I Say “Sorry” ..but

JS has got the habit of interrupting our conversation. She would yelled to be heard and to get our attention.

Hubby was extremely upset with her last night for interrupting our conversation and scolded her loudly. She said “Sorry Daddy” loudly twice after she has settled down from her cry (She knew daddy really angry coz daddy hardly raise his voice), but hubby was too mad to answer her back.

This morning over breakfast, hubby was saying that he felt so bad for not forgiving JS last night…I told him that JS would have forgotten about the incident as all the kids do..boy..I was wrong

This morning while getting her ready for school..changing her, she said ” mummy, yesterday I say sorry to daddy, but daddy never talk to me also” she gave me a sad look…all I told her was this morning daddy actually lie down beside her and sayang her before he goes to work, daddy no longer mad at her…

In Remembrance Of Chief Reverend

I didn’t on the pc the whole day yesterday, this morning I got up extra early than usual and started reading my blog feeds. From Screenshots, I found out a shocking news that Chief Reverend has passed on (thought a few days ago I read from the newspaper that his was making steady progress).

Feeling very sad now, emotion chocking up in my throat and tears welling in my eyes…

I have some very fondness encounter in my teens days with Chief Reverend though he might not even recall these moments, but it’s always deeply in my heart…..back then in our small hometown, dad was the secrectary of the local Buddisht Association, very so often the association would invite monk to deliver Dhamma talks at the association, but due to the humble premise of the association and there is no presentable hotels in the town, very often, our home would be the “hotel” to the guests.

Among them was Chief Reverend. I think he has stayed at our home 3 times. Twice I had to clean up my room for Chief Reverend. He was very friendly and full of humor very grandfatherly figure…

I remembered one occation during his stay, it was near my SRP exam… I couldn’t join the rest of the family to attend the talk as I have to stay home to do revision.

Chief Reverend : arent you joining us?

Me/dad: no, have to do revision for SRP

Chief Reverend: Come girl, let me give you some blessing.. (so he did give me a private blessing in our living room…placing him palm on my head and did a chant)

I remembered all the medication he brought along with him and the insulin that need to be stored in the fridge. Theravada monks do not dine after noon, but due do Chief Reverend needs to administer the insulin shot, he would usually have something light before doing so. I remember the humor he has with taking all these medication….I remember him making fun of all his bypass scars….

It seems like yesterday…but in fact it was 15 years ago…

Will pray for him…..

PS: was it a coincident or what? Hubby actually chanted for the past 2 nights. He doesn’t usually do that. And yesterday (31/8/2006) about noon, he put on Chief Reverend’s Dhamma talk CD on the radio. That time was about the time Chief Reverend passed on….

Sibbling Love

WH loves and cares for his sister very much. He would always call JS “Jie jie” in a very nice sweet tone.

One morning, he woke up and couldn’t see JS… he panic and started calling out “jie jie , jie jie” walking around the house looking for his sister….

Another occation… JS was sitting at the front passenger seat in hubby’s car. WH was at the back with me, suddenly he realize JS was out of sight….again he panic and started calling “jie jie, jie jie” and looking out of the car trying to locate his sister…..

I hope they will forever care for each other and always be loving to each other…
