Simplicity

It’s the time of the year again..when the instructors are allowed to have their weekends off! Come to think of it…we only have 4 chances in a year to enjoy the weekend’s fresh air. Sad, but true. What better way to spend the weekend with people who matter the most…my family,bff and Mr Poto!

Friday -went out with Mr Poto and bff to Seletar to change my evening gown. Then spent our supper bitching about our little ‘xiao rens’ at work.

Saturday - Excursion at the Singapore Zoological Garden with Mr Poto! I’m really glad that we manage to fulfil his ever lasting wish…maybe he should be working at the zoo after all. We had loads of fun, and I realised that I’m pretty good at capturing classic shots! Hee. Maybe I should really consider taking up a photography course. It was really amazing to see these animals during the various shows. However, a part of me feels sad for these animals. Just imagine a snake was slithering in the woods and oooopppss….it got caught and for the rest of it’s life, it will just lie there for people to take pictures. Oh well, it all depends on the angle we view the situation from.

Here is a nice shot that I captured on the Saturday evening.

Dinner was at Big Eater at Bedok. I’m really thankful for Mr Poto for bringing me there. Though it’s not seafood by the sea, you alone provided the beautiful scenary for me! The food was delicious…simply loved the Hokkien mee and crab! Ooohh, will definitely be visiting there again soon.

Sunday - One day trip with the family to Malacca! Daddy and Mr Poto took turns to drive. And I must say, I’m pretty impressed with Mr Poto’s driving skill and sense of direction. With good company and good food, it’s simply a perfect Sunday!

Can you imagine all these good food going into my stomach in just one day??? Counting down till the next term break!

<<如果>>

每个人自出生后，一直被一条叫做 [缘分] 的绳子牵绑着，

一步一步地认识了许多原本不认识的人，

等到年纪越大时，绳子也会越来越多。

有时别人或许会放弃拉住这条和自己相连的绳子。。。

我们也可能放弃拉住和别人相连的绳子。

不过。。。就算在最艰难的状况下。。。

还会永远拉住绳子而不放弃的人。。。

应该就是妈妈吧。。。

6 岁： 妈妈~！等我以后赚大钱，一定会带你去环游世界~！！！

15岁：给我买参考书的钱~！是真的~！哎哟~不用担心~！我一定会还给你的~！

18岁：妈~！等我退伍一定会好好养你的，再忍耐一下~！

40岁：帮我这一次就好，只要度过这个难关，以后就能够让您享福了。。。谢谢你，妈~！只要再等一下下就好。。。

等很久了吗？

托妈妈的福，我现在事业很成功，钱也赚很多了，

你看，这些是全部的钱。

你不要一直躺着啊。。。

。。。

对不起

我来晚了

这两篇文章取缔于金光浩的漫画。我看了这本漫画后，深受感动。亲情是我们生命里如此重要的一部分，可是，我们常常所忽略到的也是亲情。

你是否还记得在多久前，对你的父母说句：“我爱你”？

我仿佛已不记得了。不知为何，我就是无法在言语上表达我对父母的爱与关怀。或许这与我们的沟通方式，跟他们如何把我抚养长大有关系吧。 我们不常把‘爱’挂在嘴边。曾几何时，我还以为他们根本不在乎我这个女儿。可是，我们是关心着彼此的。我只是以行动来表达我的孝心。

我知道我的父母不是天底下最好的父母，可是他们对我而言是完美的。

我知道我不是天底下最孝顺的女儿，可是我希望对他们而言，我是带给他们快乐的。

爸爸，妈妈，我爱你。

Woke up this morning with zero expectations. Even thought that I will just stay at home and play mahjong. My dearest mummy woke me up and told me her big plans for the day, and I was ready to spend my good Friday.

We had lunch together at Shang Palace (Shangri-la Hotel). The dim sum was fabulous and relatively inexpensive. I love the papaya pastry! It’s soooo soft and crispy, that it practically just melts in your mouth. And lucky us, we got that dish for free! The bill came up to about $70 plus for the 3 of us. I even met my ex-parent and child at the restaurant.
