和你一起慢慢變老

背靠著背坐在地毯上
聽聽音樂　聊聊願望
你希望我越來越溫柔
我希望你放我在心上

我說想送你個浪漫的夢想
謝謝你帶我找到天堂
哪怕用一輩子才能完成
只要你講我就記住不忘

我能想到最浪漫的事
就是和你一起慢慢變老
一路上收藏點點滴滴的歡笑
留到以後坐著搖椅慢慢聊

我能想到最浪漫的事
就是和你一起慢慢變老
直到我們老得哪兒也去不了
我還依然把你當成手心裡的寶

感恩的故事 (Story of Appreciation)

一篇让我读了蛮感动的文章，在此与大家分享。也希望与我的新生代朋友分享这一篇文章。

A great article which I would like to share with my friends, especially those already have child.

一名成績優秀的青年去申請一個大公司的經理職位。
他通過了第一級的面試，董事長做最後的面試，做最後的決定。

董事長從該青年的履歷上發現，該青年成績一 貫優秀，從中學到研究生從來沒有間斷過。

董事長問，你在學校裏拿到獎學金嗎？該青年回答，沒有。

董事長問，是你的父親 為您付學費嗎？該青年回答，我父親在我一歲時就去世了，是我的母親給我付的學費。

董事長問，那你的母親是在那家公司高就？該 青年回答，我的母親是給人洗衣服的。 董事長要求該青年把手伸給他，該青年把一雙潔白的手伸給董事長。

董事長問，你幫你母 親洗過衣服嗎？該青年回答，從來沒有，我媽總是要我多讀書，再說，母親洗衣服比我快得多。

董事長說，我有個要求，你今天回家，給你母 親洗一次雙手，明天上午你再來見我。

該青年覺得自己成功的可能很大，回到家後，高高興興地要給母親洗手，母親受寵若驚地把手伸給孩子。

該青年給母親洗著手，漸漸地，眼淚掉下來了，因為他第一次發現，他母親的雙手都是老繭，有個傷口在碰到水時還疼得發抖。

青年第一次體會到，母親就是 每天用這雙有傷口的手洗衣服為他付學費，母親的這雙手就是他今天畢業的代價。

該青年給母親洗完手後，一聲不響地把母親剩下要洗的衣服都洗了。

當天晚上，母親和孩子聊了很久很久。

第二天早上，該青年去見董事長。

董事長望著該青年紅腫的眼睛，問到，可以告訴我你昨天回家做了些什麼嗎？

該青年回答說，我給母親洗完手之後， 我幫母親把剩下的衣服都洗了。

董事長說，請你告訴我你的感受。

該青年說，第一，我懂得了感恩，沒有我 母親，我不可能有今天。第二，我懂得了要去 和母親一起勞動，才會知道母親的辛苦。第三，我懂得了家庭親情的可貴。

董事長說，我就是要錄取一個會 感恩，會體會別人辛苦，不是把金錢當作人生第一目標的人來當經理。你被錄取了。

這位青年後來果真工作努力，深得職工擁護，員工也都努力工作，整個公司業績大幅成長。

假如一位孩子從小嬌生慣養，習 慣了被人圍著寵著，什麼都是“我”第一，父母的辛苦都不知道，上班後，以為同事都應該聽他的，當了經理後，不知道員工的辛苦，還要怨天尤人。這樣的人，會有好的學校成績，會有得意風光的一時，但社會上的這類人，都不能成大事，都不會感覺到幸福，都要跌跟鬥，那父母是愛孩子呢還是害孩子呢？

你可以讓你的孩子住大房子，吃大餐，學鋼琴，看大屏電視，但你在割草時，也要讓你的孩子在大太陽下拔拔野草，你在吃飯後，也要讓你的孩子洗洗碗，不是你沒有錢雇人，而是你真心愛孩子。你要讓孩子知道，即使父母掙不少錢，但早早的白髮，和那位洗衣服的母親沒有本質的差別。但更重要的是，要讓你的孩子學會感恩。

One young academically excellent person went to apply for a managerial position in a big company.

He passed the first interview, the director did the last interview, made the last decision.
The director discovered from the CV, that the youth's academic result is excellent all the way, from the secondary school until the postgraduate research, never has a year he did not score.

The director asked, "Did you obtain any scholarship in school?" and the youth answered "none".

The director asked, " Is it your father pay for your school fees?" the youth answered, my father passed away when I was one year old, it is my mother who paid for my school fees.

The director asked, " Where did your mother worked?" the youth answered, my mother worked as cloth cleaner. The director requested the youth to show his hand, the youth showed a pair of hand that is smooth and perfect to the director.

The director asked, " Did you ever help your mother washed the cloth before?" The youth answered, never, my mother always wanted me to study and read more books, furthermore, my mother can wash cloths faster than me.

The director said, I had a request, when you go back today, go and help to clean your mother's hand, and then see me tomorrow morning.

The youth felt that its chance of landing the job is high, when he went back, he happily wanted to clean his mother's hand, his mother feel strange, happy but mixed with fear, she showed her hand to the kid.

The youth cleaned his mother's hand slowly, his tear drop down as he did that. It is first time he found his mother's hand is so wrinkled, and there are so many bruises in her hand. Some bruises incites pains so strong that shiver her mother's body when cleaned with water.

This is the first time the youth realized and experienced that it is this pair of hand that washed the cloth everyday to earn him the school fees, the bruises in the mother's hand is the price that the mother paid for his graduation and academic excellence and probably his future.

After finishing the cleaning of his mother hand, the youth quietly cleaned all remaining clothes for his mother.

That night, mother and sons talked for a very long time.

Next morning, the youth went to the director's office
The director noticed the tear in the youth's eye, asked: " Can you tell you what have you done and learned yesterday in your house?"

The youth answered, " I cleaned my mother's hand, and also finished cleaning all the remaining clothes'

The director asked, " please tell me your feeling."

The youth said, Number 1, I knew what is appreciation, without my mother, there would not the successful me today. Number 2, I knew how to work together with my mother, then only

I can realize how difficult and tough to get something done. Number 3, I knew the importance and value of family relationship.

The director said, " This is what I am asking, I want to recruit a person that can appreciate the help of other, a person that knew the suffering of others to get thing done, and a person that would not put money as his only goal in life to be my manager. You are hired.

Later on, this young person worked very hard, and received the respect of his subordinates, every employees worked diligently and in a team, the company's result improved tremendously.

A child who has been protected and habitually given whatever he did, he developed "entitlement mentality" and always put himself first. He is ignorance of his parent's effort. When he started work, he assumed every people must listen to him, and when he became a manager, he would never know how suffering his employee and always blame others. For this kind of people, he can have good result, may be successful for a while, but eventually would not feel sense of achievement, he will grumble and full of hatred and fight for more. If we are this kind of protective parent, did we love the kid or destroy the kid?

You can let your kid lived in a big house, eat a good meal, learn piano, watch a big screen TV. But when you are cutting grass, please let them experienced it. After a meal, let them washed their plate and bowl together with their brothers and sisters. It is not because you do not have money to hire a maid, but it is because you want to love them in a right way. You want them to understand, no matter how rich their parent are, one day their hair will grow gray, same as the mother of that young person. The most important thing is your kid learn how to appreciate the effort and experience the difficulty and learn the ability to work with others to get thing done.

CJ's annual concert 2010

CJ's annual concert successfully kicked off on yesterday. I believe all parents enjoyed with their kids performance, including myself. This year was the 4th year that CJ participated in his school annual function. He was really enjoyed on the stage as compared to the 1st year (where he sent to the stage after he joined the school holiday program for just 2 weeks, so imagine..). I could see he grown up a lot! This year he chosen by teacher to be the narriator of a drama show -"Alice in the fruit farm", I started trained him to memorize the storyline (script) since early this year (March). Finally, he managed to perform well on the stage (consider OK to me, although he was a bit "lost" towards the end of the movie, as he can't recall the script while his friends busy performed the show.. however he could recall back it after a while, huh..). Besides, he also performed dance ("Happy Hour" ~ 欢乐今宵) on the stage. This year he won 1st runner up academy award again, so keep it up.

All of us have fun and enjoyed the show. YE will join the annual concert started next year, and I believe she can perform well on the stage, as from my observation, she is a good dancer.

Back to my aquarium again

It has been 2 years I never pay attention to my aquarium + fishes. I started with Discus fish 3 years ago (if you follow my blog, you should know), however I have no time to take care of them since I have to put extra care to my 3 monsters. So most of the fishes died without a proper care (my fault). And my aquarium become very "quiet" as only left 1-2 fishes.

Last 2 weeks, I decided to make my aquarium "alive" again, by having a simple and easy care fishes - gold fish. The fish is more easy to take care compare to Discus fish, which need extra attention and care on them. Since I am no longer so free or flexible now, so I decided to keep more simple and easy going fishes. Gold fish - what I need to do is just to feed them and change the water (just a pail of water will do) for every 2 weeks. Here are the new look of the aquarium... nice?

不同的老婆, 不同的结局

不同的老婆, 不同的结局 (男人版本）

A. 他工作回家。帮忙收拾屋子，烧菜。
­她看了他一眼,..心想：“应该的！”然后理所当然的转身走了。­

B: 他工作回家。帮忙收拾屋子，烧菜。。 ­
她拽住他：“我来！” ­
他：“你也累了，你休息吧!” ­
她：“你太好了！我们一起做吧！”

A: 她：“我晚上出去洗脸了啊。” ­
他：“几点回家？” ­
她：“洗完脸很快就回去了。” ­
九点半，他：“你怎么还不回来啊？” ­
她：“很快就回家了。”
­十一点。十二点。一点…… ­­

B: 她：“我晚上出去洗脸。九点之前肯定结束。然后我俩去看电影。”
­他：“你能那么快就结束吗？” ­
她：“放心吧。我答应你了就一定能！” ­
快到九点的时候。
她：“我扮美美和你去看电影咯” ­

­A: 她晚上下班。给他打电话“宝贝儿。我晚上和朋友出去shopping。” ­
他：“你不是答应和我吃饭吗？”
­她：“改天吧！” ­他只好吃快熟面。为什么每次都是这样？

­­­B: 她下班的时候打电话给他:“亲爱的。别人给我一张shopping voucher RM100, 我们待会儿去shopping，好吗？” ­
他：“哦。这样啊。好吧。”
­她：“怎么不高兴了？”
­他： “你忘了。上周说好今天我妈生日，你陪我俩吃饭啊。” ­
她：“哎呀。对不起亲爱的。我忘记了。那我把voucher给别人吧。我陪你和妈去吃饭。”
­他： “不要了。吃饭可以改天。或者你先去shopping。我们等你。” ­
她：“那不行。答应你的事情必须得做到。再说如果我不去，你自己和妈吃饭，她会不高兴的。你也肯定不舒服啊” ­
他：“Don’t worry! You go ahead for your shopping”­­
没等他说完。她很强势的告诉他“我也是妈的半个女儿啊。” ­

女性也真的应该多从男人的角度看问题，改编的文章是特别写给女性朋友看的。 ­

不同的老公,不同的结局

不同的老公,不同的结局 (女性朋友分享的文章）

A.她生理期。身体不舒服。顶着疼痛洗衣服。收拾屋子。
他坐在电脑前面玩网络游戏。
她干完活。躺在床上。长出了一口气。
他看了她一眼：“宝贝儿。辛苦了！”然后转过头。继续玩他的游戏。


B: 她生理期。很难受。起身准备洗衣服。
他拽住她：“你去床上躺着。我来！”
她：“你会做家务吗？你自己洗过衣服吗？”
他：“不会做可以学着做啊。以后你身体不舒服的时候。我当然得独挡一面！”

女人需要的不只是甜言蜜语。哄她几句。她也许会给你一个微笑。但是实实在在的呵护。
她会对你一辈子的感恩。并且会回报给你一个温暖的家。

A: 他：“我晚上出去吃饭了啊。”
她：“几点回家？”
他：“吃完很快就回去了。”
九点半，她：“你怎么还不回来啊？”
他：“很快就回家了。”
十一点。十二点。一点……

后来。她不再打电话催他。因为她知道。对于不守承诺的男人。一切“肯定”都是“未必”。

B:他：“我晚上出去吃饭。九点之前肯定结束。然后我俩去看电影。”
她：“你能那么快就结束吗？”
他：“放心吧。我答应你了就一定能！”
快到九点的时候。他：“收拾一下吧。我马上就到你家了”

信任。是在一件一件小事中建立起来的。

A: 他晚上下班。给她打电话“宝贝儿。我晚上和朋友出去吃饭。”
她：“你不是答应我陪我逛街的吗？"
他：“改天吧！
她默默地流泪。为什么每次都是这样？


B:他下班的时候打电话给她:“亲爱的。别人给我一张奥运会的票。巴西队啊！一会儿我去看球了啊。”
她：“哦。这样啊。好吧。"
他：“怎么不高兴了？"
她： “你忘了。上周说好今天我朋友和她男朋友请我俩吃饭啊。”
他：“哎呀。对不起亲爱的。我忘记了。那我把票给别人吧。我陪你去吃饭。”
她： “不要了。吃饭可以改天。或者你先去看。我们等你。” ¬
他：“那不行。答应你的事情必须得做到。再说你自己跟他俩在一起像电灯泡似的。你肯定不舒服啊”
她：“没事……”
没等她说完。他很强势的告诉她 “好了。听我的。你收拾一下。我一会儿去接你。”

其实女人不是不懂事。只是。她需要碰上一个懂事的男人。其实。情侣之间。是可以互相的。

男人真的应该多从女性的角度看问题，这个文章, 女性会经常看的。

Do not let them know too much

This is a great poem shared by our Business English teacher.

When work with clients,
Do not let them know too much,
For once a client become a foe,
All the secrets the world will know.
