I see her time till August is almost full...with conferences, workshops, more internship interviews...another interview at petronas tower level 57.Interview junkie ke hapa budak ni.But Momma is proud,ok gal? Wish you all the best.Remember the slogan: it's OK to fail. haha.
I made time to listen to her endless stories about her friends.A fine lady was trying to impress a fine young man.At a function at this fine young man's home, the musicians were playing mozart..the boy told the gal..ahhh...i love classical music..Gal said: me too.Boy:Did you enjoy that wonderful piece by Mozart? Gal: ha? yah yah..that was fabulous (her cousin gave her an aside: you knew it was Mozart??)
I find this sooo cute.
Then there's another interesting friend..half French, half Malay. There was a family tradition in which gifts were given if a child lost a tooth (the tooth must be placed under the pillow).The French mom had not continued this tradition with the older kids but with a younger one, she did recently.The little one was pleasantly surprised.She thought it was the mouse that gave it to her.In her next trip to the dentist, she pleaded that all her teeth were taken out!
She lost another one but mom forgot to put the gift that nite.The little one was convinced when her mom told her the mouse got stuck in a traffic jam.Guling2.
The next morning, the little one asked if the mouse could get her a gift from The Girls.Mak dia dah beli pencil case NOT from The Girls.She said er...the mouse would not know where to buy The Girls' stuffs.
For parents with young children: does not this remind you of the moments when you have to lie a bit to make the little ones happy/motivated,etc? I had my moment or two too when Z was growing up.Well at least one lie..to make her lose her weight at 12.We told her she'd get her mobile phone.She lost a lot but only got her mobile ph at 17...5 years later.We didn't want her to bergayut too early.
Better late than never. :)
