边看凤凰台，边改作业。
广告时，无意间听到一首用蒙古语演唱的歌，小女孩的声音好听极了！！纯纯的，好可爱的童音，我一下子就喜欢上了。小娃娃稚气的童音，好奇地问东问西，爸爸妈妈耐心慈祥地回答着她的问题，一问一答，一来一往，听起来真的是好可爱呢！
歌曲并不花俏，但却直达心灵。简单而纯朴，听了心情就像蒙古的草原和蓝天一样清新而透明呢~ 聆听时心里都是满满的幸福感觉。多么快乐幸福温暖的家庭啊！ =)
我们心中是需要保有一些自然纯朴的感动的。
Hehe!! 马上就上网找这首歌~~
《吉祥三宝》 ^_^
《Father And Mother I Love You = FAMILY》

歌词翻译
爸爸（跳在火盆旁）
嘴里念念有词
小女儿问，爸爸，什么是太阳？什么是月亮？什么是星星？
爸爸说，哎，是吉祥三宝
妈妈（在一边缝补衣服）
嘴里叼着棉线
小女儿转向妈妈妈妈，什么是绿叶？什么是花朵？什么是果实？
妈妈说，哎，是吉祥三宝啊
小女儿（想了一想）
抬头还问，什么是爸爸？什么是妈妈？什么是我？
爸爸妈妈说，是吉祥三宝喂，永远吉祥。

waiting
海潮不知什么时候退走了
抛下了一只没有桨的船
听不见波涛的喧嚣
也听不见风暴的呐喊
它默默地搁浅在沙滩上
显得有些孤独，又有些伤感
但它却固执地等待着
等待着潮水再返海岸
它怎能不去漂泊呢？
它毕竟只是一条船……
No one knows when the tide went out,
leaving behind a boat without oars.
Which hears neither roar of waves,
nor cries of windstorm.
Quietly stranded on the shore,
alone and desolate.
Obstinately it waits,
waits for the tide to turn.
It can only drift:
It is, after all, but a boat
跌跌撞撞，想走不平凡的路
潜意识里仍不停地追逐，是浪漫？还是世故？
这个世界太辽阔了，我的心在游移，我要的是什么？
我在等待着什么？
抛下了一只没有桨的船
听不见波涛的喧嚣
也听不见风暴的呐喊
它默默地搁浅在沙滩上
显得有些孤独，又有些伤感
但它却固执地等待着
等待着潮水再返海岸
它怎能不去漂泊呢？
它毕竟只是一条船……
No one knows when the tide went out,
leaving behind a boat without oars.
Which hears neither roar of waves,
nor cries of windstorm.
Quietly stranded on the shore,
alone and desolate.
Obstinately it waits,
waits for the tide to turn.
It can only drift:
It is, after all, but a boat
跌跌撞撞，想走不平凡的路
潜意识里仍不停地追逐，是浪漫？还是世故？
这个世界太辽阔了，我的心在游移，我要的是什么？
我在等待着什么？

Exam Paper Fever
所设的考卷，又被退回来了……
看了看被画起来的地方
天啊！都是一些可有可无的改变
什么要对齐啦、不直啦、课本里没有这个生字啦等等
学生们没学过的字就不能出吗？
“学生们只学过‘惊’ 没学过 ‘惊慌’，所以我们不能考 ‘惊慌’ 这个词。 ”
难怪新加坡的语文程度一直提升不起来……
或者应该说是我校而已呢？
而且我出的也不是太难的字啊，别的学校就可以不用太考虑到这个问题，为什么我校就那么怕事呢？怕家长追问吗？
不过有一些错误的确是自己粗心了，打错了一两个字。
今天一定要做完，明天就要交给校长看了。
唉！今天放学回家，我又习惯性地磕掉了一筒冰淇淋……
教师难为啊~

小休片刻
Finally! It’s Friday!
Really need a rest…
心血来潮，拿出CD听听。耳边响着林志炫 Terry Lin 的歌声。
还是那么地喜欢。声音干净得没有一点儿杂质，真假音转换得如此自然。
现今华语歌坛好像还没有人可如此吧。。。
听起来很舒服~ 嘻嘻！忍不住也跟着哼了几句 ~~(^o^)~~
可惜好像近来都没有发片了

Photography
昨天边吃晚餐，边看电视。
这集的 “台湾脚逛大陆”介绍了新疆。那里的风景真的是美不胜收。
还有王母娘娘的瑶池~~~~ 哇！真是心生向往~~~~~
难怪那里堪称是“摄影者的天堂”。有生之年，真希望能够去那里走一走。
尽情的照相去~~
照它个上百上千张 ^_^
顺便去放松心情，远离城市的喧嚣，自由自在，多好！
就这么刚好，在网上看到了一位朋友的摄影作品，撩起了对摄影的兴趣。
真佩服这些大男生~
透过他的摄影镜头，所看到的世界可以是如此的美丽。
真的很用心思取角度呢！
哈哈！相比之下，我的照片顿时成了幼稚园的程度了~ =p

Picking Litter and Feeding Mosquitoes
Brought my girls to zhenghua park to pick litters, for community work.
this is the first time me bringing students out of school~
weather was so hot over there, the sun was really merciless, and there was not a single shade at all
Even i was sweating profusely, not to mention abt the students le
luckily i told the girls to bring along their umbrellas, caps, and water bottles
but seems like i am the only one using the umbrella in the end
they were so energetic, sprinting and running all around the park
wonder where they get all such engergy from?
(or am i being old?? ^_^!! )
and poor me, as i am the only teacher over there, have to chase after them, taking photos for school magazine, making sure they dont do anything funny, and to concentrate on picking the litters
hehe! feeling exactly like a nanny
but it was fun~~
we even discovered a rabina plant, and plucked the fruits with the students!
haha! we were lucky not to be caught by the owner
we took lots of photos as well!!
(we all end up playing in the end, forgot all abt the community work we first set out to do le... =p)
students starting to pester me to see the photos
think i will create an online album for them to view and download ba
say "5 Joy"!!!!! ^o^

Khia Soo emails Mum
Modern technology has made it possible for latchkey children to communicate with parents who are still at work when they go home.
For those like Khia Soo, who hardly see their parents, they can always send an email.......
Dear Mummy,
I am feeling very sad.
Today in school, Zhong Guoren - my classmate from China - beat me again, in a Maths test. That boy is an unstoppable genius machine.
Last week, he beat me in sports too.
If he were not here, I would have come in first and gotten a gold.
But because the Government says we must welcome foreign talents to increaseour population and to improve our economy, I got a bronze instead.
This sucks.
At first, we laughed at them, because their English was not very good. Theirmaths and science were good, and their Chinese was excellent (but who caresabout Chinese language, right?).
But then, their Englishgot better and now, they are kicking our backsides in this subject too.
I think we should get the Government to do something about this.
Why didn't you have more babies, Mummy? I wouldn't mind having a brother ora sister to play with. I am an only child, and because you and Daddy are notmaking enough babies, we have to get people from other countries, people who make it hard for me to be number one in my class.
I think you are very selfish to just have me, Mummy.
I don't like to lose, Mummy. I am used to being first in my class. And my school was very small too, like Singapore, so it was easy to be first. Now my school is bigger, and I have to fight harder to be first.
Why can't we just compete with ourselves, among Singaporeans only (okay, and maybe Permanent Residents)?
Why can't they have a new category for all the tests and CCAs? We could have a Best Local Maths Student category and a Best Local Sportsman category, then at least, if I don't win Best Maths Student, I can be Best Local Maths Student and feel better about myself.
Just like my school is ranked one of the Top 20 Value-added Secondary Schools with a Special Assessment Award for Knitting CCA, I also want to be a top student.
Maybe we need to have a new category like "Top 20 Value-addedSecondary Schools (Got China Students)".
This is because our school has smart foreign students and should be rankedseparately so that schools without smart foreign students won't feel so jealous. And, maybe, we should drop Literature as a subject too. I hate Literature, hard to score "A"s.
In fact, we should have streams like EM1 (Local) and EM1 (China andOthers). Let the smart China students have their own stream.
I want to go to university when I grow up, especially the National University of Singapore (NUS), because our newspapers say that NUS is evenbetter than Princeton and Cornell in the United States.
But I hear there are many brilliant China students in NUS, too.
I don't want to be having private tuition until I am 25 years old, just to keep up with my foreign classmates in the Uni. Or else, I will have no time to meet girls and then I will be forced to go to Vietnam or Kelantan to find a wife when I want to start a family.
In fact, I am very upset with foreigners competing with us even in this area.
All the girls I know say that when they finish studying and go to work,they want to marry ang mohs, because Singapore men are unromantic and do not want to know how to make a girl happy.
So, the ang mohs are even stealing ourwomen.
I prefer to marry a Singapore girl, of course, but only if she knows how tocook and wash, and peel my prawns for me (like you, Mummy). But nowadays, Singapore girls are so fierce, just because they study, and earn their own money.
Maybe that is why in Chinatown, I saw this big Singapore Rooster, and it was sitting on eggs. I think the Singapore Hen left him to look after the eggs, because she had to work and do all the things an educated Hen does. (Kumarin our D&D pointed out about the rooster on eggs @ Chinatown CNY05.....rooster lay eggs?? ..now U know why)
I also worry I cannot find a job when I am older. My friend, Ah Hock, tells me his mother feels all these Chinese foreigners are stealing our jobs and our men (and the ang mohs are stealing our women).
That is very scary, Mummy. You told me many China women are in Singapore only to do naughty things, like relieve old men of their Central Provident Fund money.
Once an uncle wrote in the papers that we should catch those foreign women who are tall, have long hair and legs, and wear tight, revealing outfits in black or red and behave coquettishly.
I think we should only accept foreign women who are short, have short hair and legs, and wear loose, covered-up outfits in white or blue, and behave like a man.
Okay, Mummy, I have to go to my Chinese, Maths and Science tuition classesnow.
If I don't go, I won't be able to beat Zhong Guoren.
Your son,
Khia Soo
