Challenge: 10 Things About Me

Tweet

I read this challenge from @tammys85 and I think it'd be fun to join the challenge. It seems like it was started by @carebear29. Here are 10 things about me: 1. I am 37 years old. I always like my birth date - 13.5.79, that's why my username is with the number 135. It's actually one of my primary classmate told me about this, I didn't find it out myself. 2. I have a 7yo boy and a 4yo girl, and another baby boy joining us in the coming May. 3. I quit my office job and became a freelance programmer since 5 years ago, because I wanted to take care of my children. I really enjoy being a work-from-home mom as I can spend more time with my children. 4. I have a supportive husband, and we have known each other for more than 20 years as he was my high school classmate. Our 10th wedding anniversary is in the coming May, too! (My birthday, my baby's birthday and our anniversary!) I always forgot about the anniversary. 5. I am a Malaysia Chinese. My first language is Chinese, and I usually communicate with others in Mandarin (Chinese) as well. We have to learn English and Malay language since we were young as well. 6. I homeschool my children, my son just started his first grade lesson. I am trying to apply Waldorf education approach, but also include everything that fits my children and family as well. 7. I started to learn to do more things with my hands as I'd like to teach my children in these few years. I learned to knit, crochet, sew, and I like to make toys for my children. Craft making has become a hobby to me. 8. I am very contented with my life now, though there are always challenges, I am happy to learn to face and solve them. I really enjoy being a wife, a mother, a work-from-home staff, a craft-maker perhaps. 9. I think I am stubborn. I always do what I think is right or feel comfortable with, even though it's not followed by majority, of course it has to be no harmful to other people or the earth, and it is not disturbing others as well. I always think it's my life, I should respect myself (and of course others). I teach the same to my son as well. What majority is doing might not be right, so we should not be afraid of doing something different as long as we know what we are doing, such as homeschooling, quitting the permanent and good paying job, etc. 10. I am striving to be a more mindful, joyful and peaceful mother or person. This is what I really love to learn and want to be. I thought it might not be easy to write 10 things about me, and I ended up writing so much. I wanted to add another - I am too talkative, though I am trying to cut it short always. Sorry for the long post. Would you like to join the challenge, and write 10 things about you?
