The flower stood in the midst of the field. As the wind blew, the flower swayed to the rhythm. And the flower fell into bits and pieces of its memory. It still remember the days when there will be a butterfly which will frequently fly past and ocassionally pay a visit to the flower. The butterfly was gorgeous and the flower was deeply attracted to it. But not long after, the butterfly flew by lesser and eventually it disappeared. The flower was disappointed and waited day after day, hoping that it will have a glance of the butterfly. And again it was disappointed. And its memory of the butterfly is also fading but it still refuse to give up. Meanwhile in this tiring waiting, the flower was also visited by this bee, a hardworking and talented bee. Everyday, without fail, the bee will pay a visit to the flower. The flower is amazed by the capability of the bee. However, its memory of the butterfly, though vague, is still holding on to the flower. What should the flower do?
Haha! Lousy story telling, tat's wat i can say! Muahahahahha. Anyway do you want to know the ending of the flower? It ended up as one of the flower in a bouquet for Valentines' Day. Muahahahaahahahha!
It's a long time since i blog. Busy? Nah! Nothing to blog! Nope, in fact i have many things, too much until i just dun wan to blog. haha! Many ideas and things have gone thru my mind but i doubt i will put everything up. Maybe just these few things. I have recently watched this movie, I not stupid too! A local product and i have to say it's a well-done job. Got depth and yet the humor was good. I truly enjoyed it. I won't narrate the movie so if you wan to know the story, go watch it for yourselves. However, in the show it had some phrases which i tot was pretty meaningful.
1) In this world, there are no unteachable children but rather parents who do not know how to teach.
I'm sure many of you will be quick to agree with me. I truly agree with this statement but den on the flip side, I rather see it in the point of the parents. Parents have their constraints as well. Most of our parents have gone thru a total different style of up-bringing. Their parents are more conservative and discipline is a key element in their growing up. No nonsense and if failed, Mr Rotan goes to the flesh. So inevitably, they have been trained to 'educate' us in this manner. Are they wrong? yes and no. Yes becoz violence is no way to resolve problems but den no is becoz there are times when discipline has to be instilled in them in the form of punishment. The pain is not to humiliate them but to let them feel the pain and be reminded of the wrongdoings. And most importantly, after the punishment, proper counselling has to be done. Explain to the kids why they were punished. My early childhood was terrifying to a certain extent. Cane was not used. My dad prefer to use something that is more durable and not cost him extra cent to get it. His belt. Any wrongdoing is dealt with reprimand and if not Mr Belt. I thank God he didn't whip us senselessly. It was painful but it serves as a warning to me. I dun blame him for belting me but he doesn't explain why he punish. He just say dun i ever do it again. It left a lot of unanswered questions and I thank God that He answer all these or else i believe i would have become a very bittered person. So as children, we have to understand that our parents have their constraints. And as parents, they have to understand that the world is always changing and many things cannot be dealt using the old ways. The issues of parents-child cannot be dealt with overnight but my advise is to 'communicate' and not just talk but be constructive. Also my dear frens, one day you will be a parent too. How are you going to 'educate' your child? Honestly, i see many younger generations who are doing the opposite of wat their parents are doing. They liberised their children. Do what ever you want. Ai yoh!
2) He (father) loves you so much until he(father) doesn't know how to love you
Paradox. Maybe but it makes so much sense. The story was abt this ex-hooligan father who love his son so much but seeing tat his son is interested in martial arts, he helplessly used violence to deter him. Sometimes, when we love one so much, we unknowingly do things that actually hurt them more. There are many scenarios. I think one good example is if you know your kid is stealing or into drugs, would you report them to the authority. I hope i will but it is going to be a tough decision. Or if you love your kid so much, will you give your kid everything he ask? What is love? That's something for us to really think about.
ai yah! Actually got one more phrase but i can't remember. Jia lat. Getting old. I'm 25 this year. ARRRRGGGGGGGGGGHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!
