Whao…seems like everyone very addicted to this Rotiboy wor. I tried before, like that only lor, roti lor, wander why so many people so fancy about it? I think could it be freshly bake bread/bun hard to find?
Being a baker’s daughter, I have been spoilt by freshly bake confectioneries, from the traditional kai-dan-go 鸡蛋糕 , […]

孩 子还没出世前，已经和MCAP在争论她们未来的教育，到现在t1和t2已经两岁了，还没有结果。原因无他，只因我们两人的教育背景不一样。MCAP受全英 文教育，华文大字不懂一个，教他写自己的中文名好像画图画一样，教他说华语，他的舌头忽然不见了。而我从华小到独中，和家人朋友都以华语交谈，连读外国著 作都是读中文翻译的，用英语交谈？觉得把舌头打结容易多了。结果现在可以用来blog的英文水平是等到读学院的时候才「逼」出来的。
MCAP希望送孩子去收英文教育，中文可以由我来在家教。原因很简单，他说英文是国际语文，全世界通用，而且最重要的是英文水平要好才能容易找工作，然后每次说到这里就用我来做例子！中文对他来说也是重要，毕竟我们是华人，但能说能看也就可以了。
而我呢是希望孩子读华小然后独中，英文由MCAP负责。我的原因不只是「华人要懂得华文」那么简单。原因我认为当一个孩子在认字的时候，也同时在学道理。而中文文以载道，当孩子认得「人之初，性本善」的时候，他不单只是懂得了六个字，也懂得了他的道理。
另一个原因是因为从我的观察，凡是受英文教育背景的学生在后来如果要学华语都有困难，而受中文教育的呢没有任何问题把英语学上口。
到现在还在辩论咧， 朋友说小学要在三岁时报名，这麽说我们还有一年时间来ngam ngam cham cham.

梁文福

我很喜欢梁文福的这本诗集–其实我是在和时光恋爱。原本是我妹妹的书，很不辛的她带回来读，给我看见非常喜欢和她讨了来，有梁文福的亲笔签名喔 ∶-）。
翻开第一页是“我的祷词 ”∶
不要给我太多的聪明去向不够的人索取，给我一颗原谅的心，去享有不怨的权力。
不要给我美丽的名姓去欺骗平凡的自己，给我一颗渺小的心，满载了欣喜，装不下妒忌。
不要给我太好的记性去计算曾经的怜悯，给我一颗善忘的心，记住了曾经的接受，就忘了过去的施予。不要给我太多的时间去陪伴自己的忧虑，给我一颗炙热的心去包容酷冷的真理。
没有路的地方别急着给我平坦，让我的脚板认识荆刺，但给我认清方向的眼睛。
没有光的地方别急着安排光亮,让我摸索自己的勇气，但给我等待的信心。
不要给我唇齿的伶俐去说太多堂皇的道理，给我一颗专注的心，让我先懂得仔细聆听。
不要给我永远的顺利，我不想在幸福中忘了同情。给我一颗感激的心，让我在未失去时就懂得珍惜。
共勉
