En and Hui

L-R: En and Hui

I have often wondered if other fathers out there feel like I feel with regards to their daughters. I would like to think that we all think and feel the same way towards our daughters because they are such beautiful creatures. Ever seen a 5 year old girl, the most important thing for her is to see the sun-rise? Because her mom told her that when the sun has set and it is still dark, it means sleeping time, no one will wake up to play. The second the sun ray broke into the room by passing in between the cracks of the curtains, she will throw out the duvet and bounce up, climb down from her top bunk and go right into her play corner in the living room or her study room to see which book interests her on that morning or which craft to build today. Never mind going to the toilet, brushing teeth or freshening up, those can wait. She is too busy for all those trivial things.

Ever notice how she walk lately? Is she dragging her feet, or is she skipping along, can you see the bounce in her strides, how high is her ankle when the leg is behind her when she walks (touch her bottom?), run? I did. And En is forever bouncing along. Made me think, hope she is not on drugs. Her energy is just immense, very positive about things.

Hui is about the same but I think she is going through a period where their emotions are getting the better of her. But she will have to go through this period and Shannon and my support are so crucial for her now. We have to thread over this period carefully. Other than that, Hui is happy and carefree.

I love them a lot, simply adorable.
