There was a free giveaway Magic Bonsai DIY Kit to 10 fan members yesterday at the "Give a Plant" pushcart at Orchard Central. DL and I decided to try our luck at lunch time and we were so excited we were the first ones to get the free bonsai.
I just set it up and the man at the pushcart told us to pour the packet of 'special' water, open up the leaves (I didn't know the leaf colour will stain my fingers) and wait for 8 to 12 hours for it to bloom.
Let's just wait and see.

From the book "The 5 Love Languages of Children"
Jasmine lend me this book and told me that it provided her great insights on communication with her two girls. It is indeed, an awesome book, everybody should read this.
After reading the first chapter - Physical Touch, I then realise why does Dylan demands his hugs and kisses every night without fail.
Physical touch, the most common way of showing your affection, is also the most basic way of showing your love to your child, it is an important part of children's emotional needs. Some children who lacks paternal affection would become angry and upset.
I felt very guilty instantly of failing to give Dylan more. His behaviour has got nothing wrong, I now can understand that over the years he grew up not having met his emotional needs thus creating his current angry behaviour. All he wants is just that attention from us, the quality time together with us, that physical touch from us, that to his understanding equates to love. Everybody needs that love, in one way or another, the feeling of being wanted, being accepted, being loved.
... to be continued after I finished reading the next chapter "Words of Affirmation"
痛 在眼中变成泪 在心中变成灰 没有什么能安慰
怕 被时间变成累 被想像变成悲 希望都被粉碎
不安有时会崩溃 有时会怨怼 好像怎么对待都不对
看的出你隐藏多少的疲惫 却还是坚持着爱不断加倍
让我感动也让我愧对
谢谢你们 爱我的每个人 在我的人生最像一场恶梦的旅程
陪我挣脱 勇敢地去醒来 当我的护卫 为我祷告心灵更强韧
谢谢你们 爱我的每个人 让我努力后可以谢谢自己很坦承
会想不通 或绝望到躲开 但你们做的 总让我想坚强负责任
为了爱重生
心 摆脱夜的黑 往蓝天而飞 被阳光包围
只为了 你一句 我笑的好美 我忍着了太漫长的泪
看的出你隐藏多少的疲惫 却还是坚持着爱不断地加倍
让我感动也让我愧对
谢谢你们 爱我的每个人 在我的人生最像一场恶梦的旅程
陪我挣脱 勇敢地去醒来 当我的护卫 为我祷告心灵更强韧
谢谢你们 爱我的每个人 让我努力后可以谢谢自己很坦承
会想不通 或绝望到躲开 但你们做的 总让我想坚强负责任
为了爱重生
每一次听到这首歌都会有眼泪在我眼睛里打转，让我很感动，感触很深很深。
“谢谢你们 ”。
