The next 40 years
I took leave for the past 2 days and felt I needed to spend some time reflecting... I was at Queenstown library enjoying the nice environment yesterday when i suddenly thought of how much time i was spend with my candra. So, i began doing my sums. TO my surprise, i foudn myself spending only 12 miserable hours per week with candra, and that's out of a long 168 hours per week. Gosh, i thought to myself, 'whatever happened to my time?' Well, i spent time working, going to church, sleeping.. and probably nothing else. Give me another 40 healthy, mobile years to live, how much time am I spending with my kid/s?
The answer shook me. real hard. I will only be spending 2.8 years of my life with my kids! Well, for consolation, i thought that there are public holidays, and maybe when she drop her naps, or maybe when she sleeps later, etc. Yet, there are other factors which may just shorten the time spent - schooling, CCAs, my OTs, etc. Well done, wenguang! You are going to spend about 3 yrs of your life with your daughter, and perhaps lesser when we have a few more (Haha, I am not sure how many more).
Just what am I going to do with the 3 years? I better start thinking.... =)
And to remind me, not to freak me out, I did a simple chart which i will paste on a prominent place at home..
Whatever time there is left, I better cherish and enjoy it.

I love this, di. This is amazing. Cos...recently as we think through homeschooling...IMAGINE...not just Tim who will be spending that little time with our kids, and ME too? That will be such a sad thing. With homeschooling, I'm very glad at least my % will be increased significantly.
