This is it. The very first day, he will be alone with his teacher and fellow friends. I was so excited. In fact, we were excited. We took him to his kindergarten last Sat to pay his enrollment fee. He was excited. The very next day, Sunday again, we walk him to his kindy. He was energetics! He jumped out of his bed the minute he woke up and said, “Today, we cycle to school.”
Indeed we did, the kindergarten is just two erm… section apart. We walk him through the garden. Time our watch to check the distance and time. We finally arrived 45minutes later. Whole body sweat and exhausted. HAHA! Had to blame the hot morning sun and the steep walk.
05-01-2009 Mark his first day in school. Lun didn’t cry a bit. He is a brave big boy. Mummy and daddy are proud of you!

Children is like a clock. When the time comes they react accordingly. So, what stage are yours in?
Lun is currently the chatter box. He would constantly asking you why, what, how.
Like a broken radio who repeatedly singing the same song over and over again.
He would go.
Lun: 妈咪,你今天做什么? (Mum, what did you do today?)
Me: 早上,上班.对着电脑做工. (working in front of the computer.)
He will pause for a while, then come back again asking the same question.
Lun: 妈咪,你今天早上做什么? (Mum, what did you do today?)
Me: 做工咯.(Working.)
Again, asking the same question after a short pause.
Lun: 妈咪,你今天做什么? (Mum, what did you do today?)
Me: 早上,做工; 晚上回来陪你玩， (Work in the morning, came back at night to play with you.)
你呢？你今天做了什么?(How about you? What did you do today?)
Lun:我做fireman.搭屋子．hmm…(I was a fireman, i’ve build a house.)
Me:傍晚呢？有到公园去吗？(How about evening? Did you go to the park?)
Lun:有，啊公带我去公园做工．我是Construction worker. ( yes, grandpa bring me there, I work as a construction worker.)
Lun: 妈咪,你今天做什么? (Mum, what did you do today?)
…
…
…
until he got fed up himself. Then pass on to the next question.
What is that? pointing to the ceiling or other stuff etc….

Dear mama and papa,
If you read Chinese. Do read and consider this forwarded story by a milk collector. I have no proof if this ‘thing’ is true or not. But I am sure, in every story told, there must have a hidden truth. Just like the story that I heard from a ‘bak gua/肉干‘- the salt/sweeten meat that we eat during the Chinese New Year festival or the ‘蜡肠‘ - that we love to cook in fried rice. The manufacturer don’t eat them at all. Why? I was told, (personally told by a manufacturer herself.) they use sick cow to produce the meat. Can’t believe me? Well, in this case, MILK the flavored milk drink that we loved-banana yogurt milk drink, mix fruit yogurt milk drinks, they are normally produce from the spoil milk. The 2nd bad milk… those can’t even make into yogurt drinks will turn into ice-cream. This stinky milk that was suppose to be thrown away!
Astonishing? Read on for Continue… »
