Yesterday was Cass's first day of Orientation at Universiti Malaya. She spent the whole day at the Dewan Tuanku Canselor, taking her first steps into this exciting new chapter of life.
Today will be an even longer day, with Orientation only ending at 10.30pm. The students have already received their class timetables all the way until next year.
I'm so excited for her, yet at the same time, I can't help but worry. I remember feeling exactly the same when she and her sisters started Primary 1 in a Chinese primary school (Kuen Cheng 2), doubting whether they can cope in a Chinese school. I worried again when Cass entered a Chinese Independent High School (Kuen Cheng High School), with the same doubts. Now, here I am, worrying all over again as she begins university.
I suppose that's just what being a mum is. No matter how old our children become, a part of us will always worry about them.
My greatest wish is that Cass will be happy at UM, meet kind and genuine people, make wonderful friends, and enjoy every moment of this new journey.
