三餐與牛排－－給孩子"優質時間(Quality time)"

我們家裡有三個小孩，老三出生時，我們常常叫她「小寶貝」。為了不使另外兩個人傷心，老二就叫「中寶貝」，老大叫「大寶貝」，還有一個是「老寶貝」，他們都叫我「媽咪」，並且他們給我一個封號-「超級大寶貝」!
四年前，當時九歲的老大對我說：「媽咪，妳可以再和我一起做蛋糕，像小時候一樣嗎？說不定等勻勻長到我這麼大，你就不會太忙，就可以了吧？」那時我聽了很難過，為他的懂事，為他的耐心(他本是心急的孩子)而心疼。常常，孩子們一直在等，等哪一天父母不忙了，可以重溫小時候記憶中，和父母一起的溫馨時光。
　
寒假中，我們花了幾個早上買齊了做蛋糕的各種材料，終於又像他小時候一樣，你加一匙糖，我加一杓麵粉地，合力做了一個蛋糕，等烤好了，他吃不多，喜歡的只是過程。
　
有一個孩子，常常問父親：「爸爸，我們什麼時候可以去釣魚？」父親說，週末吧。到了週末，孩子早早起床，卻看到父親正要出門，還把高爾夫球具放進了車子。孩子一直等，等到了傍晚，父親回來了，孩子說：「爸爸，我們什麼時候可以去釣魚？」父親說：「我加了一天班﹐太累了，明天再說。」但是，明天又明天，這明天一直沒有來。孩子長大了，老父親說：「什麼時候我們一起去釣魚吧？」孩子說：「對不起，爸爸﹐我現在很忙，要加班，要照管一家大小，還得去學校開家長會。」
　
現在世界上的觀念，說時間的質比量重要，就是所謂的優質時間(Quality time)，就是不在乎和孩子在一起的時間有多少，而在乎和他一起做什麼。其實這是一個似是而非的理論。
　
道生博士(Dr. James Dobson)舉了一個例子。(他是在美國提倡注重家庭的基督教領袖，著有『管與教』等書，銷售超過一百萬本。)有一個人去吃牛排，等了半天，餓極了，終於侍者端上來一塊小小的牛排.「怎麼這麼小？」「這是最上等的一種牛排。」「可是我吃不飽。」

我們的孩子需要品質好的食物，但固定，足夠的三餐更重要。我們不能整天不在家，然後給孩子十分鐘的優質時間，就認為他會滿足了。優質時間，是他興沖沖放學時，你在那裡聽他說得興高采烈。優質時間，是他心情沮喪地回家時，你在那裡傾聽，安慰，鼓勵。如果錯過了，等我們有空時，問他「今天過得如何？」，他只會說「還好！」。

寫了許多詩歌的作者Gloria Gaither說，她父母做得最好的一件事就是「在場」。你知道一個孩子做錯事，最壞的結果是什麼嗎?就是沒有被抓到。當我們常常在孩子生命中「缺席」時，會有什麼後果？
我們家有好幾年實行的一項「優良傳統」，就是和孩子「單獨約會」。每個孩子每三個月有一天是屬於他的特別日子，和爸爸或媽媽做他選擇的事。譬如老大和爸爸去清華吃飯，然後下盤棋；老二和我買張月台票，在火車站看火車，他會不捨地說：「再看一列自強號，一列復興號，一列莒光號就走！」老三可能是爸爸帶去吃個冰淇淋。雖然有三個孩子，我們希望他們覺得自己是父母眼中，「獨一的嬌兒」。

這些是親子間的優質時間，但每天看似平淡的時光，「量」的累積更重要。偶而的一餐牛排不能取代每日三餐。

每過一日，孩子就像一塊磚一塊磚地被建造起來，我們讓誰來做這樣的工作？當建造不好，要拆是很痛苦的事。有一個人發現孩子學了保母說話不誠實的毛病，要改掉這習慣是很不容易的。有人說，養成一個好習慣，須要六個月；也有人說，一個行為造成一個習慣，一個習慣造成一個個性，一個個性造成一個人生。每一日都何等重要。我們所花的時間，構成我們的生活，也為孩子的人生奠基。

有一位教育家說，要一天四次擁抱你的孩子。我盡量提醒自己，孩子說話時專心聽，也注視他們的眼睛。常常，就在這專注的時刻，心中湧起對他們的愛，就會自然地抱抱他們。擁抱，親吻，稱讚，鼓勵，這些永遠不嫌太多。一個孩子心中的愛槽注滿了的時候，他只會把愛流露出去，而不是成為一個「give me, give me」(給我，給我)不滿的孩子。四年級的老二上學期得了五育獎及模範生，但最讓我們欣慰的是，老師給的評語：「謝謝韡函對XX同學的包容和幫助。」

前美國總統布希夫人，在衛斯理女子學院畢業典禮上致詞：「等妳們到了我這個年紀，你不會因為失去一筆生意，或少了一個客戶而後悔，但妳若沒有花時間在丈夫孩子身上，妳會悔恨不已。」

有一個母親在孩子的房間，一直說：「我還有好多話要告訴你，對不起，我一直都那麼忙。」她一直說，一直抱歉，最後，孩子放下收好的皮箱說：「媽，何必再說什麼呢，我明天就要去念大學了。」一個孩子在我們身邊差不多有十八年，日子很快會過去，我們也有一天要交出成績單。放棄作父母的責任，就會失去作父母的權柄。一個叫不動的孩子，常常也是個心中沒有被愛注滿的孩子。願我們趁還有時間花在孩子身上時，作盡職的選擇。

是时候想想该给小雅什么生活环境，态度与时间！

十全十美的一天

今天早上，我感到特別的爽。
　
我的五十肩，已經伴隨我快五年了，每天早上醒來，第一個感覺就是左手臂隱隱作痛，可是今天，一點感覺都沒有了。
　
窗外，天特別的藍。微風吹進來，還帶一些桂花的香味。
　
我的枕邊人，卻不見了。原來她在替我做早飯。結婚以後，我就告訴我老婆，人家貴為英國首相的柴契爾夫人，都會替她老公每天早上做早飯，妳也應該如此。我老婆一口拒絕，她說：『早上睡早覺是神聖不可侵犯的人權，早飯你只好自理了。可是如果你做成了英國首相，我願意替你每天做早飯。』這是什麼邏輯﹖今天，她卻一反常態，在問我：『老公，你要吃炒蛋，還是荷包蛋﹖』
　
上班了，我照樣偷偷地看報，那位可惡的科長走進來看到我在看報，竟然一句話也不說，還和我聊了幾句。
　
業務會報，我照例亂講一氣，科長聽了以後，居然無所謂的樣子，可是我的那些同事全被他罵得狗血淋頭。
　
吃午飯的時候，更怪的事發生了，別人的菜都一模一樣地用大鍋菜燒出來的，我卻有一盤回鍋肉，味道也完全對我的胃口，那有這麼巧﹖
　
我實在忍不住了，正好隔壁的老王是我的知己，因此我就問他，『老兄，怎麼回事﹖為什麼我今天什麼事都順利得不得了﹖』
　
老王反問我『你真的不知道﹖』
　
『我真的不知道。』
　
『要知道真相嗎﹖』
　
『我當然要。』
　
『那就告訴你吧，你已經死了。你應該知道，只有死人才會有這種十全十美的日子。』
我大聲抗議：『你胡說，你胡說，我活得好好的......』
x x x x x x x x x x x x x x x x x x x x x x x x x x x x x
『老公，你怎麼又講夢話了﹖』我被我的老婆推醒。『真討厭，一大早講夢話，害得我被你吵醒了。』
我揉了一下眼睛，立刻感到我的肩膀隱隱作痛，我的黃臉婆蓬頭散髮地睡在我旁邊，我忽然覺得她好可愛，忍不住去親了她一下。
　
『你瘋了，老瘋子。』這下子她真醒了，立刻下達命令：『下班以後，買一斤里肌肉，我還要一些蕃茄，........。』她還在下命令的時候，我早就溜了出來。我知道她的脾氣。只要我記得一兩件東西，帶回家亮相，就可以交差，反正她是個寬宏大量的人。
外面下著大雨，沒有柴契爾夫人替我燒早飯，我只好撐著傘，先去門口小店去吃燒餅油條，然後在雨中擠上了公車上班。
　
上班的時候，我老是笑嘻嘻地。中午，老王對我說『老李，你吃錯了什麼藥﹖平常只聽到你發牢騷，是個牢騷大王，今天怎麼一句埋怨的話都沒有了﹖』我說『老王，發什麼牢騷﹖如果你一早醒來，發現世界美得不得了，一點牢騷都沒有，那你就完了。』老王太年輕，他似乎聽不懂我的意思。

This is our world, this is our life...用心面对，每天都回过得充实快乐。。少一份牢骚，多一份自在 :)

心中長了蟲的小孩

看過只有六歲、三歲的兄弟，為了讓爸爸跟他們跪下道歉認錯，而耍了令人難以置信的心機！
那是我在工讀時的情景，我和幾個工讀生都不爽老闆對我們的壓榨，只是來工讀，卻還要肩負「保母」的身份，幫他帶兩個頭疼的小孩，兩個小兄弟要去吃麥當勞，花的是自己的錢，老闆不會給，就當你請他的兒子吃飯，跟你說謝謝。如果你第一次當成自己是冤大頭而認栽請了客，之後就有無數的惡夢！因為兩個小朋友一從安親班下課後，就來磨著你請他們去吃麥當勞，如果你拒絕的話，他們就會當場大吵大鬧，讓所有客人對你側目。最後，老闆竟對你動怒說，「你就先墊一下錢帶他們去吃漢堡會怎樣？你讓孩子在店裡鬧，又讓他們哭，實在是罪不可恕！」到最後，我們一看到那兩個如惡魔般的小兄弟，都躲的遠遠的。我們都非常納 悶，兩夫妻都是台大畢業的老闆、老闆娘，為什麼對孩子的教育是這樣子的溺愛縱容、不理性呢？
結果有一天，我們所有工讀生都知道了答案----很惡魔的答案！（因為當天我沒排班，沒看到現場狀況。後來聽到那個被A了無數頓麥當勞的工讀生的口述：）那天下午，兩兄弟在店裡亂跑亂叫地大鬧著，把許多客人都鬧跑了。然後，哥哥好像打了弟弟一下，弟弟於是便狂哭了起來......老闆再也受不了地跑出來制止， 對哥哥罵。還對哥哥說：「你怎麼可以打弟弟？弟弟哭成這樣，你快跟他道歉！」只見哥哥一臉冷漠地看著他的父親，絲毫不為所動。老闆的面子掛不下，就「輕輕地」推了哥哥一下，要他道歉。結果，那個六歲的小男生，竟然舉起手來用力打自己的嘴巴！完全不停手地一直 打著！可是他的臉上還是沒有表情。作父親的老闆當然心疼了，阻止哥哥做出這樣的舉動。哥哥只說：「爸爸要我道歉，我該死，我錯了！我該死！我該死！」還是不停打著自己的嘴巴，都紅腫起來了！老闆嚇到了，趕緊抱住哥哥說：「好好好，你別打了，爸爸錯了，爸爸跟你道歉好不 好？」哥哥接受爸爸的道歉方式是，冷冷地說了一句：「跪下！」老闆當然沒照著做，結果，六歲的大兒子又開始打自己的臉！老闆二話不說，就跪在兩個兒子，和所有客人、工讀生面前，跟兒子道歉：「爸爸錯了，爸爸跟你道歉好不好？」小惡魔的哥哥，冷漠的臉上終於有了笑容，他轉頭 對弟弟說：「你看，我就說爸爸會跪下跟我道歉吧！」
雖然我們在工讀時，都對老闆給我麼不合理的壓榨很氣憤，但是看到這樣的情景，我們的心中卻只浮現兩個字：「報應！」順便值得一提的是，兩兄弟每個月的教育費、保母費，要三萬多、四萬元，不但請小提琴家教、專門看顧的保母，還送去特別自由開放的托兒所，大概老闆是希望自己的小孩從小就是萬能無敵的天才吧！只是，他忽略了對一個小孩最重要的東西：「心的純真和善良！」對世界知識的開發和探索，這是人類與生俱來的天賦，我們都希望不只是我們自己，更希望我們的下一代能更上層樓。可是，知識，只是一種記憶、一種推理、一種瞭解和儲存而已。失去了心，失去了對世界、對自然、對人的關心和體貼的情感，知識不過是冰冷的電腦記憶卡而已。一個對自己父母都能如此耍心機、耍手段來達到目的的小孩，一個是六歲、一個是三歲，我根本不去相信這樣的孩子以後能帶給人類多大的幸福和希望！
在日本著名漫畫家「池上遼一」早期的作品「暴民」裡頭，敘述的「暴民」，並不是我們想像的流氓、黑道和社會運動中無理性破壞的群眾，他畫筆下的「暴民」，竟 然是兩個十七歲俊美異常，人見人愛的少年！這兩個少年，合力計畫去謀殺其中一人的父母兄姐，全家四口全都被他們天衣無縫的謀殺掉了！甚至，他們還把父親的屍體丟到河裡，把母親和姊姊姦殺之後，剁下頭遺棄。而這一切殘忍的作法，都只是為了刺激黑道的哥哥盲目地到處尋仇， 為家人報仇。 那個「暴民」的少年，當成欣賞藝術品那樣，欣賞著自己哥哥瘋狂殺人、被警方追殺的心路歷程。然後，為家人、為哥哥流下無辜的眼淚......。沒有人懷疑到這樣一個俊美乾淨、文質彬彬的少年身上。大家都認為他是受害者。後來經過一個警方反向推理之後，才知道幕後指使者，竟然就是眾人疼愛的弟弟！問起弟弟犯下殺父母、殺兄姐的動機，弟弟竟只是粲然地一笑：「因為活的太無聊， 要找刺激和樂子呀！而且我們才十七歲，青春這麼短暫，得好好玩耍才行啊！」這就是，新一代的「暴民」！ 我想，對許多父母來說，他們一定說：「這種事絕對不會發生在我們家小孩身上，那是因為他們父母和教育沒給他們良好的環境。我家孩子從小就是資優生，都是念高等學校，絕對不會變成那樣！」我真的也很衷心地期望如此。只是，現在令我們無法瞭解行為模式、思想出路，和暴走殘忍的孩子，不就是我們身邊鄰家的孩子？不就是父母們拚死拚活望子成龍成鳳的孩子？我想，是我們自己的心不見了，所以連對世界的一點小小的熱情、尊重及付出都沒有了。也當然，孩子不會感受到，他們能知道、接收的只有：「我是獨一無二的、 所有大人都會因為我的年紀而給我無限制的自由。面對苛責體罰，我有權抗議和抵制。 因為我是獨一無二、最珍貴無比的人！」這麼危險的唯心自由論，如何能不出「暴民」呢？

Ah Ma house is gone....:~( bye bye

After so many years or negotiating, changing developer etc....Fianlly ah ma house was sold with 65k only and it's officially gone last month. I didn't see it by myself that the house is tear down. It happened when i was in US.
When i came home last week, there is so much change even though i just away for 3 weeks. So, ah ma house is gone and there is a new "old town" coffee house near 2G there under renovating.
Opposite the old town, the new 4-5 storeys govenment clinic is done, waiting for grand opening i guess.... I think ah ma is a bit sad about that house, she has been living there for half of century, maybe more. that house is the place that i grown up, a lot of sad and laughter happened.

Antelope Canyon - Arizona

羚羊谷 - This is how Antelope Canyon name fr0m. There were herds of antelope living here century before. According to the tourist guide - Andy, this canyon is also called Bear Canyon as from the pictures, you can see so many bear's image from the Canyon itself :)
The tours is lead by Navajo/Native American guides which cost us USD29 per person for less than a hour trip. Last time tourists were allow to visit the Canyon by themselves and only cost USD6. After the big flood that took away 12 lifes, Navajo is the only one that have the licience to bring tourist into Antelope canyon.
It's 6 degree cooler in the Canyon compare to the weather outside, so it's about 5-6 degree in the canyon and we were wearing thick jacket and glove, still we are shiverring while walking in the canyon.
We were glad we visited the Canyon during winter time, which is a non-peak season. During peak season, there were > 300 peoples visitiing the Canyon at the same time...we won't be able to take nice pictures if we visit the canyon during summer.
It's abit hard to find the tour guide office and the receiptionist is not friendly at all. Anyway, i am not going for 2nd timesince it took us more than 6 hours to reach there (from Phoenix) and USD29 per pax for less than 1 hour visit. , the canyon is so stunning and beautiful :)

However, for those that had business trip to Chandler, it's good to have at least one x visit to Antelope.... A not to miss place when travel to Arizona.

on our way to the entrance of the Antelope Canyon


Check out the stunning view inside the Antelope Canyon......

On the other side of the canyon.

Hubby and I..... thank god we were there...no regret!!

Cooking at US Kitchen :-)

It's a good experience to shop and cook at US. The apartment that Ping Hun stayed had all the equipment ever ready, include friedge, microwave oven, rice cooker, chopsticks, cutterly, wok, etc...All i need to buy is the raw materials. I specially like to cook soup since it was winter there and the weather is so cold.
We went shopping at Lee Lee Oriental Hypermart which sold all Asian's cookign material, like Milo :), Maggie Mee, Oyster Oil, Tofu etc.. All type of Asian raw food...Indian food, Japanese, Korean, Curry, tom Yam etc...Of course the price is much more expensive than M'sia.
Check out the "white carrot" soup that that i already cooked for 2-3 hours. Ping Hun and Dennis like it but it still too taste too sweet for me....why ar?

HKIA's food

I've "stayed" at Hong Kong International Airport more than 12 hours for the last 1 month due to plane transit and had total of 3 meals in the airport itself.
I've tried the 烧鹅濑粉which cost me about 100 HKD, as below...which not really nice, but since we watched hong kong series and it keep on mentioning the 烧鹅 is the best food in HK, so i decided to give it a try. it taste excatly like Roasted duck, but the one that they served is very oily so i not really enjoying it.
I think maybe i should go to the real Hong Kong restaurant and try out the 烧鹅 and 细蓉。。。haha

this is the restaurant that sell 烧鹅..it is the most expensive restaurant in the food court.


And this is 烧鹅濑粉 lo.... :-)

First Date - Tanya and Bryan :)

on this beautiful Sunday morning ( Nov 1st 2009), Tanya finally met her "old friend" - Byran for the first time. Although she has been hearing a lot about Bryan since she is still in mummy's stomach :) Both of them seems "pai sei pai sei" and didn't interact much...let's wait for their next meet up :)

Tanya is so smart NOW!!!! LOL

After came back from US, the first time i saw Tanya is back to our home, right after i came back from airport. Physically, she didn't change much ( when i leave her, she is at 6.02kg nad now she is just 6.06kg, sigh...), still cute little fellow, but when she saw us and start to smile at us, i figure out how much she had grown smarter. She is cutest now since she was born :)
After 3 days of staying together and i spent almost all my time together with her, watching Barney, talked to her, played with her, sang, dance, crawled together, lied down on floor, clap clap hand.....etc.. I actually found that she is so much smarter compare to 3 weeks ago.
She knew how to wave good-bye, clap, stamp her leg, crawl, like really fast! shout and trying to say something......and she was so attached to me n p. hun. It's the natural feeling that we are Family, and we are her parents :)
We brought her out to shopping @ QBM during Saturday, and she is a small little scientist and such a good observer. She's busy looking at everyone, everything and when she found something that attracted her, she will point at that object with her little finger...haha...co cute!!
The one she likes the most is the escalator, her dad even need to bring her goes up and down the escalator for few time just to satisfy her curiosity..Rows and rows of various color T- shirt had definately attract her attention, and she even sat on the clothes and explore with her little hands.
Also, she wanted to try on anything that we are eating or she will eat everything that u gave to her...hahaha, can't wait to see her later...got to go now!!muacks to my little princess!!

Bye-bye Body Butter :(

Checked in at LAX yesterday and the officer took my Brand new (only use 2-3X) body butter away cause it it more than 10ml....aw......IT IS MY MISTAKE. I forgot to checked in this body butter with my luggage but put it in the handcarry bag..... :(
bye bye butter, bye bye USD15 :(

luckily the body mist that i bought for my mum didnt exceed 10ml....lo.....

10 hours's transition

Travel is fun, no doubt. But the long transit and flight hours really kill me.
I'm now in Hong Kong International Airport, waiting for my 10 hours transit...awwwwww :(
i reached HKIA at 5am, and my connecting flight back home is at 3pm. what can I do at this long 10 hours?

Shopping? Everything is so so so damm expensive...furthermore, i just finished my Black Friday Crazy shopping at LV last 2 weeks.

Wandering around? hmm....HKIA not as nice as Singapore IA. :P talk about airport, i haven't been to KLIA so far...it's my country's airport leh...how come?

Food and Drinks? ya, for sure we need to take something for meals... and WOW...guess what? It's as expensive as US, even more expensive. 1 set of burget king cost about HKD5o..

Online? oh yes, luckily i bring along my laptop, and the wireless is FREE!!!! haha, this is the only things i can do without spending money $$.. so, i am blogging now, facebooking, and playing online games.

I'm sick - terrible cough :(

After came back from Las Vegas, i'm totally sick. My worst nightmare came to me again - cough. everytime i have cough, it will take long time for me to recover, this time included. I've taken 1 bottle of Cough syrup which i bought at CVS pharmacy but not seeing any sign of recovery, then we went to the pharmarcy to buy stronger medicine - the tablet form which cost us ~ RM30.... The medicine in US is sooooo expensive :(
If back in Penang, i will definately go and see a doctor to ask for antibiotic for faster recovery. but seeing a doctor here will at least cost me USD20-30, this has not include the medicine!! that is >RM100 already :(
I can't really sleep well at night, this make the situation worse. The best way to heal cold/ cough is to get enough rest and drink a lot of water, but i don't really got enough rest at all, especially at night. Hopefully i can recover before i go back home. i don't want to be quarantine or everybody in the plane scare of me of coughing non-stop for >24 hours flight.
I was exhausted last weekend when we went to Vegas. We had 12 hours black Friday/ post Thanksgiving shopping at the premier outlet start from 2am until 2pm the next day before we checked in to Excalibur Hotel. No doubt, it was a very good journey to Vegas but it also cause both of us sick with old and cough.....
