混血兒

我聼到Lukas問Vienna "Vienna,你係唔係混血兒呀？＂
Vienna"係呀，咁你呢？＂
Lukas驚訝地說＂點解你知嘅？媽咪))))) Vienna 點解知道混血兒嘅？係咪你話比佢知架？＂

****事源Lukas 最近先知呢個名詞，唔掛得以之人地問佢係咪混血兒，佢有時答「混血兒？混血管吖？」。我仲以為佢講笑，但原來佢之前真係唔識呢個名詞！****

你唔明架喇

今早Lukas 突然走過來同我講：
Lukas "媽咪，如果我唔返學，我就冇得結婚架喇！＂
我＂點解呀？＂
Lukas "嗱~~~如果我一個人留係屋企，咁咪識唔到女仔，咪結唔到婚囉。＂
我＂咁你返教會同出街時都會見到同識到女仔架嘛。＂
Lukas "但唔返學少左好多機會架嘛＂
我＂ 算喇，你而家先係幼稚園，又唔會咁快結婚＂
Lukas "你唔明架喇.."

*****我真係唔明喎，如果我明左，可能我會好驚囉****

Pita Bread

It was a big drama this morning while the kids were having their breakfast. Lukas took the pita bread out to make his breakfast. Vienna ate his bread ( she didn't know Lukas took this out for himself) while Lukas was getting his milk from the fridge. He threw a tantrum with screaming and crying on the floor when he returned to the table. He didn't even accept half of the bread Vienna offered him.

I was pretty annoyed by his tantrum but wanted to laugh when I heard he said " I want the whole bread, it was mine! I don't have bread to eat now. You think I am Jesus? I can't turn things into bread. "

The story ended with I promised to buy the pita bread again and Lukas ate another type of bread for breakfast. Now Vienna and Lukas are playing happily together before going to Vienna's parent-teacher interview today.

陳老師

今早收到一個msg,是以前的一位學生給我問候,她現於一所特殊學校任教。當我回msg問她的近況如何時，她以下的回答很令我感動：她寫
「我發現，我今日第一個笑容，是我返校後，見到學生由心而發的。
我愛這分工作，它教會我如何做一個人，應怎樣活着，什麼是生命，縱然我亦看到很多悲情故事。
他們教會我一件很重要的事，叫接受。只要慢慢學會了接受，便更容易擁有幸福。至少 二十四歲的我是如此相信。」陳老師，祝福妳用愛的生命影響更多人。

我係Indian

今日Lukas 第一次唔用三角巾托住隻石膏手返學：
我＂Lukas,唔用三角巾得唔得？＂
Lukas 一邊搖頭一邊答＂唔得...呀..得...得..得架＂
我＂咁你又搖頭？＂
Lukas "我係Indian嘛。＂
***好！咁都比你兜番***


Note: Indians講話時，他們都擰頭, 他們的擰頭等如我們的點頭意思 [different cultural body gestures]

Vienna 的中文

我最初以為佢想講蓋印係ticket 既廣東話＂吸飛=stamp the ticket。我仲同佢講話唔可以直寫廣東話
點知Vienna答＂唔係呀，係＂cafe"呀＂
****嘩,上次茶餐廳叫[Tea House],今次cafe 叫[吸飛].Vienna, 點解你成日都要發明d字而唔去發掘下真正既寫法呢！****

NEH MIND

We took our friends from Singapore to have dinner tonight and they gave the kids some lollies with Singlish printed on. When Edmund (Zac's classmate came with us) dropped one of the lollies but when Edmund picked it up from the floor, the lolly said "Neh Mind" (the Singlish print on it) ..which means "Never Mind". We all cracked up.

Before we left the restaurant, Lukas deliberately dropped the same lolly on the floor and it cracked, but still saying "Neh Mind" ....LOL. We had a lovely dinner together.

受了傷的Lukas語錄：

Lukas jumped off the slide and broke his arm

（1）昨天上了救護車時一邊哭一邊對醫護叔叔說＂嗚~~~我唔想上電視呀,嗚~~~＂

醫護叔叔＂吓! 唔係嘛,咁都會上電視？！＂

****因為他以為每次有救護車出來救人都會係電視新聞出現****

======================================================================

（2）Lukas “媽咪，我係咪去唔到聽（音）日既Bossini job 呀？＂

我＂唔係聼（音）日呀，係下個星期呀，不過都做唔到呢個job架喇，我會同你cancel全個11月既job架喇＂

Lukas “咁我咪可以用呢d 時間打機囉？＂

我＂你一隻手點打機呀？＂

Lukas “係喎~~＂

Daddy “it is good that not your left hand hurt coz you write with your left hand ”

Lukas ” but I hit people with my right hand＂

Daddy ” good that you hurt your right hand then!”

======================================================================

（3）昨晚坐在輪椅上，往x-ray 房途中：

Lukas” 我地而家去邊度呀？＂

推著輪椅的嬸嬸＂去照X-光，睇下d骨，唔痛嘅＂

Lukas”係咪好快架？＂

嬸嬸＂好快啫, 咦~~~你唔係外國人咩？點解講中文咁叻嘅？＂

Lukas “可能我跌親隻手，d 中文突然出番黎啦＂

嬸嬸＂吓？＂

*****阿仔，你唔好夜ma ma 嚇呀大嬸啦,不過我都笑左出黎，你個答案實在….哈哈＂

======================================================================

(4)剛剛聼到Lukas 嘆息＂唉~~隻手搞成咁，今個月少左好多錢＂

我忍唔住笑左＂Lukas, 你咁可愛嘅，你會咁諗嘅！＂

Lukas  "係呀嘛"

*** 哈哈~~佢今個月又的確係損失慘重 *****

======================================================================

(5)＂Lukas, 你要食多d有營養既嘢先可以快d好返架。＂

Lukas “我要食多d有鈣質既食物，奶，有骨既魚同埋芝士都會幫助d骨骨生番架。＂

我＂邊個教你架？＂

Lukas “Kindy 囉，Kindy 有教過＂
**********************************************************************************
我＂Lukas, 你行路時要小心d,你會好易跌親，撞到隻手就好麻煩架喇。＂

Lukas “我知~~我而家得一隻手，行路唔可以兩隻手前後咁擺下擺下平衡呀嘛, 就會好易跌倒嘛＂

我＂咦，你點識呢d嘢嘅？咩叫平衡呀？＂

Lukas ＂唧係唔係咁囉＂（身體做出左右搖擺動作）

我＂邊個教你架？＂

Lukas “我自己諗囉，咁我諗得啱唔啱呀？＂

我＂啱！但你都應該知道你係咁高嘅滑梯跳落黎，係有機會整親架啦…你咁都諗唔到嘅咩？＂

Lukas “……嘻嘻…”

*****其實我也不應該唸你那麼久，Get well soon Lukas”

Ouch...my arm is broken

A glove bag

Someone gave Vienna some snacks at church this morning but it wasn't easy for her to hold these little snacks with her hands while playing at the same time. So she found a glove from somewhere to hold her snacks. See...this glove bag even helps you separate the shells from the whole nuts..LOL..

Vienna, you always have funny ideas...I love your creativity...hahahaha..

人和動物

今天我要求Vienna 和 Lukas 清潔車內的座位時:

我 "你地快d 清潔番個位啦, 你睇下d垃圾, 咩都有, 太陽眼鏡啦, 書啦, 頭飾啦, 連餅都有..你地係咪人黎架?" (我真係好激氣, 因為叫左好多次都未有行動去清潔)

Lukas "係呀, 我地唔係人黎架,我地係動物, 嗱~~動物又係食嘢啦, 痾屎啦, 呼吸啦...同人冇分別架"

Vienna "係呀,我地係動物黎架,唔識得執嘢架"

Lukas "但人同動物有一樣嘢唔同嘅,就係人係聰明d, 嗱~~ d 八爪魚唔識寫字架嘛?!"

Vienna "但八爪魚估到Spain 贏波喎!"

Lukas "........."

我 "你地兩個唔使講咁多喇,快d執嘢啦~~~"

***終於有d行動喇,唉!****

Vienna 的中文家課

今日語錄:北極熊

Lukas"媽咪，如果你搵唔到嘢食，你可以食我同哥哥姐姐架＂
我＂點解呀？＂
Lukas "因為你係北極熊囉，北極熊搵唔到嘢食時會食佢地d Baby架＂
我＂點解我係北極熊既？＂
Lukas "可能佢地係食晒d baby,所以d北極熊絕種囉＂
我＂我淨係想知我點解係北極熊先＂
Lukas "冇，講下笑啫＂
****真係講笑咁簡單？*****

一個感恩的晚上

今天旁晚Vienna 很想到shopping mall 買一張"米米 咭" (computer game card), 所以提意我們到外吃飯, 我跟她說 我沒錢外出吃飯, 想不到她豪爽的說要請我們出外吃飯.
那我問她要到那裡吃,她便說她不是很有錢,她要在電腦上找找看,找到之後再告訴我們那一家餐廳.
怎料我看到Vienna 在Google上找"Open Rice" http://www.openrice.com/restaurant/index.htm, 然後輸入 "Tea House" 二字.  (我心想她怎麼會知道Open Rice 這個網站的呢? 我自己也只是用過一兩次, 還要是他們晚上睡了之後才用, 莫非是她舅舅教她的, 再說, 什麼是 "Tea House" 呢?)

我 "你點解識黎"Open Rice" 呢個website 搵餐廳既?"

**Vienna 冇答我***

我"咁咩係Tea House 呀?

Vienna "我有好少錢咋, 我想搵間茶餐廳食dinner 呀"

我" 吓 ???? Tea House 即係茶餐廳咁解呀?"

Vienna 很自信地 "係呀!" (我心諗, 搵到天光都search 唔到啦~~~哈哈)

我提意去平日去過的一些餐廳,Vienna 籌算了一會便決定去吃一家價廉物美的sushi 餐廳!

*******************************************************

快要吃完時, Vienna 說"你地都食完喇, 我地可以走喇~~"

怎料Lukas一邊跟Zac "打眼色", 一邊說 "未喎~~我地未食完喎, 我仲想食呀,係咪呀Zac?"

Zac 回應 "係呀, 我都仲想食呀"

Vienna 臉上的表情已告訴我們,她是恐怕不夠錢付賬 (看到她這臉色,我跟daddy暗暗的偷笑...哈哈)

各人終於吃個飽後, Vienna 是夠錢付賬的.....我們都連聲道謝Vienna.

Vienna 還把剩下來的錢買了一張"米米咭"給自己及買了一個足球給Zac 作禮物

之後Zac 和 Lukas 剪髮去, 回程時Lukas 說他的拇趾很痛 (今天踢足球時弄傷的, 現在走一兩步時還有少少血滲出)

Vienna 立即叫Lukas 把鞋子脫掉, 她要抱著Lukas 走路, 可惜瘦瘦的Vienna 抱起了Lukas 走了幾步, 便不能負荷起Lukas 的體重, 那Zac 自動補上,他背起Lukas 一步一步的從salon 走到停車埸..

(剛巧在途中遇見剛剛買完grocery 的daddy..)

那麼感人的畫面一定要拍下來吧 (相片有點濛,因為有一隻手拿著Lukas 的一隻鞋, 所以只能單手拍攝)

明星

事因Lukas 在9月27日參予過Skechers “Create your S Legend” fashion show ” 後,認知了一位叫 “Sammi 鄭秀文” 的大明星:

9月28日的晚上,當Lukas 剛洗完澡, 在穿衣時問我:

Lukas”媽咪,點解Sammi 既中文名咁既?”

我”咩呀? 即係點呀?”

Lukas “係咪因為佢瘦, 所以叫”鄭瘦文”呀”

我哈哈的笑 “唔係, 係另一個”秀”字黎架,不過Sammi 都幾瘦既,但唔同字黎架”

Lukas “哦~~咁Sammi 細個時係咪model 黎架?”

我”唔係,佢唱歌好叻,所以做左歌星囉..”

Lukas “咁我大個左都係明星囉?” (條問題唔logical 既?! )

我”唔會架喎~~”

***Lukas 剛穿好了衣服, 便走到廳中吃晚飯去***

晚飯時我繼續和Lukas 暢談 “Lukas, 你大個左想做明星咩?”

Lukas 很爽直的答 “係呀!”

我”點解既?”

Vienna 搶答 “因為可以賺錢囉”

我 “其他工作都可以賺錢架,唔一定要做明星啫”

Vienna “但如果你係明星,唔使做好多野,只要有好多人鐘意你,你就可以賺錢” (講到呢份工咁易既…哈哈)

Zac 嘲笑Lukas “係呀Lukas, 你第時會有好多女仔拿住d banners,寫住你個名,係度尖叫架…哈哈”

Vienna “係呀,d 女仔仲會叫 “I love you” 添架…哈哈”

在Zac 和Vienna 的聲聲嘲弄下, Lukas 終於忍不住, 離開座位, 走到他們那邊,用力地推Vienna落地,又打了Zac 數下….(實在激憤呀..哈哈}

待我平靜Lukas 後,我再問他 “點解你想做明星既?”

Lukas 很誠懇的回答 “因為會有好多人鍾意你囉~” (噢~~原來如此~~)

我 “其實唔使做明星都會好多人鍾意你架,只要你做d 好野 , 例如 幫助別人咁,就有人鍾意你架喇, 有d明星做d 唔好既嘢例如吸毒,d人都唔鍾意佢地架”

Lukas “咩係吸毒呀?”

Vienna 搶答 “既係食d 你唔應該食既藥”

(我見Lukas 都好似唔係咁明白,所以說另一例子) 我” 又好似打架啦,如果d明星打架,d 人都唔鍾意佢地架”

Zac”咦 Lukas, 你打架架喎!!”

Lukas 立即好像從夢中醒過來的様子 “吓 ??? 打架都唔得架??? 咁我唔做明星喇!!”

***Hahaa…..Lukas really knows what he wants…..hahaha****

This reminds me of what Spiderman says "with great power comes great responsibility"

生命的真諦

(黃凌鋒同學blog 的全文) —>http://hk.myblog.yahoo.com/sp0102068/article?mid=113

看到這則新聞, 內心很多強烈的感受湧上心頭, 頭愈來愈熱, 耳朵也熱起來, 淚水

已經不能控制了…我哭了!

看了他的blog 全文後, 心裡很想找一首歌送給他, 在youtube 找了一會也找不到

能道出我心聲的, 回到facebook 時, 無意中看見一位朋友shared 一首歌, 

一聽之下, 很激動, 因為這首歌的內容就是我正在找尋的, 

雖然是第一次聽到這首歌, 但實在太巧合了…. 黃同學,

 就把這首歌送給你吧! 遣憾的是, 這首歌來得太遲了!

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JSBd1xCtfQQ&feature=player_embedded#!

我自己在大學做青少年工作,已經有十年之久, 當然接觸過很

多不同學生的過案, 每次得知有悲劇發生時,心裡都很難過!

在New Zealand 事俸時, 有幾個學生的生命故事是令我最深刻的, 

其中一個是一位韓國學生. 還記得有天晚上她致電給我, 說很不開心, 

想自殺,因為那時我是大著肚子, 行動不太方便, 所以叫Karl 和我一同到她家

看看她怎樣, 和她家人談起來, 才知她有bipolar disorder. 和那學生談了很久,

她平靜下來, 我們才離去!

之後找了很多有關bipolar disorder 的資料, 也對這情況了解多些, 知道她要

吃藥,後來因不能學習,所以退學了,之後得知她在家人開設的韓國餐廳工作!

我搬到另一城市後就與她失去了聯絡! 不知道她現在怎樣的生活呢~~

我對很多新進的醫學名稱(for examples :ADD, ADHD, autism, alzheimer’s …etc…) 

也不太理解, 也不知道成因, 但我眼見”患病者” 們有同一個病, 但可以有著非常

不同的生命, 有些很無奈, 很失意潦倒,怨天尤人;但有些比較積極和有喜樂平安! 

關鍵就在家人和朋友的愛,聆聽和鼓勵支持!

祝福每個認為世上沒有人能明白自己的人都找到生命的真諦 (the real meaning of life).

突然又想起這段話,送給每個認同的朋友們:

THE IMPORTANCE OF MONEY

Money can buy houses but not home.
Money can buy beds but not sleep.
Money can buy books but not wisdom.
Money can buy food but not appetite.
Money can buy clocks but not time.
Money can buy medicine but not health.
Money can buy blood but not life.
Money can buy insurance but not safety.
Money can buy entertainment but not blessings.
Money can buy sex but not love.
Money can buy fame but not respect.
Money can buy crucifix but not Savior.

Jesus says “What good is that for a man to gain the whole world, yet forfeit his soul? Or what can a man give in exchange for his soul ?” Mark 8:36-37

大肚

Lukas "Vienna,你想唔想屋企有個BB呀？＂

Vienna "想~~,不過我唔會咁快生BB住wor."

Lukas "咁我生啦＂

Vienna "男仔唔可以生BB架，你有冇見過男仔大肚吖？＂

Zac路過＂有，我地學校都有幾個啦,佢地個肚好大架＂

（三個一同大笑起來）

然後Lukas 正經的對Vienna說＂Vienna,我去到醫院，我會同護士講我結左婚架喇~~"

*****童真可貴******

We are good playmates and we chat about everything all the time. 

休息

Lukas病了也不肯上床休息，我對在床上的他說＂Lukas 你要多d休息先快d好番架＂
Lukas "我想出去廳玩呀，發燒唔關我事架喎，唔係我既錯＂
我＂我知唔關你事，唔係你既錯，只不過你唔睡多d,唔休息多d,咪好耐都好唔番囉，你快d睡啦.."
Lukas "你要我睡到幾時？係咪要我睡到變成老公公果時先可以起身＂（阿仔，你使唔使咁誇張呢！）
我＂最好睡到吃晚飯前起身＂
Lukas 淚水直流"咁我咪玩得好少囉，我唔想睡呀，如果睡完好番，返學又比同學傳染多次，咪又病多次囉，如果唔睡，唔洗咁快好番，咁咪唔使返學住，咪唔使被人再傳染多次，咪唔使病多次囉＂(呀仔，你唔好咁多＂道理＂得唔得？！）
我＂總之，你好唔番你咪冇得玩囉，你唔睡，到晚飯時都唔可以出房，我會拿晚飯來你房比你吃既，你唔使出房架喇，嗱~~如果你唔拖延時間，而家睡幾個鐘，咪快d好番囉，即係快d可以出房玩囉，明唔明白呀？＂
Lukas 點頭表示明白，抹掉淚水和鼻涕後，轉頭便睡了。Lukas 你要快d康復過來啊，很多小朋友等著跟你玩耍的啊！

送空氣

今天回家途中：

Vienna 向我投訴 "媽咪,Zac呃我呀！＂

我"佢點呃你呀？＂

Vienna"佢話如果我幫佢做d野，佢會送樣好重要好寶貴既嘢比我。我幫完佢之後，你知唔知佢送左d咩比我呀？＂

我＂咩呀？＂

Vienna "佢送左d空氣比我呀!"

Zac辯護＂空氣好重要架wor...,你唔呼吸一陣就會死架喇，所以係好寶貴架＂

Vienna 心有不甘＂但空氣唔屬於你架嘛，你應該送比我你自己有既嘢嘛＂

Zac 招招積積＂我係我既口吐出黎比你架wor..屬於我架wor.."

Lukas 正義地說＂係啦，空氣個個人都有啦，使咩你送啫，係咪呀Vienna"

Vienna "係囉.."

二對一之下，Zac面有難色。

*****************************************************************************************

回到家下了車，我先快步開門去，他們隨後，開門後,Lukas跟我說＂媽咪，Zac話同我＂絕交＂呀，但我唔知咩係＂絕交＂呀，我問佢，佢又唔答我＂ （我心諗：佢同左你絕交就唔同你講嘢架wor...所以咪唔答你囉）。

怎料三個一走進屋內，Vienna 立即從書包拿出訂購課外書的catalogue時，三人立即忘記剛剛的＂仇恨＂，一起開開心心的討論他們想要買那些書。

*****有時喜歡聼他們有趣的對話，因為聼完可以調劑一下緊張既一天****

君子動口不動手

跟Lukas 和Zac在等巴士時（天啊，共等了45分鐘),


因為等太久了，兩小孩開始沒耐性,又開始動手動腳玩fighting,


 因Lukas 玩得太肉緊,咬了Zac的屁股一下，


Zac痛得大叫＂Lukas，君子動口不動手唔係咁解架~~＂。


排在隔離隊的女士看到都爆笑了...
