Who am I?

Today, i was asked a series of thought provoking questions that forced me to examine who I really am.
Who am I?
What kind of person are you?
Who do you seek approval from? God? People around me?

Interesting. Self actualization questions indeed. I think it's time to understand myself better. I always thought I do but somehow, my perception of myself is different from what an outsider sees of me.

Why do I constantly want to create an impression on people whom I meet? Instead of being someone whom I think people want me to be, why not be myself? But who am I, really? Who do I want to be?

I want to learn more about myself. Maybe I should start a journey on self discovery.

Do you know who you are?

Comforting

Placing my hands on his chest, I hope to give him comfort amidst his state of panic and fear.
Placing my hands on his head, I pray for his headache to go away.
Stroking his arm, I give him the reassurance that he will be fine soon.

Don't say you are unlucky all your life, pa. You have lots of people who care about you. You have ma, me and peilan. You have your grandchildren. You have have nothing much to worry in your life right now if you want to leave. Just know that we want to care for you like how you care for us when we were young.

CNY 2011

This is a very much delayed post.. but like what they said... better late than never. This was our annual CNY 2011 activities.. the kids are much older this year and are able to appreciate and learn about the rules of CNY. As usual, paying respect to their elders are a must on the 1st day...

You are 6, Nat!

Happy 6th Birthday Nat!

Went to Ascension Kindercare to celebrate Nat's birthday this afternoon. She invited Matthias over to her class and he gladly obliged. In fact, she has waited for this day for the entire week. You can see her elated expression on her face when i arrived.. and she kept hugging me with that big grin on her face. She is so proud of her cake too. Matthias was surprisingly co-operative today too, helping Nat to give out cake, presents and stickers to her classmates.

You grow fast, Nat Nat.. soon, you will be 10 yrs old, and after that you will be 16 yrs old.. and growing into teenager.. Mummy will miss you then cos by then you would prefer to celebrate your birthday with your friends than me... ;)
