冬菇亭早餐

泥爸很喜歡到茶餐廳,尤其是早餐加熱奶茶,在泥爸這個草根小市民的眼中比很多珍肴異饌更要垂涎三尺。

可惜,這些簡單的要求卻越發得不到滿足。現在要找一家用"心"做食物的茶餐廳是非常困難。

不要說小孩子泥爸距離成張檯都聞到嘅泥爺爺杯中奶茶香,簡單如一碗餐肉通粉也做不好,餐肉或是開罐切片隨即放在通粉上,或預先煎好,有客人點叫時再放入碗中;半溫不熱的,吃得人滿不是味兒。

今天泥爸媽有幸在南山冬菇亭吃了一頓頗為滿意的早餐。雖然奶茶仍然不香,但很滑、成色也好;嫩滑炒蛋放少許餐桌鹽很是滋味;加兩元換來的奶醬多也不賴,大量的煉奶和花生醬鋪在即烘的麵包上,賣相已相當了得;放入口,煉奶的濃甜、花生醬的甘香,多士的鬆化,混和後那種感覺,叫人欲罷不能!!

最要緊是那兩片午餐肉是即煎的,香噴噴、熱乎乎地放進口中,再補上一匙通粉連味精清湯,絕非筆墨所能形容的美味。最後,再以濃滑的熱奶茶作總結.....

朕,滿足矣!

小學生還者

和一班小五、小六的同學聚會,數下數下都畢業了N年,到今天還有四分之一班的同學仔有聯絡,確實不易。

難得的友誼,要好好珍惜啊!

歲半的孩子



究竟一個歲半的孩子應該是何等模樣?泥爸媽不是太清楚,因為我們兩名孩子的成長速率是迥然不同。

同一年紀(泥哥約大一個月),同一地點。哥哥已懂得爸媽的指示,擺好post拍照,再送上甜美笑容。弟弟卻還是那麼天真可愛,常常擺上好大生意要處理的愁眉不展模樣,傻呵呵的。

很感恩天父賜給泥爸媽這對活寶,可以經歷哥哥的聰穎早熟,也可享受弟弟的粘人BB個性。就好像衪創造的我們;不同膚色、不同樣貌、不同個性;但衪依然愛我們到底。

我們,也愛泥兄弟到底!

年初三KTS團拜

泥爸一班中學同學每年都會辦團拜 ,人數也逐年遞增,先是另一半,再來是開枝散葉;只係泥爸個人也獻上一大兩細了。

泥爸很享受和這班一起成長的同學見見面、吹吹水。

有趣地大多數同學都屬於地盤業和工廠業這兩大夕陽行業,話匣子自然很多,加上人到中年,懷緬過去的種種人和事,人生便是如此吧!
數年的努力經營者下,孩子們已自成一黨,玩個不亦樂乎呢!

年初二煙花Display

年初二煙花匯演,泥氏舉家出動, 因為攞咗飛去海港城天台停車場睇,唔使同人逼。

今次是阿泥第一次睇維港煙花,也是泥哥的第二次,不過他已完全忘記首次的經歷了.....







角度不太理想,不過唔使排隊又成七點半先入場,無求矣!

孩子,你大個咗好多,爸爸騎完膊馬後痛了一晚,看來好快抱唔起你了.....

同樣,係相機影唔到的角度,泥媽也堅忍地抱住阿泥,嘩嘩啦地看煙花呢!

年初一慶團圓

年初一是充滿喜樂的,林氏一族會到父母親家裡拜年,孩子們也會玩作一團。日漸長大的孩子最喜歡的自然是遊戲機!

泥B: "多多"(阿泥發音不正的"哥哥")你玩緊乜呀?

泥哥: ..........(完全冇反應.....)


搞下搞下,三個男孩子做乜東東呢?







泥爸媽: 阿泥你唔好聞部機啦.....





無論和表哥定係堂阿哥,結果也是一樣。








今日的晚餐很豐盛,有大埔忠誠盆菜、泥爺爺的名菜薑蔥鯉魚等等,飽到呢.....:P

但係最逗人開心的,始終是阿泥,淨係拜拜都搞咗幾分鐘:P

年卅十處處年宵

說出來可能無人相信,孩子直到今年才首次行花市。

年卅十,我們趁阿泥午睡時和孩子到花墟行他人生首次的年宵 ,一切都是那麼新奇有趣,加上下午遊人不多,行得好舒服呢。

最後傻小子揀了一只風車做禮物,泥爸係買氫氣球給阿泥時又向泥媽提出額外要求,孩子收穫甚豐啊。

無諗過係泥爸都買到份禮物畀自己.....超級吹氣500GB嘅Iphone 5G一部(大家估下張相有乜特別呢?)
明年應該可以帶埋阿泥去了!

孖生姐弟

(本圖攝於上月十四日)

唔記得何時某人話過阿泥和柔柔幾似樣,泥爸起初也不以為意。但係睇睇下又確係有幾分似孖生姐弟喎,除了阿泥個頭大個咗少少。:P

泥媽,如果真係有如此可愛的女兒又唔錯啊!呵?

上樓記後篇

經過個多月的等候,泥爸終於在剛過去的週末等齊傢俱了。







可惜都係擺到得個亂字,如果泥媽肯幫幫手收拾下就好了!

(謹將上樓記三篇獻給泥爸名牌樓盤乾收銀暨地盤之友舊同事–魚姐和Dee哥,他們一直很關心泥爸的紅A生活呢!):P

上篇中篇在這裡)

Mom's Series - Introduction

Thanks God, I could be a mom !
It’s really a blessing - a precious gift and experience to me.
It’s full of joy and excitement, though sometimes seasoned with tiredness and frustration.

It all started in 2003, just after SARS.
While people still have no confident in the economy and even the future, we had decided to have our first baby.
We prayed, and God’s peace was with us.

Thanks God !
Only a few months later, we had the heritage from the Lord !

詩篇 127:3 兒女是耶和華所賜的產業;所懷的胎是他所給的賞賜。

We were blessed to have Sai Sai arrived in Apr 2004 !

When Sai Sai was two, we prayed again for our second baby.
It was 2006, economy had improved and people had less worries.
We know that God has His plan and time-table for us.
Again, God’s peace was with us.

Thanks God !
Again, only a few months later, we had another heritage from the Lord !

In May 2007, JosB arrived at Lam’s family !

I would like to praise our Lord.
Thank Him for giving us the chance to be parents, and having two healthy and lovely boys.
Undoubtedly, it’s all His love and grace.

Hazel's Birthday Party

今天是泥爸舊火車地盤工友,劉華兄愛女Hazel的生日派對。

泥氏一家當然頂力支持,尤其是派對地點係小朋友們無法抗拒的–My Gym。

阿泥年紀尚少,行行企企咁。泥哥就開心到唔識形容,不斷地追趕跑跳碰。不過這野孩子唔合群的性格真係要諗諗怎樣去改善一下。

是日場面十分浩大,泥爸影完先發覺唔見了壽星女添(請留意中間的女孩子頭飾):P醒目的泥爸當然找緊機會讓孩子和漂亮的Hazel合照啦。

鋼琴演奏會

時間必須追索到08年的平安夜泥氏母系聚餐,餐後唔記得誰人提議叫小朋友們演練一下琴技給遠道回來的安舅父聽聽。主場的添美表哥打頭陣,有板有眼啊!

無琴譜下孩子背了兩首小曲出來,當然唔少得至愛嘅Twinkle, twinkle, little star啦。聽在泥爸耳裡,滿分了。

我地當然唔會放過高手安舅父,泥婆婆重特別點奏"念親恩"添!

最估佢唔到嘅係......


泥B先係高手中嘅高手:P

ICC & 2IFC

唔係泥媽提醒都唔記得應承了孩子呢件緊要事添,果然係超級秘書:P

其實呢類咁嘅超高層建築唔需要驚動紅A之友,網上資料已很足夠!

International Commerce Centre(ICC)環球貿易廣場於2010年落成後將會是香港最高的建築物,也是暫時全球第三高建築:-
樓高:484米
樓層:118層

至於2 International Finance Centre (2IFC)國際金融中心二期是香港已建成的最高建築物:-
樓高:415.8米
樓層:88層

至於圖中的港威大廈起唔起就要問下班森兄了。

如果大家好似泥爸咁對摩天大樓有異乎尋常的興趣可到呢到睇下–摩天漢世界

I love ICC

A few months ago, MudBa conducted a general knowledge lesson.
- This is ICC. ICC stands for International Commerce Centre. It is the tallest building in Hong Kong, which is at Kowloon side. It’s not yet completed.
- That is IFC. IFC stands for International Finance Centre. It is the second tallest building in Hong Kong, which is at Hong Kong island.

Since then, whenever Sai Sai sees these two buildings, he will be very excited.
“Look, I see IFC !”
“That is ICC. See, it’s not yet completed.”
“Oh, I see ICC and IFC !”
“ICC is so tall ….”

Last Sun, MudMa finally get a chance to take a photo of Sai Sai with ICC :P
JosB wanted to join as well.
However, it seems that he’s more interested in ICC, rather than photo taking …





“Baba, how tall is ICC ?” Sai Sai said.
“xxx meters high.” MudBa replied.
“How many floors are there ?” asked Sai Sai.
“….”

Yes, MudBa still owes Sai Sai an answer ….
Being part of Red-A company, MudBa should get it ready :P

My First Day !

10 Jan, 2009 is a big day for JosB – his first school day !
Just like his big brother, he goes to Anfield’s Sat playgroup.
Sai Sai attended when he was 2, but JosB is not yet 2 now.
Teacher Meena is JosB’s teacher, but she had not taught Sai Sai before.

It was a very cold day, only 8 degree in the morning.
The worst was that MudBa had to go to work.
So, MudMa had to carry JosB and rush for the class …
And as expected, we were late … lucky that it’s only 5 min :P

When we entered the classroom, JosB wanted to go out !
Fortunately, he didn’t cry ..
Soon, he started to play the lego car by himself :)
And we met Dep Dep as well ! Glad to have friend in the same class, yeah !

“I remember that I saw you’re pregnant.” Teacher Meena said.
“oh, yes ! It’s him !” MudMa replied.
“woh, so fast ! I can’t believe it …” Teacher Meena was surprised.
Yes, time really flies … JosB is coming to two soon ….

As usual, JosB didn’t talk much.
And as expected, he didn’t show much interest to the songs …
He just kept on pointing to the pictures on the wall – his favorite dog, giraffe, pig, duck ...

Art time, this is the first artwork by JosB – fried rice !





It should be by MudMa and assisted by JosB …ha..ha..

Playtime, though no photo is allowed, MudMa took a chance to capture this.
Sorry, teacher Meena … :P




Two hours has gone quickly, and that’s the first day !
Dep Dep gave JosB a goodbye kiss as well …

That’s all for JosB, but not for MudMa.
She had to bring JosB to pick big brother who is attending class in another school nearby.
After bringing monkey & pig home, she had to go to the wet market.

Yes, mom is busy …

Tears in Heaven

最近為自己的CD收藏做電腦存檔。

除了很多老舊的回憶伴隨這些舊CD浮現外,在重溫這些舊歌時,經過歲月洗禮的我有了更深的體會。

Eric Clapton的〈 Tears in Heaven 〉是我很喜歡的作品,尤其是Unplugged版的結他聲!少年不識愁滋味的我雖然有受感動,著眼點始終還是他的音樂和技巧.....

但今天再聽,已是兩子之父的我完全可感受到他寫這歌時的傷痛.....

(Eric Clapton四十多歲時老來得子,但於九一年三月,才四歲大的Conor,從紐約數十層高的公寓意外摔下身亡。他喪子之後,幾近崩潰、為悼念愛子而寫下這〈 Tears in Heaven 〉,藉歌聲與結他聲,道出他對Conor的思念。)


Would you know my name
If I saw you in heaven?
Would it be the same
If I saw you in heaven?

I must be strong
And carry on,
'Cause I know I don't belong
Here in heaven.

Would you hold my hand
If I saw you in heaven?
Would you help me stand
If I saw you in heaven?

I'll find my way
Through night and day,
'Cause I know I just can't stay
Here in heaven.

Time can bring you down,
Time can bend your knees.
Time can break your heart,
Have you begging please, begging please.

Beyond the door,
There's peace I'm sure,
And I know there'll be no more
Tears in heaven.

Would you know my name
If I saw you in heaven?
Would it be the same
If I saw you in heaven?

I must be strong
And carry on,
'Cause I know I don't belong
Here in heaven.

by Eric Clapton and Will Jennings

一I三J於馬灣.....公園

剛過去的星期天終於與2Js族去了馬灣公園(之前本來打算和前鐵路工友去,但泥氏放了人家鴿子,鎖你!)。風和日麗的天氣真係好正,孩子們也玩得勁開心,尤其是泥哥和他的好友卓琳!

額外花絮,當然係遺傳了泥爸為食特性嘅泥B啦,請留意特別客串嘅可愛小J:P

Goodbye good boy calendar

Good boy calendar is a concept implemented by MudBa when JosB was born.
He bought it while JosB and MudMa were still in the hospital.
This is a positive re-inforcement to Sai Sai, to encourage him to be a good model for JosB. (And to ensure baby JosB will be safe ..ha..ha…)


The golden rule is, Sai Sai has to behave – be a good boy every day.
And the game plan is :-
1. Sai Sai will get a ‘good boy card’ if he is a good boy on that day.
2. The ‘good boy card’ will be put in the corresponding date in the good boy calendar.
3. At the beginning of each month, we will check the total number of good boy card that Sai Sai got in the previous month.
4. Good boy card everyday = a big present.
5. Good boy card more than 20 = a medium present.
6. Good boy card more than 10 = a small present.
7. Good boy card less than 10 = no present.

Since May 07, we have this exercise everyday ….
As expected and not surprisingly, Sai Sai was very happy whenever he got a good boy card, and he cared about it very much.
He will be disappointed if he could not get one, and will ask for the reason.
Towards the end of the month, he loves to count the total and if it’s almost 20, he will really behave better on the following days.
And of course, he looked forward to the present at every beginning of the month :)

As you may foresee, when time goes by, he does not that care …

Maybe presents are not that attractive (MudBaMa do not want to give him expensive present) …
Maybe he has already got more than enough toys/cars to play …
Maybe he finally feels that it’s a kind of restriction to him (cannot do this, cannot do that) …

So, MudBaMa both feel that it’s time to say goodbye to good boy calendar in 2009.
Thanks for the 19 months long service to the Mud’s family !

-----------------------------------------------------
Q&A
1. What is a good boy card ?
- It is a small square color paper (usually for making/folding animals)

2. Is there anything on the good boy card ?
- MudBaMa will write something on the back (white side), usually for something happened or wanted to remember on that day. i.e. we went to Disneyland today, today is the first day of K2, etc.

3. Where are all the good boy cards now ?
- We did not throw them. MudBa kept them all safely in a ‘treasure box’ as a memory for all of us :)

4. How’s the performance of Sai Sai in the 19 months ?
- So far so good, he has never got less than 10, but never got a card everyday. Haha….

5. Did he miss the good boy calendar ?
- Of course not ! He did not even care about any good boy present – did not ask for it in Dec :P

No … No ? No !

This is one of the words that JosB could pronounce quite well.

“Do you want congee ?” – No ….
“Do you want to sleep ?” – No ….
“Do you want Baba to make you sleep ?” – No …
“Do you want to sleep in Mama’s bed ?” – No ….

How about “Yes” ?

“Do you want to watch TV ?” – nodded …
“Do you want biscuit ?” – nodded …
“Do you want milk ?” – nodded …
“Do you want to go out ?” – nodded and nodded …
“Can you say yes ?” – nodded ?!

A Big Day

5 Jan 2009 is a big day for Sai Sai.
This is the first day of Kentville school in 2009, after the two weeks long holiday.
Sai Sai keeps counting how many days left …
He was so happy and excited on the day before.

On the big day at dinner’s time …

“I meet all my friends and teachers …”
“I went out and played in the playground …”
“I got a new homework book for English. Look ! so nice …”
“I write from 1 to 30 …”
“I learned one new Chinese word – "右" ..”
“I wrote ‘one’ today …”

Good boy, I hope you will enjoy your school life forever :)

兩次全家福

最近泥氏分別和父母系影了兩輯全家福, 父系是傳統影樓feel,水準算可接受。

母系卻是自由自在無組織作品,效果卻是出奇地理想!

有時候真係無plan勝有plan!

多生齒

"多生齒是發育異常的牙齒,多半因遺傳而產生.......???"

泥哥的其中一隻門牙好像刨刀刀片般飛了出來,起初泥爸媽以為他貪玩用舌頭頂出來的,還去責備他呢。

直到最近覺得情況越來越嚴重,泥爸還發現有另一隻牙齒在門牙背後長出來,愚昧的泥爸媽才發現事情絕不簡單。

為免孩子將來對牙醫產生恐懼感,泥爸媽緊急地上網搵超級愛心兒童牙齒專科。

感謝主給我們找到微笑牙科愛美麗‧劉醫生,在孩子沒有投訴下(傻豬話唔痛喎!)暫時解決了問題(i.e. 脫下飛出的牙仔)。

不過到他大個些就還有手尾要跟的,到時再算吧!:P

難得過了海,孩子又不能吃熱食,泥爸媽和孩子先到CWB和民吃壽司,再到H記吃雪糕。孩子開心到都乜都唔記得啦!

但泥爸最不解的,點解會係遺傳呢??

元旦海洋公園

今天泥氏和添美一族到海洋公園遊玩。因為買了Year Pass,唔太着急要玩些甚麼,縱使遊人眾多,避開多人之地下也玩得相當開心,唔使點排隊。

唔使問孩子們玩得最開心,尤其是泥B,這應該是他首次到Ocean Park。在海洋館見到那些龐然大"魚"時更唔想走添!
