i used to think my life is mine alone.. no one dictates the course of my life. But now, being married with 2 kids, I can happily say.... I live for my kids. I strive to better myself in terms of career and personal development.. for the sake of wanting to create a conducive environment for them to live.
Of course.. i do make time for myself too... shopping, watching drama/movie.. but top priority are ... my kids!
U guys may not understand it now but when u've got other lives depending on u.. automatically, the paternal n maternal instinct kicks in!!
