Fish vs Pond 羽毛?

一个周六去IMM, 顺道去爸爸公司拿东西。还是第一次去爸爸公司。PK一下。

办公室:爸爸有自己的办公室,贴着自己的名字和职位;妈妈坐在开放式的办公室里,站起来可以望得到整层楼的同事。

公司:爸爸的本地上市公司,第三梯板,股票S$0.35,潜力股,员工400;妈妈的国际投资银行,股票$26.6, 银行股,现在风险也挺大,全球员工5万,亚太7千多。

团队:爸爸有10多个职员;妈妈有6个。

职位:爸爸直接向CEO报告;妈妈在公司组织图上离CEO至少还有5,6层。

待遇:呵呵,保密。

是做小池子里的大鱼呢,还是大池子里的小鱼?是做凤凰尾巴上绚丽的羽毛呢,还是公鸡头顶上火红的冠带?

Went to daddy's office the other day on the way to IMM, the first time we were there.

He has his own office, bigger than that of our managing director. A local listed company vs an international investment bank. A Financial Controller in a local listed company vs a Vice President (urr, it's a big title, just a senior manager) in an investment bank. A big fish in a small pond vs a small fish in a big pond.

We are happy fish together, in our little family pond. :)

Wedding & Gathering 婚礼和运动

我们ACCA会计注册学校时的美女结婚了。已经很久没有去过婚礼了,圣洁美丽的仪式依然让人感动,那是两个人的誓约,执子之手,与子偕老的誓约。

下午邀约朋友们来家里玩,一起打羽毛球,乒乓球。半个小时就腿软了,真的是缺乏运动呀!等到。。。 突然想起昨天在凤凰卫视看到一个私人视障儿童孤儿院的消息,当时觉得这才是让我心灵有归依的工作,当时也是对自己说,等到。。。 等到什么时候呢?瀚今瀚月上完大学?20年以后???

Kelly & Kevin's wedding. Friends' gathering at my place, for a sports day :). Badminton and table tennis.

Princess returns 公主回归

The cough has been there for more than 10 days. I brought her to Dr Gong. After 10 mins, we are out with a nebulizer, a bag of medicine, a $300 poorer pocket and a much reassured mind. Dr Gong has the calming voice and the confident manner which is very reassuring for parents. Paediatrics, a choice profession, for Han Jin?

While, after the medication and 'smoking elephant', she's better and forget all about being a boy and wearing Han Jin's cloths. Her princess is back, with pink accessories, hello kitty dress, tutu skirt and an affection of anything pink.

妹妹的咳嗽反反复复10多天,家庭医生的药不见多大效用。去看了专科医生,渐渐好了起来。好起来的妹妹也忘了假小子情结,重新回归公主裙,粉红色,hello Kitty,首饰。。。

Swimming class 游泳课

瀚今学游泳学了3,4个月了,成绩就是可以把头放到水里了,可以扶着游泳板游一点,这对怕水的瀚今是很大的进步呀。虽然皓俊一年前就可以自己游一个来回了,套用金曲奖得奖者的话:我自己就是我的竞争对手。呵呵。。

Han Jin started swimming about 3 or 4 months ago. Till date, he can blow nose bubbles under the water and swim with a board. A remarkable improvement for someone who has water-phobia. Keep it up!

Soccer Field 足球场

The family went to the Pandan Reservoir on Sun morning only to find out there is the tree around the reservoir and it was too hot to brave through. We then went to the soccer field at NUS. Luckily, at this stage, the kids are excited wherever they go, and they can make any place a new adventure.

I wonder when will be the day that they will refuse to go the places that they don't want to go. Han Jin mumbles boring at times when he wants to play games. I hope they will not find family outings boring any time soon. Hubby always says how nice it would be if the kids stay young, and we don't get old.. :) not possible. Looking at the cute buddies now, I can't imagine them being rebellious at teenagers, coming home drunk at late night, shutting the door behind them, and demanding me to leave them alone..... I hope not. I hope to be their friends forever. any if they allows, their best friends forever.

Very nice open green at the NUS soccer field. I sat under the tree taking shots for the boys.

Han Jin enjoys outdoor, being sweaty and Daddy loves play with the boy.

Mei Mei is still now well yet, and shuns from the lens and the only person who can make her laugh is Han Jin. Han Jin carries her, Han Jin hugs her, and Han Jin sayangs her on the way home.

拜天早上去户外走走,在足球场踢踢球,吹吹风。老公常常说,要是孩子们不长大,我们不变老有多好。我轻轻嗤之以鼻,宝贝们会长大,也许会有叛逆期,会和朋友们喝酒喝醉回来,关上房门让我不要理他她...... 只希望,我可以永远是他们的朋友,会倾听,不评论。

瀚今很喜欢踢球,和爸爸很亲近。妹妹还没大好,不要照相,只有瀚今可以逗她笑,可以抱抱她,可以哄着她。

Sick 'boy' 生病的‘小男孩’

Mei has been sick for about a week till now. Not really serious but has running nose and coughs; her voice is hoarse; her hair is always wet; her limbs are always cold.

Moreover, the sweet little princess is gone. Here comes an awkward little 'boy'. Looking at you with a pair of skeptical eyes, she asks to address in Han Jin's cloth and declares that she is a boy.

She refused to see doctor, and I have to lie that we are going to the doctor to see my rashes. Even in the consultation room, she denied that she was the patient. I was very cooperative and reassuring her it's not her. Then I was educated by the doctor that I should not lie to her, so that not to lose control and trust. True, very true. These days, I'm at the short end as a parent, and I need to tight the control and be more strict.... after a few days, she turns to the helper for consolation, and I lost my privilege of being the only person who can shower her........ tough for me, but I have to be a litter tougher towards her. maybe?

妹妹感冒了一个星期,不严重但是拖拉着不见好。除了脾气见涨,头发总是湿湿的,表情总是疑惑的,突然热衷于穿瀚今的衣服,公主裙情结突然消失,假小子样子出门了。

看医生是哄着去的,我被医生又教育了一下不可以太宠孩子。。。

Air Show 2012 航空展

Air Show 2012 on 19 Feb, slogan: Aisa's Biggest for Aviation's Finest.

Han Jin: Happy to watch the show and braved through the deafening noise, but not interested in the specifications or scientific display of the aviation technology.

Han Yue: completely put off by the noise and heat. What she enjoyed: painted a pink love box in an air-conditioned function room during the entire show at $12.

Daddy and Jia Cheng: probably enjoyed for guys. But we might have left too early (1pm?) otherwise Jia Cheng probably can have a better look of the aeroplane on display.

Me: more than half of the show were spent with Mei in the function room, quiet and cooling, but missed the show. Caught a few minutes at the beginning which is really impressive with the aircraft turns, dips, roars and spins.... amazing. Wouldn't the pilot be giddy after all these?

Next show: Feb 2014. Kids might be able to appreciate more by then.

两年一度的航空展。近距离的轰隆声很震撼,直觉的像战时就要扔炸弹的感觉。

3个男生应该挺喜欢的。妹妹很不喜欢,太吵太热,她躲在旁边的儿童室画画。
