又來哲學討論

哥哥一到考試前後，奇思異想就有如泉湧。之前又有幸聽他一席話。

朗：我諗我上一世係caveman (洞穴人)嚟！
媽： 哈哈！係呀？
朗： 其實，Stonehenge我有份起㗎！（按：就是那位於英國的神秘石陣古蹟。大家還記得80年代建造業訓練局那個「依座紅磡體育館，同東區走廊，我有份起㗎，威呢？」的廣告嗎？他那自信的神情就和廣告的主角一樣。）
媽： 嘩，你就好啦，有份起！
朗：我好想快啲到下一世呀！
媽：（呆了兩秒，大驚）點解呀？？？？你依世啱啱先開始。。。 （準備長篇大論說講生命誠可貴的道理。。。）
朗： （笑）我諗我下一世會識到好多勁friend！（按：勁friend=好厲害的朋友，要不是骨格精奇就是天生異稟那類。）
媽： （不悅）咁你依家覺得我唔夠勁定係同你唔夠friend吖。。。
朗朗： （傻笑）
媽： （又傷心又擔心，支吾以對）其實呢。。。唔洗等下一世，你依世一定會遇到好多勁friend㗎。。。你大個就會識到。。。
朗： 我覺得Angry bird都好勁㗎！
媽：（鬆一口氣，幸好他仍像一個小朋友。）

試後抑鬱症

搞話劇的朋友，為套劇勞心勞力，情緒於謝幕前推至最高再延續至慶功，一覺睡醒卻覺得空虛無比，總有好幾天悶悶不樂，我們稱之為「Show後抑鬱症」。

哥哥昨天考完試，也出現類似情況。他感到很失落。我們笑說這是「試後抑鬱症」。治療方式就是跟他玩他近來最愛的「大富翁」－ 這秒秒百幾萬上落的遊戲，並不遵從一分耕耘一分收穫的模式，勝負是取決於玩家的眼光，野心和運氣。連續玩了兩小時，哥哥終於舒筋活絡，縱使心情仍有點複雜，但很快便睡得安穩。

Post exam depression

I can't believe Lucas has post exam depression.

'I am upset because the exam is over.  I want to do revision! I want Mami!'  This was exactly what he said.

Wait... why I was associated with 'examination'??

可愛的哥哥

吃飯時，哥哥笑咪咪地告訴我他門牙起來鬆鬆的，很快會脫掉。說時他又高興又害羞，臉也紅了起來。
孩子會為自己長大而覺得驕傲呢！

「懂」。。。你懂嗎？

今天陪哥哥溫中文。他無聊地在紙上畫了那個像印章的東西。
我：專心溫書.....你設計印章嗎？袁重花....那個像韋字的是甚麼字？
他說：這個東西不是印章，這是一個「懂」，你要整個正方形去看。
我：甚麼？？？甚麼是「懂」？
他：所有東西都是「懂」。糖是「懂」，花又是「懂」，朱古力都是「懂」。（然後將一整粒金莎放入口）
我：（語塞）非常玄妙。可否再解釋多些「懂」為何物？
哥哥：（在右邊畫了一個小圓，上面加一條粗線，然後指著）看，「懂」就是一個solar system。
我：（呆了）大師，你看通人世，修成正果了.....

Happy New Year

Hello everyone, wish you a joyful 2013!!

Lucas's latest philosophical question

What is the difference between transparency and invisibility?

I want to give him an explanation in this way:

If someone blocks your view when you watch TV, you can say, you are not transparent, are you?
If a boy stares at another girl in front of his girlfriend, the girlfriend will say, you think I am invisible, huh?

人生的計劃

六歲的Lucas己為他三十年後的人生安排得燙貼。

他說：「我會到阿根廷做恐龍學家，三十五歲跟婷婷（他的幼稚園同學）結婚，然後生一個好可愛的寶寶。寶寶會在阿根廷出世，那他就不用（從香港）乘飛機來那麼辛苦。你（即是我）會跟我住在一起，幫助照顧寶寶。」OMG！！！

Infinity

Lucas asked me if 'infinity' is a number.  Okay, he gets me again by such a philosophical question.
Does anyone know the answer?  I know I can search it from Wikipedia, but I want to hear other people's thoughts.

The two Mr. Yuen Juniors were modelling last evening

My cousin asked my kids to help on a photo-shooting last evening for a product catalogue, with two more children from her friends.

My boys are the eldest among four, but they were the most uncooperative pairs.  They lied and 'swam' breaststroke on the floor, were being hyperactive, fighting with each other, bumping here and there.  In one word, uncontrollable.

If you look at the four models, you can tell obviously who were the barbarians.

Fortunately Lucas and Linus cooperated at last and the photographer could take several pictures for them.  They stayed quiet by the end because they were just too busy to eat up all eligible props.

What a funny experience!

Fashion sense

I am wondering if Lucas wants to be a fashion stylist.  Every time when I go out with him, he would rush to my wardrobe, and suggest (or even instruct) me what I should wear.  


This morning, when I flipped through the online catalog of Agnes b voyage, Lucas was interested and took a look, then he asked me to stop at a particular page, there was a black leather shoulder bag, he asked me to buy it because I would look cool with it, he said.

魚柳

今天晚餐有魚柳，哥哥問那是甚麼。爸爸回答他那是魚柳。
「那麼，這片魚柳是用甚麼魚來做呢？」
「er.....我想是石班吧！」其實爸爸也不大清楚。
我呆著了！做了三十多年人，完全沒有想過常常吃下肚的魚柳是甚麼來的！
真是自愧不如！！

爛gag王

昨天我帶著兩位公子到Pacific Coffee°哥哥發現他愛喝的Appletizer售清,顯得非常失望°
哥哥建議到Starbucks看看,我告訴他我剛剛才到過那兒,看不見Appletizer,他看起來更失望° 幸好他很快便接受了另一款我極力地推介的Sparkling Lemonade°

那時我已經滿頭大汗°剛找了位坐好,弟弟突然鬧情緒,說:「我要搭Starbucks!」

「Huh?甚麼去Starbucks呀?我們現在在Pacific Coffee呀!」我說°

「我要搭Starbucks呀!」他說°

「甚麼叫搭Starbucks呀!」我問°

「我想搭Starbucks返屋企!!」弟弟努力地解釋,我才明白他說甚麼°

我答:「Starbucks不是Bus, 是Cafe呀傻B°」

哥哥:「哈哈哈哈哈!弟弟以為Starbucks係巴士!哈哈哈哈哈!」

我責備哥哥:「不准笑,弟弟係BB,所以弄錯了!」我自己卻忍不住笑.....

綿綿情話

朗朗不太跟人說話,但對著媽媽我,就最懂說情話°

他三歲多時,已經開始跟我討論「我為何在此」、「我從那裏來」此等哲學性問題°朗朗又問過遠在他未住在我的肚子前,他在那裏°無知的我,以我對世界有限的認知,說他以前是在蒼穹間自由地飛翔°我認為天地萬物都是宇宙的物質結合而成°

有一天,朗朗看著書架上的一張相,問:「這張相是甚麼時候影的呢?」

「是爸爸畢業時影的相,你見到媽咪嗎?」我答°

「嗯!這個!」他的小手指指著相中的我°

「這是很久前的事了,那時媽咪才廿多歲......唉!跟現在看起來很不同吧!」我喃喃自語°

「那時我在太空嗎?」

「哈哈!你還記得我跟你這麼說°是啊!那時你還未出世°」

「那麼,我為甚麼會走進你的肚子裏?」他問了一個哲學論文的題目°

面對著這不懂怎麼回答的問題,我唯有反問°「是啊,我也不知道,我想是你選擇的°那麼為甚麼你會走進我的肚子裏?」

「因為我喜歡你啊!」朗朗再給我一個擁抱°


你說我怎能不溶掉?

Halloween costume ideas

There is one month to Halloween, I don't know why I like this festival so much and am anticipating it.


Yesterday, I asked the boys what they would like to dress up during that day.  Lucas told me he wanted to dress like the pilot of Betsy, a retired plane of Cathay Pacific Airways.  When I asked what Linus would like to be, he said......
"Ballerina"!!

Expectation

I was reading several entries under the label "Manki" in this blog just now.  They recalled me the days when Linus was just born and Lucas was less than two years old.  They also reminded me my tenderness towards Lucas when he was still a baby.  I tended not to punish or scolded him at that time.


Lucas is four years old now, my expectation on him is much higher than before.  I have to admit sometimes I lose my temper and patience when he is unreasonable, I punish him hard.


I suddenly remember he is still a very little kid, why should I set such a high expectation on him?


I should remind myself always to show my gentleness towards the little boys.


I love you Lucas.

懂烹飪的男人

是不是很charm?

Lucas is cute

This is an entry that I show Lucas how to use the blog.

Lucas is handsome, he is very smart and cute!

Cupcake sweetie

This morning, Lucas sneaked into our bed before school as usual.


I tucked him under the duvet, he circled his arms around my neck, then he said, 'Mommy, I dreamed you made cupcakes for us last night!'


Oh this was extremely sweet.  I also melted.....


Should make two dozens of cupcakes this weekend!

Philosophical Lucas

Since his three year-old, Lucas started to ask questions.  His curiosity was expanding day by day.  Sometimes, he asks me questions which are very philosophical and has no 'model answers'.

One night, he sneaked into my bed, he always does this when he doesn't want to sleep in his own bed (actually almost everyday).  I tucked him under my blanket, he stared at the ceiling, the started the Q&A session.  I tried my best to answer based on my understanding and knowledge I knew from National Geographic.

L: Lucas

M: Manki

L: 'Why do human dream?'

M: 'Human should consolidate and tidy up their memory and the information they receive in daytime when they sleep.  During sleeping, the whole body will rest except the brain.  That's why you can see some images fluttering even when you close your eyes.  This is like you bring all your toys out in the daytime, and tidy them up once you finish playing.

There are sweet dreams and nightmares.  If you have had a sweet dream, when you wake up, put a broad smile on your face.  If you have had a nightmare, don't worry, it is not real.

L: 'Why do kids grow taller but not grown up?'

M: Most people grow taller between 0-21 year-old, once they turn into grown ups, you will not get taller, but start to get older, This is the life cycle.  When you get old, you may find someone you truly love, then you may want to build a family with her and have babies.......
