If I Still Remember

There was a day when we all sitting down for a typical breakfast at kopitiam

There was a week when we all went for vacation

There was a month when you all accompanied me to struggle through my examinations

There were years when you hold my hands and breed me up to who I am today
-

Few months back when I first stepped into my post-secondary studies in Singapore

I went through series of harshness

One main reason is because I came here all by myself

From interview to enrollment

My parents had not interfere any single of these processes

Except for financial support

I was actually keeping this inside my heart

It brought me even down

When I saw most of the interviewees were accompanied by parents or guardians

-

Dad read my mind

That is the special part of blood relation

They know what you are thinking even if you keep it silent

He emailed me one night

"If I could make it last time when I was in UK,

Why not you?

I believe you are not only academically excellent,

But good enough to handle your life by your own.

I have faith that you can do way better than me..."

-

This is an extract from his email

And now I make it

Secondary's CCAs built up my leadership

And now overseas studies had built up my independence and confidence towards life

-

They are yet the best parents on earth

I remember there was one night when my mum rang up

Asking me how life's going on and so

And I popped out a question at her

"After I completed my Diploma, how?"

She seemed to be prepared

"Don't worry, me and dad will support you until degree.

We will break the bond if necessary, depending on situation.

But I can assure you a degree or bachelor in the future."

-

And now

I understand how scrupulous entrepeneurs are in their financial management

And I appreciate my parents so much that

They had prepared me well for my future

To achieve my ambition

To fullfill their dreams

And to achieve financial freedom

-

And

If I still remember

They both really love me
