Not too much of a Sunday for us except small talk between husband and wife. Dave and myself spent the day lazing around like lounge lizards. Little Siamese King thought he was the highlight of the day. Every move we made, he was there. Mostly sitting and waiting under the threshold that leads to his 'dining facility'.
Dave got up from the bed while I stayed in to watch the updates on FOX news. He heated few pieces of leftover pizza in the microwave oven and brewed his slurp for the day. The weather outside was gorgeous; breezy and sunny yet chilly. The best time to air out the entire house after a long chilling winter. It was a reprieve. Dave went around the house and opened all the windows to let the fresh air filter through. In a matter of hours, the wind shifted to the north and pushed the darkening clouds toward the south; our brief sunny day came and went. The beautiful day was short lived.
Sunday has always been the day for us to discuss matters of the future. Similar topic, any household would discuss from time to time. Today, the topic is mainly focused on our youngest daughter's education.
In less than a month, we will be emptying our little nest egg to fund for her education. Emphasis on education for the kids has been the order in our entire marriage. We gave equal opportunity to every kid to succeed in life. We supported and sacrificed for each and every kid in their endeavors. We constantly maintained our watchful eyes despite the fact that we live away from them. It was never an easy job to keep up with them. Its a 24/7 commitment.
Chucky, as she is fondly called by her friends and families, had chosen to pursue Broadcasting & Journalism as a career. Her gutsiness seems to meet the criteria. She had participated in many debates and achieved eight credits in her forecasted result in her final year in high school. As parents, we were ecstatic and made plans to enroll her in one of the private universities, Limkokwing University of Creative Technology.
We went through our financial situation, added the cost of the entire degree program and decided that we will sacrifice every penny we have to finance for her education. By the time we are done with her, we reckoned that every penny in our bank account would be wiped out! Isn't life is but trials and tribulations? Yes, life never ceases to amaze me.
Although the weather changed that day, it did not dampen our spirits from making plans for our daughter's future ~ A commitment of a lifetime.

Lim Kok Wing University is very popular and a very Uni. But did you enrol her in Malaysia punya or oversea?....
Stone, we enrolled her at Cyberjaya, KL and still the cost is too much. But nevermindlah, the last one to go for us. We have sent 3 kids in college already and we are always broke!!!!
