体罚 / Corporal punishment

比比近来有脾气暴躁的现象。晚上她玩得兴起有时会喊。如果叫她不可以,她可能会静个半分钟,然后又吵了。我没有耐性,警告到第三次,我就会告诉她“如果再喊,妈妈就打啦!”

她有时会不甘愿地跑到老远脸黑黑地坐着。

有时举手作打我状,那就会真正的惹火我。我就狠狠地打她的小手,让她知道被打有多痛。近几天她学会了不高兴/哭时大喊,是超高音的那种。又中了我的几个耳光。

老早老早告诉家婆千万千万不可以宠坏比比,小孩不从小教,三岁过后就很难把坏本性矫正过来。我讨厌没有礼貌,没有家教的小孩。可是,体罚能防止比比变怀吗?

Bibi has signs of bad temper recently. At nights when she is high from playing, she'll shout. If I ask her not to shout, she might be quiet for 30 seconds, before making noise again. I am impatient, on 3rd warning, I will tell her "If you shout again, I will beat you!"

Sometimes she will unwillingly moves to a corner and sit there with black face.

Sometimes she raises her hand and wanted to beat me! And that really set me "on". I would beat hard on her hand, let her know how painful it is to be beaten. In the last few days, she likes to scream when unhappy/crying, with super high pitch tone. I gave her a few slaps.

I told my mother inlaw since long ago to not spoil Bibi. Kids need to be educate since little, else it's very hard to correct their bad characteristics after 3 years old. I hate rude kids. But, will corporal punishment prevent Bibi from turning into a spoiled kid?

可爱 / Cute

我到中国去公干时,比比大姑姑买了一只价值不菲的小狗,听说要一/两千元。
今天带比比回她PoPo家时,她大姑姑把狗带来了,名叫Curly。我家一向爱狗,好多年前养过两只狐狸狗。宠物很可爱,可是需要细心侍养。

比比看见Curly来,赶快爬到沙发去,拍着胸口“哎哟,比比怕怕!”可是看我抱着小狗玩,她又要抢着拍照,小瓜和小狗一样,超可爱。

今天有机会拍了几张比比和她5岁表哥的照片。再多一个星期比比2岁5个月,可是看来好像和表哥差不多大啰,女孩长得那么大,怎么办?

When I was in China for work, Bibi's big GuGu bought a puppy, I heard that it's expensive, around 1 to 2 thousands.
Today when I brought Bibi back to her Popo's house, her GuGu brought the puppy there too, her name is Curly. My family and I have always love dogs, many years ago we used to have 2 cute dogs. Pets are cute, but you need to spend a lot of love and care on them.

As soon as Bibi saw Curly came, she climbed up to the sofa, tapping her chest "Aiyo, Bibi scares!" But when she saw me holding and playing with Curly, she wants to take photo with the puppy! My precious and the puppy, both are so cute and lovely.

Today I took a few photos of Bibi and her 5 years old cousin. A week from now Bibi is 2 years 5 months, but she seems to be as big as her cousin eh, such a big size girl, should I be worried?

扶持 / Support

今天早上原本和同事搭9:30的班机到上海,再转机青岛,再转三个小时车到日照(中国)去公干。
怎知道迟了5分钟,竟然没得check in,只好眼睁睁看着飞机丢下我们飞走了。
同事还因为这样被妈妈和老婆臭骂了一整天。

站在外人的角度,我觉得同事的老婆也太不近人情了。不幸误机已经发生了,何必责备而加重对方的失落感?比比爸爸呢,告诉我下次要早一点出门,以防万一。没有责备,没有大小声。

回头想想,时时为了一点小事(忘记关厕所门,忘记倒垃圾,忘记打车灯,等等等等等等。。。),我也会臭骂比比爸爸。那和同事老婆有啥分别?!

我要改,我要进步,我们要做到互相扶持,给比比一个好榜样。就好像她近来在主日学老师那儿学来,每天说的:“要彼此相爱",然后自己再加一句:“不可以打架。”哈哈哈。

我可爱的比比!!

Today colleague and I are supposed to board the 9:30am flight to Shanghai, transit to Qingtao, then take a 3 hours car ride to Rizhao (China) for work.
We were late for 5 minutes and were refused to check in, the plane had took off without us.
Colleague was scolded by mother and wife because of that.

From an outsider point of view, I think that colleague's wife is being insensitive. Unfortunate missed-flight event already happened, why blame and make him feel even worse? As for Bibi's Baba, he told me to get out earlier next time just in case, no blaming, no argument.

I think about it, most of the time because of small little things (forgot to close toilet's door, forgot to throw out rubbish, forgot to on car signal, etc etc etc...), I will screw Bibi's Baba! How am I different from my colleague's wife?

I want to change, I want to improve, we need to support each other, giving Bibi a good example. Just like what she learns from Sunday school teacher, she says it everyday :"We must love each other", and then she adds her own sentence :"Cannot fight!" Hahaha.

My lovely lovely Bibi!!

天使 / Angel

家婆又为比比裁了几件新裙子。昨天到巴生去参加亲戚的婚礼(家婆的外家亲戚,我也分不清谁是谁,家族实在是太多人了),比比穿了那件粉红的露背裙,加上她大姑姑让她穿上的天使翅膀,引来现场无数的眼光。

她,就是我小小的天使。

Bibi's Popo made a few new dresses for her. Yesterday we went to Klang for a relative's wedding dinner (Bibi's Popo side of relative, I can't really make out of who is who, too many in the family!), Bibi was wearing the pink bare-back dress, plus the angel wing her big GuGu made her wear, she attracked many pairs of eyes.

She, is my little angel.

减肥? / Diet?

近来不断地提醒比比Popo,不要让她吃太多,肚子饱了就好,不需要把盘里的食物都塞光光。
一岁以下的婴孩可以有 baby fat, 两岁以后的就是“肥细胞成长期“了!

生于一个父母都有肥细胞的家庭,比比的基因怎么会是像她Popo说的“她不会胖啊,长大自己就会苗条啦!”再吃下去,再把胃撑大,把肥细胞养肥,那就是一辈子的辛苦了。

比比妈妈 - 我 - 正是受害者,明白减肥的痛苦,才会不厌其烦地重复又重复,希望比比Popo能了解其中的严重性,免得一失足成千古恨呀!

Lately I have been constantly reminding Bibi's grandma to not feed her too much. As long as she is full, there is no need to make her finish all the food in her plate in every single meal.

Baby under 1 can have baby fat, but 2 and above, that is when the fat cells start to grow!

Being born in a family where both parents have fat cells, how possible is Bibi as described by her grandma "She is not fat, she will slim down automatically when grow up!" If she continues to over-eat, enlarge her tummy, feed the fat cells, then it will be a lifetime issue.

Bibi's mama - ME - is a victim, who understand how difficult and miserable it is to be on diet. That's why I keep repeating and repeating, hopefully soon Bibi's Popo will understand how serious weight problem can be, rather than to regret later!

"Tak Mahu" / "Don't want" ~ in Malay

比比在家婆跑步机上狠狠摔了一交,右脚一大片溃烂。
家佣叫她擦药,猜她怎么答?

Bibi fell on Popo's treadmill quite badly, her right leg was bleeding, with pus and all. Maid told her to put some meds, guess how she replies?
