Does Flinstone Qualify for Macbook?

Many many ages ago Mac caught my eyes with it's light weight, less(or not at all) prone to virus attack, fast boot up and many other features. Having certain level of fear, i ended up with Acer, going for the lightweight version as well. But alas, i have to accommodate with smaller screen which was fine for me. I was ever so intimidated that i dared not upgrade to Windows 8 and still maintained with XP, fearing that some of my programs may ended incompatible. That's how pathetic i have to be. So keeping myself as dinosaur as i can be seemed to be the safest option. An old friend started asking me where is my Flinstone family ---- referring to my dinosaur technology with no wireless home environment. It was a good topic to start off with about keeping radiation as low as possible. It was even a better topic for old friends to tease me because only old friends will tease without second thoughts. That reminded of this: “Rivers know this: there is no hurry. We shall get there some day.” ― A.A. Milne, Winnie-the-Pooh

换愿望

给他们自己准备午餐。今天是番薯泥，烫青豆，烫玉蜀黍，煎蛋，加面包。 竺妤削了番薯皮，柔帆切成番薯块，放进锅里煮。煮熟了，竺妤再压烂。 煎了蛋。 香喷喷的美食下肚后，竺妤说，我要换愿望了，我要做厨师。^.^ 不问，都知道她多么享受那个烹饪的过程了。

给孩子的尊重

看到了过去的学生的部落格那么写着自己，“我想老师也搞不懂我在念的是什么科系，但是她就只问了我一个问题，这科是你想要念的吗？那是我突然之间冒出了莫名感动。老师，你的这一道问题可以看到你对学生的关心是不一样的。因为其他老师通常都会问，你这科念完后可以…什么又什么的…？” 。 我有莫名的伤感。难道真的没有别的老师可以往孩子的心灵上建绿洲吗？我多么希望我不是那个唯一给孩子那份尊重的老师，要不然学校就会更快变成沙漠了。 久别了，学校！然而，教育的工作，我想我还是在耕耘着。http://jackgohstep.blogspot.com/2012/01/blog-post_29.html. For awhile, i wept and wept. knowing the fact that little acts and stories can touch a life. as what Rudolf Steiner had mentioned, "it is not what you teach that matters, it is who you really are that matters." 在庙会，遇到了旧时的学生。当年，成绩平平，但学习态度很好的，都上了大学，见到老师也会问候一番。这孩子，当年，终是在吃了东西来教务处会问‘蠢蠢’的数学问题，能够为他解答，是我的幸福，他的热诚深深让我感动。当年，也有几个成绩平平的孩子，都上了大学，还有一个拿着master in biology---他的最爱，他说他的数学很懒，我说我的数学也不见得好，我记得的是他不放弃的精神。还有一个孩子，在pasar malam 见到时，已经是某公司的automobile engineer，还在进修着master,当年是成绩放牛班的一分子，他说经常借故’旷课’，但是我没有印象，只记得他是个很有礼貌的孩子。回顾这些孩子，让他们‘成功’的，都是因为他们有着谦卑的礼仪，愿意向老师长辈请教的学习态度

Simplicity Parenting

As i was listening to Kim John Payne talking about:
"In the society of nowadays, there is always:
- more, more, more
- sooner, sooner, sooner,
- younger,younger, younger"

"There is this boy who doesnt want to go to day care, play dates, or extra tuitions. He just WANT TO GO HOME."
--- sound so familiar that i thought deeply about Kui Han, Hong Zhen's brother who refuses to go to day care center coz he just want to be home. Such a sad phenomena where one own a double storey house, yet the child get to go back to sleep only. An investment to turn it to become a hotel?

" In our family, we do it this way, "This is certainly a amazing toy. But i dont think we can."
Discipline becomes way.
Children establish deeper relationship....coz they are popular kids."
--- i thought of my little girls, who were always popular.... Now i know where it comes from.
When cousin or friends has anything new, they have never asked for this or that. Coz they know they have ENOUGH.

" They know who their family are.
They are strong."

--- How true!
