Years ago, I have a lot of things that I love to do.
I love reading. Yes. I could finish reading a novel in one day.
Remember the thick Harry Potter series? I finished reading that thick novel (the last one) in two days. Hahaha...
I also love reading Malay novels. Ni lagi la, dalam 3/4 jam (with interruptions) pon boleh abis.
I love handmade things. Crafts, hand made cards, quilling, scrap book making... etc.
I make my own greeting cards, my book marks and I gave them to my friends too.
I love watching movie at cinema. Most of the time, I watched sci-fi, action movies and animation. I went to cinema with frens and mr.hubby of course.
I am crazy with tv dramas and series. Name it! Grey's Anatomy, CSI (all three), Rookie Blue, K-drama, Chinese series, ...
But those are PAST...
PAST TENSE...
ago..

last time...
When I changed my status from a married lady to a mother, those are the things I sacrificed.
When I tried to watch my drama series, my two little kiddos will shriek for attention. When both of them had calm down, the drama had either ended or I just couldn't understand the storyline anymore.
When I took my quilling pen or tried to cut my papers, these babies will start 'helping' me. They tore them apart or mess with all my organized DIY materials. I had to put the stuff away or I had to take them away from the stuffs.
When I planned to have a midnight movie watching or a date with hubby, I have to consider should I left them with my mum. Can my mum handle their crying and wailing when they saw me leaving?
When my babies have already fell asleep, I pick up my novel, and ZZZzzzzz.... the novel thus became my bedtime stories.
Not to complain, far from making any unpleasant remarks. But, I just want to tell people, those are the things I miss. Some friends keep asking me, "It's been a while I saw u did this, did that..."Well, this is why. I am no longer a single lady, I am no longer living alone.
I am a mother of two and a wife. AND I am proud telling people that.
Those are the things I miss.
BUT
I never regret those sacrifices.
I'd rather have my kids than have those.
None can ever be exchanged for them.
Agree? :)
XOXO
