Banana & Isaac & Mandarin

Isaac likes bananas very much. One day I told him something and made him change his mind...

One day, I took a book and read to Isaac. I showed him a banana.

Then I asked, "Which animals love bananas?"

Isaac answered, "Monkey lol!!"

I asked, "Who love bananas too?"

Isaac answered, "Me!"

Then I said, "So you Are a monkey because monkey likes bananas and you like bananas too..."

Isaac said, "nononono... I am not a monkey la....."

That's end our conversation of that day...

The next day at lunch time, Isaac told me that he did not like bananas anymore. I was wondering... Then he told me that he likes mandarin now because monkey doesn't like mandarin. I smiled at him and gave him a banana and a mandarin to choose. What do you think he will choose??

Our Bird Bird passed away

We had Bird Bird for 5 1/2 years. It flew to our backyard in June 2003. At that time, it was so tired and could not move. Andrew picked it up and covered it with a milk case and gave it some water to drink. I was carrying Eunice in my tummy. I never had a pet before and I felt so special with a new baby and new pet at the same time. After having Bird Bird, we had to buy a cage, bird seeds, some decoration etc... It has been our family members since then. Eunice and Isaac were so happy to have Bird Bird. Sometimes they went to the cage and talked to it or sang a song to it or scolded it... but Eunice and Isaac always remember to remind me to feed Bird Bird especially when we bought some fresh vegetables. Bird Bird loved vegetables leaves.

When I opened the cover of the cage on Dec 31, 08, it laid flat on the cage ground. I was so surprised and sad. We knew that the life span of this kind of bird is about 6-7 years. I did not expect the time was really here without any sign. I finally picked it up and put it in a Christmas tin. With Eunice and Isaac we prayed a short prayer. Eunice and Isaac asked many questions such as why would Bird Bird die; where was Bird Bird now; when would it come back; is it with God and Angels and Jesus and Godfather Garry???????

After Bird Bird passed away, Eunice drew a few pictures with it in our family. Isaac asked me whether we could buy 2 Bird Bird (one in blue and one in green).

It reflects me how precious to spend the time now with family members especially you don't know when will the "time" comes. No one knows only God know. By the grace of God, we live each day and I should make use of it.
