    挑战权威

    刚到新加坡时，7 岁的敦敦， 突然迷上卡通片，有时会看很长时间，我对此即烦心也不解。 习惯了做研究的我，想先了解一下卡通的魅力，试着陪他看了 几次，费了很大劲也没看进去，觉得实在太无聊。我严肃地告 诉敦敦，我不希望他把宝贵的时间浪费在这上面。这回轮到敦 敦耐心地向我解释，我亲爱的妈妈，你不喜欢卡通是有原因 的，可你不能剥夺我看卡通的权力。看他态度诚恳，我说，你 给我列出三个理由，若理由充分，妈妈自然会做适当的让步。

    没想到，不出一分钟，敦敦就给了我三个理由：

    第一：很遗憾，你无法欣赏卡通之美，因为你小的 时候没有好看的卡通片。卡通是使用非现实的手法，讲现实中 的道理。

    第二：卡通是年轻人为小孩设计的。对不起，您年 纪太大，所以很难向我一样为卡通着迷。

    第三：大人看电影是为了娱乐和减压，小孩也有各 种压力，也需要转移和放松。

    说心里话，敦敦讲理，很有一套， 他第三个理由提醒了我，让我不得不闷心自问，是 啊！孩子是有压力的，而且这压力是我们带来的。

    孩子极其不情愿地跟我们来到新加坡，离开他心爱 的香港康乐园国际学校的老师和小伙伴们，下飞机 10天后这从未考过试的孩子，就要面对扑天盖地的考 试，孩子标准的英国英语成了学校中被孤立的极少数，他还要 在短时间内自己搞定中文繁体到简体的飞跃，严厉的老师，并 不宽容的同学。一个多月下来，敏感的敦敦为了生存，在学校 就不得不用流利的‘Singlish’ 想法得到了 同学们的认同。

    为了对新加坡的生活有个心理准备，在香港我们全 家一起看过 ‘小孩不 笨’这部片子，到了新加坡后，我才知道，真正的新加坡孩 子，比电影中的还悲惨。孩子头上有三座大山，第一座，是新 加坡的国民教育口号“没有人为我们着想，新加坡的明天要靠 我们自己奋斗” 一个国家从 小向孩子们灌输不安全意识，长大了的公民也自然没有安全 感；第二座，是传统的学校‘服从教育’孩子们从小就 在‘can not’ 的阴影下长大；第三座， 是没有安全感的年轻父母们，是他们让孩子没时间思考，孩子 们可用来发现自己，展现个性的大好时光都被各色补习班无情 地吞噬了。

    想想还真惭愧，我下飞机十天就开始上班，因为工 作忙，并没给孩子寻找减压的途径。我应该感谢卡通片，让敦 敦在高压下得以喘息。

    有香港国际学校作参照，敦敦很快发现了新加坡本 地学校的弊病。开学后三个月，敦敦给校方写了封长信，主要 内容是告诉学校不要忽略了同学们的感受，成绩并非最要紧， 快乐更加重要。还提出建议，老师要关心同学们的心理问题。 我觉得信写得很好，就用电邮发给了学校。午饭时，我跟同事 们聊天，谈及此事，没想到同事们大惊失色，你真大胆，竟敢 让孩子挑战学校的制度。这事在新加坡可千万干不得呀！我 说，没事，我觉得，他敢与表达看法是件好事，敦敦在5岁时 给布什写了他生平第一封信，告诉布什‘不要攻打伊拉克，不 然将受到上帝的惩罚’，我当天就扫描，为的是抢在战争发动 之前发给白宫的布什。我给敦敦挑战权威的机会，他敢挑战他 的妈妈，他敢挑战学校，他敢挑战布什。天高任鸟飞，海阔凭 鱼跃，这小鸟和小鱼的胆子和勇气是从小培养的，难得的是， 他们的父母给了他们宝贵的机会和空间。

    What happend?
    Why'd he leave?
    Now its just a harder
    goal to achieve!

    He made me hurt,
    he made me cry.
    He made me weep,
    he made me shy.

    I try my hardest
    just to let go.
    But the more I try,
    the less it shows

    As I try to untangle
    this web of pain.
    I relize the more courage,
    I need to gain.

    People say "Move on,
    get over him."
    But my bright light,
    starts to dim.

    I love him so much,
    he made my heart ring.
    I miss him alot,
    but he taught me somthing.

    Love is not easy,
    and sometimes not kind.
    But you cant force someone to like you,
    and eventually true love you'll find!

    Buying a New House is Stressful....

    ���� Well, the good news is that I have found a house. I was originally suppose to close in 2 days, but now they are delaying me another week. This sucks because I had to call my utilities, cable, etc.... back so they could postpone my transfer date another week. Im just ready to get in the new house...the anticipation is killing me. I just want to tell everyone that when you go to the loan company to get a loan, they will ask you for anything and everything you can think of. Im about burnt out.

    Itis a raining day in Nanjing today. Here once it starts torain,it will generally last several days. Sometimes I hate raining. And the wind always brings about rain that makes people difficult to walk. In the spring of this year, the abnormal weather is seemingly colder than the winter of last year. So now many people still have to wear the thick clothes.
    In fact, in recent years this abnormal weather often exists at a high frequency all over the world. The experts on Metrology say human beings’ activities contribute to the deterioration ofsuch weather condition largely. Since the Industrial Revolution began, human beings started to ruinthe nature little by little. First, the multiply of natural resources, especially those irreproducible resources, were exploited intemperately to make the industrial products. When nature brings the natural disasterto human being, thenthey willrealize thatwhat they have doneis wrong. So many kinds of protection activities were takenin all fields. This “pollute first, control second” road is walked by many of developed countries. In China, the size of land is larger, but the natural resources areless than other countries in the world. So the policy of sustainable development has to be carried out. Everyone must take action to protect our home for our next generation.

    god why is jemima so obsessed wit luke?hes not that good lookin and he dosent even know she existeds,and if he does hes only eva gonna look at her as his teachers daughter.shes totally wastin her time.everyone says toby is totally devoted to me but i just dont see it. people are sooo blind sometimes.

    you know wat reuben said to me the other day?he said "all guys are gay until proven otherwise". how wierd is that! i was all" so have you been proven yet" and he was like" im not gay full stop just like johnny depps hot full stop" and i went into hysterics and he was like "wat are you laughing at?" and then he realised wat he had said. it was sooooooooooo funny!



    my wisdom for today is: live until you cant live anymore.dont think,just do,and if that gets you in trouble start thinking.
