Every day he looks different because there's a rapid growth period. And I remember after general election when the dust has settled, I came back and I look at him also, oh my God, he has grown so much. What did I miss out? So it was quite emotional. And then of course now they are a bit older.

Residents have been very kind and understanding and they continue to place their trust in me and I'm grateful. At work, my colleagues and my bosses have also been appreciative of my other roles and they gave me the flexibility. I'm grateful. Of course, at home, I've got my family, my parents, my husband, and friends as well who are willing to step in when I have to go out and do my part.

So, it's a whole ecosystem of support. I recognise that not everyone enjoys the same level of support. And so, actually... This thing about how can we better support women to achieve their aspirations actually became one of the causes that I've been fighting for or talking about since that second general election, since 2015, since becoming a mother.

Yeah, actually I'm passionate about a range of issues and causes. When I was in my 20s, when I was first fielded, I was very passionate and I continue to be passionate about elderly issues as well as youth because I've always been.

And I also start to think about how I would like to live my life when I eventually grow old and become an elderly myself. So that's from the personal point of view. But my constituency, one in three are aged 60 and above. So I have a fairly significant population of seniors who are under my care.
