We agreed on Lily as soon as we knew we were going to have a daughter. I wanted Athena as her second name (goddess of wisdom) but hubby felt the malay sounding Hena was not auspicious (I was more focussed on the first syllable Athe as it rhymes with Ati, a name I call myself). So I compromised on Alyssa (rational/logical). And true enough my Lily Alyssa is a sweet girl with a clever head on her shoulders. She's top 3 in the best class, active in cultural activities as well as athletics, a prefect and quite a good swimmer too. She's 10.
Harap-harap berkekalan, as she enters her teenage years. (Written in blue her favourite colour)
