最亲爱的小宝贝恩恩, 你好! “今早”的课上得怎样?　很好！对吗？！ “今早”妈妈动手术，住院至少住上五六天，恩恩在家里会自己照顾自己吗？恩恩一定会的，对吗？恩恩是一个非常懂事的小女孩。妈妈想，恩恩一定不止会照顾好 自己，也还会帮爸爸照顾才两岁半的俊俊弟弟，对不？恩恩是个好孩子！好姐姐！一定不会让爸爸辛苦的。妈妈说得对吗？ 恩，妈妈在不同的两个时候，和恩恩一起去两个不同的 Guardian 药店，那里正好有卖 Barbie 的衣服。妈妈乘恩恩没看到时，赶快去买了 Barbie 的衣服。一套是 “Red Riding Hood”，另一套是恩恩最喜欢的新娘衣。高兴吗？等妈妈储够了钱，再买别的，好不好？ 恩，你在做什么？是不是在跳舞？扮姑娘？看故事书？看录影带？做功课？…［不，我在看亲爱的妈妈的信！］小坏蛋！小可爱，　你以前还更小的时候就会这样捉弄爸爸了。电话里亲爱的爸爸问：［恩，你在做什么？］恩说：［打电话 lor!］看你，好淘气！ 好啦，不再说啦。妈妈希望恩恩越来越聪明。让我们一起再接再厉，把更多的“好工夫”学到手，好吗？让我们手携手，共进步。我们一定要做伟大的主的好 孩子。恩恩有信心吗？在主的帮助下，我们一定会成功的。到那时，我们每时每刻都会快乐似神仙。主啊！请您指引我们，教导我们，帮助我们，保佑我们。原谅我 们的一切过错吧主耶苏。我们非常谢谢您。 恩恩，亲爱的，别忘记天天祷告啊！ 嗯，末！妈妈亲亲你宝贝。 妈祝你 姐弟两相亲相爱！ 健康可爱！ 聪明伶俐！ 也愿主永远保佑恩恩！ 永远永远爱着恩恩的妈妈 一九八五年十月十四日 於伊丽沙白医院　Ward 4 Room 8 *********** This is a letter my mom wrote the night before a major surgery back in 1985.

Visited Sin Teck (one of Zibin’s former housemates in Toronto) and Oranna briefly today. Their son Althan is one active 18-month old! There wasn’t a moment he kept still. We got along very well, but I think he liked my bag better than he liked me :P

Morning Glory, “Moody” Zibin & Madeira **************** Zibin’s not yet used to my tendency to whip out my camera at unpredictable moments. Breakfast arrives at the coffee shop. He starts reaching out for it and I go, “Wait wait wait…take photo first!” We’re walking along Sunset Way and we pass by a house with an […]

In 1991, a girl I had never seen before walked up to me out of the blue and told me, “I know you are Yang Ying’en. I am Cai Enling. I think we should be friends.” In my autograph book at the end of that same year, she wrote as part of her message that […]

Overheard: John:*calling out after entering the front door after sending Cathy back* “Kor, what’s the score?” ZB:*calls back from my living room* “Two-Zero” John:*taking off his shoes* “Is Croatia winning?” ZB:*calls out again* “No. Got two zeros. (i.e. 0-0)” ************* Zibin’s sick. He hadn’t taken a day of MC for more than 6 months and […]

I showed Zibin Hui Mei’s soccer questions on her most recent blog post and he started dictating me the answers to give. John walked in while I was taking the ‘dictation’, started chiming in, and in the end took over my lap-top and ended up typing the rest of the answers himself. He was so […]

Greymatter Photography So far I’ve had appointments with four wedding photographers and I haven’t liked any of their portfolios. (Btw, both Cathy and I are not having studio photography so we’re just looking for actual day photographer.) Cathy had a friend who was extremely pleased with her actual day photographer, and I really liked the […]
