《当我老了》——写给孩子的一封信

This is a re-post, do watch the video and I hope it can touch your heart!
I'll try to get the english version in the later post.

当我老了，不再是原来的我。
请理解我，对我有一点耐心。

当我把菜汤洒到自己的衣服上时，
当我忘记怎样系鞋带时，
请想一想当初我是如何手把手地教你。

当我一遍又一遍地重复你早已听腻的话语，
请耐心地听我说，不要打断我。
你从小的时候，我不得不重复那个讲过千百遍的故事，
直到你进入梦乡。

当我需要你帮我洗澡时，请不要责备我。
还记得小时候我千方百计哄你洗澡的情形吗？

当我对新科技和新事物不知所措时，请不要嘲笑我。
想一想当初我怎样耐心地回答你的每一个“为什么”。

当我由于双脚疲劳而无法行走时，
请伸出你年轻有力的手搀扶我。
就像你小时候学习走路时，我扶你那样。

当我忽然忘记我们谈话的主题，请给我一些时间让我回想。
其实对我来说，谈论什么并不重要，
只要你能在一旁听我说，我就很满足。

当你看着老去的我，请不要悲伤。
理解我，支持我，就像你刚开始
学习如何生活时我对你那样。

当初我引导你走上人生的路，
如今请陪我走完最后的路。
给我你的爱和耐心，我会报以感激的微笑。
这微笑中凝结着我对你无限的爱。

Encouraging video to share with you

Sky seems little brighter, hope the video will cheer you up as well as cheer me up too....

Anyway to escape??

Life has been a little bit stressed lately... work, maid and the inability to control situations.

Really looking forward for a break but I don't think I can at this moment....

I sincerely hope that whoever is reading this please don't worsen the situations... you know that pouring poisons into some innocent minds and cause them to think what you are thinking (negatively...), please, please don't do that!

If you are not happy please come to me... I hope you know what I mean... try to look on the brighter side of life which I'm trying my best to do!

Good night!

Sorry the blog is dead close to a year....

Hello!! I'll be back with some updates later on....

It's too stressed now and helpless.... what can I do.....

United Square - Ball of A Time! 31 / Aug

Gordon had a good time playing the "water ball" at United Square while waiting for Gloria to finish her TLL (make up lesson for absence for Christmas Island). I actually spent $60 (on mum and my clothes) to get this free ride otherwise it cost $9 for 10min of playtime.

PB was so pissed at first as the service counter told us that they ran out of voucher! We need to come back on other day to play! However, we insisted we wanted to play on the same day and was shocked to find out that many others also were told the same thing from the service counter.

It was a long wait and finally Gordon got the ride on and had so much fun! A little reward for his hard work for his prelim which he showed lots of improvement!

Wish that he would do much better than his prelim and get in to a suitable & good secondary school!

All the best my darling boy!

National Mathematical Olympiad of Singapore 2008 - 23 / Aug

Gloria was chosen to be the MC for this event and she was all excited about it. They had only 1 final rehearsal on 22/Aug just one day before the actual event.

Ah ma and I went on the actual day to support her and see how she carried herself on the stage. Suddenly, I felt she is so different!

Really a grown up girl with the high heel, stockings, blazer and a confident outlook! I must congratulate her on having achieving so much by herself, not only in studies but the willingness to venture in other areas like leadership and public speaking.

Despite having some criticism from some of her peers as being branded as "studious", "no life", "nuts" & etc....

Dear girl, do not care what others have to say about you. Sometimes in life, we cannot please all but just to stick on to your dreams and go forward. I'm sure when you look back, you will not regret what you have achieved and the journey you have enjoyed!
