I’m so lucky to have people consistently in my life helping encouraging me to chase my dreams.

Since I was young, nothing was impossible for my mother. When I wanted to learn to stitch, she brought me to the wool shop to get all the tools and threads I need. When I showed clear interest to comics, she took me the book store weekly to get a book, then she spent her savings to get me papers and pens so I could draw all day.

She introduced me to ballet and violin, although I couldn’t reach the end grades with both, it made me tasted what it was. When I wanted to self learn piano, she made my dad drove 6 hours to get the keyboard he lent to his friend.

Career wise, mom discouraged me from doing arts or veterinary medicine… But other than that, she has always been encouraging.

I had the opportunity to meet great people along the way. I nearly couldn’t finish my degree because couldn’t afford it. But I met great elders (parents of my ex) who really go an extra mile to help me get scholarship.

Then I met Mojuju. He’s not perfect, but he loves me. When I wanted to learn MMA, he drove me all the way every Thursday with our 2 year old Mr Monday and looked after him for an hour around the area. When I wanted to teach Monday origin of food and to appreciate food, he agreed to have chickens in our backyard.

When I nearly cried seeing Pedro and Juliano (our guinea pigs) left in a corner at the pet shop with Juliano clearly being an adult that was never choosen due to his red eye, he set up a space and immediately bought them the same day as a gift to me. (IT ALSO DOESN’T HELP THAT JULIANO LOOKS EXACTLY LIKE MOJUJU)

When I got into drumming, he never once moan about the space my drumkit was. When I spent over £2000 to get my current drum set, he never once nag me about me wasting my money.

I’m so lucky. And I know, not many are as lucky as I am
