I found the 7 Secrets of Success in my room

I got to know this from an email my sister sent me. Look no more, success is just in the comfort of your home. Roof said : Aim high! Fan said : Be cool! Clock said : Every minute is precious Mirror said : Reflect before you act Window said : See the world Calendar said : Be up-to-date Door said : Push hard to achieve your goals

They will come to me if I do it with my heart

I told myself many times. And I couldn't take it anymore that I have to tell my son. He said, 'Yes'. If only I could tell them my genuineness and if only they could just have faith in me. Try me and if it fails, they can 'abandon' me. There's no long binding contract. Maybe, the timing is not right. It's the last quarter of the year and most would opt to take it slowly when it comes to studies. Have faith will succeed. Have patience will thrive.

He boiled water for me

My long awaited day has arrived. The first Saturday of October 2008, my first coaching session of JH and YLe. H was so lovely and supportive. Not only was he willing to sit down and be part of the group because I wanted him to learn together with the other kids. He was participative and enthusiastic during the session. Though he was a year younger than the rest of them, he was able to complete the assignments well. There were 2 different sessions lined up back-to-back at the request of YLe's mom. JH's mom obliged. During the second session which H was asked not to attend (this session is not suitable for him), he took his initiative to boil water in the kitchen. I could hear running filtered water filling up the kettle and later the whistle of the kettle confirmed his action. Though tired from late night the night before, I was smiling in my heart.
