20.2.15 - I
am on holiday to Hua Hin while penning this. I'm on a 45mins journey to a
temple and have ample time to do some reflection.
My boy met
his puppy love during his secondary school in Wesley. It was at his prom night,
I was made aware of her existence. She is a sweet petite girl by the name of SY
who has been his classmate for 4 years. After graduation, they too went to the
same college in MCKL. I can see some changes in my boy in terms of maturity. It
is in this year that my boy suddenly formed his own liking. He has always been
a 'anything will do' alias mummy boy but not anymore. It is a good thing for
him though. He knows how to take care of himself better. He takes initiative to
dress up, clean up, goes for haircut which is so difficult those days. I
believe it has to do with the puppy love and maturity as well. But this is also
a hiccup for him at this stage of his life. God tested him with a sweet
temptation and I was tested too as a mother on parenting.
Somehow he
was heart broken when TH and I told him to abstain from getting into a
relationship at this point in life. He
is just 17 and still young to take on a commitment like this. This is the time
for him to shine in life, to find his goal, to make a mark in his academic life
and enjoy his college life to the fullest. Furthermore he will go abroad to
Sydney soon for further studies and cannot afford to start a relationship.
Yes, we had
some minor arguments about it and eventually a good session of counselling and
pillow talk before he finally understood our good intention. He is still young
not to understand the consequences of it and I understand him. Love is blind
and it is a beautiful experience. But it was a bad timing for him. Luckily he
is strong enough to take on the hard decision and let it go. I am so proud of him. Love my boy zillion
times.
