Dear Renee,
Remember this picture? I want you to remember it as clearly as I did, the day when your smile seemed gentle but to me it has sparks that surfaced from your heart. That day, left me with an indelible memory. I guess it does the same on you too.
Your personality: INFP PERSONALITY (“THE MEDIATOR”)
INFP personalities are true idealists, always looking for the hint of good in even the worst of people and events, searching for ways to make things better. While they may be perceived as calm, reserved, or even shy, INFPs have an inner flame and passion that can truly shine.
You have grown up well and have your own thinking, ideas, friends and all. We trust and blessed that in you, you have a pair of invisible wings, strong heart, kindness and steadiness. We called it ‘well-rooted personality to embark into your teenage and adults life’. Mommy is glad that you are ready to take off but as parents, it wouldn’t be easy for us to let even deep down we admit you have grown up and matured enough.
From the moment we decided to settle down in Singapore onwards, Mommy knew that our life is going to be different. Remember how we walked to child-care from Simei apartment? How we both sleep in a small and not-too-good air-conditioned room. I felt extremely bad for you but our life was miserably good somehow.
Those were the time when we really bond, when I really only focused my time on you. How I missed the days when I fetched you from child care and being warmed by your sweet smile. The smile that silently telling me, ‘oh! Finally you are here Mommy’. The only assurance I could give you is to hug you longer. At times, we just ate at the Changi hospital’s canteen. You will request to play below the small tiny playground below our Simei apartment. With just me most of the time, to juggle between you and work, I have indirectly crafted a strong “you” personality. Perhaps, not sure, maybe you were born naturally strong, matured and not to mention, extra sensitive. We are incredibly blessed to have you as part of our family. Thanks for choosing us 😊
Missed those days when you are still so little. The days when you can’t differentiate between ‘ask’ and ‘tell’. The days when you told me you wanted to be a ‘air Stewardess’.
Now that you have grown up having a steady characteristic and your pleasant attitude assured us many a times and we are almost at worried-less state. Although, cannot deny that at times Mommy still felt annoyed seeing you staring at phone too much – is like you have not occupying your time wisely. Like I said, is better that you spent well-focused of 1 to 2 hr revising than doing 10hr of alternate between phone and revising.
You are progressing faster than mommy could catch up to despite me trying hard to close our gaps. Struggling at times trying truly to be more connected. Fear of losing touch with you; the Y-Generation kids. Please bare with Mommy for at least give me a chance to be more connected. I will try my best. Please keep me updated too :p Thanks for new vocabulary to my dictionary – Lub which means love
You may think yourself as a timid girl but you are far braver than any kids I knew. Dare to go school alone and go home alone at the age of 8. Incredibly, you can survive under any circumstances. Amazing girl! Sometimes too brave that I don’t choose to believe when at times I would ask again to re-assure, ‘are you sure you are ok?’ 随心饮片, anything also can.
Lovely girl you are. You will get angry when you sensed Ryan did something that could hurt me. These gestures of you demonstrate that you really care for Mommy. You bothered too much that you just burst out and explode, unknowing became rude to Ryan. Can’t deny that you care for me too much, that you really wanted me to be happy. Dearly appreciated. Maybe can try more gentle to Ryan next time.. Like 开玩笑way
You have grown (I know I said that many times)! It’s like you grown in a flash of light, too fast. Happy to see you moving into your new stage of life, secondary and soon higher secondary levels, in your best way. Fortunately, you enjoyed your school, happy with your friends and blend in well into your CCA. Hope you continue to cherish all that are coming along your life. Bitter, sweet or tough – all are part of your moments of experience. Mommy and daddy sincerely wished you the best in health and happiest in life. Remember that we LUB you the most. Fall back to us anytime you need.
We are glad for you are an obedient girl and have trusted Mommy thus far. Perhaps, Mommy truly too influential at times but hope I did not brain washed you unknowingly – coz you have very unique ideas thou. Continue to be an obedient girl okay?
You will not believe how thankful Mommy is for having you as my wonderful Daughter. You helped out a lot in taking care of your Brother – taking care of his meal at times, his education and also character craving. I have to salute for you kindness, selflessness and patient in handling all that come by. How would our lives be without you as part of our family. Deeply blessed 🙏🏻
Amazingly, in you, you are too calm. At times, when Mommy at stress and yield, you will just keep cool and never fight back even you are not at the wrong side. Thanks for being there for Mommy always.
Once a while, Mommy starts telling you stories about my passed, my real emotion & my real thoughts. That’s not for you to judge or to comment. Is because I know you are matured and tough enough to understand how cruel and scary the real world is.
Lastly, we do not want you to end your glory just at primary level. You are capable to climb higher – trust Mommy. Do not slacken. Trust in your ability and always challenge yourself to go higher. Just like how you challenge yourself by telling me that you wanted to do 5km with 6min pace. Everything is possible just do not limit your imagination. Same goes to telling yourself that 4 GPA is achievable and it’s possible 👍🏻
Wishing you with best in health and happiest in live. Fall back on us, we always be there for you.
