my girl is gorgeous isn’t she?
or i am just being a bias mother?
no lah, she IS gorgeous! 
often nowadays, when i make any reference to my firstborn, she is always seen as a girl who is mature for her age. an old soul, they called it. maybe its her demeanor , the way she carry herself but boring or fiercely serious she is not. in fact, she is the joker in the family. the one with the loudest laughter, after her dad. but share with her something, anything and she is able to comprehend it with wisdom and seriousness of someone far beyond her age.
her weakness is that she is such a crybaby and her sister likes to push this button.
her most expressive features are her eyes. it lights up when she is excited and happy and bursting with news. when she’s unwell, it goes all sleepy and droopy and it’s the first sign of our house becoming notably quiet. she gets all teary alongside me, while watching a moving film. sulks and wet her pillow silently when her expectations met disappointment. oh how my heart ache thinking how she might cry her heart out with her first relationship heartbreak.
we went bowling on her sister’s birthday last month and i got a sneak peek of teenage her. soaking up the details, and marveling at how fast she’s growing up to be a young teenager.
