If I could travel back in time…
… I would tell my 1-year-old self that she is a very lucky baby.
… I would tell my 3-year-old self that she is about to meet the only other person on earth who knows what it’s like to grow up in my family.
… I would tell my 6-year-old self not to swing round the pole in the backyard, because I might fall and split my head.
… I would tell my 9-year-old self that teachers are human too, and are not above taking me down a notch or two.
… I would tell my 12-year-old self to stand up straight.
… I would tell my 15-year-old self that boys are also, sometimes, scared of girls.
… I would tell my 16-year-old self that “hey you, I mean me, I mean… ah, fuggedit, go take up the bass. Now. Even if you have to beg Mummy and Daddy for it.”
… I would tell my 17-year-old self that most boys aren’t worth the effort you put into impressing them.
… I would tell my 18-year-old self to believe in love.
… I would tell my 19-year-old self to remember this moment of triumph as she held her results slip.
… I would tell my 20-year-old self that decent boys will tell you how they feel, even if they feel nothing for you.
… I would tell my 21-year-old self that leaving someone is being cruel to be kind.
… I would tell my 22-year-old self that music will return the love you give it, so love it.
… I would tell my 23-year-old self to buy health insurance.
… I would tell my 24-year-old self that one day not too far away, I’ll look back and have a great story to tell.
… I would tell my 25-year-old self that you never forget how to love.

Yeah,,, when u were born we were sure proud parents of a lucky baby. When u were 3 some people were so amazed that you could read. The year before, when I wanted to get a small letter and capital letter wood jigsaw, you told me just want one., as they’re both the same. When u were 6, you were an MC for kinder concert for being able to read and remember your script well. Pronouncing “Opportunity” was the word that made you stand out. When u were 7, we were overwhelmed when we saw this little girl walking up to the stage to get the best student prize, without our prior knowledge during a concert. This list would go on and on. Hehehe. Yes, we are still savouring your 19 year old exam results and your graduation. Never-the-less, there’s the love too. Have a nice day and everyday.
