'震'驚-四川
Took the below pics & wordings from a forwarded email. I try translate in English for some who are not well-versed in chinese.
當我看到這張照片，我的鼻子酸了，我的眼睛紅了，眼淚出來了......這些都是孩子啊！他們都有父母，我也做孩子的父親。孩子，你們可知道你們的父母在尋在你們嗎？
或許，孩子們的父母已經沒有能力救孩子了，在這場地震中，死傷無數，血流成河，
天地萬物已經徹底摧毀。昨夜、今夜、明夜，四川是孤獨的、寂寞的......
When i look at the above pic, i was totally touched.. my eyes turn red.. tears start flowing out.. These are children! They have mums and dads! I, myself is a child's parent. Child, do u know your parents are searching for u? Or perhaps your parents already suffer the same fate as you. In this earthquake, lot of casulties, and blood has flowed to form river. Everything has been destroy. Yesterday, Today, Tomorrow, Sichuan will be lonely....
沒有人理我 雖然我在路中間 因為我的衣服很破很髒
我也不會理會別人
因為我已經沒感覺了。。。。。。.
Nobody going to bother abt my existence, even if i sleep in the middle of the road.
Because my clothes are torn and dirty
I'm not going to bother about others too
Because i lose my feelings.....
這些天地最聰明的生物，為什麼人們不理解？These are the smartest creatures on earth, and why didn't anyone notice about them?
親愛的溫總理撿起一個書包和鞋子，可是東西的主人呢？ 溫總理在呼喊。。。。。。 President Wen picked up a bag and a shoe, but where's the owner?
President is calling for u....
誰是孩子的父母？？？ 有人答應嗎？？？ 沒有人理會護士的呼喊，孩子的父母也許已經永遠聽不到呼喊了。。。Is she the parent of the child???
Anybody going to answer me???
Nobody going to answer me, because the parents may not be alive to hear my callings anymore...
我的孩子呢。。。。 父親淚流滿面、呆呆地站著
我現在也一樣。。。。。。
Where's my child?
Dad's tears filled his whole face, waiting for miracle...
So am i....
我要出來，我想讀書。。。 誰能救我。。。
I want to come out, I want to study...
Who can come help me...
我是一名孤獨的守望者，守望者親人、朋友、鄰居。。。 我要看好他們，他們怕孤獨。。。
I'm a lonely watcher, watching over my relatives, friends, neighbours...
I'm a lonely watcher, watching over my relatives, friends, neighbours...
I want to accompany them, as they are scared of loneliness...
孩子的雙手和熟睡樣子一樣The pair of children hands looks the same like when they were sleeping.
孩子的書本已經髒了 都是年少正風華，都是天真浪漫時，很多路程你們還沒走，
很多事情還沒有經歷過，雖小小年少，卻都是歷經了幼兒園、學前班和小學、
中學無盡的課業，等待你們的應該是生活張開溫暖的懷抱，不應是轟隆一聲巨響。
孩子，孩子，可憐的孩子，都是獨生子女、爸媽和親人的心頭肉，你這一去，
叫人怎麼活。孩子，可憐的孩子，睡吧，安靜地睡吧，夢中沒有恐懼沒有苦難，
就讓我的淚水送你安息，可憐的小傢伙......

The kids' books are wet. All of them are energytic youth, with long bright future to experience... Besides studying kindergarten, primary, secondary schools, you still have a long way to go, and not the sudden experience of earthquake.
Children, children, pityful children, all came from single-child families, Dad & Mum's sweetheart, your sudden death, how to make your parents live on?
Children, pityful children, sleep well & rest in peace, your dreams will no longer be filled with fear and torture, let our tears send you up to heaven. What a pityful children...
四川汶川地震發生后，北川縣北川中學六至七層高的主教學樓塌陷，當時正值上課時間，21個教室裡師生約1000人，除個別逃生以外，
大部分被掩埋在瓦礫堆中。
During the Sichuan Earthquake, South Sichuan which has schools with six to seven storey high, were having classes. 21 schools with approx. 1000 teachers and students, who have either escape alive, or dead under the collapsed buildings.

Below is my re-call of my last mth trip:
On our way down from Jiuzhaigou, as we past thru some villages to Chengdu, Sichuan. I saw many lovely students who have finished school... walking happily along the side of the road.. chewing ice-cream bars & eating snacks, chit-chatting while walking home from school... They are so lovely...
And during that time, i was happily admiring and laughing, wondering how come the new-born babies clothes have their private parts open? for air-ing? or for easy clearance when passing motion? Are these babies n parents still alive???
Those babies in the high mountains are wearing thick winter clothing and their red cheeks make them super-lovely.. are they safe and alive???
And the adults who are happily playing table pool and mahjongs at the side of the streets...
Are all of you still alive? Are your relatives, friends & neighbours alive???

New Words
Ah boy is learning new words. I'm proud to announce he can say the following words:
Mama, Papa, Ah pa, Ah ma, Apple, Banana (Be -na), Bao Bei, Baby, Ah bei, Bao Bao (Carry), Nan-nan (Milk), milk, mom mom (food)...
And when we show him picture of (red) peach, he insists it is apple, and flip to the apple page to show his ah ma. Is he smart? or stubborn? Refusing to learn the word "Peach" becoz it look like Apple! Or showing to his ah ma that it is Apple, not peach as what ah ma has pronounced...
I signed him up for the shishida school.. which my hb has jokingly claim as "eat-shit-da school". Hope he doesnt teach ah boy the wrong pronunciation! Anyway, the wait for him to admit is 6 - 8 MONTHS long. By then he properly aged 2+... wat a long wait? Studies has shown that their right brain learning skill will slow down fr age 3 onwards, so will it be too late to send him there by then?

It's a long wait.. for my posting?
Haha~!
Firstly, i should bless all gods out there that both me and hb have returned safely to Sgp. And that my son will not become an orphan. I'm not cursing myself or wat.. but we are very glad to return safely despite the dangerous winding curvy roads, and of coz the Sichuan Earthquake.
The earthquake juz happen 8 days after we returned. And we went to jiu zhai gou, mt. emei, doujiangyan, chengdu, all inside Sichuan. So if the earthquake had happen 8days earlier, we will be stuck in chengdu, dead or alive unknown lor... my son will be become orphan at such a young age.. isnt it sad?
I'm very affected by the china earthquake, and is very sad to read abt news on the children dead or injured by the damaged buildings. And children become orphans.. I even feel like adopting them n giving them loves and cares. And the parents who lose their children in this disaster...
My dad juz spend ard S$600 to donate to the kids in Jiu zhai gou to build a sec school during our trip. Now i hope that their pri sch will survive the quake.. n the pri sch kids will survive to enter the new sec sch to-be-built.
I truly hope the survivors will live on strongly and build a better tomorrow. And those rascals who built lousy building structures will learn their lessons!
