I know someday, you'll ask why I chose these names. I could easily choose a more "Chinese" friendly name or invent something silly which I'm quite sure your mum will like.
Why Jae?
It's a short for Jade. I always wanted this name for my daughter. Way way before I even got married. I think it's a beautiful name to associate with a girl. I always picture a lady with the name Jade to have charisma and class. But the real deeper reason is I want my first child to be my precious forever. I like the history of Jade being the equivalent of gold in ancient China; the most previous mineral man can have. Why not gold or diamond you may wonder at this point. Because I want you to remember your roots. That we will always be Chinese and carry the virtues of Chinese.
Eventually the name evolved to Jae, which I feel has a more light-hearted ring to it. Which suits your character very well so far. You are always that little cuddly girl who loves attention and things that makes you happy.
Why Sesha?
Another name I always wanted if I had a son is Freeman. Inspired by Morgan Freeman, a black actor whom I admire a lot. But it's the real meaning of the name that sticks with me; freedom. More specifically the freedom of speech, the freedom to chose, the freedom to live your life to the fullest. Every person deserves to enjoy these freedom. Not everyone appreciate the millenias of fear, fighting and hardship in order for us to enjoy these freedoms. I hope you'll grow up appreciating these freedoms and become a free-spirited person. Responsible but always dare to make a choice.

Elephant grass
Daddy: I don't like you.
Jae: I don't like you also.
Daddy: I don't want to bring you to the playground tomorrow.
Jae: I like Daddy!

Time Did Not Fly.
No it didn't. The last three years were some of the most difficult years of my life. They were also some of my most rewarding years, seeing Jae grow from a little pea to a running jumping kid. I'm glad we passed the stage when Jae needs constant milk feeding and attention. She's a big girl now, able to poo and pee in the toilet without much fuss.
In another 3 months or so, we'll be expecting Number 2. It'll be all hell break loose once again. It'll be easier but not easy for another 3 years. I hope there's a way to fast forward but then again, we would have missed the precious 3 years of watching Number 2 grow up.
Then there is always the problem of Jae adjusting to her new role as the big sista and come to terms to having less attention from daddy and mummy.
To me, Jae will always be the special one. The one who changed my life for the better. The one who truly given me a purpose. Right now, I can only hope Jae learns to share her toys in time.
