother is more of a best friend than a nagging parent. She regularly forsakes dates so that she can spend more time with the one person she knows she can trust.

"My mother and I live together," she says, without divulging the reason for her father's absence. "We spend every Sunday together, going for yum cha and then spending the whole afternoon getting a massage and a facial. So when my friends want to go out, I tell them never to call me on Sunday because I'm not available. And if a boy calls to ask me out, I'll tell him 'no'."

For Soo Ki, the thought of spending time away from her mother never crosses her mind. "At the moment, I never make plans to be with anyone on Sundays. And of course, I want to spend time with her. She is my mother."

Helen shares similar sentiments. She describes her relationship with her mother as "sister-like." Kitty also believes the bond with her mother has a lot to do with being able to relate to each other as women as well as her mother's ability to understand her. Po Yee admires the unselfish way her mother has cared for her family.
