Commentary: A letter to my children on parenthood, making sacrifices, and learning lessons with humilityMama was saddened to read about the historic low birth rates in Singapore last week.
#NGL, it really hasn't been easy bringing the both of you up. Even so, I cannot help but be amazed by what a beautiful experience it has been. In the past, I enjoyed meeting up with friends after a busy week at work: Suppers at Holland Village on Friday nights till 3am, then beach volleyball, cycling, and kayaking at Sentosa on Saturday mornings.
Both of you would often fall sick with coughs, flu and more. When Ah Mah could not take leave to help care for you, I would have to make many apologies and reschedule all my appointments for the day. I learnt to focus on what I could do best within my control. I learnt to be a resourceful multi-tasker, so that I could finish work and return to you as soon as possible.
I also learnt to gamify chores for you both: The washing machine’s buttons and knobs could spiral our clothes to “outer space”! Unleashing spray bottles of soap on our toilets became a game to kill bugs and viruses!I started my part-time Master's programme when you were four and two respectively.
