On May 12, 2008 at 2.28 pm, the 8-magnitude earthquake strike Wenchuan County of Sichuan Province, China. Till date, deadly tremor has killed more than 32,000 people, injured more than 220,000 and destroyed more than 500,000 buildings. I have also read more than 6,000 schools were destroyed in this earthquake. Everyday watching the news in the TV made me felt so sadden. Life is fragile. You see the people being trapped in the debris and are waiting to pull out. When I saw on the TV that these people survive after more than 100 hours, I felt happy for them and admire their strong will power to live. Tents, foods and drinking waters are insufficient. These people have no homes.
施 比 受 更 有 福. 一 方 有 难 , 八 方 支 援. There are so many people in different countries all pour in their help to the people in China. The rescue teams that work every day and night to help pull out the survivors are great hero and we shall pay our high respect to these people. For normal people, donation have been pouring into China from all over the world to help the Chinese pass over their trouble, re-build their house, and etc etc…..
I have also contributed a small donation to the China Red Cross Society through our sister company in Suzhou China. 聚 少 成 多. Everyone in Singapore should also contribute their part to help the Quake-Hit China people. We have to remember - ‘We are very fortunate to be born and home in Singapore which is free of earthquake and water disaster’

The mother of teenage children
As a mother is really not an easy task, especially when the children become teenagers.
Waking ups the children, rushing them to be on time for school is considered nagging to them. Call them to study harder, and not to be on the computer or phone for too long is considered nagging to them. Checking what kind of friends they mix with is considered nagging to them. Asking them to eat dinner is considered nagging to them. Asking them to tidy up the room is considered nagging to them.
Perhaps only if the children know to do things ‘automatically’, then we do not need to be keep calling and calling and become a nagging mummy. Perhaps only when the children become parents, then they understand the heart of being a parent.
I started to feel loneliness as the children grown to teenagers. They have their circle of friends and barrier started between our communications. I know sometimes my tone is wrong, but I felt the children show no patience towards the parents. I really wonder nowadays how come the youngsters could talk to their friends and they could not talk to their parents properly. Is this really the starting of ‘代沟’ ?
In order to prevent unhappiness, I could only keep quiet, keep my eyes away from what they are doing. If I don’t see, I don’t nag. But I felt lonesome and I started to miss my beloved hubby, only if he could be with me till I old.
The children do not understand why I like to go back to my mum’s house early. At least over there, I have the company of my mum, my sisters and the others that I could talk with and I don’t feel that I am alone.
