A long lost friend called a couple of days ago, updating me about her life. She bragged about her high flying career, globe trotting lifestyle, her new Bukit Timah apartment blar blar... She called me silly to have hung up my degree and years of experiences to be a stay at home mom. I began to ponder about what she said....
There are really times that I feel fustrated and wish I am back in office again. But it is ultimately the decision of what I like and what I love in my life. Having a career is definitely what I would like. Being call a career woman, earning at least S$60,000 a year, have my own car, my own lady's platimum card, wearing the heels and power suit is of cos what I would like to have. However, u may call me a loser that I have decided to drop out of the rat race. The cancerian nature in me has chosen what I love in life, i.e, to let 2 little champion sperms into my womb and start growing in my tummy for 39 weeks and 36 weeks respectively. The result is Julian and Garwyn. This is the most wonderful thing I have done in my life! It is a MIRACLE that GOD has created and I am continuing it. And God is so nice to me that he has given me not one but two beautiful sons who have inherited the best of their Aunties features - lovely dimples!
People will greet u as a director, boss or even Dr (if u have a doctorate) but nothing beats when your kids call u "MOMMY". This is PRICELESS! In office, your boss will often say "NO ONE is indispensable." but my children can't live without me. Julian will cry out for Mommy whenever he is into some kinda of troubles and Garwyn will hold on to me like a koala bear to sleep every night.... Now my satisfaction neither comes from promotion nor praises from superiors but from people who praises my children. I can proudly tell them they are my kids!
Actually, I still holds a very important job! I am an investor. My children are my potential assets and if I don't nurture them well, they will become liabilities. Who knows, I may be in process of nurturing a future founder of a multi-billion co., a Prime Minister or a President of a state. Then I'll be able to get Julian and Garwyn to back-pay me my annual income of Hmmmmm... S$100,000 multiply by x no of years of being call "ah soh". Ha ha....
