In Malaysia, I used to leave home before 6am everyday (weekend excepted, of course). Got home only around 9pm. Saw very little of my kid in those days. Now, I leave home around 8.15am, and am home by 6.30pm. I spend loads of time doing stuff with my daughter. From sitting on the sofa and have an Indonesian maid fetch her stuff, she now prepares dinner together with mom and dad, do the dishes after that with mom and dad, does her own bed, helps with the laundry, takes out the garbage…

If for nothing else, this move Down Under has helped us so much as a family, doing simple things together and being together so much. Mundane maybe, but WOW, so precious… LOVING IT!
