第一首歌

最近雯嘉开始哼哼学唱歌了。第一首学会哼的歌竟是我在她还在妈妈肚里常为她哼的“自己跌倒自己爬“。
他也爱其他如“妈妈好“ 的歌,但学起来竟没有“自己跌倒自己爬“ 般得心应手。
我不得不认为那是所谓的“胎教”的功效。
记得雯嘉刚出世的头几天,爱哭闹得很。我也常用这首歌来哄她。总觉得这首歌特别能安抚她,听了一会儿哭闹也缓和下来。我想这该是因为在胎里常听这首歌的缘故吧。
小孩的吸收能力是惊人的,我不得不相这一点。唱歌也好,学说话也好,小瓜总会为我带来惊喜。她似乎不需要刻意去灌输,其实分分钟都在学习。所以父母们,千万要留意你们的举止及言行。你的一举一动,都有可能影响着子女将来的人格朔造。

PM's 11 people friendly measures

Yesterday marks the 100th day of our new leadership under YAB Dato Seri Najib.
I am particularly interested on the measure about 20% discount given on Touch & Go card if frequency of usage is 80 times and above.
I am just wondering how many of us the road users will be benefited from this new measure? Practically we have to pay 4 tolls a day to entitle for the discount taking an average working day of 20 days a month.
I personally pay 3 tolls a day amounting to RM 6. Some of my friends pay less number of toll but with bigger amount, totalling up to RM 8 - RM10 per day.
I am happy that it may eventually benefit some road users and subsequently reducing the burden of this group of people. But hang on, in fact not all of them will be benefiting from this new measure. Bear in mind that you have to top up your tounch and go at selected plus & Touch & go offices. How about those used to top up at Maybank and T&G kiosk just like myself? Well, they just have to wait for another half year or so for this to be fully implemented.
From sincerity point of view, I think very little can be felt as government should have reduced the toll rate right away by resigning all the "unfair" toll concessionaires agreements.
To put it precisely, it is still way to go from been satisfactory. What is the point of giving discount without removing the fear of public that toll rates are going to be increased from time to time in accoordance to the agreement, or else.... or else you know what is going to happen. All are coming from tax payer's pocket anyway.

想妳,是生活的一部分。
念妳,是不须质疑的。
疼你,但不须溺爱妳。
好多次,因妳的倔强而气妳恼妳。
但那也只是瞬间的反应。
再怎么坏怎么皮,
妳还是爸妈心中的宝。
