Last week, I was feeling extremely tired, and a bit of depressed. I guessed it was mainly due to work stress. I think it was sometime last Tues / Wed, I was feeling extremely lousy. Came back home, had dinner downstairs and as usual, I went back home first, leaving Rachel and Jon with my mum, to play with their friends downstairs.
Went Rachel came back home around 10+pm, after she had her bath, she went about to do her own writings and drawings. I called her but she just replied 'yes?' I told her, "Today Mummy feel very sad." Immediately, she dropped what she was doing, gave me her full attention, came over and sit on my lap and started asking why I was feeling sad. Is it because of my boss? Or what?
I told her, don't know leh. Maybe no one love me? Maybe it's my work lor. So many things to do and I'm so tired. So I was feeling sad lor. She immediately hugged and patted me and told me: "Mummy, I love you a lot. You don't be sad okay?" I was touched by her small gestures and wow.. of course, my heart felt so warm and happy. After a while, I told her to get ready to sleep as she has got school the next day. In our room, after I switched off the lights, she came over to me again, gave me a big kiss and hug and told me to sleep early. I felt like a small kid!
The next day after work, I went to the coffeeshop to join them and also to have my dinner. Rachel saw me, ran towards me with her sticky hands. I asked her what she wanted to do? Her hands were so sticky and she better don't touch me. She replied : "I want to hug you mah. Yesterday you feel sad, so today I want to give you a big hug again." I was so touched and yet ashamed as I told her not to touch me with her sticky hands earlier. I told her it's okay, later she go home, after she bathe then give me her big hug. Luckily she was okay with it.
Even when I went out partying with my friends last Friday, she called me around 11+pm saying that she wanted me to go home earlier. Told her will go back soon. She said okay and hang up. After she hang up, she told my mum that she's going to sleep in the living room and wait for me. So when I came back home at almost 1am, I saw her sleeping alone in the living room, I knew she was waiting for me. Felt a bit guilty for staying out late.
I realised that Rachel has indeed matured a lot. Learning to love and care. What more can I complain about her?? Well.. maybe still her single eyelid eyes.. :P

Hi Eileen,
Yeah, girls somehow are more sensitive to mommy's mood than boys.. : )
Happy to read that Rachel is maturing and please don't complain abt Single eyelid, they are equally beautiful... : 0

Hahaha... she's been complaining about Rachel's single eyelid since day 1 ;)
Well... now that I've got a daughter too, I would want to agree that daughters are more sensitive. Let's hope time will prove that theory right.
