Good morning, I would like to interview you as my mother
and ask you a few questions
Sure
Firstly, how was it like when you were growing up?
Um, during my growing years we were more free
and prone to interact directly with people
animals and nature
without the distraction of technology
we will spend many simple and carefree days
outdoors, exploring and frolicking
in the gardens, village, paddy fields
riverside, seaside,playing games
of our imagination and creativity. Parents were not so immersed
in work and gadgets, technology gadgets
They will actually spend
more time with us, um and we
kids were allowed to move more independently
actually sometimes cycle to
a nearby grocery store to buy things for my mother
without any incident and things were actually cheaper then
about 10 times maybe a bowl of mee
was about 5.. uh 50 cents and now is about 5 dollars
OK, I remember school
was more fun, not burdened with book, homework and
tuitions.
If you would change something in your life
what would it be?
I would change my career path, Uh I've always
been interested in interior designing and would browse
magazines or sketch designs as a
hobby when I was younger. Uh,
I would've pursued that course but uh many elders
were advising against it as it was
not considered to be a stable and uh
can sustain a good living in our
local environment. However, I think things have changed nowadays
and it is actually making its mark in Malaysia
and becoming a
more
established.
What would you say are your dreams and fears?
Um, having reached middle age
my dreams have taken a turn, uh instead
of pursuing my ambitions, career paths, I
now look towards achieving higher spirituality. My dreams would be
to gain in terms of inner peace
well being and happiness as I head towards my sunset
years. This will also provide platform for me to guide
my family through various challenges and serve
the community including the needy. My general fears
are not unlike those of others regarding
world calamities, terrorism, being stricken with
medical conditions, insufficiency
own children becoming wavered delinquents
e.g. However, personally I have
always feared 3 things which I view now
in amusement. The first being the lightning which
is understandable as it can be very dangerous
The second is a certain animal which I myself
cannot comprehend as to why the phobia exists
but my reaction towards seeing it
speaks volumes of my fear of that particular animal
The third was acquired along the course of my life
exams. Being a conscientious student
often aiming to score in exams could be
the reason for the development of this fear
till this day I sometimes have nightmares
relating to exams although i no longer need to sit for them
What would be the challenges you have faced in your life
and how did you overcome it?
Challenges I have faced are mainly from
schooling years up to now when I began shouldering responsibilities
The obstacles come in various forms during
school or working process of carrying out
my duties, organizing events
implementing projects, raising funds
handling complicated issues and managing people
I think people are actually not easy to handle
apart from that raising a family sometimes pose challenges especially
when kids are hyperactive, have behavioral
and medical or schooling issues
pet can also be an issue, it can be exhausting
when we have to juggle with heavy work commitments or complications
from time to time, there were financial struggles
and I had to overcome that too
In facing all these challenges it was crucial to have mental
and physical strength as well as support from love ones
My strong spiritual background help me to stay
calm and composed enough to think and carry out the solutions
to overcome these challenges
What is the most important advice you have for me
Very importantly I would advice that whatever you do do it mindfully
this will go a long way in your daily life
conducted in a proper and well behaved manner
fortify yourself in facing and overcoming
any challenges that you may have
Thank you.
