Life as a parent is a beautiful whirlwind of emotions, filled with moments that make our hearts swell with pride. Here are some updates on my daughters, each carving their unique paths in life.
Cass, my resilient figure skater, had a big day today. Rising with the sun at 6 am, her dad sent her to the skating rink before 7 am for her figure skating test – first with pre-test practice and then the actual test. Hours of practice and dedication culminated in a successful outcome – she passed her fourth test! Despite the early mornings and rigorous training regimen, Cass’s passion for figure skating remains unwavering. Her commitment to two to three times per week on-ice practice, coupled with daily off-ice sessions at the gym and at home, is a testament to her dedication and love for the sport. She celebrated her passing with pizza, chips, and Bundaberg root beer, all courtesy of her loving grandma.
Meanwhile, Alycia, my spontaneous adventurer, surprised us all with an impromptu decision to jet off to Hong Kong with her grandma. With her semester break looming and no concrete plans in sight, she seized the opportunity for a spontaneous holiday. Just like that, she booked her air tickets late last night, ready to embark on a week-long adventure in the vibrant city in eleven days, adding yet another stamp to her growing passport. It will be her fourth time in Hong Kong. She will fly back to KL on her own after a week’s stay in Hong Kong while her grandma will fly to London to visit her eldest daughter.
And that’s not all – Alycia’s travel bug doesn’t stop there. She’s also gearing up for a train journey to Perlis and then to Penang with her friends this weekend. This girl is living her best life!
As for Sherilyn, my thoughtful planner, she’s gearing up for a getaway of her own. With her semester break in full swing, she’s eagerly anticipating a trip to Penang with her friends next week. However, the temptation looms as Alycia’s escapades in Hong Kong beckon. Despite her desire to join her sister on this exciting adventure, Sherilyn understands the importance of financial responsibility. Having recently purchased an iPhone 14 that costs over RM3k with my assistance, she’s diligently saving up to repay me in ten installments. It’s a lesson in financial accountability that she’s taking to heart, even if it means missing out on a holiday abroad.
As I reflect on these updates, I’m filled with a sense of pride and admiration for my daughters. Each one embodies their unique blend of passion, spontaneity, and responsibility, carving out their paths in life with unwavering determination.
