As I updated the friends, it suddenly dawned on me I have much to update!
I am so proud of them!
They have such Eventful lives that Seriously, I am Having a tough time to catch up myself!
Let's start with No. 2 She's sec 3, 3rd form, 9th grade whatever you call it.
By sheer hard work and Dogged determination, She got into A Maths class.
So what's so great about that? Hmmm, considering tuition is the norm No. 2 only had tuition for, like, a year.
Before term 2 was over, She was on her own So it is her effort That paid off.
On top of that, she is a great photographer. She is good. My colleague commended her for her arty shots. With a DSLR, I am sure She would soar to greater heights.... hehe
Oh, she is pretty accomplished as a Sketch artist. That, I have to give credit to Paternal genes... I can't draw a straight line with a ruler =)
& if she felt like it She could draw some cute cartoons too!
She also has an innate sense of rhythm... Been playing drums since 12, All she needs is to get beyond herself and start playing with a band!
Then, there is my no. 1... She's studying her associate degree Singing, Acting, In assembly shows Other projects That take her fancy....
& on her way to various places, Composes a song or two.
One may say I am Measuring her ability / success by the fact that she is 'working'.... and that there are people who are also working at the same age.
That, I beg to differ, for I am merely looking at the fact that She is doing all the things that She loves Packing her days That shames even working adults At an age where Her peers might still be Groping for directions In their lives.
Someone commented that She is doing everything he is aspiring to do Still, at the age of 21...
My baby no. 1 has just turned 17.
Did I say I am so proud of my girls? Well, I am, and I am not Afraid to admit it...
