Little girl Lianne joined town on February 18, 2007, and is now a chubby and cheering creature: motherhood is enjoyable OVERALL, AFTER ALL?!
Slightly smiling and seemingly satisfied, her face often touches me, reminding me of something--something long forgotten, something yet to come by. In the sound of night and in the silence of noon, I try in vain to find language for that something.
This morning, as I gazed at the crystal branches outside the window, something jumped into my head: you are my dream--after all these years. After all these years, you are my dream? You, my little girl? You that fills my everyday? You that I put away to make room for everyday? You-my beauty of sadness? You--my coffeeortea? You--that part of me that longs for permanence--Siheng, Siheng? Yes, you, why doubt?

The little girl, although still spending most of her time sleeping, knows that she will bring to your life and our lives something beyond our imagination and expectations. That is the beauty of a sweet dream, a dream that the present can never fully capture and that always catches us in happy surprise.
