走着，走着，就老了……生活就是这么无奈！

Walk, walk, old already ...... life is so helpless!

什么都不要去回顾，那种已在记忆之中的东西是最撩人心思摇曳，摇曳得令人心神默痛。

Do not review that has been in the memories. Such things are the most tantalizing with the promise of something unobtainable but causing silent pain.

走着，走着，就老了。是啊，容颜是最容易背叛人类的东西。不仅走的那样绝情，还要偷去你平稳的心态，让你时时刻刻都念起它：不能怪容颜，也不埋怨岁月，是我们接受了太多的上天馈赠，上帝顺便从我们身边带走样东西吧。其实，上帝是比人类还精明的一个生意人！

Walk, walk, old already. Our face is something that is most likely to betray the human being. Don't only go away unsympathetically, but also retain your sanity. Always remember: do not blame the old face or our age. We have accepted too many gifts from God, which is now taken away from us. Actually God makes better judgments than human beings!

看看宝贝吧。整天盼望着他快点成长。在襁褓中时，盼望他会走路多好，等他走路稳当了；又盼望他会和自己交流，等他会和你争辩了；又盼望着他会独立多好！

Look at the baby. Everyday looking forward to him quickly grow up. In their infancy, we thought of how happy it will be if he could walk. When he is stable walking, we hope he could communicate with us. When he is able to argue with us, we look forward to him being independant!

等他独立，不再纠缠你了。这时，才猛然发现，身边太清静了，以往那个怕黑、调皮的宝贝不见了；然后看见了自己头上的发色如雪的颜面，白的苍白又荒凉；脸上的皮肤如逝水的水果，干瘪的趋向萎缩，那个健美、俊俏的人儿不知不觉地被岁月渡化了。

When he becomes independant and need not bother us, we suddenly discover that it is too quiet. The naughty baby who in the past used to be afraid of the dark, is gone; And then notice that the hairs on our head has turned snow white, pale and desolate. The skin of our face has shriveled, dried and deformed. The once fit and handsome person, is unknowingly converted by the process of aging.

月亮圆了、缺了；缺了、圆了；冬天去了、来了；来了、去了。来不及好好端详一下自己，时光便被每道皱纹占满，每块色斑沉淀，直到活脱为桑老的一棵树，才知道，叶落的时刻到了。

We watch umpteen times the moon being round, turn smaller and smaller, then round again. Winter came and go. Too late to properly scrutinize ourselves, time passes and patch of our freckles transforms, solidifies and become permanently embedded. Until we become the spitting image of the old mulberry tree, then we realise that it is time for the autum leaves to fall.

到了叶落归根的时候，我们又善感的回想：无悔的、已错的，清晰可鉴，似举手可得；但没有办法重来。于是常常温习，一遍一遍地回味，自此对懊恼的事也多了莫名的亲切感。

While about to meet our destiny, we have those sentimental realisation: Unable to regret the wrongs but can treat it as a lesson learned. But there is no way back. With constant reviews and considerations, we come to term with those matters that used to upset us.

人就是个古怪的物种，反复叨念着的不是现在，而是已经过去的时光；能原谅的不是当前，而是曾伤怀的旧事。那种回想所带来的感觉是——心儿喜悦着憔悴，憔悴的只能安祥。

People are very strange species. We are repeatedly not concern of what is current, but those of the past. It is understandable that the current matters are not so popular, but why remember the sad past. That action can only make us feel haggard, prehaps serene at most.

走着，走着，就老了。在离叶归之遥的长路上，尚年轻的，还需好好珍爱生活，把握好的时光是人生最美的一刻，一旦错过，回忆就是一片苦涩；彼此的感受才是重要的粘合。

Walk, walk, old already ...... While a long way away from the "falling leaf" stage of life, we were still young and needed to cherish life. To grasp the good times is the most beautiful moment in life. Once that is missed, it become a bitter memory. Understand and empathise each other feelings is important for bonding.

到了弃之可惜，留之无味的地步，人生又要多一波折。其人生之处最重要的仅仅几步而已，婚姻就是一个关口，话言“家和万事兴”，一个和美、幸福的家庭，不管是对己身还是下代都起着相当重要的作用。

Upon reaching a pitiful stage of uninteresting life, other problem will arise. Actually life only has few important milestones. Marriage is one of them. The phrase "An united family is a happy family" is a harmonise and happy family. Whether in their own or the next generation's, an united family plays an important role to the happiness of every member.

凡事不能太片面，也不可太怨深，人，谁没有缺点，谁又敢保自身就是完人，对人如待己……

Handling matters cannot be too one-sided or complain too much. Nobody is perfect. Who dare to proclaim being a perfect person without any drawbacks, treating others arrogantly with an air of overbearing superiority ......

走着，走着，就老了。想想，人生只是瞬间即逝的一种生命过程，何必去苛求种种都完美呢？问题是什么样的结局才能称上完美？它有没有一个固定的标准来衡量？说不完美就是最大的完美。就像这人生，谁又有办法留住生命不归？

Walk, walk, old already ...... Thinking over, life is only a fleeting moment, why go to the extend of demanding everthing to be perfect? Is there fixed standards? Saying imperfect is the most perfect thing to say. Just like this current life, who is able to keep a life with no ending?

I failed Chinese in school - but my experiment in talking to my son only in Mandarin has been a resounding success

In a cab the other day, the small one started talking about the colour of the vehicle. This is a blue "de shi", he piped, using the Mandarin term for taxi.

The taxi driver asked why I had taught him "de shi". No one will understand you when you go home, he warned.

Back where you come from, taxis are called "ji cheng che", aren't they? he continued.

No, I said, we know them as "de shi".

Aren't you from China? he queried.

No, we are Singaporeans, I replied.

Oh, you've got your PR already, he quipped.

Er no, we're born and bred here, Uncle, I said.

But your son speaks like he's from China! the taxi driver exclaimed.

Whoo-hoo! I silently rejoiced. It worked!

Yes, my experiment to speak to the little one in only Mandarin from birth, to see if he picks up the language, has succeeded. Now three-and-a-half years old, he rattles to me in Mandarin and switches effortlessly to English when conversing with his daddy, who did the English version of the experiment.

Having failed Chinese as a second language during my A-levels (and having to retake the exam so as not to have to attend Chinese camp at university), this was not a small decision. It was hard work!

I had to do mental translations before speaking to him. Google Translate became my new BFF (Best Friends Forever). I dusted off my old Chinese-English dictionaries from my parents' place and hauled them home. The radio became permanently tuned to 88.3FM.

I could not scold him as easily because I did not know what words to use in Mandarin. And we'd be brushed aside or appallingly served at certain shops and restaurants (or encounter the opposite in service when we spoke Queen's English instead).

But eventually, over the weeks, it became easier. Xi guan cheng zi ran (make it a habit and it becomes natural), as the Chinese idiom goes.

SO HE CAN CHAT WITH SWEDES AND POLITICIANS

The little one was subject to all this also because of his older brother, who refused to acknowledge Chinese at two-and-a half years of age, when he could read English independently.

He told me not to speak to him in Mandarin. He preferred English, and that was that. So he was devouring Enid Blyton at age three-and-a-half, and the English newspapers a year later. But attempts to re-introduce him to Mandarin failed.

I'd read that children could pick up a language easily through regular exposure to it, so the little one became my guinea pig. The main aim was just for him not to have to go through the same Mother Tongue learning struggles that I did in school.

PHOTO: From chinese medicine to comics, Ms Lim Siew Gek’s lessons make learning Chinese a cool thing to do.

Ms Lim’s special TCM-infused lesson for her school’s Pri 2 curriculum has been so successful that colleagues, parents and pupils named her for the Most Outstanding CL Lesson Plan award in 2006. Since then, Ms Lim has shared her lesson plans with many other schools in Singapore, even going as far as China.

And having failed in this aspect with his older brother, I was determined to succeed with him. There were other reasons, too, of course:

- The world is flat, and China is shifting to the centre of the world map. Mandarin, the most common language in the world, is spoken by almost a fifth of the globe's population. In years to come, there will be even more Mandarin speakers.

- So if he travels to Sweden when he grows up, he'll have no problem getting around. After all, last year, Sweden's Education Minister Jan Bjorklund announced that all Swedish primary schools should offer Chinese lessons.

http://theonlinecitizen.com/2007/02/the-language-of-our-forefathers-are-we-missing-something/

- So that he can, if he ever meets them, converse easily with overseas politicians who are fluent in Mandarin:

Former Australian Prime Minister Kevin Rudd; United States Treasury Secretary Timothy Geithner; former US Ambassador to China (and Singapore!) and former presidential candidate Jon Huntsman ...

- So that back home, he will be able to
(i) order food at a hawker centre,
(ii) chat with taxi drivers and
(iii) gossip with aunties and grannies at the void deck.

ENGAGE BRAIN - ON BOTH SIDES

And of course, there's all that talk about how beneficial learning more than one language can be.

A 2003 study in Britain found that it takes more brainpower to speak Mandarin, as both sides of the brain are engaged to understand the language. (Apparently this ability to engage both sides of the brain is exclusive to the Chinese language.)

I was also inspired by an interview with a local professor of Chinese language and culture who revealed that he spoke to his daughters only in Mandarin when they were growing up. They'll pick up English when they go to school, he'd said.

http://listverse.com/2010/02/26/10-modern-cases-of-linguistic-genocide/

Amazingly, despite my basic level of Chinese, the little one learnt. In his younger days, before he realised that his daddy could understand Mandarin as well, he would translate his demands if his father was slow to respond: "Socks, Daddy, socks. Wa zi!"

Even better, because the older one is also exposed to Mandarin when I speak to his little brother, he has re-absorbed the language.

Now I have a new problem. Because my knowledge of Mandarin is basic - about kindergarten level - I can only teach my boys this much.

http://chinamusictech.blogspot.com/2010/08/is-cantonese-in-danger-of-extinction.html

We still speak in Mandarin but, last month, the boys started a Chinese enrichment programme. They love it, and I am glad that they now have exposure to the language from the experts. In the meantime, I need to buck up and improve on my Mandarin skills.

After this, we'll try Malay.

This article is inspired by a slide presentation - entitled The Art Of Being Well - by medical doctor, writer and TV personality Drauzio Varella, who recommends seven things that we must do if we do not want to fall ill.

I'll share with you his headers and offer my take on what these seven mean to me.

Speak your feelings and lower the stress level.

If you don't want to fall ill, speak your feelings.

There's nothing like letting out all your pent-up feelings from deep within. Bottling them up will just raise your stress levels and cause all forms of internal imbalances, possibly resulting in ulcers, gastritis, backaches and, sometimes, even cancer.

Make the decisions to take this diet, which is high in vegetables, legumes, fruits, fish, garlic, nuts, olive oil, and soy products, helps you to attain good cholesterol levels, maintains healthy blood pressure, promotes weight loss, and prevents spikes in insulin, which can cause artery-damaging inflammation.

If you don't want to be ill, make decisions.

When you are undecided about things, anxiety and doubt creep in. This could result in unnecessary trauma, worries and - many a time - relationship problems.

More often than not, procrastination will result in less-than-healthy outcomes.

If you don't want to be ill, find solutions.

Be positive and actively look for answers. Nip a small matter in the bud so that it will not have a chance to grow into an unmanageable animal.

PHOTO: Don't live by appearances.
We live in a world where physical appearance seems to be of great importance and this pressure can break down even the toughest people as being uncomfortable in your own skin is one of the worst feelings you could have. Unfortunately most people don't take a good look in the mirror to observe that beauty is not related to your weight and it is something beyond physical appearance.

The people who fall as prey to this terrifying diseases suffer from a visual distortion of they body. They see themselves much more overweight than they really are, triggering a sense of self consciousness, guilt and disgust. The need for acceptance is great and people tend to fall for this terrifying methods that cause them to develop bulimia and anorexia.

If you don't want to be ill, don't live by appearances.

I am not referring to what we wear physically, but to any pseudo image we adopt that is far from our true selves.

Being positive and true to oneself is the way to go.

As for the rest, in Dr Varella's words, "their destiny is the pharmacy, the hospital and pain".

Style and Sustenance - accepting ourselves can we boost self-esteem and eradicate all forms of negativity. There is so much to benefit from by just being one with ourselves.

If you don't want to be ill, accept.

Only by accepting ourselves can we boost self-esteem and eradicate all forms of negativity, such as jealousy, arrogance and envy. There is so much to benefit from by just being one with ourselves.

If you don't want to be ill, trust.

Without trust, there can be no true friendships. Your relationships will tend to be shallow and peripheral, and you would always be on your guard, your defences always up - but your resistance to ailments can only go down.
