And then every week, no, every month we had an exam and in the week that we were together, every day there's a quiz. so it's quite crazy but I think it really trained us well placed us very well I think looking back it was a great experience but the question was why did I choose to do it As an elected member of parliament, I should constantly try to grow and learn.

As I mentioned earlier, my first term, I quit my job at Ernst & Young to focus on my constituency work. I think it was wonderful. After a while, when we get the hang of things, you build up experience, you establish processes, you establish the team. I start to have capacity. I felt that I needed to build new dimensions. I felt that I really needed to learn something.

When the Chicago Bulls opportunity came, I decided to just latch on and just go. It has been a wonderful two years.

Yeah, I get asked this quite a bit and while we all wish we can balance all these different roles and that, and the assumption underlying this would be that we compromise nothing. But the reality is that there will always be trade off. Something has to give at some point when we focus on something else. So in this case,

Honestly, there's always a constant mother's guilt because I feel that being an elected member of parliament is absolutely sacred because so many people place their trust in me. They voted for me. To me, this is absolutely sacred. So I have to continue to do my best. to solve the problems, to listen, to represent them in parliament, to give voice, to do a lot of things.

And that takes a lot of time. Professionally, I get paid and I also want to make sure that I continue to grow as a person. I also want to give myself that chance to do so and I need to be a responsible employee. So in the end, I have to sacrifice the family front a little bit more. I remember in my second general election, 2015, It's two weeks after I gave birth.

You know, in Asian culture, there's a one month confinement. Yeah. So I basically, actually a few days after giving birth, I had to go out and start training my walking. Because by the second, because two weeks later after I gave birth, I have to start campaigning because general was just around the corner. I had to start campaigning. And so I recall that my firstborn,

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, it was quite, quite emotional. And then of course now they are a bit older.

a little bit more independent in that sense and but I must say that in the end whatever that I could do I wouldn't have been able to achieve those if not for the great support of many wonderful people so within the constituency I have a great team who have stood by me even during the toughest of times and I'm grateful.

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.
