Jay's concert photos

How about this?

For a new phone?



Nokia 6500c

I'm back...

Yes I'm back...so much things to blog and don't know where to start..haha

Anyway need to get busy with work, meet interior designers, visit the saloon for hairdo for CNY (probably soft rebonding and trimming) and choose my new phone!!

Oh....gonna be damn BROKE...

Please don't ask me to go for expensive lunch liao ok...though I am craving for california and mango sashimi hand-roll from sushi teh... :(

Lalala...

I am still in office doing reports but I am not complaining! Because I am off to Hong Kong tomorrow till 30/01/08!

Looking forward to it..BUT I have not planned my itinerary! Tonight must go read up on all the materials and start to make some plans.

Even now, the thought of returning to work on 31/01/08 puts me off. I can just imagine the numbers of files on my table - cases that will be transferred to me. Yewwwwwwwww..........................

Good gal!

I've stacked aside the clothes that I wanted to bring to Hong Kong yesterday. I just need to put it into my luggage on wednesday morning before setting off to the airport!

Just that I cannot decide whether I should bring my LV bag with me....

18/01/08 to 19/01/08: Another madness after Jay's concert

M'sCH complained that he was hungry and wanted to eat supper. And as we did not know where to go, we just walked and walked. In the end we decided to walk to Geylang since we could spot it from where we were! Then as we got nearer we realised that we were near the 牛肉和粉！So we went to eat 牛肉和粉 and 海鮮伊面。

After eating we decided to call it a day and started to walk out to the main road to take cab. I suddenly commented that it was strange that we did not mention about eating durian. Then THAT'S IT LOR!!

We went to eat durian and M'sCH decided to show some tricks with his poker cards, and we did not leave the place until close to 3am!! Retarded Marcus was enjoying seeing how baffled I was lor, because he had already seen the tricks before! DUH!

Jay Chou 周杰伦！正点！够屌！

His stage presence was good, the costumes were nice, the crowd was spontaneous and his live singing was better than expected!

We ended up standing most of the time. Luckily I was smart enough to bring some light sticks! We were jumping and waving madly while he was singing. M'sCH was also madly and busily taking photos! But sooooooooooo sad that he switched my camera to another mode and the pics that he took for the first 30 minutes were not so clear! 好可惜啊！！！

And my camera got to choose this auspicious time to get low batt too! I decided to go out to buy batteries since it was the guest appearance time by 南拳妈妈。

Alas the 7-11 store just outside the stadium was closed so I had to run all the way to the 7-11 at the next building. Nearly wanted to scream at the customer in front of me because he was so slow and 麻烦！！Luckily I didn't miss out much!

Then! My memory card was full!!! So had to frantically delete some unwanted photos. I forgot how to delete photos by the faster way so had to delete it one by one. Faint!

Then! M'sCH broke his light stick and the luminous thing smeared onto the chair and the floor AND the shirt of the guy sitting in front of him! Luckily nobody found out and we just hush hush....faint! Luckily it didn't smear onto my LV bag too or I would have murdered him!

It was 杰伦's birthday so the crowd sang him a birthday song! He was lamenting he had to work on his birthday haha! 29 years old! So young! And he is so talented can! Just during the concert, he played the grand piano, guitar, 二胡， 大提琴，琵琶，爵士鼓 and I think many many more that was not presented during the concert! AWWWWWWWWWW........

There was a part when Jay came down the stage to get close to the fans. Unfortunately he did not make it to our row! So sad!! Then the sexily clad dancers also came down! Wa they came flirting and I mean FLIRTING with the men lor! Haha and I could see that M'sCH and Marcus were getting uneasy as they were sitting at the corner and definately easy 'targets'!! 哈哈笑死我了！！

Side note: the dancers were damn UGLY and OLD lor! Like 人妖! No wonder there were never rumors about Jay and the dancers being romantically linked! Choi choi god forbid!!

Jay also talked alot during the concert which was a surprise because he is well known for his aloofness! And a sweet talker he is too! He was saying that Singapore fans are a splendid lot and that Singapore is alot better than Hong Kong as there are no 狗仔队！ He said that just thinking of that made it happier for him although he had to work on his birthday! 哈哈！

He came out twice for encore and the concert ended just slightly after 11pm. Just 1 pity..he didn't sing some of the songs like 晴天，我不配，简单爱，珊瑚海（because no female guest to sing with him!)。

Anyway the crowd still did not want to leave until the announcement came on officially to say that the concert had ended. AWWWW!

嗨 ended so soon, still 意犹未盡！A surprise awaited us at the entrance though, we got a free poster! Because we bought the premium tics!

Will post the pics later when I am not so lazy!!

18/01/08: The mad rush before Jay Chou's concert

Marcus' childish half (M'sCH) got to choose this auspicious time to go MIA. It was already like 515pm by the time I got him. Then Marcus went to fetch him at his place and waited for him to change; then they went to Marcus' house so that Marcus could change....In the end I had to wait for them at the sistic outlet outside the indoor stadium for like damn long. In the end by 730pm it was decided that I would go pack dinner because there would be no time to eat by the time they reached and get the tics. I had to walk all the way to the next building. I had wanted to buy kabab but the queue was so damn long so I just bought roasted chicken wings from cold storage and sandwiches from 7-11.

It was like 8pm before I finally met them. Called them when I was still walking back to the stadium to ask them to walk to the other 7-11 outlet just outside the indoor stadium to wait for me. Guess what?! I still had to wait for them there! Nearly screamed at them lor, walk from the tics collection counter to the 7-11 about 200m need such a looooonnnnnngggggg time?! Grrrr...Guys! No sense of urgency! Can still cheekily tell me 'we just collected the tics ma.' Thought they said they reached and collected the tics when I was queueing to pay for the food at cold storage?!

Anyways, we gobbled our dinner and Marcus suddenly and 'proudly' announced 'we have 2 seats in the front and 1 directly behind'! I was like, what a bloke! What was he thinking when he was booking the tics? Well he must have been too excited that he got through the line that he did not listen to what the sales person was telling him lah! Well after some 'arguement' he relented and M's CH and I took the front seats. Well that should be the case what because he is the tallest among us ma!

Then we had to queue to go into the stadium. Went in still had to wait for them to go to the washroom. Grrr..how come the guys more 麻烦then me leh?! ASK THEM!

We found the seats and guess what?! There were 4 chairs in a row and they cable tied all the chairs together! It was like so squeezy lor! We didn't care we removed all the cable ties (lift up the chair and slipped the cable ties out!) so that we could move the chairs apart for more space..haha....lalala we are smarter then the organisers!

830pm sharp! The concert begins!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

200 extra seats!!

Oh man! They added 200 extra seats for Jay Chou's concert on 18/01/08! WA!

Marcus came knocking frantically on the interview room door earlier when I was with my boy to ask if I wanted to go! Ha!

We also told Ghim Leng and she was like equally excited. Haha!

YEAH!!

The 6% pay rise remains me of...

....the certain stat board that sucks!!

Looked good on the surface but skeletons all hidden. Why can't they be transparent huh? Why why why?

This is why that certain stat board sucks...(2)

My reply email was on 31/12/07 and they replied me on 09/01/08 after 1 reminder and even though I cc the Head of department!

ME:
If xxx were to remove it at your cost, does it mean that the flat will be reverted to its orginal state?
Scenario 1:
For a PREMIUM flat which comes with floor tiles done:
If the previous owner had hacked away the floor and replace it with another kind of tile --> my understanding according to your reply, xxx can remove it, so does it mean that xxx will replace it with the original tiles after that?
Scenario 2:
If the previous owner had hacked away the wall, xxx will re-erect the wall at your cost?

XXX:
for items provided by xxx and are defective, we will replace them.
for items provided by ex-lessee and are defective, we will not replace them; xxx will remove them.

At the point of selection, buyers will be informed that the wall has been hacked away. we will not re-erect the wall.

(Did not really answer my question lor. I did not ask about items provided by previous owners that were defective. I asked about if we did not like the renovation and xxx said they would remove them; would they revert the flat to the original state especially for premium flat. For eg: original premium flat comes with tiles for living room and parke flooring for rooms; if the previous owner replaced with other tiles, would xxx replace the original tiles / parke after removing those done by the previous owner that new buyers did not like? And the answer is NO! It is not logical because I would be buying a premium flat at a premium flat price without my living rooms tiles done and parke flooring in the rooms!!! And I have to pay to have them done up somemore!! NOT logical NOT logical!!)

ME:
Adequate time? Please specify what do you mean by adequate time. 30 minutes? 1 hour? Within the same day? In a week's time? According to what was adviced by your staff manning the hotline and information on the web, we have to make a selection within the same selection day. And if we missed our queue number we have to wait till the end of the day before we can make our selection; does it sound logical to wait till the end of the day and risk having the unit we are considering being taken away?

And please advice on the condition for refunding the option fee. Would we have to go through tedious rounds of e-mail writing and visits to xxx; then again 'be subjected to case by case basis and approval'?

XXX:
if based on the flat's location and selling price, a buyer is interested in the flat, we will normally advise him to book it first. (ya right..$2000 option fee hor not $200!) even if there are changes to the flat's layout, they are usually minor. we will ensure that there are no defective items in the flat. if the condition is still unsatisfactory, we will allow the buyer (of course allow la..maybe can earn $2000 leh) to reject the flat and refund the booking. as the condition of different flats varies, we will have to consider such refunds on a case by case basis. (No comments, standard reply again 'refund to be considered on case by case basis'!!)

ME:
Shouldn't logistic and manpower constraints be under the purview of the organisation? How can the limitations of the organisation be transferred onto the clients and become the client's problem? For your kind information, many buyers have been going to these units to look and talk to the neighbours. So, we do not see how having open houses to allow interested buyers to view the units in a more organised manner managed by xxx could cause 'inconvenience to the exisiting residents'.

XXX:
Similar to new flats that are offered for sale, buyers are informed of the repurchased flats' location and layout.(And then? Did he mean we can go on our own? Would it not cause disturbance and inconvenience to existing residents then? Or did he mean it is good enough just by knowing the location and floor plan of the units? Buy fish and vegatable meh? And did he not understand that repurchased units are DIFFERENT from NEW flats??!!! Walao...my saliva want to dry up liao..)

we we will also ensure that there are no defective items in all our flats, regardless new or repurchased. However, as mentioned earlier we will consider opening some of the flats for viewing in future sales launches. (Opens eyes wide and see when this would happen)

ME:
In addition:
Query 1:
Is there a reason why xxx had released so many flats (at least 150 units!) which keys are still not available?
We understand that those are possibly units not chosen during the built to order scheme but to release so many units for the bi-monthly sales at one time had grossly further limited our choices (not to mention the limitation because of ethnic ratio). What is baffling is that we have noticed that there are many vacant units which keys are already available that are NOT put up for sale. Is there any reason for that? Why can't xxx release more of those and lesser of those units which keys are still not available? Can't the release of those units which keys are still not available be staggered?

Most of the people who opted for the bi-monthly sales to purchase a flat require a flat within a limited time frame, otherwise we would have chosen the built to order option. In this aspect, in what way has xxx has taken into consideration the clients' needs?

For this exercise, xxx released 316 flats. This is a number grossly overstated. The tangible units available in actual fact is a sorry number.

XXX:
All flats available for sale, regardless whether they are completed or not, will be offered at the next sales exercise for the estate. We do not hold back any flats if they are not reserved for other purposes. (Which means that they would not stagger the release of incompleted flats during bi-monthly sales!) As the demand for flats and its take-up rate has increased tremendously over the last 12 months, the number of completed flats in our stock have dwindled. (What??!! Didn't I just mention that we saw many vacant units? And residents/friends staying at Punggol and Sengkang had been telling us many units and blocks had been left vacant for many YEARS! Shucks regretted not taking down the specific addresses of those vacant flats we came across during our 'shopping' and those blocks that the residents/friends mentioned!!! So again on the surface it looked good; ya 316 AVAILABLE units man!!, but the skeleton were all hidden!)

ME:
Query 2:
We were very disturbed by a few 'loanshark' units. (Please look at the attached pictures.) There were memos pasted on the doors of some of these units, which shows that these units were just vacated in 2007; which means that the loanshark problem occured in 2007 and the loansharks are STILL coming to source out the previous owners.
For people who had gone to individual units to look would know that these are 'problem' units (some have xxx memos, some have NO memos but obvious have paint marks or marks that were cleaned up); but for people who did not? They would be using their hard earned money to buy these 'problem' flats!

Is there a reason why xxx is releasing such units so soon? We understand that these units need to be sold too, but shouldn't xxx wait for a longer period of time before releasing it for sale? At least for a couple of years after the matter has blown off?

XXX:
Under our current procedure, if we suspect the ex-lessee owes a loan shark, our branch office staff will paste a notice outside the flat to inform that the ex-owner has shifted out. We will then monitor the flat. If there are no evidence of vandalism over a few months, we will offer the flat for sale. (Monitor my foot!! Either he is blind and did not see my pictures and the date the pictures were taken or he simply did not bother to open the attachment to see the photos!!)

Part 1

This is why that certain stat board sucks...(1)

I wrote in to that certain stat board (known as XXX now) twice to make some enquiries on their procedures and other stuff. Here's some Q and A:

I wrote my first e-mail to them on 12/12/07. They replied on 19/12/07, after 2 reminder e-mails on 17/12/07 and 18/12/07.

ME:
We are writing with regard to purchasing flats via the bi-monthly sales.

We are baffled by the fact that buyers are not allowed to view the repurchsed unit/s they wish to purchase before payment of the option fee.

We are exploring the option of purchasing a 5-room unit in Punggol, and the recent bi-monthly launch has only repurchased flats for 5-room units.

We had called several hotlines with the hope of being educated of possible policies or reasons with regard to the above restriction but all that we were told was that the restriction is there because it is difficult to make logistical arrangements and cater manpower for viewing of the units, since the units are spread across the estate.

Purchasing a flat for many Singaporeans is a milestone, and a very expensive affair to be exact. Purchasing a repurchased flat without viewing is like making an uninsured gamble with our entire savings.

Much as xxx had assured buyers that they would have rectifed any defects before selling the unit. However,
- What if they buyer do not like the renovation of the unit after paying the option fee?
- What if the unit faced the undesirable west sun?
- What if the previous owner had done major renovation such as hacking of wall? I understand that buyers would be informed of such change in layout of the unit before their purchase. However, I would like to highlight that buyers are no interior designers, so how are buyers suppose to visualise the layout just by looking at the layout plan? And make a decision right on the spot?

XXX:
xxx will remove the renovation at our costs.

Interested buyers can assessed this without going into the Re-purchased flat and by viewing the exterior.

Buyers are given floor plans for new flats and Re-purchased flats. We will give them adequate time to make a decision at the point of flat selection if there are changes to the layout. If after selection, they still find the unit not in a satisfactory condition, we can consider refunding them the option fees on a case-by-case basis, subjected to approval.

ME:
Is it not possible for xxx to have an open house for the repurchased units on sale, maybe on different days for the different types of flats. Of course a cut off point of a reasonable numbers of buyers above the available number of units on sale is necessary since the chances of those later in the queue to get a flat would definately be greatly diminished anyway. Possibly buyers could be given a period of a few days to make their final decision then head to xxx to make payment for the option fee according to their queue number and allocated appointment time.

The suggestion may seem out of the box as we really do not understand the basis of the restriction. Our complains / sharing of experience may seem insignificant as I am sure many Singaporeans face the same or even more trying problems; or it could also be that we do not truly understood the rationale for such restriction, if there is a rationale behind it to begin with.

XXX:
Besides the logistic/manpower constraints, having an open house for Re-purchased flats will cause much inconvenience to the existing residents. anyway we will take note of your feedback and try it out by opening some Re-purchased units in our future launches. (I laughed my head off when I read this because they just said earlier that we can view the sun from outside the flats; meaning that they encouraged us to go on our own to view the flats, so would this not cause disturbance to the existing residents??!!)

4D anyone??

Some 4D numbers! Anyone wants to buy? Haha!

4159 (date of selection 04/01/08 and our queue number)
5159 (day of selection and our queue number)
5687 (cannot tell what this number means here!)
2171 (cost of flat $217100)
6338 (cannot tell what this number means here!)
6336 (cannot tell what this number means here!)

Hmm..that's about all I think.

We strike i-bet 2 times since 04/01/08. Win small small only. Almost strike consolation if we had bought i-bet for 4159 on last Sunday. My silly husband bought 5159! zzzzzzzzzzzz....

To hack with posts that reads 'End of ?? day of selection'!

Not important to follow up on 4th day, 5th day etc of selection anymore! I've got my flat! Haha! Although not a 5-room as what we wanted, but at least better than nothing lor. Just make the best of it and see what to do 5 years later.

I really do not want to be reminded of the process / homework before the selection; and on the days of selection before our turn, the 'painfulness' of refreshing the webpage every minute everyday to check the status, being down in the dumps when flats we shortlisted were taken up by people in the queue in front of us.

Indeed I've learnt some stuff during this 2-3 months and also realised how a certain Stat board in Singapore sucks; and because of the way that certain Stat board operate, the whole process was more 'torturing' than enjoyable. Even now looking back, I maintained that it was not enjoyable!!!

I remembered that on my selection day on 04/01/08, I felt numb and when a flat that we shortlisted was taken, I was like 'orr taken already huh? Ok lor...'kindda feeling. Numb liao. Haha. Even as we sat at the HDB lobby at 2pm, our first choice flat (we shortlisted about 10 out of the not so many choices left) was taken. Sigh....

Ok la..don't want to talk about that anymore.

Anyway here's my floorplan!!


Here's what a ID (ay interior designer hor not intellectually disabled!) friend did up with the specifications we gave. Would be making some modification as I've changed my mind about knocking down the kitchen wall. Also consulting other IDs in the meantime.

I'm back / bag!!

Look at my wishlist! I have striked off the LV bag!

Yes yes! I got my first LV bag today!! Cost me $860 can! But much cheaper as it would have cost $1070 if I had bought it here.

Happy happy...*all smiles but heart abit ache*..will snap some photos of it later!!

Oh, forgot to add that I asked Grace's hubby to get it for me in Milan :)

孩子！

孩子，
當你還很小的時候,
我花了很多時間,教你慢慢用湯匙、用筷子吃東西。
教你繫鞋帶、扣扣子、溜滑梯、教你穿衣服、梳頭髮、擰鼻涕。
這些和你在一起的點點滴滴,是多麼的令我懷念不已。
所以,當我想不起來,接不上話時,
請給我一點時間,等我一下,
讓我再想一想……極可能最後連要說什麼,我也一併忘記。
孩子，
你忘記我們練習了好幾百回,
才學會的第一首娃娃歌嗎？
是否還記得每天總要我絞盡腦汁,
去回答不知道你從哪裡冒出來的嗎？
所以,當我重覆又重覆說著老掉牙的故事,
哼著我孩提時代的兒歌時,體諒我。
讓我繼續沉醉在這些回憶中吧!
切望你,也能陪著我閒話家常吧!
孩子，
現在我常忘了扣扣子、繫鞋帶。
吃飯時,會弄髒衣服,梳頭髮時手還會不停的抖,
不要催促我,要對我多一點耐心和溫柔,
只要有你在一起,就會有很多的溫暖湧上心頭。
孩子!如今,我的腳站也站不穩,走也走不動。
所以,請你緊緊的握著我的手,陪著我,慢慢的。
就像當年一樣,我帶著你一步一步地走。

父母永远只有一个。。。

媳婦說:
「 煮淡一點妳就嫌沒有味,現在煮鹹一點妳卻說咽不下,
妳究竟想怎麼樣 ？」
母親一見兒子回來,二話不說便把飯菜往咀裡送。
她怒瞪他一眼。
他試了一口,馬上吐出來,
兒子說:「 我不是說過了嗎,媽有病不能吃太鹹!」
「 那好!媽是你的,以後由你來煮!」
媳婦怒氣沖沖地回房。
兒子無奈地輕嘆一聲,然後對母親說:
「 媽,別吃了,我去煮個麵給妳。」
「 仔,你是不是有話想跟媽說,是就說好了,別憋在心裡!
「 媽,公司下個月升我職,我會很忙,
至於老婆,她說很想出來工作,所以 ....」
母親馬上意識到兒子的意思:
「 仔,不要送媽去老人院。」
聲音似乎在哀求。
兒子沉默片刻,他是在尋找更好的理由。
「 媽,其實老人院並沒有甚麼不好,
妳知道老婆一但工作,
一定沒有時間好好服侍妳。
老人院有吃有住有人服侍照顧,不是比在家裡好得多嗎？」
「可是,阿財叔他 ....」
洗了澡,草草吃了一碗速食麵,兒子便到書房去。
他茫然地佇立於窗前,有些猶豫不決。
母親年輕便守寡,含辛茹苦將他撫養成人,供他出國讀書。
但她從不用年輕時的犧牲當作要脅他孝順的籌碼,
反而是妻子以婚姻要脅他!
真的要讓母親住老人院嗎？
仔問自己,他有些不忍。
「 可以陪你下半世的人是你老婆,難道是你媽嗎？」
阿財叔的兒子總是這樣提醒他
「 你媽都這麼老了,好命的話可以活多幾年,
為何不趁這幾年好好孝順她呢？
樹欲靜而風不息,子欲養而親不在啊 !」
親戚總是這樣勸他。
兒子不敢再想下去,深怕自己真的會改變初衷。
夕晚,太陽收斂起灼熱的金光,躲在山後憩息。
一間建在郊外山崗的一座貴族老人院。
是的,錢用得越多,兒子才心安理得。
當兒子領著母親步入大廳時,
嶄新的電視機,42吋的螢幕正播放著一部喜劇,
但觀眾一點笑聲也沒有。
幾個衣著一樣,髮型一樣的老嫗歪歪斜斜地坐在梳化上,
神情呆滯而有一個老人在自言自語,
有個正緩緩彎下腰,想去撿掉在地上的一塊餅乾吃。
兒子知道母親喜歡光亮,
所以為她選了一間陽光充足的房間。
從窗口望出去,樹蔭下,一片芳草如茵。
幾名護士推著坐在輪椅的老者在夕陽下散步,
四周悄然寂靜得令人心酸。
縱是夕陽無限好,畢竟已到了黃昏,他心中低低嘆息。
「 媽,我........我要走了 !」
母親只能點頭。
他走時,母親頻頻揮手,
她張著沒有牙的嘴,
蒼白乾燥的咀唇在囁嚅著,一副欲語還休的樣子。
兒子這才注意到母親銀灰色的頭髮,
深陷的眼窩以及打著細紋臉。
母親,真的老了!
他霍然記起一則兒時舊事。
那年他才6歲,母親有事回鄉,不便攜他同行,
於是把他寄住在阿財叔家幾天。
母親臨走時,
他驚恐地抱著母親的腿傷心大聲號哭道:
「 媽媽不要丟下我!媽媽不要走!」
最後母親沒有丟下他。
他連忙離開房間,順手把門關上,不敢回頭,
深恐那記憶像鬼魅似地追纏而來。
他回到家,
妻子與岳母正瘋狂的把母親房裡的一切扔個不亦樂乎。
身高3呎的獎杯--
那是他小學作文比賽「我的母親」第1名的勝利品!
華英字典--
那是母親整個月省吃省用所買給他的第一份生日禮物!
還有母親臨睡前要擦的風濕油,
沒有為她擦,帶去老人院又有甚麼意義呢？
「 夠了,別再扔了!」兒子怒吼道。
﹝這麼多垃圾,不把它扔掉,怎麼放得下我的東西﹞。
岳母沒好氣地說。
「 就是嘛!你趕快把你媽那張爛床給抬出去,
我明天要為我媽添張新的 !」
一堆童年的照片展現在兒子眼前,
那是母親帶他到動物園和遊樂園拍的照片。
「 它們是我媽的財產,一樣也不能丟!」
「 你這算甚態度？對我媽這麼大聲,我要你向我媽道歉!」
「 我娶妳就要愛妳的母親,
為甚麼妳嫁給我就不能愛我的母親？ 」
雨後的黑夜分外冷寂,街道蕭瑟,行人車輛格外稀少。
一輛寶馬在路上飛馳,頻頻闖紅燈,陷黃格,
呼一聲又飛馳而過。
那輛轎車一路奔往山崗上的那間老人院,
停車直奔上樓,推開母親臥房的門。
他幽靈似地站著,母親正撫摸著風濕痛的雙腿低泣。
她見到兒子手中正拿著那瓶風濕油,
顯然感到安慰的說:
「 媽忘了帶,幸好你拿來! 」
他走到母親身邊,跪了下來。
「 很晚了,媽自己擦可以了,你明天還要上班,回去吧!」
他囁嚅片刻,終於忍不住啜泣道 :
「媽,對不起,請原諒我!我們回家去吧 !」

隨著自己愈長大,
看著父母親臉龐從年輕變憔悴,
頭髮從烏絲變白髮,動作從迅捷變緩慢,多心疼!
父母親總是將最好、最寶貴的留給我們,
像蠟燭不停的燃燒自己,照亮孩子!
而我呢？
有沒有騰出一個空間給我的父母,
或者只是在當我需要停泊岸時,
才會想起他們……
其實父母親要的真的不多,
只是一句隨意的問候:爸、媽,你們今天好嗎？」
隨意買的宵夜,煮一頓再普通不過的晚餐，
睡前幫他們盖被子,
天冷幫他們添衣服、戴手套……
都能讓他們高興溫馨很久。
有時,我常在想:我希望我的子女以後如何對我。
那現在,我有沒有如此對待我的父母？
我相信,人是環環相扣的;
現在,你如何對待你的父母;
以後,你的子女就如何待你。
朋友,人世間最難報的就是父母恩,
願我們都能:以反哺之心奉敬父母,以恩之心孝順父母!
生命不要求我們成為最好的,只要求我們作最大的努力!
