Milestone

Last Wednesday was Chap Goh Mei. For the first time, My wife and I had to go for this annual Chap Goh Mei family dinner. Just 15 days ago on Chinese New Year Eve, our family was represented by 4 members. In less than 2 weeks, my 2 sons have left home for further study overseas.

In the past, we went as a family of 5, then 4 after our daughter went overseas for further study; then 3 after our 1st son left home for further study in KL. Now, our youngest son has also left for further study. That leaves 2 of us.

Well, this is another milestone, another fact of life I have to cross and get used to. There are countless of milestones to cross, from the day you are born. Saying Pa and Ma for the first time, taking the 1st step with 2 legs upright, celebrating 1st birthday, going to kindergarten for the 1st time, graduating from kindie, UPSR, PMR, SPM, A-Level ........ the list on milestones goes on.

Hi dad... great blog. You're really getting into the latest trends such as being part of this new blogging craze.
I'm very touched by the thoughts you shared such as the milestones that each of us has gone through seen through your eyes.
No matter how many milestones we have passed, the new milestone never cancels out the previous ones. So we will always be your children and you and mom will always be our parents
