小妞妞的绵羊 Baa Baa Black Sheeps

2018年5月30日, 星期三, 晚8.00

“哎呀，你看妹妹把这些墙纸粘歪了。”妈咪觉得有点懊恼，心想或许刚才我应该自己动手做就好，不必让小妞妞参与。

“不是啦，妈咪，那三只绵羊是站在斜坡上啦。”小北格说。

“呵呵，说得也对。”一下之让妈咪释怀了。

真的很佩服小北格的想象力和童真，他总是可以在妈咪为了小事执着中，给妈咪满满的正能量。谢谢你，小北格。

“Aiya, see, the wall art papers stuck by your little sister a bit skew.”  Mommy was trapped in the feeling of inadequate, thinking maybe I should do it by myself instead of getting Little NiuNiu involved just now.

“No la, Mommy, the three baa baa are standing on the slope. See, like that!.” Little Peke said.

“haha, true also.” I was delighted by his answer. What’s a smart statement he had made!

Sometimes, I really admire of Little Peke’s imagination and innocence. He always can provide me some positive energy when Mommy is obsessed over small things.

Thank you very much, Little Peke.

You&Me Testimonial 见证

23th September 2013, Monday, 4.00pm- Peke is 3 years and 9 months old.

Time to go to school, Little Xiang Aun is jumping around and can’t wait for a few second to go to You&Me Centre. I couldn’t imagine, just early of this year (We haven’t got to know You&Me Centre during that time), Little Xiang Aun was having psychological barriers to attend the pre-school after he had went through a horrible experience with the then pre-school. Thence, pre-school becomes a dreadful place for him, just like a prison.

Luckily, we have found You&Me Centre! When we approached the centre, Teacher Sharon & Teacher May were very helpful. They were willing to affiliate with us in order to help Little Xiang Aun to conquer his inner fear about schooling. With their patient and love, together with the centre special methods, Little Xiang Aun slowly mixed himself with the centre activities. And now, he is falling in love for the centre!

Follow by this, we found Little Xiang Aun’s interaction with the children that same ages with him had marked a lot of improvement also, particularly his body language towards his mates.

Little Xiang Aun does benefit from the centre principal that every child’s brain ability to absorb knowledge is different.  We were delight with the way Teacher Sharon and Teacher Lee guide and teach their students during a dialogue section with them.

All the most, now this little boy loves schooling so much, apparently You&Me Centre programs let him full of expectation.

上学的时间到了，看着小祥安蹦蹦跳跳，迫不及待的样子。我无法想象在今年年头（当时还未接触You&Me中心），他在当时的幼儿园高兴了三天之后，发生了一些意外后，就对当时的幼儿园产生极端的恐惧。从此，幼儿园对他而言根本是个可怕的地方，就和坐牢差不多。

还好，我们之后接触到You&Me中心。中心的负责人Teacher Sharon 和Teacher May非常乐意配合家属协助小祥安克服上幼儿园的心理障碍。在中心老师们的耐心和爱心，配上中心本身独具一方的方法夹攻下，小小祥安终于逐步融入中心的生活，并爱上了You&Me中心。

小祥安的突破，我们都非常开心。随之而来，我们也发现小祥安和同龄小孩的互动都有明显改善，尤其是在肢体语言方面。除此之外，  You&Me中心秉持每个小孩的脑力都是与众不同，并因才施教的方法，也让小祥安受益良多。

最重要的是，现在这小子超爱上学，显然他对You&Me中心未来的生活充满着期待。



Final version which has published at You&Me official Facebook Page, the complete testimonial is as below:

Back in January 2013, Little Xiang Aun went through a difficult and traumatic phase of his pre-school life. He was struggling to interact with his class mates and teacher. He was also insecure and requires hhis grandparent’s presence during schooling hour. To make matters worse, on the 4tg day of his school, he was bitten on the face by one of his classmate. Due to this, he refused to attend school and develop fear for other children.

In the hour of agony and frustration, we come across You&Me Centre. In the first weeks, the patience and love of Teacher May and Teacher Sharon help him slowly conquer his fear about attending school.
He also benefits from You&Me’s unique program that recognize every child’s brain ability to absorb knowledge is different. We were delight with the way Teacher Sharon and Teacher Lee guide and teach their students during a parent’s dialogue session.

Now we found Little Xiang Aun’s interaction with children same as his age had improved remarkably particularly his body language towards his classmate. In fact, he is looking forward to attend school every day even when he is sick.

Durian King 猫山王

3^rd September 2013, Monday, 9pm- Peke is 3 years and 8 months old.

My Mom and Dad bought us the Durian King from Jenjarom.

After dinner, Hubby asked Little Peke whether he was interested about it; he said he was fine with it.

Just past few weeks ago, Little Peke first time ever tried the durian. When Hubby just nipped some durian and put into his mouth, immediately he split out and said: “Very smelly, I don’t want already.” Tonight, unexpected, he said he wanted to give a try again.

When Hubby and Grandpa squatted in front of main door, eating the durian, Little Peke also sat there and joined the crowd. This time, Hubby didn’t expect much that Litle Peke will eat the durian, however, as courtesy, he still asked Little Peke whether want to eat durian and nipped some durian, putting into his mouth. This time, he didn’t split out. Hubby nipped for him till fourth time then only Little Peke said doesn’t want and enough for him. May be Little Peke favors about Durian King only?

When Little Peke found his Grandma was still busy in the kitchen and didn’t join the crowd. He quickly run to the kitchen and called: “Popo, please go to eat durian, everybody is there. Come.”

Somehow, Little Peke let me feel he is such a kind heart kid!

猫山王

外公外婆又买榴莲来了，是猫山王的品种也。

晚膳后，老公问北格要不要吃榴莲，北格回答说要
。
我想起几个星期前，北格第一次吃榴莲时，果肉才放入口里，他就立刻吐了，并说：“很臭臭，不要了。”就跑到远远躲起来了。现在，他竟然还说要吃。

老公和家公尊在家门口前剖榴莲，北格也在一边凑热闹。这一次，老公也没特别要他品尝榴莲，虽然北格已经回答他要吃。因此，老公又随口再问他要不要吃榴莲，就捏了一小口的果肉放入北格的口中。结果出乎意料，这一次，他没吐出来了。接下来，老公又给他吃了几口，他也是吞了下去，直到第四次，他才说够了，不要了，然后跑了。猫山王榴莲果然不一样啊！

后来，北格发现唯独他婆婆还在厨房忙着整理，没有出来吃榴莲，他又跑到厨房去，大喊：“婆婆,please go to eat durian, everybody is there. Come。”硬要揪他的婆婆坐在家门口那儿，他才罢休。

我觉得北格是个好善良的孩子。

Mommy, shame shame. 妈咪，羞羞。

2nd September 2013, Monday, 9.30pm- Peke is 3 years and 8 months old.

Before slept, I set off part of my clothes of my big belly to feel the fetal movement. I found the baby is very active tonight, so I asked my hubby come and join me to feel the wonderful of the fetal movement.

 Little Peke was sitting next to us, he said: “ Mommy, I want to sayang baby also.” He gently stroke my belly, giving the baby a kiss, with the hand pick up part of clothe and said: “Mommy, cover cover, shame shame.”

Little Peke is such a lovely boy.

临睡前，我掀起肚皮部位的衣服，抚摸着八个月大的肚子，感觉胎动。我发现胎儿今晚动得蛮频密，就叫老公也来感受一下胎动的美妙。

北格坐在一旁看，也说：“妈咪，I want to sayang baby also。”他伸手在肚皮上抚摸了几下，又轻轻吻了肚皮后,手拿起我的衣角说：“Mommy, cover cover, shame shame。”这小子，真可爱。

 

Use my Tunnel 请用我的隧道

1^ST September 2013, Sunday, 10pm- Peke is 3 years and 8 months old.

Hubby was watching football live telecast at downstairs living room.

Little Peke insisted his father came upstair, then only he agreed to sleep. He shouted over upstairs: “Daddy, please come up stair and sleep. I am tired already.”

Hubby said: “You sleep first; I will come after finish watching my football.”Little Peke was so reluctant, he asked my help to open the upstairs security door, and he wanted to go downstairs and pulled his father upstairs.

Down the stairs, I felt a bit hungry, so I made myself a cup of milo and took some biscuit to eat. When Little Peke and hubby already went upstairs, again Little Peke walked downstairs to ask me go upstairs with him after he found I did not follow them go upstairs.

After washed the cup, my hands were so wet. Thus, I told Little Peke: “My hands were so wet and I am not able to hold your hand to go upstairs. So can you walk upstairs yourself and be more watchful? I will follow behind you.”

Little Peke said: “Use my tunnel.”

I felt a little confused, what was the relevant between the wet hands and the tunnel? But I did not think too much about this, just kept asking him to be careful on the stairs.

After entered the bedroom, I was sitting on the chair, Little Peke took his towel, holding my hands and wipe my hands said: “Use my towel.”

I felt so touching with Little Peke kind heart.

Just now, it was my own misheard only.

2013年9月1日，北格3岁又8个月, 星期日, 晚10.00 

老公在楼下追看足球赛直播。

北格非要老公上楼来,他才肯睡。他站在楼梯口喊到: “Daddy, please come up stair and sleep. I am tired already.”

老公回话说: “You sleep first, I will come after finish watching my football.”北格还是不甘愿,他要求我打开楼上的安全门,自己下楼揪他爸爸上来。

下了楼,由于我肚子有点饿,就冲了杯美禄搭配饼干充饥。北格和老公上楼不久后, 发现我并没有一起上楼, 又下来要我一起上楼睡觉。

我洗好杯子,双手很湿,没办法牵北格的手,只好对他说: “妈妈的手很湿,没办法牵你的手一起上楼去,你自己要小心,好吗?”

北格回答: “Use my tunnel.”

我觉得有点疑惑,心想:手湿和隧道有什么关联呢? 我并没有想太多,只是一再叮咛他小心上楼梯。

进了房间,才坐在椅子上,北格拿起他的毛巾,一边牵起我的手说: “Use my towel.”一边帮我抹湿了的双手时,我觉得好贴心和感动。

原来是我自己听错了。

 

 

When Chinese Earth God (Di Zhu) met Little Peke 当我家的地主遇上北格

20^th May 2013, Monday- Peke is 3 years and 6 months old.

After dinner, Peke’s Daddy came upstair and told me: “Peke’s Mamma, you know, it is very difficult to deal with your son.”

I asked: “What happen?”

Peke’s Daddy said: “Just now when Peke passed by the Earth God Altar, he used his leg and kicked the New Year Cake (Nian Gao) in front of the altar purposely.”

Peke’s Dad quickly stopped Peke to do that and said: “Peke, don’t do that. This is wrong. You don’t afraid of Oya (refer to Di Zhu) scold scold you?”

Peke said: “ Oya does not have mouth one.”

Such an uppity kid!

2013年5月20日，北格3岁又6个月。

晚膳后，北格爸爸一上楼，劈口就对我说：“北格妈妈，你儿子真难对付啊。”

我接着问：“发生了什么事？”

北格爸爸说：“刚才我和北格要上来楼上时，经过地主牌前面，你知道吗？这小子竟然用他的脚去踢地主牌前面的年糕。”

北格爸爸立刻喝止他这样的行为，并说：“北格，不准这样做。这是不对的。难道你不怕Oya责骂你吗？”

北格回答说：“Oya 没有嘴巴的。”

真是个不知天高地厚的小子啊！

Little friendship through Oppa Gangnam Style 江南式的友情篇

Peke is 3 years and3 months old.

Last Friday evening (1^st of March), when we were having our dinner, Peke suddenly said: “Apa gana stal.”

 I couldn’t understand what he was trying to tell. So I asked Peke if he could repeat what he said just now.

Again, I heard “Apa gana stal.”

I could only catch the first word “Apa” which I assumed is Bahasa Melayu, means “What”.

Then, I asked Peke Poh Poh (Granny): “What does he said? I only heard “Apa”?”

Peke Poh Poh said: “This Whole day after he backs from centre, he keeps telling apa gana stal. I also don’t know what he said. He seems like speak Bahasa Melayu.”

Peke Daddy said: “The centre starts to teach them Bahasa Melayu. This is not bad.”

Peke Poh Poh agreed with Peke Daddy.

I am so curious. Is this so called “Magic”? We just sent Peke to centre for 2 months; he already can say a full sentence of Bahasa Melayu? A language that we totally do not speak to him since he was born and almost zero exposes.

After finished dinner, I chit chat with Peke at the living room: “Peke, what is Apa gana stal? Teacher Lee teaches you at the centre there?”

Peke said: “The boy say Aun Aun, Apa ganam stal.”

Ahar…..finally Mommy knew what was Peke trying to tell.

There was a boy from his centre who called Peke to watch him demonstrated the Oppa Gangnam Style.

So I asked Peke: “What is the boy name?”

Peke said: “The boy.”

Well, Peke only knows how to address his classmates name by The Boy and The Girl.

Peke Daddy start to worry, so he said: “Can you ask the boy what is his name?”

Peke said “The boy said Apa gana stal.” Haha

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------Monday evening (4^th of March), when I bathed for Peke, Peke said “Apa gana stal.” He was so fascinated about Oppa gangnam style.

I asked Peke: “So what is the boy’s name?”

Peke said : “Jim.”

Jim is his first classmate name he knows since he was born.

北格三岁三个月大。

星期五（三月一日）的傍晚，大家围坐在白色大理石的饭桌享用晚餐，北格突然说：“Apa gana stal.”

我不明白那是什么意思，所以要求北格再说一遍。

结果，我还是听到一样的东西，：“Apa gana stal.”

我想北格所说的“Apa ”应该是马来话，意指“什么”，后面两句就完全毫无头绪。

于是，我问北格婆婆，：“北格再说什么，我只知道他讲了一句，Apa。”

北格婆婆说：“今天，他从中心回来后，就不停的说 “Apa gana stal”。我也不懂是什么。有点像马来话。”

北格爸爸说：“那很好啊，中心开始教他们马来语了。”

北格婆婆也认同爸爸，应该是中心教北格说的。

这难道是魔术吗？北格才去中心两个月而已，就可以说一小段的马来句子，好神奇耶。况且，打从他出世至今，我们从没用过马来语和他沟通，他对马来语也是零接触的。

用膳后，我又问北格：“Apa gana stal是什么意思呢？是不是李老师教你新的东西呢？”

北格回答：“那个男孩说，安安，Apa gana stal。”

啊哈，我灵光一闪，终于抓到这句话的意思了。北格是指中心那儿有个男孩叫北格看他表演当今红遍全球的跳马舞，Oppa Gangnam Style。

我接着问北格：“那男孩叫什么名字？”

北格说：“那个男孩。”

之前，北格很少接触外面的人，平时我们夫妻俩上班，他就只是和他的公公婆婆在家。现在，他还不懂如何称呼他的同学，只知道他们是男孩和女孩。

北格爸爸又开始担心了，他对北格说：“你可不可以问问那个男孩叫什么名字吗？”

北格回答：“那个男孩说Apa gana stal。”太可爱了。

――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――

星期一（三月四日）的傍晚，我帮北格洗澡时，他又说：“Apa gana stal。”他超爱这骑马舞！

我接着问他：“那个男孩叫什么名字？”

北格回答说：“Jim。”

Jim是北格上中心后，第一位结识的同学。
