Is it almost October ?

I love how Qinzhi throws her hands open and ask for hugs

One morning Qinzhi woke up and went to exercise. And I am so proud of her and her decision

HuaiHao and I saw her at the canal and I shouted out her name

And we texted each other and happened to do the same thing at the same time. That is taking a photo of each other

And on another occasion she gave a squeal because her composition got selected and featured

Somehow or other , Qinzhi is taking up a path of writing and I know she can be a good writer. The basic qualities of one is to be able to experience, interpret and express emotions . And she does it better than me.

And this point brings me to understand yet again how parents inspire children. Often times, there are aspects of us which echo our parents, and in big and little ways, we are “inspired “

But how can we apply awareness so that we zoom in on the good and not let the “can be better “ affect us?

And before long, Qinzhi is in her last leg of secondary two. In a few weeks she is going to take her exams and be in upper secondary- a senior.

I think this year Qinzhi learnt a lot about managing emotions. And how emotions affect her physical well being- in almost painful ways

I hope she has a clear understanding of how the ways the mind affects the body and can achieve better control .

And need I say- this has to start from us parents?

One night I was busy at work and Qinzhi texted me this

I love how she says it. She wants it and says it. Many times we don’t dare to ask from our parents what we want- what we do want. But Qinzhi and HuaiHao does it daringly. Almost teaching me . And of course I did it what she wanted.

We have bonded so well over kpop we enjoy watching it together and make plans to watch shows on Netflix together going nuts about kpop idols . I want to even take her to see someone we both like if there is an opportunity and be a little bit crazy

On a Saturday, Qinzhi’s friends come home and she did a dance practice with them. And I love it. It was something I didn’t really do when I was younger in my teens and happy she gets to experience what it feels like to do things she enjoys with friends

And even happier I made friends with hers

I can’t wait for Qinzhi to finish her exams so I can spend some time with her, brunch, shopping doing girly things

May Qinzhi be always protected , guided and blessed by the divine .
