And so, Sec 2 is done.

Qinzhi finally finished with her end of year exams and is relaxing into the holidays. A few days back though, somehow, during dinner, Qinzhi was so triggered. It might have to do with the unstable energies at home, as Daddy was feeling low.

It happened once he said, the usage of Qinzhi’s phone would be dependent on her results, and Qinzhi went into this frenzy of high emotions.

At first she said she was triggered because of the fact that Daddy mentioned she was not good in math, later on she shrieked and shouted out how she was trying her best, but no one can see.

I wonder if this is an echo of her daddy’s state of mind too. Or for that matter, how most of us are feeling-we are all trying our best, yet, people closest to us cannot see.

Can you?

That said, she had a lot of yummy moments. It was mid autumn festival and we received a number of beautiful mooncakes. And that is Qinzhi doing her unboxing.

We received a beautiful delivery of a mont blac

Mommy bought sweets too, dairy free ones, sugar free ones for Qinzhi so she could still enjoy her sweets with less stuff that would not work for her

And there was a day when I had to be out at work for dinner and Qinzhi and Huaihao had to cook rice and warm up the soup. Thats’s Qinzhi trying to work with the instructions.

And soon enough, Mommy’s birthday came. The kids serenaded me with presents kisses and hugs. Qinzhi wrapped up daddy’s present for me. And she specially went to parkway to print out this photo of her and huaihao inside on the premise of wanting to have cake. I can’t thank Qinzhi enough for carrying mommy in her heart as she headed out after school to print out the photo.

And I received birthday wishes from her friends too-too happy! too blessed!

Everyone was so looking forward to dinner at Summer Pavilion. We had lots of good food and cakes! Mommy is just glad the family got to spend some time together and we were so pampered by chef!

And I love how Qinzhi smiles and she is such a big girl now. I love how she takes photos and her angles she chose.

I love how we both are bingeing on kpop dramas into the night, side by side on the sofa. I love how Qinzhi laughs at me the way I fashioned my IG posts, and how she tutors me and guides me to being more “contemporary ” with my choice of fonts and gifs.

My dear girl if so grown up now. And I love it that she can wear my clothes and I can gift my precious clothes to her and I can put hers on me.

We had dinner yesterday and she gave some very wise words to her dad who is feeling demoralised after some work incidents. Qinzhi recommended daddy sleep. Qinzhi also recommended daddy find a pal or someone whom he can talk to -to say out all that he needs in his heart.

I love Qinzhi even though I don’t say this out loud enough. And Qinzhi is the one, who always offers me hugs -because she knew I needed.

I always remember holding her little hand when she was 4 or 5 and I would take her to Yamaha. I was feeling totally zapped of energy, but holding her hand in mine, gave me every bit of energy I needed to take the next step.

May you be well and happy Qinzhi darling!
