Being a Parent

It is hard being a Parent!

First, everybody thinks you know all the tricks in bring up kids. “NOT”
We all learn by making mistakes which kids blame us for that.

Second, we worry about them no matter how old they are, even after they get married. “YES”
We lost sleep when we couldn’t get hold of them especially they live out of the country and the kids think we are overly worried! They say, “Don’t worry; there is nothing you can do about it if bad things happened”. SIGH …..

REMEMBER all you people out there, keeping yourself in touch with the family at all time and keeping yourself safe and healthy are the best gifts for your parents that money can’t buy.

Coming up Wedding

My son (D) is getting marry this Winter in Los Angeles. We waited for the whole year and the excitement kind of wear off a bit. Today, I started to realize that I have to prepare for the (tea serving) ceremony during the banquet. Start shopping for jewelleries, white gold or yellow gold? Necklace with earrings or bangle with earrings? Do we give pearls? Why not? Pearl is gift of love, all brides wear pearl necklace! Should it be colour pearls or white pearls? Colour pearls are in style now but I never saw bride wears colour pearl necklace!! Decision, decision! It is going to be a small wedding because most of my family either too old, too sick or too far away to attend. I'm not surprise it is going to be one table of our family and the rest are the bride-to-be's family. Anyway, we'll try to make the best of it. I'm going to wear chung sum at the banquet. Should I change outfit during the banquet or should I wear the same all through the night? I have to change because I cannot dance in a chung sum! What happen if there is no dancing then why bother to change?! My son is so tight lips about the wedding and it is driving me crazy!!
