@jentleheart 4 boys! I can’t imagine how busy you were when they were young, and how challenging it could be. But I agree with you, when children are growing up, we seem to have more time for ourselves as they learned to take care of themselves and others too.

It’s so nice to see our children growing up, isn’t it? I am sure you are very proud of your eldest son. He is not only a grown up, but I am sure he’s doing really well. How old is your youngest?

There were many people studying IT because it was popular, some did not really like it, but followed the trend or being forced by the parents.

I am really glad that I studied IT and enjoy doing the work, as it allows me to quit my office job and take care of my children at home, while still doing some freelance programming jobs. I understand not all the professions allow to work from home.

I used to talk to my friends when I was younger, but when I grow older, it seems like it’s not easy to find a person to talk to. Moreover, I’d prefer to solve it on my own, or talk to my husband.

Now, I usually meditate. I like to write too, while writing, I can clear my mind easier and usually I can find a way out too.

I studied Telecommunication Engineering at first, then I found out that I was not so interested in becoming an engineer and working in my country. So, I changed my course to Information Technology, as I was more interested in programming and designing the program. (These were all my own choices)

I am glad I made the change, as I really enjoy working as a programmer.

I call my parents in Cantonese, papa or pa, mama or ma.

My children call me mama, and call the dad papa. But sometimes I don’t know why they like to call me mommy. 🙂
