生老病死是人生必经之路。

以前听到这句话的时候,都觉得这只是另一件普通不过的事。没有感觉更不用说什么伤感。 我总是在没有碰到过的事情没什么感觉。遇见了才会见柬了解那是甚么回事。年纪越大余件这些事情的机会也越多。

午餐回来后,在面子書里收到了一位的”战友” 的短信。信是由“战友”的室友寄出,里面写着战友因为血癌在数小时前已经去世了。看了信件后,我有一丝丝的难过。虽然我们并没有回过面,甚至并没有交谈过。可是每次收到她的 面子书礼物,她都会在短训里写上大大的 “Thank youuuuuuuuuuuuuu…….Yit”。我确实有被吓倒,心想为什么这个人这么热情。不过也没有多想,只当她是个热情的战友。现在我才知道,那是她全心全意的感恩。她已经知道她的生命有限,珍惜和感恩应该就是她所想的吧。

以下是她在面子书留下的遗言。

If you love icing as well as farming, are you willing to give 1 hour each week for 2 months, doing any kind of volunteer work in your community ? If the answer is yes, I will ask you to continue playing MW and FV for me, in this account, so this account will keep on living long after I’m gone, I have a great and super nice neighbors in FV and an excellent strong mafia family

她的 farmville 还在那儿,她的战绩还能看见。可是她却走了。。在她的亲朋亲戚友的陪同下。。。希望她能安息。

I wanted to bring SQ for her first dental check up last month. But my dental appointment is so full, I only managed to get an appointment for a month later only. Well better than nothing as I do not want to bring SQ to other dental that might scared her. I want to give a nice dental experience to SQ to avoid her fear of dental in future.

I made two appointments for SQ and me. I think is good to show SQ her mother not scare of dental too. haha..So I go to clean teeth and check up together. SQ very curious when dental cleaning my teeth. I saw she peeping here and there. Then even go beside me look into my mouth to see what dental done to me. So funny to see her like that.

The dental is very talkative and friendly too. So SQ does not scare at all. She climb to the seat herself and follow dental instruction only. Lucky I brought SQ to do check up else I would not know there is a cavity in one of her molar. Have a cavity filled for her surely not as pain as toothache or 拔牙。SQ is brave too, she does not scare and worry at all. Proud of her! haha

This is SQ first dental visit at aged of 6 years 3 months old.

p/s : dental said the best time to bring kid visit dental is 4 years old wor.. Just normal visit that let her know about dental without fear.

在我无意的引导之下, SQ 开始会圆谎了。我不知道是我引导得太好还是我问得太仔细,令到SQ 也不知不觉中圆谎。

学校要求学生不要带私人物品到学校,以防弄不见。当然除了水壶,书包及功课外。他们不需要带任何文具因学校会提供。

有一天,在我不知情的情况下,SQ 带了一个装满颜色笔的铅笔盒去学校。然后,一个同学拿了她的铅笔盒回家。

后来我知道后,就吩咐SQ 要向同学拿回来或告诉老师,一定要把铅笔盒拿回来。 这事情就这样拖了一两个星期。问了她几次后,我总忍不住在她的联络簿子里向老师写了个情况,让 SQ 拿去给老师看,看老师帮不帮到她。我这样做主要是想让 SQ 自己解决她的事情。让她去面对老师和同学,自己去解决问题

可是几天后,SQ还是没有拿回那个铅笔盒。所以我就开始了那个 “引导”

妈妈 : “那天妈妈写了那篇东西,叫你拿给老师看。 老师看了吗?”

SQ 没有出声

妈妈 : “怎样?你有拿给老师看吗?”

SQ 没有出声,不过却轻轻的点点头。”

妈妈 : “哦。。那么老师说什么?”

SQ : 老师没有说什么?”

妈妈 : “没有说什么?老师怎么会没有说什么?她有问那个同学又没有拿你的铅笔盒吗?”

SQ 还是没有出声,但后来又轻轻的点点头。”

妈妈 : “那么那个同学有说什么吗?”

SQ 还是没有出声。

妈妈 : “老师问了那个同学后,她有没有说什么吗?”

SQ : “他说7岁的时候才给回我。”

妈妈 : “那么老师后来有说什么吗?”

SQ : “没有。”

妈妈 : “怎么会没有?老师没有叫同学拿回来给你吗?”

SQ : “没有。”

妈妈 : “你是真的有拿给老师看吗?老师在看后怎么会没做什么?”

SQ : “有,有拿给老师看。”

。。。。。。。。

我已经怀疑SQ 没有拿给老师看,可是她却一直说有。两天后,终于嗡到她说她并没有拿个老师看,因为怕老师骂。老师曾因小朋友带私人文具到学校而责怪他们。

如果我不问这么多,可能SQ 不会被引导到圆谎。可是,不是有人说不擅长表达的小孩需要被引导吗?

是我的引导能力太差,还是我用错了方法? hmm…

这其实并不是什么特别事情,我只想写下这一刻罢了。

So fast SQKiki joint Chinese Confucian Classics class already one year. This Thursday is the closing day for second term (half year per term) already. Teacher requests us to prepare a gift for our master in class. We all have to be a hiding angel to another mother/father (we called master) in class and taking care of she/he secretly. This Thursday would be the day reveal who is their angel. haha

Nothing to write but just want to keep SQ’s drawing in this blog that I treat as dairy book. Haha

Kid’s drawing always look lovely and cute. I hope she would draw a family like this after grow up too. I believe that would mean her family always has happy parent and a little sister.

Got the result from teacher at Parents Day. Just want to keep as a record for SQ. Teacher commented SQ is good in doing assessment. SQ done this very careful, unless the time she is doing homework, slow and “ching ching chai chai”.

She knows this is the “things” to show parent, I think teacher did remind them assessment result would show to parent gua..

How I feel when I saw the result? hmm.. Happy? Sure but macam kindy result all are like that one wor.. Most students having very well result one… not happy? Sure not. Over 90% wor.. This also calls bad meh? Impossible. My not good result limit is below 50% :p

With this assessment result, at least I know I know why SQ always read Chinese word come with Han Yu Pin Yin with wrong key. Because she is using phonic to read that Chinese word. Now I can put away her English storybook and do more homework at her Chinese vocabulary. Hai…just done the flash card like below. Hide all the English and Han Yu Pin Yin in the flash card.
