Dear Struan

  

Three years ago today, you gave me the most excruciating pain of bringing you out to this world. I remember Daddy's voice on my ear, “it’s okay, this is gonna be the last.” LOL. However, your first cry fell on deaf ears as I fainted shortly after letting you out and I can only see you through the oxygen mask on my face. You really had me at hello =]

You were such a good baby all along, I keep saying, it’s easier the second time around. But you have also showed us what Terrible Two is really like. We were drawn to your charm & wittiness, we didn't mind being twisted around your little finger. On the flipside, you constantly amaze us with your budding motor skills and increasing vocabulary.

You are very different from your brother, both of you having very distinctive qualities. You're equally sweet, but most days you are like cats and dogs. It's now double trouble. My attention span has gone shorter, but my patience longer. Nonetheless you make us proud and happy twice over. 

Happy Birthday, Struan!

Love Mom.

I started with blogspot in June 2009 but was not writing a lot until this year. The blog evolved for a bit, now it's a hodge podge of all things worth sharing to a bigger pool.

As Oprah said in her Farewell show:

Each one of you has your own platform. Do not let the trappings here fool you. Mine is a stage in a studio, yours is wherever you are with your own reach, however small or however large that reach is. Maybe it’s 20 people, maybe it’s 30 people, 40 people, your family, your friends, your neighbors, your classmates, your classroom, your co-workers. Wherever you are, that is your platform, your stage, your circle of influence. That is your talk show, and that is where your power lies. In every way, in every day, you are showing people exactly who you are. You’re letting your life speak for you.

Welcome to my new talk show - Life is a Hotpot.

The best place we'd eat our KFC is at home, with gravy...

and rice!
