Mom's Journal: Another Family Milestone

I remembered way back in 2007, we enrolled into the MBA program just before we got married. All the way till somewhere last year, we became great multi-taskers, juggling between studies, kids, work etc etc etc. Caris "studied" with me in my tummy and when she was born, she "studied" and did assignment with us as well..



It sounded like an impossible mission, but studying together kept us motivated. Some coursemates thought that our assignments would be almost similar (copy each other), however ours was totally different as we didn't have much time to talk about studies at home and assignments were done during office free time or way past midnight.

During night classes and exams, we had to get the babysitter's help to take care Caris, and we only fetched her after she fell asleep way past 10pm. Whenever we had team discussion at night, we had to bring Caris along. When assignment due date was drawing near and we had no time, we would drive all the way back to my hometown to "park" Caris, and spent the whole day in Starbucks to focus on finishing our assignments. When Chloe came along, thank God we have only minor tasks to complete else I wouldn't imagine how life would have been.

Finally, I'm glad we did it, and words couldn't express how I felt taking our family photo with both of us in convo robes with our 2 kids. It was a mission impossible made possible.


Thanks to my mum who would travel to Penang anytime we needed help to care for the kids, so that we had time to study for exams & complete our consultancy project/ assignments. Thanks to dad who drove mum to and from the airport.

I hope we're able to inspire the 2 kids with this achivement.
