Dad and Mum just told me this just now:

你一直是爸爸妈妈心目中的乖孩子，我们不会要求你考到第一，因为你在爸爸妈妈心目中已经是第一名了。

I didn’t doubt and will never want to doubt the above sentence, for I know how true it is. This sentence, it may be labelled as the ‘as the saying goes…’ and as cliche as it may sound, I know that in my case it applies perfectly because my

I want myself to do well in life, no matter in what I do, but I never really wanted and needed to be ‘first’ (which is also why my competitive level as assessed by the qualitative computer test is really rather low lol), but the utmost support and love I am receiving from my parents, it’s unconditional because they have always encouraged me to put ‘what I want’ to do way way way before ‘what I should’ do.

Choosing to take up the Diploma in Hospitality & Tourism Management course in Temasek Polytechnic instead of the junior college way, that was my decision which they well supported me to. Then came another junction where I had to choose what I want to ‘major’ and where I should do it at, and I was certain I wanted to continue this journey of Hospitality & Tourism, applying to EHL and now here in Lausanne, Switzerland challenging myself.

At this point in time, I find myself crying again… when did I ever cry so much?! I thought I always attempted to look as if I’m a really strong girl, but guess this is the kind of love from my parents I’m fortunately basking in that I could cry all over and over again.

They added on by saying that they don’t want me to bottle up my emotions here but to always share with them. They are always glad I’m sharing so much with them because even though there may be limited they can do, the least they could offer are their advices, experiences and love.

I am having a little difficulty breathing here… I shall put a stop to this post, because the above is probably sufficient to say for how I feel today :’)

I love you Daddy & Mummy. Thank you so much, too much.
