Watching your child grow up can bring about a kind of unexplained sentimentality. As much as you hope that he or she can grow up faster, you also wish that time would slow down so that you can savour each and every moment spent together.
There are possibly certain moments that could trigger these wave of emotions and thoughts—probably like how it did for local actress Fann Wong during a recent yacht trip to Pulau Hantu with her 6-year-old son Zed.
With her husband, Malaysia-born actor Christopher Lee, away in Taiwan for work, the mother-son duo took to an array of sea-faring activities while accompanied by friends, as documented in an Instagram post (Oct 27).

Fann also uploaded videos and photographs of the leisurely time spent at sea where they engaged in activities such as swimming to kayaking and watching the sunset together.

It is perhaps also what prompted the 49-year-old Ah Jie to express her heartfelt emotions as Zed’s mother in the post.
With a grateful heart, she pens the following message to Zed which we have translated into English below:
To my dear baby.
Hey, baby
Mummy thinks the world is nothing short of beautiful, because of you.
Really hope to see you grow up quickly,
go to school, graduate, work, get married, have children
to experience the simple happiness of most people,
[I wonder] what kind of occupation you will pursue,
scientist, lawyer, astronaut [or] an artist
or would you become an actor just like your father and I,
regardless of what you become, as long as you are filled with ideals and full of happiness.
[At the same time] I also hope for you to grow up slowly,
to be able to wind down during the carefree days in your childhood,
without worries and [to be able] to laugh innocently,
We’ll go hand in hand,
from sunrise to sunset,
Mummy will teach you to become more familiar with this novel world,
Thank you, baby
for giving me the identity of a mother,
Thank you, my baby
For healing [me] with your beauty,
Thank you, baby
Mummy is ready to fight and be brave anytime because of you.
