Kim Lim fears son Kyden could also be taken benefit of

When Rebecca Lim requested Kyden concerning the situations the place he has needed to give in to his cousins, he replied: “I will let them play first [if we both want the same toy].”

Kim Lim added: “He’s quite good in that way. That’s why I think this has trained his maturity. I think he’s more mature than me – his patience level is really very high. So that’s why maybe, in school, sometimes, if [he gets] bullied a bit, you know kids these days are like that, he just lets it happen.” 

She then shared one thing she typically jokes about: “When I was pregnant with Kyden, I used to go to the temple and pray to Guan Yin Ma (the Goddess of Mercy) because I’m Buddhist. I always said, ‘Please give my son good character, let him be kind.’

“After these few years in school, I’m like, can I go back and retract the prayer? He’s too kind already. Can I renegotiate with Guan Yin Ma?” she added, bursting into her signature rambunctious chortle.

Even when his mom nags at him, Kyden merely responds with a nod and a easy “okay” or “yes, Mummy,” leaving Kim Lim each pleased with the younger man he’s turning into, but additionally barely apprehensive that he could also be too simply taken benefit of.
