catch Santa Clause

We just found out that there is a video camera ( half hidden behind the piano cover) setting up in the living room facing a plate of cookies , a cup of milk and a note. 
The note written:
Dear Santa, Here are the milk and cookies for you, remember to drink all of your milk. Please give me some gifts. My Christmas tree is outside, just leave the gifts in the living room. 
P.S. the cookies are strawberry flavored :)
PPS. I have been good through the year :)

From Vienna

***How cute that Vienna set these all up by herself just wanted to find out what Santa Clause looks like if he comes to our house**

多謝

昨晚我在做Zac 的portfolio 時，Zac走來跟我說＂媽咪，多謝你幫我做portfolio 呀＂

我"Ok 啦，個個家長都會幫佢地d小朋友做嘅，不過真係好多嘢要做＂

Zac "媽咪，你留番一頁比我寫嘢吖，我想寫我嘅父母點樣係我學習上幫助我，support 我呀。＂

我"唔好掛...唔好搞d肉麻嘢好喎＂

Zac "但學校知道我有supportive family, 可能會加分㗎喎！＂

我＂唔使喇，唔使搞d咁嘅嘢啦＂

Zac "哦.."

***但好開心呢幾日Zac同我講左幾次多謝***

which one

After picking up Vienna from school today, she talked to me in the car: 

Vienna " mum, I want to tell you something, but can you promise not to scold me? "

Me" Hmmm.. I will if you do something like stealing!"

Vienna " Ok... I am not going to tell you then"

Me " OK, come on .. Tell me what it is"

*** Then Vienna told me the story*****

Vienna " mum, can you not tell dad?"

Me " Well, I got to tell him coz he needs to know it"

Vienna .....( silent)

**** Then when our family had time to sit down before going out for dinner tonight, I told Karl the issue****

Me " Karl, I need to tell you something but hope you won't get angry "

Daddy "ok"

Me " Vienna told me that she used your shaver to shave her leg the other day"

Daddy covered his face with his hands " oh... no.. so which one then ?"

Vienna lifted up her left leg and said " this one "

Daddy " not which leg, which shaver ... the electric one or the blade one?"

Vienna " the blade one coz if I used the electric one, there was sound, so you would find out"

*** Yes, I felt sorry for Karl coz he might have used the shaver after Vienna's turn but this cracks me up ( So I turned around and giggled)

One more thing, I am glad that Vienna still told us the truth even she thought she could be punished. I think the best way to feel peaceful is by removing the guilt inside us by telling the truth ***

hand painting

See whom I bumped into at HKIEd. I remember she was just a little girl (maybe 3 yrs old) when my colleague took her to work. Time flies..! Vienna really loves the drawing her daughter did on her hand.

~~~~完~~~

下？

今天有位agent 給我電話：

我接電話" Hello"

Agent " Hello, is Lukas' mami here?"

Me " 係呀，我係呀，你係邊位呢？"

Agent "呵~~我係xxx ( agency's name) 嘅 A (his name) , 我個客想搵你最細個個小朋友拍一個TVC呀，想check 下佢嘅期得唔得。同埋佢而家幾多歲呢？＂

我"佢剛剛七歲，不過佢嘅 size 都係六歲咁,佢116 cm 高咋＂

Agent＂岩喇...岩喇..就係要搵呢個歳數，咁佢12月得唔得呀？要拍兩日嘅，一日九個鐘係TVC,之後有另一日四個鐘係print 黎嘅！但個客話一定要請假喎~~"

我"咁就唔得喇，因為佢已經讀小一，返全日，以前幼稚園半日都可以多d時間拍，而家唔接咁多喇，除非係星期六或星期日下午，都可以嘅！佢十二月都要考試呀！」

Agent "時間有得傾嘅，通常都會推遲多過提早嘅，咁你個女幾時考試呀？＂

我＂我個女好高大㗎喎，成一百三十幾cm嘅喎，啱唔啱㗎?"

Agent "唔係喎，你又話七歲嘅？＂

我＂七歲個個係我嘅仔黎㗎，我有三個小朋友，男女男，呀哥十二歲，個女九歲，細仔剛剛七歲，Lukas係男仔名黎嘛＂

Agent "下？佢係男仔黎嘅咩？"

我忍唔住笑左＂係呀＂

Agent "呵~~~sorry 呀，咁下次有岩嘅job 再搵你喇＂

我＂好啦，唔該晒，你比你個email 我，等我send 我嘅「仔」Lukas 嘅近照比你睇下啦」

Agent "要喇...要喇"

***呀仔，對唔住呀，可能我之前錯手寄左d唔應該寄嘅相比agent 呀，你原諒我啦~~~***

生果金

晩飯閑談：
Zac 「媽咪，你讚唔讚成有＂生果金＂呀？」

我「老人家收果d生果金？」

Zac 「係呀」

我「讚成，老人家做唔到嘢，比d生果金佢，等佢地有d錢用嘛」

Zac「我唔讚成喎」

我「點解嘅？」

Zac「因為佢地d仔女有責任照顧佢地㗎嘛，唔應該政府照顧囉」

我「咁可能佢地冇仔女，又或者佢地d仔女唔願意養佢地哩~~」

Zac「冇仔女可以拿生果金，但有仔女就唔應該囉，佢d仔女唔比錢佢，係佢d仔女有問題囉」

我「咁你大個左會唔會照顧我同daddy㗎？比錢我地生活㗎？」

Zac「會，梗係會啦」（實在令我感動）

我「咁你可能要搵份好工先有錢比我同daddy喎」

Zac「我知，我大個想做足球員」

Vienna 駁入「Zac, 如果你做足球員，可能你要做兩份工喎，因為你又唔係踢得好叻，好出名個d足球員先會有好多錢，你應該唔得㗎喇」（Zac 怒視著Vienna~~~)

我「Vienna, 咁你大個又想做咩工作呀？」

Vienna 「我想做scientist, 因為我鍾意做experiments 」（咁呢樣嘢，睇你間房d擺設都知嘅）

Vienna 「Lukas, 咁你呢?」

Lukas 一邊吃雞腿一邊說「我想做racing car driver」

我「呢個都好難㗎喎，唔係你話做就做，要叻，人地揀你參賽先得㗎喎」

Lukas 「咁吖~~~我揀做賊啦，但我唔會偷錢嘅,我會偷iPads,因為會多d錢同有得玩」

我們全部目視Lukas ，Vienna 正氣的搭著Lukas的肩膀說「你唔使做賊嘅，你搵份工，夠錢比媽咪daddy,又夠錢買iPad,仲唔使坐監，咪得囉」

Lukas 繼續吃他的雞腿，同時乖乖的點頭「唔！」的一聲！

****給錢養我不重要，最重要是不要犯法啊***

Nerf Gun

昨天老師笑著跟我說：
Lukas 提意我去Toys R Us買支Nerf Gun 比佢作為生日禮物。但我話太貴（五佰多元），沒有零用錢買給他，點知Lukas又介紹支價錢平d嘅比我。最後我話住得遠，好難去Toys R Us 買。

**Lukas, 你唔好去搶...真係難為了老師! ***

** 感謝老師請Lukas吃雪糕慶生，真係so sweet 呀**

prayers

今日放學後在canteen 吃晩餐時的對話：
Lukas 「媽咪，我地班咪有個小朋友隻腳有個𣕧嘅，佢運動會參加跑100米呀」

我「咁佢跑唔跑到㗎？」

Lukas 「應該超慢囉。你會唔會幫佢pray 㗎？」

我「er.......會嘅...」（其實我真的沒有想過為這個小朋友禱告，所以很猶豫的回答）

我「咁點樣pray 呀？pray d 咩呢？」

Lukas 「我想佢可以攞第一，第二或者第三呀」

我「咁其實真係幾難㗎喎。不如你特登（即特意）輸比佢啦」

Lukas 「我就算特登輸比佢，仲有其他人比賽架嘛」

我「咁不如靜靜地叫埋其他小朋友一齊特登輸比佢吖？」

Lukas 「應該唔會㗎喇，仲有P2 嘅學生，我都唔識佢地。如果只係我特登輸比佢，咁我應該會係跑最尾個個囉」

那我特意給他一條衝擊問題「咁其實真係好難㗎喎，祈左禱佢都應該唔會攞獎㗎喎，咁唔使祈禱啦，係咪？」（actually this part gave me some spiritual thoughts... Should we pray according to the potential/ possibility of the outcome we think of or base on what if not...what is prayer? )

Lukas 「梗係唔係啦 ，咁我地可以pray佢跑時唔好跌倒，唔好整親隻腳㗎嘛！」

我「係喎！你真係好識得祈禱同關心人喎，好乖喎！」

**Lukas 點頭示意後，繼續吃他的麵**

** Also it is time for me to think about WHAT prayers really mean, WHY do I need to pray, WHOM do I pray for...etc***

咁就乖喇~

Lukas 剛洗完澡：
Lukas 「媽咪，我地班有一個同學隻腳有個𣕧，好似石膏咁，但唔係石膏黎嘅. 佢跑得好慢，所以小息唔係咁多人同佢玩，所以我特登（特意）小息坐低同佢傾計」

我「咁你同佢傾d咩呀？」

Lukas 「我講d笑話引佢笑囉」

我「咁佢點笑呀？」

Lukas「咪正常笑囉，佢又唔係個口有事，隻腳有事之嘛！」

我「係嘅~~係嘅」

Lukas 「我想請佢黎我嘅生日會呀，好唔好呀？」

我正想回應，Zac剛經過說「咁就乖喇~~」

***Zac 通常路經Lukas 都會係嚇下佢或嘲弄下佢，今次比較「正面」對待弟弟，讚！****

有勇氣的眼淚

昨天一位學生分享她的內心掙扎：
事因她是part time 大學生，不能申請交通優惠，但同學們也教她可以虛填一些資料，很容易便申請成功，之後可以改回正確資料，不少人也這樣成功申請到優惠 。

她內心掙扎的想：我很想要優惠，但若這樣做，就等於詐騙，不但詐騙了學校，還詐騙了整個制度。神是不喜悅我這樣做，衪是會供應我所需的。（所以她最後沒有申請，內心也充滿了平安。）

她一邊說出她的掙扎，眼涙一邊流出來，我給她一個擁抱和告訴她的決定是正確的。

她流涙，因為在掙扎中排除別人的譏笑（死蠢；有著數都唔識攞；扮清高砑？..等等) 是一件很不容易的事，特別在一個拜金主義的社會裏。但她的涙也帶著喜樂，釋放，平安和交托。

我們可以多多為有這樣堅持的年青人打氣( 若果你讚同這樣的情操），給予讚賞和鼓勵，因為年青一代會是我們社會的未來棟樑，他們的價值塑造（人格或工作方面）將會大大影響我們將來的社會。

" More potently than by any other means, change the university and you will change the world"
By Charles Habib Malik
( former Secretary General of the United Nation)

多願香港政界人仕有勇氣流這樣的眼淚！

放棄唔追問

我「Lukas, 學校旅行個日，見到你d同學同老師都好friend 喎..d同學都好鍾意個老師，佢地成群人hug hug 個老師，幾開心喎...」

Lukas 「有個同學開心又hug,唔開心又hug 老師㗎喇」

我「係？！咁你有冇hug 過老師呀？」

Lukas 「點解要咁做先？」

我「冇...問下啫，咁你有冇先？」

Lukas 「冇喎，我淨係hug 我d朋友啫」

我追問「㸃解唔hug 老師嘅？」

Lukas 「咁有咩問題先？」

***我好怕人唔直接回答問題，我放棄唔追問!!!!!!! ****

Why girls' time is good and important?

Why girls' time is good and important?
(cut and pasted from the net).

In an evening class at Stanford University the last lecture was on the mind-body connection - the relationship between stress and disease. The speaker (head of psychiat

ry at Stanford) said, among other things, that one of the best things that a man could do for his health is to be married to a woman whereas for a woman, one of the best things she could do for her health was to nurture her relationships with her girlfriends.

At first everyone laughed, but he was serious. Women connect with each other differently and provide support systems that help each other to deal with stress and difficult life experiences.

Physically, this quality time with girlfriends helps to create more serotonin - a neurotransmitter that helps combat depression and can create a general feeling of well-being {it’s the feel good hormone}. You know that amazing feeling you have after a great sweat session? You can partially thank serotonin for that too!

In general, women tend to share feelings whereas men often form relationships around activities. We share from our souls with our sisters/mothers and evidently that is very GOOD for our health.

He said that spending time with a friend is just as important to our general health as going for a run or working out at the gym. There's a tendency to think that when we are exercising we are doing something good for our bodies, but when we are hanging out with friends, we are wasting our time and should be more productively engaged—not true.

In fact, he said that failure to create and maintain quality personal relationships with other humans is as dangerous to our physical health as smoking! So every time you hang out with a girlfriend, just pat yourself on the back and congratulate yourself for doing something good for your health!

Let’s toast to our friendship with our girlfriends. Evidently it's very good for our health.

 

mufti day

Today is the mufti day at the boys' school , when we were talking about what Lukas is going to wear yesterday: 

Me " what are you going to wear on the mufti day Lukas? We have Ninja Turtle, Buzz Lightyear, sheep, pirate or maybe you can w

ear a princess dress? Hahaha.. "

Lukas" I am just going to wear underpants!"

Me " huh? You need to dress up to be like someone like spiderman, superman.. Something like that!"

Lukas" yea.. I am going to be Tarzan （泰山）"

Vienna " but your underpants are too small to be look like Tarzan's"

Lukas" I can wear dad's " (@.@!)

** of course I won't let my boy be Tarzan in a cold day and don't want the class photo with checkers on him ( 打格仔）***

So, he finally dressed as Buzz Lightyear on the mufti day.

Have fun at school my little Buzz.

電車

今晚去北角聽有關青少年健康成長的一個講座，剛剛紅燈位係Quarry Bay 見到部電車係隔離：

我「唔該，請問邊部電車去北角㗎？」

司機「呢邊部部都得㗎」

我「哦，咁我可唔可以上你呢部呀？」

司機「可以」

見司機答完＂可以＂但仲未開門，所以我報以甜甜笑容，望著司機，希望佢快d開門比我上車，點知我甜甜的望著他，但他呆呆的望著我。之後我覺得有點奇怪，所以我轉為呆呆的望回他，最後司機忍奈不住，用手指著後方....噢！是的...電車是在尾部上車，前部落車的....:P

上車後立即開車，原來我們對望的時間剛剛是整個紅燈的時間...

仲有，坐電車是落車才付費的..嘻嘻！

呀仔，我為左你青少年成長，瘀爆都無所謂...

****不要誤會，我不是第一次坐電車，只是極少坐而已，大鄉里出城嘛***

Where is the power come from?

One day a friend of mine asked me on WhatsApp "我成日都想請教你，人人都得24小時，你點可以兼顧咁多野！？"( translated: how can you manage so many things as everyone has 24 hours?)

My answer is " Priorities ... I believe He strengthens me to do all things He guides me to do. I love the ministry I am working at.

My passion is following my vision given by God based on His calling to me."

The following bible verse is the secret that I trust.

"Glory to God, who is able to do far beyond all that we could ask or imagine by his power at work within us; (Ephesians 3:20 )"

What is your passion in life my friends? Listen to your heart and follow your passion, priorities will naturally followed.

同路人

昨天和朋友談到友誼與內心世界等等話題。其實我們每個人也有內心爭扎的時候，一些內心的重擔（例如：自私，自大，自卑，軟弱，貪婪，妒忌，鬥爭，寛恕，害怕，失敗，失落，空虛，疑惑甚至情慾等等）令到我們情緒和心理上感覺迷失，似要面對這些，但又沒有能力或勇氣去面對，爭扎日積月纍...內心不自由又沈重...那怎會有喜樂呢？

我們除了需要一位洞悉我們需要的神外，生命歷程上還需要一位同路人，一個「以愛心說誠實話」的同行者來洞察我們的內心世界，願意與我們分析分擔我們的內心爭札。誠實面對自己的爭札，已致靠著主的力量改變自己。

你身邊有同行者嗎？

膏油和香料使人心暢快，朋友真誠的勸勉也使人覺得甘甜。 (箴言 27:9 ）

你們各人的重擔要互相擔當，這樣就成全了基督的律法。 (加拉太書 6:2 )

看哪！你喜愛的是內心的誠實；在我內心的隱密處，你使我得智慧。 (詩篇 51:6 )

日記後評語

剛看到Zac的中文日記簿功課...紅字為老師看日記後評語，鉛筆為Zac 的回應。

pillow

Oh my goodness, found out this while I was putting the kids to bed!!!! Vienna drew on her pillow then she found this Snow White is so scary to sleep with, so she cut it up and threw it to the rubbish bin. 呀女，你想點呀...自已嚇自已,仲要驚到剪難掉左！Halloween 都唔使咁㗎！

today's quiet time

My thought on today's quiet time: 
我們大多都認同「知足常樂」，問題是我們有真正的「足」嗎？物質的「足」不能使心靈「常樂」，心靈仍是空虛。真正心靈「滿足」的來源來自你認識它的供應者。願你能找到滿足的泉源。
「我的神必照他在基督耶穌裡榮耀的豐富，滿足你們的一切需要。」 (Philippians 腓立比書 4:19)

玩

Lukas " Look mum!"
我＂叫你幫手摺衫啫，係都要玩＂
Zac "咦Lukas, 咁著daddy 條褲，唔嗅咩？＂

Lukas 立即除下

結局：係咪呢，自己除極都除唔到，最後要哥哥姊姊幫手才成功脫下。睇你下次仲敢唔敢玩呢個！

chatting with Lukas

昨天玩得太髒，所以幫Lukas 洗澡，他突然問：

Lukas " 媽咪，我大個左會唔會做乞衣（乞丐）㗎？」

我「每個人都有機會做乞衣嘅」

Lukas 「我諗我都係唔會做乞衣嘅，除非我專登（故意）做啦。」

我「咁你知唔知乞衣同其他大部份人有咩分別？」

Lukas 「乞衣冇錢囉」

我「係呀，咁你知唔知點解佢地冇錢吖？」

Lukas 「可能有d跌左張credit card 係火車同月台之間嘅gap , 攞唔番，所以冇晒錢」

我「跌左落去，地鐡職員會幫佢地攞番㗎嘛」

我繼續說「你諗下乞衣同其他人有咩唔同？」

Lukas 「佢地污糟d」

我「仲有呢？」

Lukas 好像說不出來，那我繼續「有冇留意佢地有d係冇手，冇腳嘅呢？或有其他disabilities 嘅呢？佢地因為咁情況，所以搵唔到工作做，所以就冇錢...」

當我想繼續多說一點時，Lukas 快快的插咀「媽咪，你唔好講呢d啦，我唔想聽呀，佢地好可憐呀」

我「係咪因為咁，所以你同家姐有時會比你地賺到嘅錢比d乞衣呀？」

Lukas 點頭表示。（我見到Vienna 和Lukas 很多時給錢給路邊的乞丐的）

Lukas 又突然問「係呢，上次係台灣踩單車撞親嘅香港學生，而家佢點呀？」

*** 關心社會大大小小嘅事的你，希望長大後可以做福人群***

casting

今日和Lukas 的對話：

我「你明天返半日學，下午想唔想去一個casting 呀？」

Lukas 「有冇錢㗎？冇我就唔去喇，唔想嘥我d時間同埋你d車錢呀」

我「有，揀中嘅話。」

我繼續「咁如果有d jobs係幫到人嘅，做善事嘅，例如幫d 大陸有需要嘅小朋友或者幫d動物協會，佢地要拍廣告來宣傳，但呢個job係冇錢收嘅。我唔介意花車錢帶你去拍攝，咁你又願唔願意唔收錢拍呢？」

Lukas 「都應該唔會。」

我「點解呢？」

Lukas 「因為如果我拍，d人見到個廣告，以為係捐錢比d英文國家，因為我個樣係英文人，所以佢地應該會搵中國人拍呢個廣告」

***呀仔，呢樣都比你諗埋？！***

First day of primary school

First day for Zac and Lukas going to the same primary school today.Inside the car on the way to school:

Zac " Lukas, your nightmare starts today..." ( 係都要嚇下細佬...哈哈）

Lukas "Don't worry Zac, it just a dream " ( 哈哈...回得好，都相信你唔會比呀哥洗腦。）

***Anyway, wishing all lovely kids will have a happy and satisfied academic year，God bless**

Grace

Vienna went to an ice cream shop while I was receiving my spectacles prescription in an optical shop next door. She came back with a big big smile on her face. 

She told me she only had enough money for a plain ice cream in a cone but the 

salesperson (happened to be her ex classmate's mum) paid for the topping (hundreds and thousands) for her (her favorite topping on desserts).

Yes, it really is a joyful thing when we get something good for free, isn't it? We don't deserve it but we get it for doing nothing. This is called GRACE.
The salesperson was gracious to Vienna and Vienna received the ice cream gratefully.

❤Jesus has prepared an abundant life (i.e. full and meaningful) for you - you can receive it for free. And you can experience the real joy of this free gift. I got the gift therefore I can tell you how ..if you want to know it...❤

Secrets of Success God's Lifelines by Judy Douglass

Praise the Lord that Jeremy Lin's event went great today. It wasn't an event to worship a super star but to see the true God through Jeremy. We see God's faithfulness, sovereignty and guidance..and more through his testimony. The speaker's 

teaching was excellent guidance to have a successful life and also a good reminder to those who have already had successful lives.

A book I just finished reading called "Secrets of Success" written by Judy Douglass tells us 12 "secrets" (from the bible) to have a successful life. Jeremy Lin's success actually has all 12 secrets mentioned in this book including Be humble and Trust God (these two impressed me the most from his life).

You are welcome to borrow this book from me but please make sure you return it to me. Thank you Judy for the great book, may your teaching bless lots of people with His purpose.

Playing "Restaurant"

Zac is on holiday in China, Vienna and Lukas are playing "Restaurant" at home. See how serious they play---> Vienna designed this menu for the restaurant! I am surprised that I am not one of the chefs but Lukas is the Star chef... LOL. I am assigned to be the customer. Anyone wants to order from this restaurant? Hahaha..

When I woke up I saw this...

I was very tired after being out for the whole day, fell asleep on the sofa. Then saw this when I woke up... a little refreshment for my day.

Lukas' fashion sense

Saw this scene in the living room this afternoon: 

Me" Wow.. Lukas, what fashion sense is this? Why is your leg like that ? ＂

Lukas said " I want to be like Zac!" while he was taking off the rubber bands. ( refers to Zac's "Adidas tattoo" done the other day)

The mark on his leg says " Who's on the inside ？＂（即「誰在你𥚃面？」）

These are the rubber bracelets given to the students at a student conference in NZ years ago. Daddy was clearing his old stuff today and found them. The carved statement " Who's on the inside?" reminds us to think who is inside our lives -- Jesus. It works just like those bracelets carved with "WWJD" ( i.e. What Would Jesus Do)

*** Go for it Lukas, I think it is great to bring Jesus into the fashion field ... Haha...
Anyway, our Lord is the Alpha and Omega and You should be trendy at all times!! ***

A cool tattoo

Some of you might know Zac is very sporty--he thinks this is a so cool tattoo on his ankle (done by his sock), therefore he asked me to take a photo of it.

Vienna's first camp by herself

Chatting with Vienna after her camp: 

「Conversation 1」
Me"How were the leaders in the camp Vienna ?"

Vienna "They were good and they were from Taiwan, Germany, Korea and HK. I was in a Mandarin group ( the leader is Taiwanese)"

Me " oh.. Did you understand what she said?"

Vienna "My leader asked me if I wanted to join the English group (in which the leader is German) and I said I wanted to stay with the Mandarin group coz my Mandarin isn't good and I wanted to learn it better. Only 3 days... I could cope ! So I stayed with the Mandarin group!"

Me" that's great Vienna"

「Conversation 2」
Daddy " Vienna, where do you want to have dinner tonight?"

Vienna " doesn't matter coz I had the worst food already ( in the camp)"

** wow, we can't believe a picky eater in our family said that. Great learning from the camp... LOL**

停一停，想一想

話說Lukas 和Vienna 在家玩耍時，Lukas 用腳踢Vienna 的肚子，我沒有看見事情發生，但見Vienna 雙手抱著肚子哭泣。

我「Lukas, 你踢Vienna個肚呀？點解你要咁做？」

Lukas 開始大哭「我講左對唔住喇....」

我「我聽唔到喎...」

Lukas 繼續哭「但我講左對唔住，Daddy話okay 喇」

我「咁係咪殺左人，say sorry...可以唔使坐監呀？我要罰你..」

Lukas 跑到daddy 身邊大哭大叫「Daddyyyyyyyy....」

在看奧運的Daddy 「Yes, he said sorry to Vienna already , he didn't hit her on purpose , just let them sort it out」

我「咁唔得喎，佢唔係第一次咁㗎喇, 之前都打過Vienna...」

怎料滿臉涙水的Lukas 站在我們前面，振振有詞的對我們說「你地傾掂點教小朋友先啦，daddy 又咁講，但係媽咪你又咁講，快d去傾啦，去啦...去啦。」

聽完他的「忠告」後 ，我突然想起我教過parenting 課的一個內容，就是「教導孩子，父母要有一致的想法」。我突然住口，不再繼續駡Lukas...（真的是：停一停，想一想」的情況。

怎料同時，Lukas 轉過Vienna 處，抱緊Vienna , 大聲的對她說「Sorry Vienna...」

Vienna 破涕為笑...抱抱Lukas.

***我頓然覺得自己太衝動，Lukas 是沒意踢Vienna 的，只是玩耍時踢到，但我就把他以前的錯誤也再搬出來一起唸他，實在不是***

那我最後同意Karl 的做法，所以沒有繼續說什麼的。又要趕時間帶Vienna 和Lukas 外出，Lukas 還一邊走一邊抹涙的跟著我去等小巴。

唉~~~可憐的孩子，有一個衝動的娘。

**I am praying for myself to be a better mum for my kids**

Need to work hard on this.

CUTE

Having my dinner break outside..
Lukas grasped this block from the table once we sat down in the restaurant.
Me " Lukas, leave the toy on the table, someone will come back very soon to take the toy, someone forgot to take it after eating he

re"

Lukas " No... I looked around and saw all the tables have this block, so it is from the restaurant , not someone's toy"

Then I looked around and he was right, every table has one on it.

Me " so what is this for?"

Lukas " don't know" ( kept playing with it until he opened the top)

* it is a tooth picks container * CUTE

2 Timothy 1:7

沒有看電視新聞的習慣，今天晚飯後想看看有關中學生明天放榜的有
關新聞。新聞報導中段的廣告時段,播出一位運動員說出的一句話「失敗係使我繼續奮鬥嘅動力」

怎料坐我隔離的Lukas 對著電視"回應＂道「你講大話！」

我「嘩，你咁激動嘅！點解你咁講呢？」

Lukas 「因為佢唔勁先咁講之嘛...」

****Lukas 說罷便走了去拿蘋果吃。不知怎麼的，運動員這句話令我思想了好一
陣子。他說的其實很正面，很有正能量，但思想自己，每當遇上失敗，都有鬱鬱不歡的情況（有時還會持續幾天）。情緒波動幾天，問題不大，最大的問題是我怎樣可以有力量起來，繼續行走，繼續嘗試？
就是個「怕」字使我不敢再嘗試，但我又知道是要向前走的。人的倚
靠不夠，還需要有神的話語來幫助。

"For God did not give us a spirit of timidity, but a spirit of power, of love and of self-discipline. (2 Timothy 1:7 )"
「因為上帝賜給我們，不是膽怯的心，乃是剛強、仁愛、謹守的心。

 (提摩太後書 1:7 )」

就是這句話使我每次跌下時也有信念，力量再站起來去嘗試！God
I love You!

明天便是放榜日，無論得或失 ，前面也有著很多新挑戰，路是要繼續走的，只要生命有正能量，有
真理的信念，你是可以繼續豁然開朗的前進。

祝福明天放榜的學生們！
