老餅范

Last Saturday I brought my son for a hair cutting. Ah Ming is our barber whom I have known him for nearly twenty years. We talked about the raising of kids. He told me what his father-in-law said. His father asked Ming and his daughter to give birth of a child, simply because of one single reason: whey they grow older and stay in an elderly home, someone will visit them. They're not supposed to give birth, but after a word from his father-in-law, Ming decided to do so, and now his daughter is in P. 5.

We have three, far much more than we expected. Yet, we gain joyfulness more than sufferings, probably because both Yee Fun and I love children. Every night, when I see them sleep so sweet and calm, that's the source of our joyfulness, together with tiredness of course.

I rode bicycle with my second son last night, along Waterfront Park. He's fabulous in doing sports and particularly in cycling (though four wheels!), and I jogged at the same time. It's good exercise between us, and more importantly, we have precious moments to be together. After cycling and putting back the bike, he's so well behaved that he didn't locked me up. It proves to me that when he's treated well, he behaves well.

This year I participated in the 800m race in the school Athelete Meet. Going back to F. 2, I ran for this distance but failed to finish it. I still remembered the bad feelings at that moments. N years later, I ran for the same, but this time, together with support and applause by colleagues and students, I got it. I even didn't stop for a second and ran for the whole 800m journey!!!

That's what I wish to share, with me, with my kids, with those who is going to read my blog.
