Why Say No to Drugs and Not Say No to Gamble?

Say No to Drugs is like today proverb.
People realize the effects of doing drugs thus they are doing campaign in order to prevent people from doing drugs. However, does people ever realize the danger of gambling? If you think of it, which one is worse? Gamble or drugs? I guess they carry the same ratio. If this is the case, why there is no campaign of "Say No to Gamble"?

I am writing this based on the observation to a close friend where her mother is addicted in gambling. Her mom keeps thinking of getting rich easily and her mom thinks that gamble is the only way out. Indirectly, my friend suffers from her mom's behavior. Her mom keeps asking for a certain amount of huge money that my friend has to work for a few months to collect the money. Usually that amount of money is gone within a couple of days. Work for 3-4 months and waste it in 2-3 days.

I believe that my friend's case is not the only case in the world. There are more cases regarding gambling. There might be people who would like to take care of it and start campaign of this?

Day 6 - HK City

We didn't do much today. Just went for a walk at Sogo and had dinner with brother-in-law and his colleague from Japan, Shigeru.

Every day sleeps peacefully....


We went for lunch at the Japanese Restaurant in Sogo Department Store.

The Bonding with My Son

The water always flows from the top to the bottom naturally; similar to the loves of the parents to their children. I feel the bond with Dave is getting stronger from day to day. I have been really observing him for these couple of nights. The way he sleeps, very peaceful, nothing to worry about. He is really growing and I think that in the few months time, I won't be able to carry him anymore... (too heavy.. ^^) He is growing like extremely fast without you realize it.

It makes me think again, will I be able to let him further his education overseas one day? It's like let him alone by himself out there. Then I think again, there must be time to learn this. We also pursued our education overseas, it must be tough for our parents to let us go also.

Another thing is, some of the children are always complaining that their parents do not love them. I mean, is this true that this kind of thing will happen? Maybe when the children peace off their parents in the degree that is not tolerable again.

New Trick to Make Dave Stops Crying

Yeah.... I just realized that there is an easy way to stop Dave from crying.
Whenever he cries, I will pretend to cry also.
Then he will cry louder for another 3 seconds and he will ask me to stop crying. He will say just Dave crying is enough... ^^
I will tell him if he stops crying then I will stop crying also...
It works... ^^

Still very obsess with numbers

French Fries & Ice Cream @ Mc. D

Mommy... I want to go to Mc. D to eat french fries and ice cream. ^^
That's what he asked all the time after his teacher brought him to Mc. D during his holiday class.

Later on, I thought a good deal that might encourage him. Alright, mommy will bring you to Mc. D if you promised to wake mommy up when you want to pee in the middle of the night.
He agreed.

Surprisingly, he really woke up and called "Mommy, pee pee"... ^^

Then the next day we went for Mc. D. So coincidence that I have no class in the morning.
For the first time, he called me up when he wanted to pee in the midnite. That's the only time and now, he's either wet himself or I have to initiate and help him to pee....

Dave is kicking the soccer ball


Yeah... Goal...

Dave @ Little Lamb Holiday Class

I decided to let Dave join the school holiday class so that he won't feel bored to just stay at home during his long holiday. It's a five days class.

The first day was visited Mc. D and from this time onwards, he always requests to go to Mc. D for french fries and ice cream. I didn't have the idea that the first day was going to be the field trip. Otherwise, I might have worried for all day. ^^
Actually nothing to worry about, but then as a parent, you will always have this "worry" in life...^^

The activities during the holiday class are summarized in this paper bag... ^^



The House
Science class... I did this when I were primary 6... he's turning 3 in October... ^^

New Bicycle

Grandpa rewards Dave with a bicycle for his achievement at school. He's very keen to get the bicycle and now the bicycle is always within his eyesight. ^^
Apparently, he doesn't know how to paddle yet. Hopefully within this couple of days he will learn how to paddle correctly.




Hm... narcism? Well... he requested the cap and sunglass while he is riding his bicycle....
