My Great Grandpa 我的曾祖父

2008-12-09T10:33:00.000-08:00

這張1912年加拿大政府簽發的"人頭稅"文件是我的曾祖父花了500加元拿取的.
This is the "Head Tax" document issued by the Canadian government in 1912. My great grandpa paid CAN$500 for it.

This is the only picture that we can locate which shows my great grandpa as a young adult. He actually came to Canada in 1910 or 1911 - before the establishment of Republic of China - that means it was in the last years of the Qing Dynasty!

This document also shows several interesting things:
1. It says "Dominion of Canada".
2. It lists my great grandpa as a native of "Chee Kai, Sun Wui" (新會縣, 慈溪鄉), with no mention of Guangdong (the province). It's very interesting.

Though none of my (direct) family ended up in Canada, his stay in Canada made a great impact on my grandpa's family.

This is history.

無四肢鬥士 - 轉自香港明報

2008-11-24T09:28:00.000-08:00

我剛在明報讀到這段新聞, 版權歸香港明報所有。

【明報專訊】「在艱辛的日子堅持面對是很困難的，但如果經常埋怨失去什麼，你便會忘記自己所擁有的。」生於澳洲的力克(Nick Vujicic)雖然先天殘障，沒有雙手，卻可擁抱數以萬計聽眾；沒有雙腳，行蹤卻遍佈24個國家。他昨日在本港出席兩場佈道會，向4萬名觀眾打氣及示範如何沒有手腳也能「跌得低、爬得起」，感動了無數觀眾的心靈。

當觀眾得悉這名25歲的殘障年輕人，原來不但擁有財務規劃及會計兩個大學學位，還懂騎馬、游泳、駕車時，不少人都流露出驚訝神情。在台上的他說話時雙眼充滿神采﹕「若神沒有賜你一個你想要的神蹟，其實是想你成為別人的神蹟。」

力克倒下後，一面用頭頂聖經，一面出盡腰間力氣「彎腰」，再利用僅有的兩隻腳趾，使自己「彈」起來重新站立，他以此向觀眾展示堅強意志是面對困難的最佳方法。

同樣於金融海嘯損手

金融海嘯席捲全球，本港不斷有人投資失利、欠債尋死，擁有自己房地產投資業務的力克，平日也有股票投資，他說﹕「我來港參加佈道會，知道金融海嘯令許多人損失了三四成投資金額，其實我也是！但我不會跟你說『我明白你』一類安慰說話，我只想告訴大家，我怎樣面對難關。」

這場「Give Up Get Up佈道會」是由中國基督教播道會同福堂(教會)與樂苗基金舉辦，遇上困境，力克認為許多人都會想過放棄(Give Up) ，然而他選擇面對(Get Up)，背後的勇氣源自神。

「在8歲的時候，我以為自己不能結婚、不能工作，即使結婚了，甚至連妻子的手都牽不到！」穿上藍色衫、黑色西裝，力克用有限的腿部肌肉挺起身子，面向在場超過2萬名觀眾說，天生的缺陷令他思考很多問題﹕「我一直問神為何我會這樣，是否父母做錯了？還是醫生出錯了？每天也不知道明天會怎樣，原來，在生命裏，最大障礙是源自恐懼。」

學懂欣賞自己可跑可游泳

他漸漸學懂了欣賞自己的身體，即使他人初次見他時感到恐懼，他仍學懂笑面對，更不時戲弄別人。他曾試過在沙灘玩，大腿肌肉陷在沙裏，小女孩誤以為他花了很多時間故意挖沙埋雙腿，表示羨慕，結果他趁小女孩離去時站直身子捉弄她﹕「她立即嚇得大叫！」現場笑聲頓時此起彼落。

他說罷露出左邊一小截大腿肌肉說﹕「看，平日靠這根『小雞槌』，我便可以走、可以跑，甚至可以游水。」雖然他平日以輪椅代步，但仍可靠僅餘的兩根腳趾運動。自出生已知道人生路途崎嶇的他，談及將來時，突然「跌倒」在桌子上，令觀眾嘩然。

俯臥的他，卻隨即抬頭笑說﹕「即使面對難關，信靠上帝，讓我學習笑面對！」然後，他把頭頂桌子上的聖經，許多觀眾都探頭看他，接，力克嘗試用腰力慢慢撐起身子，觀眾以掌聲激勵，數秒後，他在熱烈掌聲中再次站起來，超過2萬名觀眾深受感動，氣氛推至了高潮。

「雖然我未有對象，未有拍拖，但我相信神會為我預備，我雖然不能牽她的手，但要抓住她的心，沒有雙手也可以！祝福大家！」兩個半小時的佈道會臨近尾聲，熱愛擁抱的力克，吸引現場300名觀眾走近台前，向他以深深的擁抱作道別。

花了數秒力氣，天生沒手沒腳的力克終於靠自己重新站起來，感動了全場觀眾。（尹錦恩攝）

Recollection

2008-11-20T22:24:00.000-08:00

Recollection - Edward Chiu

It has been a while.

"All by myself" has become a rarity. I remember this as part of the
lyrics of a pop song. Sometimes when I am alone I am actually
surrounded by "stuff" - random thoughts, bizzaire flashes, noise. It
has become more and more difficult to find real seclusion.

The Prince of Peace Abbey is an interesting place. It is a Catholic
monastery meaning monks live here. It has been quite an experience to
spend time here as a retreatant. I expected that this place would be
complete solemn and quiet. Contrary to my thoughts it is not. Perhaps
it's proximity to a small airport there are times that noisy engines
would cause disruptions. Some retreatants would converse fairly loudly
- in Korean! I was a bit shocked to see a lot of Asian faces. "Welcome
to California!"

I was shown around by a lady after getting here at around 9:30am. She
was friendly and courteous. The monastery is located on a hundred plus
acre site! Later on I put stuff in my room. I was told that my room
and the adjacent ones are newly built. The room is clean.

I started my adventure shortly afterwards and I went to the library.
It does not have a huge collection.

I attended a Mass (Eucharist) at 11am. As I am not a Catholic I felt
a bit out of place. I did not follow all the standing and kneeling. Of
course I did not participate in the Holy Communion. In fact, after
attending the Mass in the morning I thought I would not be going to
more services because I did not feel the spirit and joy at all.

After the Mass I went to the cafeteria where the snacks, coffee, tea,
cereals, etc are served 24 hours. The meals however are served at
fixed hours - 7:30am, 12noon, and 6pm. Each meal starts with prayers.
At lunch they served green salads, lettuce, tomato, two flavors of
cheese, turkey, and bread. People are welcomed to have seconds.

After lunch I went for a walk. I strolled through the cemetery. The
lady who gave me a tour told me that the monks spend their entire life
here and when they die they are buried right here. It is a garden
setting. They do not have tombstones. Instead each buried has an
erected wooden cross with the name, year born, and year passed away -
and no more information. Nothing about their hometown or what they
did. I was a bit disappointed. But now I think it makes sense because
each of them followed the calling and disposed of their past long time
ago. So the hometown is a non-issue. As for what they did, they all
committed their lives to Christ. Writing them out would seem to be
redundant and a bit silly.

There is a "prayer walk" next to the cemetery. It is actually a huge
back country setting with unpaved walkway and trees. I tried to pray
to God while walking. I asked God for directions in my life. I then
started to confess my sins. I recollected the 37 years of my life and
how God guided me for each major milestone. I realized that I am not a
lovable person. As I recalled how God love me without reservations, I
broke down in tears. I could not stop crying. I am still not sure if
these are tears of joy or guilt. But I loved it. It was like a lovely
father embracing me. It was the Holy Spirit that woke up my soul. It
caused thunders within my mind and the tears were like heavy rain
drops. I was not fast enough to wipe them off. I prayed for
forgiveness. I prayed for His guidance so that I could be a better
person - one with God's image, shepard's heart, and full of love and
patience. I find myself too self-centered. I want to love God more. I
want to love my wife more. I want to love my kid more. I want to love
my parents and sisters more. I want to love my extended family members
more. I want to love my brothers and sisters more. I want to love my
friends more. I want to love people more! How can I serve the Lord if
I don't love? How can I serve if I don't have patience? How can I? I
suddenly found myself not worthy to serve. But I know He wants me to.

I wanted to look up to see my path ahead but could not. Perhaps due to
the tears or the bright sun, I had to put my head down. I saw
footprints on the trail. It seems that God wants me to follow Him step
by step. Though the path is unclear, I just need to follow his
footprints as the path would eventually lead me to His destination.

The walk was a powerful experience.

I went back to my room afterwards.

After dinner and a long walk, I decided to attend the Compline
(another Mass or service). I bowed my head down and tried to listen to
the organ music and chanting. I purposefully did not follow any
rituals. I sometimes even closed my eyes. That experience overall was
better. It was soothing and relaxing.

Today's experience was more than "all by myself". Indeed I had a walk
with God. I look forward to more walks like this.

Google I/O San Francisco Part 3

2008-05-29T00:12:00.000-07:00

After dinner we headed back to Moscone West. The room where the keynote address took place was transformed to a huge "multi-purpose" room. There was a DJ playing rock (?) music. Spotlight everywhere. Some people were dancing - no, wait, they were just jerking their bodies following the rhythms. Bottomless alcohol was served - full bar selection: red & white wines, domestic, foreign, and microbrewery beers. Full buffet with cooked-to-order pasta, sushi, chow-mein in Chinese takeout boxes, and many others.

Besides music, food, and drinks, there were many free arcade video games, Nintendo Wii games, pool tables, air-hockey tables, etc.

A few random thoughts:

1. This is truly a 'geeks' conference. Have you ever been to a disco where laptops are popped open and back-packs are still on shoulders?

2. We found out why we have to pay $300 a pop to sign up for this conference.

3. I really enjoyed the arcade games!

4. Stephen and Kevin left early. I stayed longer. I had a glass of red wine and an MGD. At one point I was just sitting on a sofa with a beer in my hand enjoying the music and people watching. (Well, with 95 to 5 ratio, there wasn't much "people watching").

I'm back in my hotel room now and again watching the Cantonese news on the LCD HDTV.

Google I/O San Francisco Part 2

2008-05-28T23:23:00.000-07:00

Don't let this pic fool you. In less than 10 minutes this huge room was packed and people sat on the floor. Anyway, we were already sitting comfortably on this "exit row" after having a pretty good breakfast provided by the conference.

We went through the keynote address together. It was a good overview of what Google has been busy with. A highlight was the demo of Android: http://www.engadget.com/2008/05/28/google-demos-the-htc-dream-at-i-o-conference/. (I later found out the phone was HTC Dream. Check out the URL). Everybody said "ah!" when the guy was showing off the "compass" mode with Google Maps StreetView. In a nutshell, the orientation of StreetView changes when the phone is moved around. COOL!

Kevin and I went on to a session on AJAX. It was a good overview. Nothing too exciting. Stephen attended a session on Maps. After lunch, we went to a Code Lab on Google Maps API. Pretty cool.

A few random thoughts:

1. I expected a lot more Microsoft-bashing but the Google folks were quite nice. There were still a few funny Microsoft references. In an attempt to make a case that user-experience is more important than the inner-workings of software, after giving an example on the lack-of-attention on the user-experience, they pulled up a slide showing Windows Vista as an example that went "too far" on user-experience.

2. Attendee Male-to-female ratio: 95 to 5 according to Eduardo Chewy International.

3. I haven't seen so many iPhone in a convention before.

4. I haven't seen so many Macs in a convention before.

5. Kevin wasn't sure why we had to pay $300 a pop for this conference. (We found out later why).

6. There are definitely pros and cons for Open Source. Pleasantly surprised to see so many vendors out there. Microsoft has a lot of competition.

7. Like Microsoft, Google is a giant. Unlike Microsoft, Google is liked by everybody. Why? Because consumers don't write checks directly to Google? Or because Google acts a big brother/moderator promoting collaboration from vendors?

8. Google brought bean-bag chairs, pool-tables, air-hockey tables, M&M's, unlimited snacks and drinks, and many more to the common areas. Google really has a friendly culture.

9. Breakfast: 9 points (on the scale of 1 to 10, 10 being the best). Lunch: 4(!!). The burgers were cold. Many lunch choices however.

10. It's cool to attend a non-Microsoft event. Helps me think more.

After 5pm:

Since we wanted to have a breath of fresh air after a day long conference, we trekked to Chinatown for dinner. We took Stockton which was mostly an uphill walk from Market Street. We needed to turn into a tunnel which was littered with trash and urine smell. So we knew we were close to Chinatown(!). Actually we knew where we were because (a) I had checked Google Maps on my phone with GPS before, and (b) some of us have been to San Francisco Chinatown numerous times before.

I picked this Chinese restaurant because this was the one I frequented when I was still attending college in Reno (we on average drove to San Francisco Chinatown about once a month!). The meal was delicious. We ordered a $300-a-bottle wine, lobsters... JUST KIDDING! We did order a plate of "abalone-shaped" mushrooms with vegetables in season. Yum! (Just for the kick of it, we ordered a dish of "fish heads".)

On the way back we visited an Apple store. We checked out the Macbook Air. Really thin! Stephen and I checked out a few Macs too. I LOVE the 20+ inch Macs! Kevin gave us a lecture on Macs as well.

We decided to head back to Moscone West and check out what Google had planned for us.

Google I/O San Francisco Part 1

2008-05-28T22:21:00.000-07:00

Stephen, Kevin and I finally arrived at the Moscone West in San Francisco for the 2-day Google I/O conference. Look at the long lines! All of the geeks (including us) gathered outside as 'door-busters' slightly before 8am on 5/28/2008 Wednesday.

According to the keynote speaker, they did not stop the on-site registration. The effect? The whole place was packed! Some people needed to sit on the floor.

A recap of the trip on-route from San Diego last night:

It was a wonderful journey. Virgin America is simply excellent. The plane was clean and the seats were great looking. Their top-notched touch screen multi-media system (named "RED") provided *live* TV (such as CNN), movies, radios, and if you're really that hungry, you could order your meal and swipe your credit card. (The non-alcholic drinks were free.) This system reminded the touch-screen system project that we (now defunct MassHysteria/EchoLink) did as a sub-contractor for Intel Corp in Madison Square Garden, New York. It was a very challenging project. Good times? Perhaps. Because I got to see a lot of "free" New York Knicks (NBA) and NHL games. (Ok, there were WNBA games as well, but who cares?)

The multi-media system in the Virgin America flight had a few good surprises. There were taped TV programs from Hong Kong (TVB) which occupied Kevin's and my time. I saw 2 Cantonese game shows. One of which was similar to the "Iron Chef" but featuring female artists instead of real chefs. It was fun to watch. (Yes, I can easily be entertained!) But at one point I wasn't sure if I should change my channel when the "chefs" were chopping up fish heads. I knew the gals sitting next to me had funny looks on them.

The map system was actually Google Maps. They tuned it so that you couldn't zoom in at the street level.

After deplaning I realized that we were at the SFO International terminal. Huge 747s were "parking" next to us. We walked to the BART station which wasn't too far away. The trip to downtown San Francisco took us half an hour and $5.35 each. We got off the train at Powell station and the Marriott was only a few downtown blocks away. The lobby layout of this hotel, again, reminded my countless number of nights I spent at the Marriott in New York when I was on the Madison Square Garden project. I believe both hotels were built on the same blueprint.

Soon after I got into my room, I realized that the Internet connection was NOT free! It's $12.95 a day - from noon to noon. What a rip-off. Boo! Fortunately I have my AT&T Tilt which acted as the 3G modem for my laptop - and I was still able to make phone calls. NEAT! Kevin wasn't that lucky because he needed Wi-Fi. Thanks to Kevin, he went back to Walgreens and picked up a huge bottle water for me! He said he picked up sanitary items but I am still not sure what.

I didn't go to bed until slightly after 1am because there was a huge LCD HDTV in my room. I was able to catch the late-night news in Cantonese (KTSF 26). Cool!

夜"訓"

2008-05-02T09:54:00.000-07:00

夜晚看中文電視, 竟然是在直播香港奧運火炬傳送接力, 不其然地便坐下看, 見證了祖國和香港一個歷史盛事. 在過程中, 雖然夾雜了政治和商業味道, 但始終這件事是令中國人振奮的.

上回聖火到港, 是1964年的事, 那時是香港漸漸起飛的年代, 40多年後的香港是那麼的不同. 記得97年前香港人追求居英權, 怒罵那些"左仔", 把"文匯報"讀成"文匪報", 而現在在公仔箱看到的, 是一片紅海. 亦記得在中學畢業禮中"奏"英國國歌(其實是播帶)時,台下沒有一人識唱,也可能是沒有人願意唱,但在火炬傳送接力閉幕禮中, 銀樂隊奏出"義勇軍進行曲"時, 不少人都會唱.

轉轉話題. 不知何時殺出"港大女生陳巧文展示雪山獅子旗". 雖然我對於西藏事件有一個看法, 但若果有不同意的, 尤其是出自一個中國(香港)人, 我當然有興趣查個究竟. 但似乎陳巧文在很多方面都有不足, 當被問到她是否支持西藏獨立時, 她的回答是"我其實不是完全支持藏獨, 但每一個民族都有他們的自主權, 所以要站出來為他們說話" 試問陳巧文的立場是甚麼? 時事評論員李怡在他的Blog(http://www.xanga.com/plutobreakfast/654614123/item.html)上說陳巧文是香港大學生中的小數, 她的敢言"為大學生挽回不少面子"和"值得鼓勵與珍惜". 若果陳巧文真的"有備而來", 做足功課, 立場清晰, 我會認同李怡的講法. 我只恐怕她成為建制派所謂"為反對而反對"的一分子.

很久沒有Blogging...

2008-05-01T12:00:00.000-07:00

原來已經有差不多一年時間沒有寫blog. 可能是因為Vivian把相片放在另一個website, 所以便沒有更新這裡.

貼上2張相片, 是我在年初到墨西哥短宣時拍下的. 我們已經去過數次, 而明天晚上我們會再去, 主要是接觸當地中國移民, 了解他們的需要.

16-Month Check Up and more pics...

2007-05-14T16:16:00.000-07:00

Bennett turned 16-month-old last Saturday, and he had a medical check-up this morning. He weighs 19 pounds 10 ounces, and he's 30.25 inches long. The circumference of his head is 18 inches. So, he's still tiny. Humm... he cried very hard this morning when he had three shots of vaccine. Poor baby.

Bennett started to walk on February 4th and now he could run! It's amazing to watch him grow so fast - he babbles a lot while he plays with his toys, he tries to imitate the sounds of car, train, dog, bird.... He'd call "Mama" intentionally sometimes, and he's still learning how to say "Papa". He likes pretending to be a plane and "fly"(run) around. He also likes to play with telephone, remote controls and everything he's interested. However, he's less patient and he does not listen to mom and dad when they tell him not to do something dangerous. Oh well...

This little boy has been having table food with mom and dad. He still loves vegetables and fruits. However, he's been having less milk and he likes to keep the food in his month. Mom has stopped bottle-feeding him. Now that he uses a cup with a straw to drink water and milk most of the time.

The following are the links to view the pics of the past few months:

Celebrate the birthday of Parents (Bennett's Grandparents)

2007-05-03T17:53:00.000-07:00

On the weekend of 4/28 to 4/30/2007, we drove up to Las Vegas and celebrated the birthday of our parents. We picked up May from a park-and-ride along Interstate-15. Though we were tied up in traffic on the way back home, it was a great trip indeed.

2007-02-02T12:29:00.000-08:00

Bennett turned one in this month. Though he's not walking yet, he did practise walking more by pushing the walker. He also made more sounds by moving his tongue. It's so funny to listen to the sounds. Mom stopped breastfeeding him and started giving him whole milk. He liked to have it warm instead of cold. In the meantime, mom let him try more food, like pancakes, waffles, white bread, blueberries, tangerines, cheese, ice-cream, cake... see if he could gain some weight in the next doctor's appointment.

Bennett's first birthday

2007-01-25T15:31:00.000-08:00

It's Bennett first birthday on 1/12/2007. He had an eventful day.

He had a medical appointment early in the morning. Dr. Narayan said he's a "petite baby" since he weighed only 17 lbs 9 oz (5 percentile) and his height was 27.5 inches (below 5 percentile). A recheck on his weight and height was scheduled in two months. Bennett was so brave that he did not cry when he had a shot of combined vaccine.

Later, we joined the 1-2 years old toddler class to the San Diego Zoo. It was so windy and cold. Bennett had a nap more than one hour which was a bit unusal. Maybe he just let mom and dad had some time together. Afterall, it's also their 4th anniversary. Bennett had his lunch after he got up. Glad that we had some time to visit the panda and also the hippo. The hippo was so huge. He was showing off by swimming back and forth.

In the evening, we had fellowship meeting. There was a cake cutting for this little boy. Humm... it's yum to taste his first bite of the strawberry ice-cream cake. He just could not stop eating it. Good choice, mom and dad!

Thanks also to all the aunties and uncles for the thoughtful gifts (Waiting, Cheung Cheung, Sheirman, Allen + Jasper, Jane, Victor, Paul, June + Alex, Canace, Eddie + Adrienne, Ken, Lily, Peter, Helen, Tenny).

What a wonderful first birthday!

站起來

2007-01-08T22:47:00.000-08:00

必安快要一歲了!
他爬行得很快,
也會扶著傢俬行,
爸媽這陣子常討論他甚麼時候開始自己行走。

我想必安聽到了，
他示範第一式－－站起來！

媽被他這一招嚇呆了。

難度動作＋古怪表情

2007-01-02T17:06:00.000-08:00

隨著年月的成長，

必安多了一些古靈精怪的表情和動作，

繼咬腳趾、咪眼等動作後，

再獻新猶－－豬嘴和高難度伸展動作．

拉斯維加斯－－冬至＋聖誕

2007-01-02T15:08:00.000-08:00

２００６年１２月２２日是冬至，
凌晨五點驅車往拉斯維加斯去，
是必安第二次坐長途車．

感謝神，
沿途交通暢通（上山一段路下雪），
必安亦算合作（只在最後一小時在車上扭計），
我們並沒有在中途休息，
開了近五小時便到達爺爺和嫲嫲的家，
Ｍａｙ姑姐也從北加州回來做冬．

驚喜！
爺爺買了一個大蛋糕為必安和Ｍａｙ姑姐預早慶祝生日，
必安還假裝切蛋糕呢！
嫲嫲特地為必安煮粥及豐富的食物，
好一頓美味的午餐．

下午全人類午睡，
近黃昏去了Ｂｅｌｌａｇｉｏ看聖誕花園，
必安很開心呢！

晚上待必安睡了，
我們在聊天，
談談大家的近況，
好溫馨的一斷時間．

第二天起來，
媽替必安穿上慧婷姨姨和丈丈送的Ｄｏｗｎ背心，
在後園推著學行車在練習，
媽說他好像上街市買菜，
爸說他在推點心車，
很攪笑！
原來，爺爺、嫲嫲和Ｍａｙ姑姐一早去出買玩具給必安－－
Ｔｈｏｍａｓ歌書和三合一車仔！
這孩子多幸福，
有那麼多親友疼愛！

爺爺、嫲嫲和Ｍａｙ姑姐，謝謝你們！

中港之旅

2006-11-28T22:07:00.000-08:00

這個月的時間過得特別快，在月初，小必安第一次乘坐長途飛機往香港和中國探親，這次「長征」雖然是非常辛苦，但在神的恩典下，一切總算順利．

整個旅程著實有很多難忘的經歷──在十多個小時的航程中，小必安都有嘗試在ｂａｓｓｉｎｅｔ睡，但要跟媽媽博鬥一斷時間；到了香港很快便適應；跟親戚朋友見面；乘坐不少的交通工具，如天星渡輪、西鐵、東鐵、地鐵、巴士、的士、校巴等等；去過香港、九龍和新界；跟公公、婆婆、蚊姨和尚然哥哥往迪士尼樂園；跟慧婷姨姨和丈丈同住，有玩具和魚魚玩；跟舅父仔糾纏一小時；跟爸媽乘船回鄉下新會探望太嫲．．．此外，也有很多第一次──四點式爬行；爬行時可以跨越障礙物；奶粉份量突破八安士；揮手示意再見；睡前自言自語；睡覺時「發開口夢」；前臂給咬瘀．．．

在此要多謝公公、婆婆（管食及交通）、慧婷姨姨和丈丈（包食包住，更充當經理人、攝影師、影音製作和採購）、舅父仔和舅母仔（陪玩及媬姆）、Ｌｉｕ姨姨（丫環及媬姆）、蚊姨和餅叔叔（包Ｄｉｓｎｅｙｌａｎｄ和借出嬰兒用品）、爺爺、嫲嫲和炳叔公悉心安排回鄉事宜，還有一眾親戚朋友的熱情款待、關心和禮物．同時也要向那些因為時間未能配合而沒有機回見面的ｕｎｃｌｅｓ、ａｕｎｔｉｅｓ、哥哥、姐姐說聲抱歉，希望下一次去香港可以逗留長一點的時間跟大家見見面．

最後，跟大家分享這次旅程的照片：

萬丈高樓從地起

2006-10-23T22:12:00.000-07:00

「起樓」是需要細心規劃和打地基，
可能要花上好幾年的時間．
不過，
小必安「起樓」就只要把頭撞到地上，
不消十分鐘．

今天，
小必安就起了他九個月十一日以來的「第一棟樓」．

話說下午媽媽好不容易才弄他睡著，
並把他放在爸爸媽媽的床上睡，
待媽媽跟婆婆通完長途電話後跟他一起休息．
豈料突然聽見「ｏ彭」一聲，
接著是小必安「哇」的一聲，
媽已心理有數，
立刻從書房奔跑到主人房，
只見小必安四腳朝天，
不停地在哭．
媽連忙把他抱起來，
他好像好累要睡覺，
媽不停地叫他醒來，
不要再睡．

他很快便停止哭泣，
媽不知所措，
打電話給爸爸，
幸得他的安慰，
心情平伏了一點，
才發現小必安的左前額腫了，
來一幕「案件重演」，
相信他在醒來後爬到床邊，
失足並以「插水式」跌在地上，
感謝神，
他的身體其他部份沒有受傷．

媽媽替他「轆」過雞蛋後好像沒有那麼腫，
他爬得、玩得和食得，
應該沒大礙吧！

以後必須要把他放回床仔睡．

這案件需要讀者提供以下資料：
（一）究竟用來「轆」的雞蛋需不需要連蛋殼一起「轆」呢？
（二）「轆」過的雞蛋會變黑嗎？
（三）而用來「轆」過的雞蛋可否用來吃？

南瓜頭磁貼

2006-10-23T22:06:00.000-07:00

今早的嬰兒班又有手工，
是南瓜磁貼．
老師替每個ＢＢ預備了照片，
小必安的一幅就好像一個南瓜頭，
很有趣啊！

南瓜屁股

2006-10-16T21:21:00.000-07:00

圖中的是南瓜，
你看到嗎？
除此之外，
有別的東西嗎？

屁股．
是小必安的屁股．

今早的Ｉｎｆａｎｔ　Ｃｌａｓｓ有「勞作」，
是＂Ｂｕｍ　Ｐｒｉｎｔｓ＂，
即「屁股印」．
十月份的美國，
南瓜是主角．
於是，
全班ＢＢ被脫下尿片，
一個又一個的屁股仔在橙色的油彩上印一印，
再在白紙上印出一個又一個的屁股形狀，
待媽媽們在上面「畫龍點精」後，
「南瓜」便出現了！

南瓜屁股？
屁股南瓜？
是誰的鬼主意？

勇敢的小必安

2006-10-14T01:50:00.000-07:00

昨天是小必安九個月大的身體檢查：
體重：１６磅；
身高：２７．５吋；
頭圍：１７吋，
各方面均低於平均．

由於要到香港和中國，
爸媽要求打流感針，
連同另外兩支防疫針，
一共三針，
小必安只是哭了一點點，
很勇敢呢！

同樣是為了配合香港和中國的行程，
昨天開始讓他在下午四點的一餐轉吃奶粉，
必安沒有忘記如何用奶樽啊！
今天更是自己拿著吃呢！
十分鐘吃了六安半．

Bennett tackles a briefcase! 小必安與公事包

2006-10-12T11:05:00.000-07:00

Bennett is 9 months old today! Before his doctor's appointment Bennett was playing in his room. Look at the picture, he was tackling his daddy's briefcase!

小必安今天九個月大, 感謝神他一天一天的健康地成長 (他已有16磅了!)
圖: 小必安努力地去移動爸爸的公事包,雖然不成功,但他十分的滿足!

九個月了！

2006-10-11T21:49:00.000-07:00

經過在夜間不斷站立的練習，
以及在床上跌倒碰撞過無數次，
小必安的手腳動作配合得更自然，
雖然他仍未能站著行走，
但他能夠靠著一些家具自行站起來，
再坐下來，
來回十次八次，
揮灑自如！

他的活動空間已由自己的房間去到
書房、客廳和飯廳，
他最愛把書架上的ＤＶＤ掉到地上．
他就是喜歡爬來爬去，
好像要替媽媽抹地似的．

在Ｐｌａｙｐｅｎ內，
他能站穩．
當媽媽要預備晚餐時，
他會安靜地在ｐｌａｙｐｅｎ玩，
不過，
不能超過２０分鐘．

自從爸媽再一次忍心讓他哭累而睡，
他再次能夠自己入睡，
八點多睡著，
至五點半起床，
這幾天比較好，
六點才起來．

飲食方面，
小必安在這個月多試了一些食物：
菠菜、玉米、瘦肉粥、雞肉、火雞肉、雞肝、
香蕉、杏脯、皺皮瓜、西瓜和白桃．
他甚麼都喜歡嘗嘗．

媽與必安開始上學，
是給０－１２個月的嬰兒參加的．
小必安喜歡跟女生玩，
他會摸別人的臉的鼻子呢．
剛過去的一堂，
我們去了一個很大的農場，
裡面有很多的南瓜田，
我們坐ｔｒａｃｔｏｒ，
又看動物，
最有趣是必安置身在南瓜堆中．
離開前媽揀了一個回家．

這個月必安第一次：
＂拎＂頭仔；
＂豆沙喉＂（仍扮李小龍叫）；
吃粥仔；
拍手仔；
接觸到ｂａｂｙ　ｍｏｎｉｔｏｒ
（要勞煩爸把床仔調至最低一格）；
玩口水．．．
此外，
他說多了話，
有時好像在罵人，
有時像演講．

Bennett's 7-month-old pics (3) 小必安七個月近照　（三）

2006-09-14T13:20:00.000-07:00

小必安已經八個月大了!

這半個月他又長進了--
終於在晚餐也轉食糊仔(一日共三餐);
便便因而多了,
更在媽媽的輔助下坐Potty;
在地上"游行"的速度快了;
由趴在地上轉為坐直,
動作乾脆俐落,
值得取滿分!
(動作:趴->雙手撐著以把雙腳提起做出蹲下來的動作->
用其中一只手借力在身旁一撐,整個人就會坐直,簡直是活動自如!)

不知道小必安是否有做體操的天份,
話說早幾天媽媽往洗手間,把必安放在床仔,
不久,
聽到他發出"唔~唔~"聲,
心想又是"便便"了.
當媽媽回BB房,
嚇然發現他站在床上,
一只手扶著床邊,
一只手在把玩Baby Monitor的鏡頭,
"阿仔,你在做甚麼?"媽說.
小必安很神氣地對著媽媽笑.
媽給氣壞了!
在同一天他再站了兩次,
於是,
待爸爸下班後把必安的床調低兩格.

以為告一斷落?
No!

今早四時許,
小必安醒了在哭,
爸媽看一下Baby Monitor,
發現他坐在床上,
媽往安撫他,
過了十五分鐘,
他完全是"無睡意",
媽往洗手間去,
回來發現他又站起來.
黑漆漆的環境中,
真不知到他如何站起來?!
救命!

有專家說,
小朋友在半夜突然起來其中的兩個因素:
(1)他在日間做了一些新的動作,
就是在三更夜半也要起來練習練習(@_@!?);
(2)是發展另一階段的先兆,
例如將會行走.

依~~
難道小必安很快就要學行了嗎?
如果屬實...
唔...
他會在飛機上走來走去嗎?
OH, NO!!! @_@

以下是必安七個月的第三部相簿:

Bennett got a new toy!

2006-09-12T20:00:00.000-07:00

Bennett got a new toy today and he's very excited. The toy is labelled for kids over 9 months old. However Bennett seems to master it the moment it's unboxed. Vivian and I are also very pleased.

Bennett is 8 months old today!

Bennett having dinner

2006-09-07T19:30:00.000-07:00

Bennett started having solid food as dinner a few days ago. Vivian also added 'fresh' fruits such as avocado and banana to the meals. Bennett really enjoys the new culinary experience!

This one is cool

2006-08-22T14:58:00.000-07:00

聽取Ｈｅｉｄｉ姨姨的意見，把小紅蘿蔔雪冰給小必安咬，讓他鍛鍊牙肉．小必安牙力驚人，把小紅蘿蔔咬得扁扁的，生怕他吞進口裡呢！此外，開始讓他吃ｆｉｎｇｅｒ　ｆｏｏｄ，好讓他鍛鍊手指的控制能力，太細小的他不會拿也不能放進口裡，反而大粒一點的他就能拿起放進口裡．幸虧那些手指餅入口即溶．他遺傳了爸媽的因子－－貪吃．每逢爸媽在吃東西，他老是定睛的看著，好像說他也要吃似的．上星期小組燒烤會，媽媽就餵他吃煨蕃薯，吃得他津津有味，一小口一小口不停地吃！

這個星期，他像魚兒般在地上「游來游去」，更會穿過小隧道，真是自由自在！他更嘗試提起屁股仔向前爬，動作有點像在做Ｍｉｎｉ　Ｐｕｓｈ－ｕｐ．很有趣！

Bennett's 7-month-old pics (1) 小必安七個月近照　（一）

2006-08-14T22:33:00.000-07:00

小必安已七個月大了！

在過去的數個星期裡，他又長進了－－吃米糊和菜泥，果泥的份量多了（先在只試早、午餐）；趴在地上從原地自轉到可以爬行一兩步；伸手拿玩具時會小心翼翼地向前傾伏在地上，待適當時機就會像青蛙般撲向前；洗澡時會拍水；爸媽跟他玩或說話時有更多的反應；說更多的ＢＢ話。

不過，他在某些地方有反覆的情況－－吃奶粉時多時少；好幾天凌晨四點起來，弄得爸媽累透了；再沒有主動張開口讓媽媽替他抹牙肉，總是百般不願意；不滿意就會大聲叫嚷，七個月大的小伙子已有他的脾氣！讓他試燕麥糊，他有敏感的反應；他不喜歡吃青豆泥和蘋果泥．．．

萬眾期待，小必安的近照：

感謝神

2006-08-01T09:50:00.000-07:00

今早上班的時候, 車房門竟然卡著, 不能全開, 心情也開始懊惱起來.
感謝神, 不消數分鐘便發現原來有一顆螺絲鬆脫了, 而這顆螺絲剛好丟在車子旁邊, 很易找到.
把螺絲裝上後, 車房門便可以"大開中門".
(其實也花多數分鐘後才攪妥.)
在架車上班時,
感謝神讓我可以沉著氣去處理問題,
更要感謝的, 是事件發生在我上班的時候,
要是發生在我不在家時,
而Vivian又需要出街,
情況便不會這麼理想.
這件事雖然是小事一宗,
但它可以令我記起神的保守和照顧.

Bennett's 6-Month-old pics(1) 小必安六個月近照(一)

2006-07-28T22:59:00.000-07:00

小必安已經六個月大了．有不少他的＂第一次＂－－由背部反向肚子的反身；第一口半固體食物（米糊）；第一次水池派對，還有他開始用三號尿片．

他越來越頑皮，當媽媽抱著他或是替他換片時，他總會反身，就是在play pen，床仔或地上玩也會反來反去，弄得媽媽時常很忙碌．由於他多了反身，爸媽特地買了一部嬰兒監視器，類似閉路電事來監察他的動靜，以確保他在床上的安全．

小必安多了說ＢＢ話，特別在他玩和開心的時候．

以下是小必安的近照：　This is the link to view the latest pics: http://share.shutterfly.com/action/welcome?sid=8AaNmzNw5cs2dk

Bennett is 6-month-old. He has his many "firsts": first roll over from the back to the stomach, first solid food (rice cereal), first pool party. He also starts to use number 3 diapers.

He becomes more naughty as he keeps turning when mommy holds him or changes his diapers. He rolls also when he plays in the play pen, crib or on the floor. Just to keep mommy busy all the time. Since he starts to roll over more, daddy and mommy have bought and installed a baby video monitor to watch his movement so as to make sure he's doing fine in his crib.

He coos and bubbles more, especially when he is playing, and he is happy.

天氣悶熱

2006-07-25T11:22:00.000-07:00

可能近日天氣悶熱, 竟然跟老婆頂撞, oh well..., 希望可以早日雨過天晴, 亦希望她的病可以早日康復.
前天我們把小必安放在辦公椅上, 有點有趣:

2006-07-17T17:53:00.000-07:00

Yesterday we had a gathering with some of our friends in San Diego. I liked the gathering not just because of food and the kids but it was a simple party (without a lot of glamours) that allowed some good and frank conversations. Of course it was fun to see the kids and Bennett dipping into the pool - and cried.

6-month Check-up 六個月身體檢查

2006-07-12T11:04:00.000-07:00

今天爸爸和媽媽帶小必安到診所看醫生，
其實是六個月身體檢查．

體重１４磅１２安士，大約在中位數．（兩個月前是１３磅１４安士）
身長２５．７５吋（比起兩個約前短了半吋？！
真奇怪！似乎姑娘有點＂喳流灘＂（＝求其）．
頭圍１６．５吋，長了半吋．

又要打四針！
打第一針時，
小必安還好奇地看著姑娘，
眼神好像說：＂Ｗｈｏ　ａｒｅ　ｙｏｕ？＂
第二針一落，
他已大哭起來，
看得媽媽也心痛．

2006-07-11T22:54:00.000-07:00

小必安在明天就會六個月大了．他不斷地成長－－可以坐在高凳上；呀呀學語的聲音多了；對周遭的事物感興趣；想觸摸每一件東西，更把它們放進口裡．他就是那麼一個滿有好奇心和無限精力的小伙子，去探索一切新的事物．

美國國慶日是小必安第一次看煙花，看得他入神．

Ｅｖａ姑姐從香港前來探望．爺爺、嫲嫲和Ｍａｙ姑姐也一起來，一家人有個愉快的相聚．

Bennett will be 6-month-old tomorrow. He just keeps growing a lot - he can sit in the high chair. He babbles a lot. He is interested in everything around him. He wants to touch things and tries to put things in his month. He is just a very curious boy full of energy to explore all the new things.

On the Independence Day, Bennett watched fireworks for the very first time. He was just fascinated!

Aunt Eva came from Hong Kong to visit Bennett last Saturday. Grandpa, grandma and Aunt May also came. We had a great family reunion.

國慶日煙花匯演

2006-07-04T22:52:00.000-07:00

今天是美國國慶日，在國內有不少慶祝活動．在聖地牙哥就有十多個地方有煙花匯演，而我們所居住的Ｍｉｒａ　Ｍｅｓａ也不弱，上午有巡遊匯演，晚上在Ｍｉｒａ　Ｍｅｓａ　Ｈｉｇｈ　Ｓｃｈｏｏｌ就有煙花匯演．

晚上九時一般是小必安上床睡覺的時間，但今天晚了一點，在九時才吃完奶，即聽見屋外傳來窿窿的燒煙花聲響．猜不到我們家的後園正是欣賞這匯演的＂有利位置＂，連忙抱著小必安出外看煙花．是他第一次看煙花，看得他定了神．一看就十分鐘，心裡正想讚他能安靜地用心看煙花，他已大哭起來．沒辦法，過了休息的時間，只好跟爸爸迅速地替他洗澡，讓他睡覺．

雖然沒有傳統的燒烤，但能夠一家人在家裡一起看燦爛的煙花匯演，倒是一次很特別的經歷．

第一次郊遊 First Picnic

2006-06-26T22:05:00.000-07:00

２００６年６月２４日是聖地牙哥主恩堂粵語堂一年一度的大旅行（地點是Ｆｅｌｉｃｉｔａ　Ｐａｒｋ），亦是小必安第一次郊遊，爸媽早就為他裝備，包括太陽油和太陽帽．
那天小必安分別給Ｊｏｓｅｐｈｉｎｅ姨姨、Ｒａｙｍｏｎｄ叔叔、Ｊｏｈｎ叔叔、Ｋｏｒａｌ姨姨和Ｗｉｌｌｉａｍ叔叔抱過，最後更在Ｒａｙｍｏｎｄ叔叔懷裡睡著了，讓爸媽可以輕鬆地享用午餐．小必安戴上太陽帽的樣子似女孩子麼？謝謝Ｊａｎｅ姨姨用Ｄａｒｒｅｎ哥哥的照相機拍下的「大頭相」．

It's the yearly picnic of CBCSD Cantonese Congregation on 24 June, 2006. We went to Felicita Park. It's also Bennett's first picnic. Daddy and mommy prepared sunblock and a hat for him.

Bennett was held by Josephine, Raymond, John, Koral and William, and he finally fell asleep in Raymond's arm so that daddy and mommy could relax and enjoy the lunch. Did Bennett look like a girl with the hat? Thanks Jane for taking the close up pic by using Darren's camera.

每隔七天．．．

2006-06-23T00:10:00.000-07:00

每隔七天你會做甚麼？看電影？與家人飲茶？打長途電話給遠方親友？

每隔七天，媽媽會帶小必安返教會做禮拜．
每隔七天，爸爸會將他的電腦做備份（ｂａｃｋｕｐ）．
每隔七天，小必安會做一件令爸媽鬆一口氣的事－－便便（ｐｏｏｐ　ｐｏｏｐ）．

問過兒科醫生，原來吃母乳的ＢＢ有機會一個月只有一至兩次的便便，她的一個病人有長達１９天才便便的紀錄，真是不可思議！幸好小必安每隔七天就有便便，希望他不要破甚麼紀錄，也不用擔心會浪費紙巾和尿片．

小飛俠小必安

2006-06-22T23:58:00.000-07:00

小必安很喜歡媽媽抱著他扮「小飛俠」，每次都把他弄得哈哈大笑，非常有趣！爸爸也不賴，總會逋捉到Ｋｏｄａｋ　Ｍｏｍｅｎｔ．爸媽合作無間，果真發揮團隊精神．

不知道還可以抱著小必安扮「小飛俠」多少次呢？他越來越重啊．沒關係，就珍惜每一次機會吧！

美味腳趾

2006-06-13T22:27:00.000-07:00

弊！終於給媽媽拍下了我的「醜怪」樣子！嘻～嘻～

五個月大了！

2006-06-12T23:06:00.000-07:00

不經不覺，小必安已五個月大了！在過去的一個月，他長進了不少－－懂得坐直身體（但會向後翻）；第一次翻身；會吻爸媽的臉頰；對周遭的事物，如別人的動作和聲音作出不同的反應；拍照時會望鏡頭；笑多了；晚上吃奶粉會自己拿著奶樽；終於可以吸吮腳趾；睡過夜．．．不過，也有他第一次的傷風，感謝神，他康復得很快，也沒有惡化．

「兒女是耶和話所賜的產業．」自問只是一個甚麼都不懂的新媽媽，但在照顧小必安的幾個月裡，我經歷了神豐富的恩典．透過神話語的安慰和教導，弟兄姊妹的支援（照顧兒女的心得和代禱），使我每一天也有力量去學習如何照顧他．

盼望神繼續保守和帶領我們一家，並給我和Ｅｄ智慧、愛心和耐心彼此配搭去照顧和教導小必安，好叫我們所作的能蒙神悅納！

謝謝你們的代禱！

夏天終於來到，月底我們一家會參加教會的大旅行，由於是戶外活動，加上我還不到六個月大，不能塗任何防曬用品，媽媽便買了一頂太陽帽給我．你看，我可愛不可愛呢？我自己就非常喜歡這個造型，媽媽替我戴上帽子，我已開心得不得了！

Little Bennett is sick!

2006-06-06T07:55:00.000-07:00

Little Bennett is sick for the very first time. He started to cough yesterday with stuffy nose and watery eyes. Dr. Narayan said he's got a cold in an early stage. The sickness may get worse on the third or fourth day. Poor baby! He's a little bit cranky yesterday, and it took him half an hour to fall asleep on his own. Thank God he's still sleeping now (it's 8 am, and he's been sleeping for more than 10 hours)! Hope he will be recovered soon.

Grandparents and Aunt May visited us last Sunday. We had lunch at HKBBQ. Dad took a picture of mom and I by using his cell phone.
Having taken a nap back home, we went window shopping at North County Fair. Dad put me on a sofa in the furniture department at JCPenny. The sofa was for clearance sale, but I was not! I was too tiny for the huge sofa. I remember that there were two old ladies looked at me and kept saying, "look at the baby, he's so cute!" It's just so funny! :-)

好妹妹搬上北加州... Little Sister moves to Northern California

2006-05-31T13:31:00.000-07:00

剛收到妹妹的新地址, 令我記起她明天便要獨個兒架車上路,搬上北加州.

前幾天她帶爸爸媽媽造訪,但似乎談話的焦點都在小必安上,沒有好好的跟她談談, 而我在言談間,更作出"訓示"式的說話,可能始終是大佬.

有一件憾事:
知道她要搬後,並沒有好好的為她禱告!

但願她一切順利!

妹子: 我們始終是一家人喔!
- 崇雁

Just received an email from my little sister informing her new address in Northern California. She paid a visit with our parents a few days ago but we never had a chance to have a good chat.

There's one thing that I do regret: After being told that she's moving, I didn't pray to God for her. Wish her have a peaceful transition.

My dearest sister: Remember we're a family!
