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！

恭喜好朋友仔

話說Lukas 幼稚園的好朋友派位時派不到跟Lukas 同校，所以Lukas 為之哭泣。

今日收到好消息，他的好朋友最終「敲門」成功入讀此校。

當我告訴Lukas這個消息時，他尖叫一聲後，一邊衝入房間一邊大叫＂我而家真係開心到喊（哭）呀！＂

我"咦？Lukas, 你真喊(哭）喎＂

Lukas 撐住＂唔係呀，水之嘛＂

**唔好睇呢隻衰仔成日笑笑口，其實佢都好眼淺**

恭喜好朋友仔！

小病是福

I felt the kidney pain and passed out blood, so I went to the hospital in the early morning today. Returning home at about 6:30am,  I felt much better after a long sleep and taking the medicine. Yes I was worried coz of the pain and blood. I am glad that I went to the hospital early enough and the x-ray said no kidney stones found. It was the infection and should be recovered real soon under antibiotics.
Due to my current condition, Vienna volunteered to make afternoon tea for Lukas and I let her. She cooked French Toast ( decorated as a smiling face) accompanied with a pot of flower she made and a nice glass of water for Lukas. What a 5 Star service to your little brother Vienna! And thanks Zac for doing the laundry today too. 真係「小病是福」，今日我可以全日休息！明天應該可以很精神的預備ladys group 的studies.了。Thank you so much for all the greetings from phone and on facebook. 

感謝主，感謝您們！

羅慧娟姐姐

今日看了新聞後，找出相片來和Lukas談話：

我「Lukas,記唔記得呢個姐姐呀？」

Lukas 「唔記得」

我「記唔記得你係 Skechers 嘅function，你除左同Sammi 鄭秀文姐姐影過相之外，都有同呢個羅慧娟姐姐影相呀？」

Lukas 「哦....我記得喇」

我「Lukas, 我想同你講，呢個姐姐今日死左...」

Lukas 「佢點死㗎?」

我「cancer....病死」

Lukas 「咁佢信唔信耶穌㗎？」

我「信，佢信㗎」

Lukas 「你點知佢信？」

我「我睇過佢嘅video，佢講過佢點樣信耶穌㗎...係呢，點解你咁問嘅？」

Lukas 「因為信耶穌，第時可以復活囉」

我「係呀，你講得岩呀」

Lukas 「媽咪，咁你會唔會哭㗎？」

我「唔會...佢會上天堂嘅」（當然主要的原因是我跟這位姐姐是不認識的）

Lukas 「係呀，如果佢嘅墳墓有個十字㗎，就代表佢係信耶穌，可以上天堂㗎喇」

**是的，神你說過----「因為我父的意思是叫一切見子而信的人得永生，並且在末日我要叫他復活。」 (約翰福音 6:40)**

Rest in the Lord, Jacqueline

畢業

幼稚園的畢業典禮已完滿結束。為Lukas的成長滿心感恩（感謝神，感謝學校的員工們和同學的家長們）。他在這所夢寐以求的幼稚園過了三年非常愉快，充滿關愛的幼兒學習生活。沒有課本，但卻充滿知識；沒有嚴厲的校規，但每個小朋友也很懂得以禮待人及守規矩。緣於學校以「愛」為本的教育宗旨。

仍然很清楚記得三年前的入學interview, 雖然心想機會不大，但實在太喜歡這所幼稚園，所以這是我為Lukas 唯一報考的幼稚園。加上禱告，很高興Lukas被錄取。

因為是學生人數少，所以學生和家長們都比較熟絡。除了上下課見面外，我們還有在假日相約活動，有些家長還會有更深入的生命分享，我們一同歡笑，一同哭泣，互相支持鼓勵，大家都很珍惜這段友誼！

相聚有時，分離有時。我們的小朋將會到不同的小學升讀，當然依依不捨。但人總是要成長的啦..我深信天父愛每一個孩子，所以衪定會看顧他們的前路..

聖經說「教養孩童，使他走當行的道，就是到老他也不偏離。 (箴言 22:6)」

讓我們繼續跟孩子一同學習。

原則

話說Vienna為酒店拍了一個廣告，需要穿泳衣的,因為拍攝酒店泳池景：

Lukas "媽咪，Vienna 使唔使著bikini 㗎？＂

我＂應該唔使嘅，佢係小朋友嘛＂
Lukas "如果係有少少喊濕嘅，你叫佢唔好拍呀！仲有，如果拍泳衣 ，要女仔agent 睇住佢喎，男仔拍，就要男仔agent 睇住＂（因為佢知有時agents 會跟jobs). 

我＂我地知㗎喇，係呢，點解唔好拍喊濕個d呢？＂（很想聽他的見解）

Lukas "總之唔好拍啦, 個d唔係咁好㗎，咁你自己拍唔拍吖？＂

我＂都唔會有人搵我拍啦 ，不過我都唔會拍，咁你呢Lukas,你又拍唔拍呢？＂

Lukas "你唔拍，我都唔拍＂

***真係估唔到Lukas 幫家姐分析埋家姐嘅jobs，感恩佢有點做事原則***

Talent Show Day

Talent Show Day at Vienna's school. There were different performances: magic show, skit, singing, musical instruments, poems, flower arrangements, skipping, unicycle..etc. Vienna did poem and piano with her friends.

畢業帽絮

幼稚園要求每一位畢業小朋友自製畢業帽絮，這是Lukas 的畢業帽絮。末端的Love 代表學校員工對Lukas的愛，七彩代表學校給予了Lukas 一個多姿多彩的幼稚園生活，七彩也像彩虹一樣代表了神對人的應許，願祂的慈愛應許永伴Lukas,升上小學後繼續過另一個豐盛的學習生活！感謝主！
