3個酸媽媽 作者：小野
3個媽媽聚在一起聊天。 其中一個非常失落地說：「中秋節難得全家團聚，剛剛接下他爸爸事業的兒 子和新婚媳婦也從大陸趕回家來，大家一起烤肉。 我兒子每烤好一串肉，就夾到媳婦的盤子裡，夾滿了整整一盤。我的盤子始終 空空的，他都沒看見，就像他永遠看不到我空虛的心一樣。幾個月前我們才花 一大筆錢幫他們辦婚禮，新房也是他老爸送的。他們吃的住的都靠我們，而我 卻連一串烤肉都分不到。夠心酸的吧？」
另一個媽媽也跟著抱怨起來：「哎喲，只是吃不到兒子的烤肉，這可不是最壞 的，至少還沒叫你烤給媳婦吃就偷笑了。我兒子剛從國外出差回來，送我一個 鑰匙環，也送他妹妹一個鑰匙環。卻花他兩個月的薪水買了一只卡地亞的女錶 送給他的女朋友，還一直問我說，送錶會不會太寒酸了？我就故意說，如果嫌 寒酸就送給我好了，你就送她鑰匙環。如果她真心愛你，應該不會在乎禮物的 價值的。說完我就把鑰匙環交給他，把那只錶搶過來，他竟然和我翻臉，差一 點把我推倒。夠心酸了吧？比你酸多了吧。」
第三個媽媽深深地嘆了一口氣說：「妳們只要換個角度想想就不會難過了，兒 子對自己的老婆或是女朋友好，表示他們非常恩愛，我們應該為孩子的感情有 歸宿感到高興才對。 兩個正在戀愛中的人本來就是看不到別人的，更何況本來就像是空氣一般存在 的老媽。 老媽是孩子的空氣，只有缺氧的時候才會發現空氣的重要，偏偏做媽媽的特別 賤，永遠不讓孩子缺氧。 我有個兒子已經30多歲了，他的女朋友就是那台電腦，每天就窩在屋子裡和電 腦談戀愛，足不出戶。我實在看不下去，只好每天替他清垃圾， 弄點東西給他吃。他常常嫌我煩要趕我出去，有一次還用腳踢我呢。」 「真正最心酸的是我。我不知道還要照顧這個兒子到幾歲？如果他能有個女朋 友， 我可以烤肉給他的女朋友吃，也可以買卡地亞送她。」這個媽媽說著說著就哭 了起來。
I don't know how other Moms feel about this article, but to me, I disagree with it. 孩子是神所賜的產業，父母只是管家，他們有一天是要建立自己的家庭，有他們自己的責任。對自己的妻子比對媽媽好，並沒什麼不對；at least, 我自己就不會太care. 孩子能體貼到每個人的需要固然是很好，但有時沒顧到自己，也沒什麼好upset的。其實，老公才是最重要的，才是真正相伴一生的人。肉串，當然是找老公夾嘍！

懶媽妙招
Stephen always take care of kids' haircut, and I just need to get kids ready before hand and take them to the shower afterwards. My biggest headache was to deal with their clothes with many small hairs on. Finally, I got a great idea: By using 2 big garbage bags, their whole body including the clothes and shoes was all wrapped, and it was so easy for me to clean 
up the clothes.

不熱嗎？
It's Spring, and I started wearing short sleeves during the day, but my 3 boys still had their jackets (thick jackets) on most of the time. When I went to pick up Hee, he had his jacket; when I went to pick up Ha, he also had his jacket. Every day, I asked them countless times: 不熱嗎？，but they always say no.
問久了，我也開始懷疑自己：到底是真的天氣熱了，還是我身上肥油太多，不怕冷了？

Magic School Bus
I saw Magic School Bus books and videos in the library long time ago, but I never was interested in borrowing them home. The title was not attractive to me at all. "Magic"? I doubted how good will this kind of books be.
About half a year ago, we went to the library book sale. On the second day of the book sale, the books were sold $3 per paper bag. We could put as many books in as we wanted as long as the bag could hold. For some reason, we put 2 or 3 Magic School Bus series in (maybe because they were thin.)
At home, I read the books to Ha and Hee every night, and one night, they chose one of the Magic School Bus books for me to read. I love it! Absolutely love it! And from then on, I started recorded Magic School Bus TV programs for them to watch and tried to borrow books from the library if I could find them. (They were not in one section, so it's not easy to locate.)
Magic School Bus series introduced all kinds of science to the kids in the way that they could understand: weather, solar system, water, animal, chemistry reaction, rainbow, rainforest, our body.........Kids and their teacher Mrs. Frizzle took their magic school bus to different interesting tours, and we could learn many things from their tours.

環保袋
In Taiwan, I learned that we shouldn't take using plastic bags for granted because it would cost us when we ask for the plastic bags in the market.
Back here, I got a lot of "free" plastic bags every week from the grocery shopping, and even though we used them as garbage bags, we still have many in the drawer.
I had 3 free 環保袋 from City of Cupertino and Marina Market, but I never used them before. They were in my closet for more than a year, but I never thought of using them because I didn't think that it would be convenient to me to bring the bags to the market. Today, I decided to give them a try. When I handed the bags to the cashier, I felt so proud of myself because I was making the effort to protect the environment, and I felt "臉上有光，走路有風".All my groceries (around $70)were fit into those 3 bags, and it actually saved me some time to take the groceries from the car to the kitchen because instead of 10+ plastic bags, I just needed to carry 3 bags. I loved it!
Well, I may still get the plastic bags from the market when I ran out of the garbage bags, but I will be using the 環保袋 more and more in the future.

Another Camera Tragedy
Yes, another camera tragedy! But this time, Hee was the 肇事者.
Usually, Ha used my old camera to take pictures, and Hee didn't have any (He broke his own "cheap" camera long long long time ago), so I let him use my good camera when he wanted to take pictures. Since it's a digital camera, he could take whatever he liked, and I could delete some of them that I didn't like. (He usually takes pictures of floor, desk, chairs, his toys....)
I haven't uploaded photos to my computer for a while, so I had about 30 pictures still in the camera. On Saturday, when I was ready to take pictures of their new haircut, I found that my old photos were all gone! Hee accidentally deleted them! He hasn't read well yet, but he is not afraid of playing things around even though he was not sure what the words said, so I guessed that he pressed the "delete all" bottom and it's a done deal!
Well, I was pretty upset about losing the photos, but I was not really angry at him. He didn't do it on purpose, and it was a good lesson for him. I believe that he will be extra careful when he plays with my camera.
When I was young, one day, my sister and I 用手吊在掛毛巾的桿子上盪來盪去，像盪秋千，沒幾下桿子就斷了。我們拿一堆玩具想修回去，也沒用。爸爸回來，也沒生氣，一下就修好了，but we learned that the 桿子is not盪秋千after that.

Playtime at School
Today, when I drove Hee home, I asked him about what he did during the recess time, and he said that he was playing in the "house" in the playground.
“Who were in the house？”I asked.
"Miss E black hair, Miss E yellow hair, and I", he said. (He did say their names, but I didn't want to post them in public. Both of their first name started with "E" )
"What were you doing in the house?"I asked.
"I am the daddy, but I didn't remember who's the mommy and who's the kid" he said.
It felt so funny to learn that my little boy was playing the house with two other girls. I was playing the game few years ago with my sisters, and I also played it at school. I asked Hee who his best friend is, and I named few kids in the church and at school, and he chose "Miss E black hair" to be his best friend.
In the afternoon, when I picked up Ha, I asked him the same about what he did during recess time, and he said that he were trying to catch "Mr. E". He helped to block his way, so other kids could catch him. He told me that Mr. B, Mr. M, Mr. S were also playing. It was a typical boy game, and he seemed to have fun. This time, I didn't ask him who his best friend is because I was sure that he would say: I don't know.

加速度
This afternoon, I was out in our backyard and pulling out the weeds. Hee was riding his bike around me. He said: The wind was blowing my bike, and I was going faster. I told him that it's not the wind. He was on a small 斜坡, and it has "加速度”。 He rode his bike back to the start point of the 斜坡 and stopped there, and he told me that the 斜坡 didn't have 加速度 anymore. I told him that because he didn't have 速度, he couldn't have 加速度. We also talked about roller coaster, and we agreed that when the 斜坡愈斜，the 加速度may be 愈大。
This was the first time that I really understood 加速度! I learned it when I was in Middle School, and I never really understood it. I just memorized some of the formula and tried to pull them into the questions to get the answers. Sometimes, luckily, I was right, and sometimes, I was wrong. Anyways, I said goodbye to Physics, Chemistry and Biology after the high school enterance exam, and I never expected to see them ever again in my life.
But today, I was talking "加速度" to my boy. Then, I went online to know more about my old friend "加速度". I found that I could actually understand a little bit about what the teacher said in the following article: (besides "加速度", Hee also spent big amount of time today trying to do the experiment about 槓桿原理。 He gathered many small stone and placed them on either side of the wood which was on a pail to see which side of the wood would fall faster.)

【学生状况分析】
加速度的概念，对于刚迈上高中门槛的初中学生来讲，实在是太抽象！首先在日常生活中，多数情况下，学生只涉及到运动多少路程、位移，运动有多快？很少碰到速度变化有快慢之分的现象，可以说不学物理，在头脑中是不会自发的形成“加速度”的概念；其次，学生抽象思维能力不高，对于速度、速度的变化、速度的变化率的区别很难分清；最后，在教学过程中学生往往只重结果，轻过程，再通过大量的习题来死记结论，如果这样，学生的思维能力将得不到培养。
【教材教法分析】
加速度是联系动力学和运动学的桥梁，机械振动、电磁场、能量守恒、动量定理等内容都涉及到。利用一节课的时间把它讲清讲透是不可能的事，使学生心理上自动接受并运用，这是循序渐进的过程。因此，教师上课时要充分挖掘书本的素材，如图像、表格、数据；尽最大努力搜集与速度变化快慢有关的现象，引起学生重视加速度的概念；采用演示、类比、比喻等一切手段帮助学生理解加速度的意义；调动学生参与教学过程，培养学生的思维能力，调动学习物理的兴趣。
【教学目标】
1．知道物体的速度变化是有快慢之分的，理解加速度的含义及物理意义。
2．知道加速度单位的符号和读法，会用公式a＝ΔV∕Δt来解决一些简单的实际问题。
3．培养学生抽象思维的能力，能对事物进行具体分析和判断，使学生了解物理推理过程的逻辑美。
【教学重、难点】
重点：加速度的概念及物理意义。
难点：加速度的物理意义。
疑点：加速度与速度之间有关系吗？加速度在减小，速度反而有可能增大吗？
【教学方法】
演示、类比、比喻，分析讨论、启发式教学。
【教学过程】
（通过演示实验引入新课）师：下面做一个实验，请大家观察现象，让玩具小车从斜面顶端由静止开始下滑，第一次斜面坡度小，第二次斜面坡度较大。
问：两次小车各在做什么运动？两次实验中小车的运动情况有何不同？
学生回答可能有很多种情况，例举以下三种：
1．斜面倾角越大，物体运动越快；
2．小车从倾角大的斜面滚到末端，所用时间较少；
3．小车从倾角大的斜面滚到末端，获得的速度较大。
（估计全班没有一个人会直接讲出物体在倾角较大的斜面滚下时，速度改变快。）
师：对学生的回答都应进行鼓励，并肯定是对的，经过提示、点拔，得出两次物体滚下时，速度改变的快慢是不一样的结论，这个结论与本节课内容有关。
物体的速度的改变是有快慢之分的。
师：实际上速度改变的快慢与生活是紧密相连的，那么，同学们能否举一些例子出来，进行说明。 （经过2分钟后，估计无学生会主动站起来描述）
师：请同学们听好下列所描述的运动现象，并进行回答，以唤醒学生的记忆。
1．运动的客车进站时，如车的速度改变太快，立即变成0，会出现什么情况？
2．百米赛跑时，发令枪一响，运动员希望自己在短时间内速度改变是越大越好，还是越小越好？
3．火车出站时，速度逐渐较大，经过一段时间后风驰电掣；而一扣枪的板机，子弹“啪”的一声已不见踪影，这说明什么？
师：以上实验，以及生活中现象都说明速度的改变是有快慢之分的，那么，如何定量地比较物体速度的变化快慢呢？
（出示小黑板） 师：小黑板上所列的是四个物体的运动情况，它们都是同学们所熟悉，身边发生的事。请同学们判断一下，谁速度改变最快，谁速度改变最慢。
初速度∕m.s-1
经过时间∕s
末速度∕m.s-1
甲：小朋友从高处沿滑梯下滑
0
2
3
乙：小球从高处静止竖直下落
0
2
20
丙：火车从车站出发
0
100
20
丁：飞机在天空匀速飞行
250
100
250
（学生思考，教师提示在初中时，两个物体运动的快慢是如何比较的。）
方法一：比较甲、乙它们经历的时间Δt一样，甲的速度变化量为3m∕s，乙的速度变化量为20m∕s，经过类比后，得到乙速度改变较快。
方法二：比较乙、丙它们的速度变化量都为20m∕s，但所用的时间不一样，进行类比后，所用时间越少的，速度改变快。
方法三：比较甲、丙，它们的速度变化是不同的，经历的时间也不一样，那么如何比较呢？可以计算平均每秒速度的变化量，即单位时间内速度变化多的速度改变快。
师：通常情况下，比较速度改变的快慢，物体所用的时间不一样，速度的改变大小也不一样，此时，我们都可以计算平均每秒钟速度的变化量。即第三种方法具有普遍意义。并由此算出以上四个物体每秒速度变化的数值分别为：1．5 10 0．2 0
则速度改变的快慢就不言而喻了。
师：通过以上的比较，速度的改变量除以所用的时间，可以反映出物体速度改变的快慢，我们把这个比值叫加速度。
1．定义：加速度等于速度的改变量与发生这一改变所用时间的比值。
2．公式：a＝ΔV∕Δt，且ΔV＝V2－V1
师：解释V1与V2的含义，另外速度的变化量与时间的比值也叫速度的变化率（见P31科学漫步）。公式出来后，单位也确定，它是一个复合单位，与学生共同分析，得出国际单位和常用单位以及读法。
3．单位：m∕s2还有cm∕s2
师：下面请两个同学把小黑板上的甲、乙的加速度算出来，下面的同学计算丙、丁的加速度，要有过程。
（ 这一过程非常重要，借此学生可熟悉公式、单位，教师也可从巡视中发现错误，并引出加速度的物理意义。）
师：进行规范，并给出正确答案，大小分别为：1．5m∕s2 10m∕s2 0．2m∕s2 0
问：请同学们想一想：1．5m∕s2表示什么样的意思？ 师生共同分析，结合定义，得出物理意义；并让学生说出其它数值的含义。
4．物理意义：加速度是表示速度改变快慢的物理量，其数值越大，表示速度改变越快。
问：加速度是矢量还是标量呢？为什么？方向如何规定？
学生讨论后，师生在一起得出速度是矢量，速度的变化量ΔV也是矢量，单位时间内速度的改变量也是矢量，所以a方向与ΔV的方向相同。
问：那么计算时，如何体现出加速度的方向？下面以典型例题进行说明：
典型例题：在一次事故中，小车以10m∕s的速度向一面墙撞过去，碰撞时间为0．1s，
1．如果墙不牢固，墙被撞倒后的一瞬间，车仍以3m∕s向前冲去，求碰撞过程中的加速度？
2．如果墙很牢固，车与它碰撞后的一瞬间，以5m∕s的速度被弹回来，求这一碰撞过程中的加速度？
（先让学生做，然后让成绩是好、中、差的三个学生报出第2小题答案，估计答案都不对）
师：（大声讲出）三个学生的答案都不对，以引起学生关注解题过程。
1．（略）
2．解：以小车开始运动的方向为正方向，V1＝ 10m∕s， 因为未速度与开始运动的方向相反，且速度为矢量， ∴ V2＝ -5m∕s 则ΔV＝ -15 m∕s ∴a＝（-15）∕（0．1）m∕s2＝-150 m∕s2
即：此时加速度大小为150 m∕s2 ，负号表示a方向与车开始运动的方向相反。
（评析：本人在长期的教学过程中得知，学生在了解加速度的定义、物理意义以后，从心理上迫切想做一、二道计算题，来试一试，以此来检测对公式是否真正理解；另外，同时通过该题让学生见识一下矢量如何计算，培养用正、负号表示方向的习惯。）
加速度的方向 加速度的方向与速度改变量的方向相同。加速直线运动，加速度的方向与速度方向相同；减速直线运动与速度方向相反。
师：引导学生阅读书本，知道加速度也分为平均加速度和瞬时加速度，并且加速度保持不变的运动叫匀变速运动。引导学生阅读P30页表格上所列的加速度，对其中一些数值进行分析，一定要结合物理意义及方向来巩固以上内容。
（继续例举一些有趣的实用的例子加以介绍，以激发同学们学习物理的热情）
师：加速度是恒量车辆质量好坏的一个重要标准。车的加速度不是想有多大就有多大，它是受发动机功率、车体质量、传动机构等因素决定的。下面例举三种世界名车速度从0到100km/h所用的时间，看一看说明什么问题？
奇瑞轿车： 11．64s 新奥迪A84车：7s 宝马车：6．3s
问：1．如用这些车作赛车参加百米赛跑，你希望驾驶哪一辆？为什么？
2．如果这些车以相同的速度在高速公路上行驶，突然前面遇到障碍物，哪一种最有可能不会撞到障碍物上，为什么？
师：国外有一种终极豪华跑车，名字叫Murcielago（咆啸的公牛），它的速度从0变为100km/h只需3．8s，当你驾驶这头咆啸的公牛车绝尘而去时，强劲的冲击力必须使热血沸腾，终身难忘。
生：神情激动，满堂笑声。
师：从公式上可以求出a的大小方向，我们也可以从图象上知道物体的加速度
从V－t图象看加速度：
图略：教师引导学生进行分析，结合初中函数图象知识很容易得出，直线越倾斜，加速度越大，图象的斜率在数值上等于加速度。
对加速度a的进一步认识：
师：下面出一些判断题，请同学们回答对与错，对错误的，举一例子加以说明：
1．物体的速度变化越大，则物体加速度就越大。（错。结合前面小黑板所举的例子，比较乙与丙可知此结论不对。）
2．物体的速度很大时，加速度不可能为0。（错。结合小黑板所举的例子，如丁，虽然飞机速度很大，但加速度却为0）
3．物体的加速度在减小，而速度可能在增加。
师：对于第3题，结论是对的，同学们一时可能很难理解，举这样的例子进行类比。例如：猪场里刚生下来的小猪，第1天体重增加1000克，第2天体重增加900克，第3天增加700克，那么，前3天小猪的体重一直在增加吗？每天增加的程度一样吗？
生：体重一直在增加，增加的程度在变小。师：“增加的程度”相当于加速度，“体重”相当于物体的速度，加速度在减小时，速度反而有可能在增加，以后在学过动力学知识后，对此会有更深的了解。
生：露出满意的神情。
总结：通过本节的学习，我们要牢牢理解加速度和速度的区别，在于意义不同，前者是描述速度改变的快慢；后者是描述运动快慢。对于直线运动，计算时一般要规定初速度的方向为正方向，把方向用正负号来表示，便于进行矢量运算，那么加速度的方向才不会出现错误。
作业： P31， 1、3。
教学效果评估：
在多年的高中教学中，每一次上完这一节课后，本人总是对本节内容进行摸底测试，发现对采用本教案进行教学的班级，要比用普通方法进行教学的班级效果要好得多。这学期，在高一（6）班采用本教案教学，在高一（7）班进行普通方法教学，然后用试卷（满分50分，时间45分钟），进行测试，前者及格率达到82%，优秀率为48%；后者及格率为45%，优秀率为9%。成绩只是反映了某一方面，更为重要的是采用本教案教学，培养了学生的思维能力，激发了学生学习物理的热情。

飛機sick
This morning, Ha has no school (staff learning day), so I brought Ha and Hee to a fieldtrip: to visit my grandma in Hayward. It was a long drive, and we talked a lot on our way in the car. When we saw NASA, Hee asked me if I like to take a ride in the spaceshuttle, I told him no, because I am afraid of speed. Ha said that it's not so scary because it's like riding on the airplane. I told him that I was a little nervous on the airplane, too.
Then, Ha said : "飛機上去的時候，我也有一點飛機sick. 我的heart跳的很快，我就用手把它壓住。飛機在天上和landing的時候我都ok."
He never told us that before, and I thought that kids wouldn't feel scared on the airplane ( Hee said that he didn't feel anything.). I have to say that Ha acted very calm on the plane that I didn't even notice that he's nervious, too.

天長地久的磨
轉載自：http://www.wretch.cc/blog/bubutsai/14375023
小一的孩子總是給我一種“魅惑”的感覺：在小廚師的工作中，他們的憨〈此處絕沒有任何一絲“笨”的意含，實在很難用其他的字來取代這個獨特的年齡特質〉、可以專注的方式與耐人尋味的堅持己見都讓我感到著迷；如果時間足夠，真願意這樣天長地久地跟他們“磨”下去。
復興小朋友那場小廚師，我們有一位由幼稚園升上一年級的小朋友。她在廚房裡的認真負責，讓我跟水仙好幾次忍不住開懷地笑了起來。總是安安靜靜卻絕不遺漏任何託付。她每份工作都要參與，但絕不用“吵”來引我注意，只到我一半的身高，在矮處拉拉我的圍裙馬上可以得到回應，不會被淹沒在其他哥哥姐姐的身影中。
昨天的小廚師，竟然出現了一位體型、外表與性情幾乎一模一樣的小一生。我和水仙看到了那彷彿的堅強出現在小小的型體上，幾度想起上次的情景。看著站在小椅子上幫我們添飯壓模型的張晴，真是太可愛了！
子邦呢？從頭到尾不肯脫背心，直到最後，他小小得意地摸著別在背心後的名牌說：「我不想讓你們看到名字！」他很性格，我教他用削皮刮刀整理秋葵，看到一黃一黑的削刀，他只簡單俐落地要求道：「我要用黑的！」子邦動作很快喔，秋葵削完，馬上要去幫大哥捲高麗菜捲。我們的工作簡直不夠他做。偶有空閒，他就宣告：「腳酸了，要坐下來休息。」是真的累嗎？不是的，是需要下一份派任；我覺得有些企業應該可以考慮先訂下十六年後的子邦──猜想他應該會是一匹不肯停蹄的千里馬吧！
柏龍也是精力十足，雖然姐姐相陪，但起先有些羞赧。我看到他拿著水壺好重、實在辛苦，但他堅持要倒水，所以我說：「柏龍，那我們來好好練習吧！」在安安靜靜中，沒有人看到他來來回回總共練習了多少次！之後，帶他收餐具的時候，我說：「柏龍，你把叉子擺得真整齊！」他看看其他格裡的餐具，蹙著小眉頭對我說：「他們把它放得亂七八糟！」我說：「那柏龍幫我們整理整理吧！」他點點頭。之後，花了將近四十分鐘把每格的東西全拿出來重新排列，直到最後有人開始注意這件事了，柏龍想想大概還是不好意思，而且手也很酸了：「不要弄了！」他轉頭走了。
我說「天長地久的磨」是因為跟小小孩做事，絕不能急，也一定不要以我們的速度來看待活動對他們的意義。遇到他們堅持己見的時候，千萬不要用「固執」這麼簡單的想法來處理，只要找出他們可以專注的工作，那慢慢的「磨」，其實是可以很有質感的。
我要先謝謝三個小一生，在前後將近七個小時的活動中，你們小小的身體與大大的毅力，讓大家都很驚喜！
Haha sometimes is also「天長地久的磨」, and he uses a lot of time at the things that we don't think that it's important, such as "making the bed". Before he goes to bed, he wants to make sure that all of his sheets are in the correct order of the layers and all of the sheets need to be absolutely neat. (well, if you can't imagine, try to think the bed when you are in the hotel room.)I told him that as long as he falls asleep, his sheets will be messy, but he still spends his precious sleeping time doing this "important" work. I can tell that he does this not because he doesn't want to sleep but because he really thinks that it's a "must" for a good night sleep.
When he is doing his homework, we sometimes feel that he is a 過動兒, and he can't sit still for few minutes, but when he draws (using MS "Paint"), does legos or other things that he loves to do (even reading, because now, his school has a reading program, and he wants to get the ribbon. He has got one already), he can sit there for hours, and he does do very good job at those things:很有質感 !

睡覺皇帝大
When people say: 吃飯皇帝大， it means that when you are eating, nothing else can bother you until you finish eating; but to Hee, he's 睡覺皇帝大: when he's sleeping, nothing else can bother him until he wakes up.
Hee is such a good sleeper, and he's able to sleep through the night around 1 and 1/2 month old, and he never got up in the middle of the night ever since he's a baby. Also, he can fall asleep quickly by himself because sleeping seems to be a enjoyable thing to him(just like me!). I have absolutely no complain about that, and I have to be thankful to God because he has a wonderful sleep pattern.
The problem is that since nothing can bother him during his sleep, he never goes peepee at night. Now, he's too old for a diaper, so I let him wear the underwear and pant, and I put a pull-up outside of the pant to prevent the wetness of the whole bed. Usually, we wake him up twice at night to go to the bathroom, and he's making a progress in terms of keeping the underwear dry as long as he goes to the bathroom. However, these 3 nights, both Stephen and I slept through the night, and Hee wet the underwear every night.
It didn't seem to bother him at all. It smelt bad, it was wet, but he could still sleep comfortably until we woke him up to change the clothes. Last night, he not only wet his underwear, his pant, the diaper, and also wet the bed, but he didn't call us and didn't show any sign of discomfort. He didn't drink anything at night, but I guessed that he ate too much cantaloupe last night. I will try to change his fruit time to the afternoon; and hopefully, we can wake up at night to wake him up for the bathroom trip.

Leprechaun Trap
This week, the topic of Ha's classroom sharing was to make a leprechaun trap and to demonstrate it. Without my help, Ha had had an idea in mind, and he just asked me for some materials that he might need. He was doing it all by himself, and the finished product looked good.
It reminded me that he made a leprechaun trap when he was in kindergarten, too. At that time, even though he had some idea in mind, he still needed me and stephen's help in order to finish the project. It was a huge trap, and it was a huge star in his classroom on that day. see http://blog.360.yahoo.com/blog-RFrkaVAocrWPQEHcSlK_TZd.?bid=2803&yy=2008&mm=3
(for some reason, video clips were gone! Bad Yahoo!You may watch it from my Yahoo! Video http://video.yahoo.com/watch/2205972/6966312)
I still remembered that in kindergarten, when he was doing the trap, he was having a cold and staying home, and this time, Ha was staying home last Friday because of the cold, too. I believed that these 2 days were the only days that Ha stayed home because of illness. What a coincidence!
Next year, I should pay more attention to Ha and give him more vitamin C around the time of making the leprechaun trap. (Around March 6)
(I'll load the photo of the new leprechaun trap later)

Cheese and 臭豆腐
When I was in Taiwan last month, I dreamed of eating 臭豆腐 because it was one of my favorites in my childhood memory. It was so delicious especially adding some good chili sauce and sweet 泡菜。 However, when we saw a 臭豆腐攤 in our family trip with my mom's relatives, Ha covered his nose and said that it smelt awful, Hee didn't like it, either, and Stephen said that it was made by 發霉。。。, I just didn't have the appetites anymore, and I didn't have an opportunity to find another 臭豆腐 for the rest of our trip in Taiwan.
When Sophia came back from Taiwan, she told me that she ate the 臭豆腐, and the rest of her family were against it, too, but she still finished the whole plate by herself.
I should have done that! I will eat it next time when I am in Taiwan no matter what the other 3 boys say!
Last night, my brother and sister-in-law brought a pizza to my house, and with the pizza, there were some Parmesan cheese packs. Ha was sitting next to me and using the cheese. To me, it smelt awful, but to them, it was delicious.
Even though I have been to the U.S for about 20 years, and I was in Taiwan for less than 19 years (How old am I?) , I still have a Chinese mouth. I don't have problems with most of the American food; however, I still don't have a good feeling about cheese. Does it make by 發霉。。。, too? 唉，我還是想我的臭豆腐。

Small Bed
In the past weekend, my sister, Sophia's family came back from Taiwan and stayed in our house for 3 nights. We had a very good time together. Yesterday, when Hee was home from school at noon, he immediately took off his shoes and ran in the door. When he found that no one was at home, he asked: Where are they? I told him that they went to the airport already, he was a little disappointed because he still wanted to play with Xin and Ai.
During their stay, we thought that it would be good if they could stay in one room, and our master bedroom was the only room which could place an airbed. Since Ha was having a cold, we didn't want to get it from him, so he was in his room alone, and Stephen and I slept in a twin size bed in Hee's room while he was in another one.
Actually, a twin size bed was bigger than we thought. We could have our own space, and we had good-night sleep every night. Monday night, it was our last night sleeping in the small bed together. I asked Stephen: Did you feel any difference in terms of sleeping comfort between twin bed and our own Queen size bed? He said no, and I didn't feel different, either. My next question was: Why do people buy King or Cal-King? S: 打架用； Y:分居。 What else? No more, because both of us fell asleep on the comfortable twin size bed.
Mid night, I woke up to remind Hee to the bathroom, and when I came to the bed, I thanked God that we had a bed to sleep on. When Jesus was born, he didn't even have a bed. Well, He was still a baby. With a cloth wrapped, he might be ok; however, it's a sacrifice for Mary and Joseph. I couldn't imagine that I sleep in a manger. But thank God that he sent the shepherds and wisemen to see Jesus. When Mary and Joseph knew that their child was the Savior, they might feel much better.

翹腿上網椎間盤破裂 取出6公分骨刺
Mr. D, FYI!
失業的陳小姐在家上網找工作，沒想到習慣翹腳的她突然腰酸背痛，完全無法站立，就醫後才發現，原來因為她的姿勢不良，導致椎間盤突出，經過開刀後症狀才舒緩。
盤著腿、翹著腳，33歲的陳小姐因為失業，天天在家上網找工作，但沒想到工作還沒找到，卻突然間腰酸背痛，陳小姐說，「我的腰突然痛到挺不直，那兩隻腳非常的酸，我就有意識到，因為那種痛，不是腰扭到的那種痛，而是整個神經被壓到的那種痛，整隻腳有點像抽筋。」
陳小姐吃了止痛藥，症狀還是沒有改善，就醫後經過核磁共振檢查，才發現陳小姐腰椎第四、第五節椎間盤已經破裂，無法用保守療法，最後利用微創手術，取出6公分大的椎間盤組織。
雙和醫院骨科主任吳興盛指出，「當症狀沒有緩解的時候，不要去做任何不當的扭拉，甚至一些民俗療法，因為可能會讓症狀更加劇。」陳小姐往後無法彎腰提重物，找工作限制更多，對於陳小姐來說真是雪上加霜。
醫師提醒，翹腳、彎腰駝背、長期姿勢不良，都會導致脊椎受力不均而移位，或者是退化，造成椎間盤病變，因此還是少翹腳比較保險。(新聞來源：東森新聞記者徐敬芸、王鎮宇、梁家銘) From http://tw.news.yahoo.com/article/url/d/a/090310/17/1fslf.html

Today, Stephen and I were discussing about "以琳“ because we were not sure where in the Bible mentioned about it. We only knew that it's a place, and it's something about water. When I searched for the answer, I read the following article, and I had more understanding about "以琳“. The article was from http://www.goodtv.com.tw/program_all_text.php?flag=series&filename=UA060
講員：陳希曾 博士系列：天路歷程-曠野42站
一、前言
各位觀眾大家好，我們又來到了『基督徒的成長路』這個單位，基督徒成長路 - 曠野四十二站。我想剛開始的時候，我們還是回到最近很熟悉的四十二站表，從四十二站表裡面，我們知道四十二站可以分做三個階段(第一段，第二段，第三段），我們已經看過了四站：就是疏割、以倘、密奪、瑪拉。
二、第五站-『以琳』
瑪拉可以說是過了紅海以後的第一站，那麼過了瑪拉以後呢？就到了第五站，就是以琳。我們先讀一段的聖經，出埃及記第十五章第二十七節：『他們到了以琳，在那裡有十二股水泉，七十顆棕樹，他們就在那裡的水邊安營。』
這個對他們來講實在是個非常美妙的經歷，因為在曠野裡面已經走了那麼久，在瑪拉又是苦水，幸好 神叫瑪拉變成甜的，但是現在他再往前走，就是再往前走一站的時候，就是『以琳』。那麼以琳的特點是什麼呢？它事實上是沙漠的一個小綠洲，特別在沙漠你會覺得綠洲是格外的可愛，在一片的枯黃當中，你找到了一片的青翠，這就是以琳。那麼以琳的意思就是「棕樹」的意思。就在以琳那裡他們找到十二股的水泉、有七十顆的棕樹。
我們現在稍微看一看這個圖，我們的示意圖就是以琳。這畫就是大概一百年前以琳的風光，所以的的確確那是沙漠中的一個綠洲，那麼再看下面這個皂莢樹，就是我們上一次提到的皂莢樹。我們說皂莢樹遠遠的看過去像傘一樣，一點都不錯，很高的。你現在看不大覺得，它其實很高，而且很多的刺，這個皂莢樹完全是給駱駝吃的，因為駱駝是沙漠之舟嘛！這就是他們的糧食。因為有刺，而駱駝的舌頭是可以、是不怕刺，可是牛和羊就不行了，所以牛和羊不可能和他們競爭，這就是我們所說的皂莢樹。那麼 神就告訴摩西說：『你把樹就丟到水裡面』結果瑪拉苦水就變成甜的了。
然後我們看綠洲，就是那個棕樹，所以大家可以看見沙漠裡面的棕樹，根據聖經告訴我們是七十顆棕樹，當然現在不可能有七十顆棕樹，這個也是我們知道，在曠野裡面他們有很多的旱谷，所謂的旱谷是山谷之類的，那平常有風雨的時候它就有水，它沒有風沒有雨的時候就完全是乾旱的。所以為什麼在曠野容易迷路呢？因為到處都是旱谷，所以你就找不到地方了。那麼這個Gharandel旱谷，實在說來應該就是聖經裡面的瑪拉，所以你帶著嚮導到今天的西乃曠野去，你若問他們以琳在哪裡？他們可能不知道，但是如果你問他們Gharandel旱谷在哪裡？他們大概就曉得，這個也是另外一個角度來看以琳。
三、『泉水』和『棕樹』：作一個合主心意的得勝者
A、--外表表現-『棕樹』 正直、得勝的生命：
那麼下面我想我們就回到聖經，裡面講是有十二股水泉，還有七十顆棕樹，我們知道什麼地方有水泉，你在沙漠裡面就能夠得著供應、得著滋潤，我想這個是很清楚。所以基督徒，許多時候 神把我們帶到以琳，我們看見很多的書房叫做以琳，很多刊物也叫以琳，因為這就代表在曠野的四十二站裡面其中的一站。
那麼這裡面有七十顆棕樹，我們知道棕樹在聖經裡面乃是代表「得勝者」，是個得勝的生命。因為棕樹是筆直筆直的，所以是代表正直的，但是這個棕樹有一個特點，就是它的水、它的根非常的深，它可以一直探到很遠很遠地方的水源，所以以琳就是讓我們知道，基督徒的生命應該是個正直的生命，也是得勝的生命。但是我們這個人能正直不是因為我們正直，是因為我們的根一直深到水源，所以在沙漠上棕樹能夠存在，而且它能長的筆直筆直、可以風吹、可以經過各種的考驗，它仍舊是筆直的。
我們知道在聖經舊約聖殿裡面也有棕樹，那麼大家還記不記得，主耶穌進耶路撒冷的時候他們都拿著棕樹枝，這個就代表得勝。所以基督徒的生命是得勝的生命，但是他得勝的生命的表現是什麼？是正直。所以我們要知道，一個基督徒剛剛蒙恩得救的時候，他一定要學習做個正直的人，因為他裡面的生命就是正直的生命。
B、--得到的秘訣 – 十二股水泉 （根連於水源 - 神）
那一樣問題就是，那裡有沒有十二股水泉？如果有十二股水泉，你知道這七十顆棕樹，它們的根是一直會探到那個水源的，那根是什麼意思呢？根就是看不見的部份。看得見的呢？你看見正直、你看見棕樹；但是你看不見的部份呢？是根所說的。那麼基督徒的秘訣不是叫人看得見的部份，基督徒他的秘訣乃是有一部份是看不見，那一部份只有 神看得見。所以根的部份是人看不見的，如果根很深，而且根能夠探到水源，所以我們暗中有一種生活，那個生活是一直探到水源的，這樣我們這個人才能正直，這樣我們這個人才能夠得勝。
我們聽說這個世界上說「誠實是最好的政策」，就世界來說誠實不過是個政策，在聖經裡面「誠實乃是生命」。一個人不會誠實的，如果他的根不是一直探到水源，是不可能的事情。所以我們知道以琳的經歷就是得勝的經歷，表現在世人面前乃是正直的；從環境來看乾旱，從環境來看，按理來講生命不能夠興旺，但是你看見棕樹仍舊能夠發旺，它的筆直一面代表它的發旺；另一面它表現在人面前是正直的。
所以我們剛剛在初蒙恩的時候，我們要記得就是聖靈會帶領我們，讓我們的根一直探到水源與主有交通，我們常常與主面對面，那這個時候聖靈就可以約束我們了，所以你看見我們就不容易拿世界上的一草和一針和一線。你記不記得，亞伯拉罕他打勝仗回來以後，這個所多瑪願意把一些東西給他，他說不，他說：「我絕不從你手裡拿一針一線，免得人說我是從你那裡得著富足，如果我也富足的話，乃是從世界上的」所以這樣的話，你看就能夠保守基督徒非常非常的正直，所以我們要知道基督徒在地上，給人看見的應該就是以琳經歷所經過的，我們知道這個是第五站。
到了這個經歷你就知道這個基督徒，他天天就過得勝的生活，而得勝生活的秘訣，在這種環境艱苦的環境底下能夠得勝，你看看許多人都做一件事情，比方說大家都這麼做就是你不做，這是個很艱苦的環境，那麼你不做你就定罪給他們，你不做就是等於告訴別人說他們不對你對，那基督徒在這種環境底下怎麼辦呢？許多時候我們也做了，原因就是因為我們沒有活在 神面前。如果我們真的水深到一個地步，在很艱苦的環境底下，我們能夠讓水泉、讓這個根探到水泉，那麼結果在人面前所顯出來的，就是七十顆棕樹。所以這裡記得十二股水泉是源頭，那七十顆棕樹是結果，所以聖經說他們就在那裡的水邊安營。
四、『以琳』的迷思：
現在這裡有個危險，我們知道一個人如果在瑪拉的時候，因為那裡都是苦水，所以他不希望在這待的很久，你不需要催的，沒有多久以後他們就希望能從瑪拉這站出來。但是問題就是，許多時候我們到了以琳這一站，我們就會留戀了，我們會覺得在這裡待的日子愈來愈好、愈久愈好，因為有十二股水泉、有七十顆棕樹，那麼很多基督徒就在這裡失敗了，因為他忘記了以琳不是迦南，離開迦南還很遠呢？這個才是起步，這不過是第五站而己，總共四十二站還有很多功課要學。問題就是今天很多基督徒到了這裡就完了，因為到了這裡他不是沒有見證，是很有見證哦！在世人中間有的人稱他們做聖人。
我還記得我在預備軍官的時候，本來一群同事在那裡講一件事情，結果我一進去他們就不講，我說你們繼續講，他說：「不行，『耶穌迷』來了我們就不能講。」所以我們知道如果今天我們在以琳，我們能過正直的生活、我們能過得勝的生活，但是有一個危險就是我們覺得我們已經到頂了，但是我們沒有想到這還只是第五站，前面還有好多站才到迦南，到了迦南才是流奶與蜜之地。
所以這一點是許多時候基督徒不長進的原因，我們一直留戀昨天的得勝，我們一直記得在以琳有多好，其實以琳是很好，但是瑪拉不能久待，這個以琳也不能久待，所以讓我們記得一定要出去。我們覺得出埃及很容易出去，我們覺得出瑪拉很容易出去，出以琳就很困難了，但是我們還得要往前去，這樣我們才會到了下一站。

各位觀眾大家好，我們又來到了『基督徒的成長路』這個單位，基督徒成長路 - 曠野四十二站。我想剛開始的時候，我們還是回到最近很熟悉的四十二站表，從四十二站表裡面，我們知道四十二站可以分做三個階段(第一段，第二段，第三段），我們已經看過了四站：就是疏割、以倘、密奪、瑪拉。
二、第五站-『以琳』
瑪拉可以說是過了紅海以後的第一站，那麼過了瑪拉以後呢？就到了第五站，就是以琳。我們先讀一段的聖經，出埃及記第十五章第二十七節：『他們到了以琳，在那裡有十二股水泉，七十顆棕樹，他們就在那裡的水邊安營。』
這個對他們來講實在是個非常美妙的經歷，因為在曠野裡面已經走了那麼久，在瑪拉又是苦水，幸好 神叫瑪拉變成甜的，但是現在他再往前走，就是再往前走一站的時候，就是『以琳』。那麼以琳的特點是什麼呢？它事實上是沙漠的一個小綠洲，特別在沙漠你會覺得綠洲是格外的可愛，在一片的枯黃當中，你找到了一片的青翠，這就是以琳。那麼以琳的意思就是「棕樹」的意思。就在以琳那裡他們找到十二股的水泉、有七十顆的棕樹。
我們現在稍微看一看這個圖，我們的示意圖就是以琳。這畫就是大概一百年前以琳的風光，所以的的確確那是沙漠中的一個綠洲，那麼再看下面這個皂莢樹，就是我們上一次提到的皂莢樹。我們說皂莢樹遠遠的看過去像傘一樣，一點都不錯，很高的。你現在看不大覺得，它其實很高，而且很多的刺，這個皂莢樹完全是給駱駝吃的，因為駱駝是沙漠之舟嘛！這就是他們的糧食。因為有刺，而駱駝的舌頭是可以、是不怕刺，可是牛和羊就不行了，所以牛和羊不可能和他們競爭，這就是我們所說的皂莢樹。那麼 神就告訴摩西說：『你把樹就丟到水裡面』結果瑪拉苦水就變成甜的了。
然後我們看綠洲，就是那個棕樹，所以大家可以看見沙漠裡面的棕樹，根據聖經告訴我們是七十顆棕樹，當然現在不可能有七十顆棕樹，這個也是我們知道，在曠野裡面他們有很多的旱谷，所謂的旱谷是山谷之類的，那平常有風雨的時候它就有水，它沒有風沒有雨的時候就完全是乾旱的。所以為什麼在曠野容易迷路呢？因為到處都是旱谷，所以你就找不到地方了。那麼這個Gharandel旱谷，實在說來應該就是聖經裡面的瑪拉，所以你帶著嚮導到今天的西乃曠野去，你若問他們以琳在哪裡？他們可能不知道，但是如果你問他們Gharandel旱谷在哪裡？他們大概就曉得，這個也是另外一個角度來看以琳。
三、『泉水』和『棕樹』：作一個合主心意的得勝者
A、--外表表現-『棕樹』 正直、得勝的生命：
那麼下面我想我們就回到聖經，裡面講是有十二股水泉，還有七十顆棕樹，我們知道什麼地方有水泉，你在沙漠裡面就能夠得著供應、得著滋潤，我想這個是很清楚。所以基督徒，許多時候 神把我們帶到以琳，我們看見很多的書房叫做以琳，很多刊物也叫以琳，因為這就代表在曠野的四十二站裡面其中的一站。
那麼這裡面有七十顆棕樹，我們知道棕樹在聖經裡面乃是代表「得勝者」，是個得勝的生命。因為棕樹是筆直筆直的，所以是代表正直的，但是這個棕樹有一個特點，就是它的水、它的根非常的深，它可以一直探到很遠很遠地方的水源，所以以琳就是讓我們知道，基督徒的生命應該是個正直的生命，也是得勝的生命。但是我們這個人能正直不是因為我們正直，是因為我們的根一直深到水源，所以在沙漠上棕樹能夠存在，而且它能長的筆直筆直、可以風吹、可以經過各種的考驗，它仍舊是筆直的。
我們知道在聖經舊約聖殿裡面也有棕樹，那麼大家還記不記得，主耶穌進耶路撒冷的時候他們都拿著棕樹枝，這個就代表得勝。所以基督徒的生命是得勝的生命，但是他得勝的生命的表現是什麼？是正直。所以我們要知道，一個基督徒剛剛蒙恩得救的時候，他一定要學習做個正直的人，因為他裡面的生命就是正直的生命。
B、--得到的秘訣 – 十二股水泉 （根連於水源 - 神）
那一樣問題就是，那裡有沒有十二股水泉？如果有十二股水泉，你知道這七十顆棕樹，它們的根是一直會探到那個水源的，那根是什麼意思呢？根就是看不見的部份。看得見的呢？你看見正直、你看見棕樹；但是你看不見的部份呢？是根所說的。那麼基督徒的秘訣不是叫人看得見的部份，基督徒他的秘訣乃是有一部份是看不見，那一部份只有 神看得見。所以根的部份是人看不見的，如果根很深，而且根能夠探到水源，所以我們暗中有一種生活，那個生活是一直探到水源的，這樣我們這個人才能正直，這樣我們這個人才能夠得勝。
我們聽說這個世界上說「誠實是最好的政策」，就世界來說誠實不過是個政策，在聖經裡面「誠實乃是生命」。一個人不會誠實的，如果他的根不是一直探到水源，是不可能的事情。所以我們知道以琳的經歷就是得勝的經歷，表現在世人面前乃是正直的；從環境來看乾旱，從環境來看，按理來講生命不能夠興旺，但是你看見棕樹仍舊能夠發旺，它的筆直一面代表它的發旺；另一面它表現在人面前是正直的。
所以我們剛剛在初蒙恩的時候，我們要記得就是聖靈會帶領我們，讓我們的根一直探到水源與主有交通，我們常常與主面對面，那這個時候聖靈就可以約束我們了，所以你看見我們就不容易拿世界上的一草和一針和一線。你記不記得，亞伯拉罕他打勝仗回來以後，這個所多瑪願意把一些東西給他，他說不，他說：「我絕不從你手裡拿一針一線，免得人說我是從你那裡得著富足，如果我也富足的話，乃是從世界上的」所以這樣的話，你看就能夠保守基督徒非常非常的正直，所以我們要知道基督徒在地上，給人看見的應該就是以琳經歷所經過的，我們知道這個是第五站。
到了這個經歷你就知道這個基督徒，他天天就過得勝的生活，而得勝生活的秘訣，在這種環境艱苦的環境底下能夠得勝，你看看許多人都做一件事情，比方說大家都這麼做就是你不做，這是個很艱苦的環境，那麼你不做你就定罪給他們，你不做就是等於告訴別人說他們不對你對，那基督徒在這種環境底下怎麼辦呢？許多時候我們也做了，原因就是因為我們沒有活在 神面前。如果我們真的水深到一個地步，在很艱苦的環境底下，我們能夠讓水泉、讓這個根探到水泉，那麼結果在人面前所顯出來的，就是七十顆棕樹。所以這裡記得十二股水泉是源頭，那七十顆棕樹是結果，所以聖經說他們就在那裡的水邊安營。
四、『以琳』的迷思：
現在這裡有個危險，我們知道一個人如果在瑪拉的時候，因為那裡都是苦水，所以他不希望在這待的很久，你不需要催的，沒有多久以後他們就希望能從瑪拉這站出來。但是問題就是，許多時候我們到了以琳這一站，我們就會留戀了，我們會覺得在這裡待的日子愈來愈好、愈久愈好，因為有十二股水泉、有七十顆棕樹，那麼很多基督徒就在這裡失敗了，因為他忘記了以琳不是迦南，離開迦南還很遠呢？這個才是起步，這不過是第五站而己，總共四十二站還有很多功課要學。問題就是今天很多基督徒到了這裡就完了，因為到了這裡他不是沒有見證，是很有見證哦！在世人中間有的人稱他們做聖人。
我還記得我在預備軍官的時候，本來一群同事在那裡講一件事情，結果我一進去他們就不講，我說你們繼續講，他說：「不行，『耶穌迷』來了我們就不能講。」所以我們知道如果今天我們在以琳，我們能過正直的生活、我們能過得勝的生活，但是有一個危險就是我們覺得我們已經到頂了，但是我們沒有想到這還只是第五站，前面還有好多站才到迦南，到了迦南才是流奶與蜜之地。
所以這一點是許多時候基督徒不長進的原因，我們一直留戀昨天的得勝，我們一直記得在以琳有多好，其實以琳是很好，但是瑪拉不能久待，這個以琳也不能久待，所以讓我們記得一定要出去。我們覺得出埃及很容易出去，我們覺得出瑪拉很容易出去，出以琳就很困難了，但是我們還得要往前去，這樣我們才會到了下一站。

What to do when it's wet outside
It's been raining for almost a week, and I'm thinking of making the best use of the rain.
This two days, I started to pull out the weeds in our backyard. The weeds have been growing so tall during the winter, and I have to 宣示主權 that "This is my house!" It's great to pull out the weeds when the soil was wet, and I was able to do it 5 or 6 times faster than when I was dealing with the hard, dry soil.
Also, since my car was already wet anyways, I gave it an easy car wash, and it saved me some water and energy.
Since we can't change the situation that we face, why don't we make the best use of it?

Taiwan Trip＃6: Airplane and Airport
Ha and Hee have already started planning our Taiwan trip for next year, and one of the "must" is to ride EVA Airplane.
This time, we took EVA 777 to and from Taiwan. Personally, I didn't like the meals as much as before; however, the thing that I liked and Ha liked was individual interacting monitors. Each person has his own monitor and remote control (We were in Economy Class), and we could choose to watch more than 20 or 30 movies, about 10 TV shows, around 10 different games (Chinese chess, 麻將，大老二，五子棋。。。）children's programs and many other things that I hadn't had time to watch. For those TV programs or movies, we could pause, or rewind or fast forward at any time, and we could watch it as many times as we wanted, so it didn't feel long for the 12-hour flying. Ha liked to listen to the music channel while watching the airplane navigator, and Hee liked to play games. Anyways, we all had fun on the airplane. However, sleeping was necessary, too, and we all slept for some time on the plane. (Ha and Hee had slept for around 6-7 hours, not bad!) They both behaved very well on the plane, so I enjoyed my trip very much.
I liked Taiwan's 桃園airport. I walked around while Ha and Hee were watching cartoons in the Hello Kitty 候機室。 The airport was clean and 很有臺灣味。I loved it!

Ha's Science Fair
Yesterday(3/2) was the first annual science fair at Ha's school. At the end of January, we knew about the science fair, and I wanted to encourage Ha to participate. It was not an easy job for me because the participation is voluntary, and Ha hated to do any extra work unless it's necessary; moreover, the students need to present their projects to classmates, other kids and other parents, and Ha was not comfortable at doing it. I tried hard to talk him into it, and he agreed to do a project, but he still didn't want to say a word in front of people on the science fair day, and I told him that it's up to him. As long as he agreed to do some work, it's better than nothing. I helped him to think of some ideas,(we didn't want to choose the topics from the books, but we wanted to do our originals which he would be interested) and he chose that he wanted to do an experiment about the relationship between battery's life and size. With my Dad's help, he got a good battery/lighbulbs layout board, and he did the experiment by himself after we came back from Taiwan.
Doing the experiment and recording the results were not very hard for him, but making a display board was a challenge. I was afraid that he would refuse to write so many words because writing was not one of his favorites. However, things went better than I thought. Ha and I discussed what to write, and I taught him how to spell, and he seemed to be interested in doing his work to write and to decorate the board.
On the day of science fair, I didn't mention anything about presentation; instead, I told him that he would be good at showing people how his project works by connecting the lightbulbs and batteries which he had no problem doing it.
In the afternoon, when I went to pick him up, he told me that people asked him questions about his project, and he answered them, and he wanted to go there at night for the whole hour to answer more questions. (previously, he planned to go to the keyboard class from 5:45 to 6:30 and then go to science fair, which was from 6pm to 7pm) It's a good opportunity to strengthen his ability to communicate with people, so I talked to his keyboard teacher that he couldn't be in class this week.
In the science fair, I didn't stick with him; instead, I walked around to see other people's projects while my eyes were on Ha from time to time. I saw people going by his display and talking to him, and I saw him answering the questions, too. He was excited about the science fair, and he would like to participate again next year.
To me, the whole thing was like a miracle, a mission impossible, but we did it. Ha is a sensitive kid, so I was 戒慎恐懼，moving slowly at each step because I knew that if he had a bad feeling about this science fair, he wouldn't participate any more in the future; on the other hand, if he did good on this one, it would be a huge encouragement to him to move forward. Thank God for giving me enough wisdom and strengh on the process of guiding him through this science fair. I'm so glad that they only have the science fair once a year, so I can take a little break.

Taiwan Trip＃5：老家
Every time when I went back to Taiwan, I liked to check how our old house and the environment changed. When we went back on 2004, we spent most of our time in 宜蘭, and we didn't go to Taipei until the day that we left for the U.S.; therefore, I didn't get a chance to go to my old house. This time, I wasn't sure if I would find some time to go, either.
On Wed. morning, I went to meet my friend in 忠孝新生捷運站， and the rest of the family would have a lunch with uncle in 新店， so I told them that I wouldn't have the lunch with them. 忠孝新生捷運站 is only 2 stops away from my neighborhood, 中山國中捷運站， so after my friend left for work, I took the 捷運 and bus to my old house. Here it is:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=R8D5hTaFK1Y
I spent most of my childhood in this neighborhood except for 1 or 2 years in 仁愛路。 The park was different from what I remembered, but the rest were still very similar to the old time. I also went to my 小學，and I saw many parents waiting outside for picking up their children. When we were young, we used to go home by ourselves. Is the 治安getting worse?
I was so glad to see our old house again. it's like my root, and I felt so comfortable to walk around there.
