親愛的婆婆， 您好嗎？您回到加拿大已有兩個多月了，我很想念您和公公。加拿大的天氣應該開始漸>漸變冷，您一定要多穿幾件衣服，不要感染到感冒。自從您離開香港，每當我和媽媽到中餐廳吃叉燒包

或去「不倒翁」吃火鍋，我都會想起我們以往一起的日子，一面吃飯，一面聊天。希望在不久的將來會

和您們再團聚。 婆婆，我很感謝您不但經常閲讀我的網絡日記，還用心地提醒和教導我。...

I had attended a charity mini concert by one of my very good friend, Monique three weeks ago.  It was to raise fund and more importantly to raise awareness of how important it is for all of us in our community to understand the mental health issues.  In memory of her...

This week, the piece I would like to share with you is how Xavier captured a part of his struggle in mastering the Chinese language. As a result of those few years of struggle, this experience actually taught him the true meaning of perseverance and how everything needs patience and determination. As a parent what I would want my children to learn is the invaluable lesson of not giving up. Grit……

It would be interesting for Xavier to write about the same topic, “I love my Hong Kong” in a few years time to see how his perspective would shift.... This week, I am sharing with you another composition my son, Xavier had written last year.  The power of the written...

As I was cleaning up my son’s room, I found his Chinese composition book on the shelf which he had kept even after he had left his old school which he had attended for 4 years. Reading one of his compositions below, it brought back so much fond memories of his times...

True immersion means fully integrating into the life of a new environment. When my parents sent my younger brother and I abroad when we were 13 and 10 respectively, the plan was for us to live with our elder sister, who was already living in the UK. Never having been...

This time of the year is usually camp week for a lot of international and ESF schools in Hong Kong.  The school’s intention of introducing and promoting to our children a whole range of life skills including independence, collaboration, social interactions, to name...

The weather could not had been better for hikers yesterday, I was delighted because compare to last year, the humidity and heat were no where to be seen! I don't think I can tell you enough how much I appreciated your support over the last 3 years. Thank you for...

Carl Wiens How then can we raise our children to become people with a true moral compass? How do we as parents teach our children to understand that to live and lead an upstanding life, it takes more than just making the right or wrong decision?As parents, we put a...

  What is a moral compass? It is that thing, invisible but undeniably real, inside each one of us that tell us which direction we should go when we have to make decisions involving right and wrong. For example, It is wrong to steal or it is right to protect...

Parenting involves two separate activities. You have to change your child in that you need to educate your child and instill moral values in them. But you also need to celebrate your child for who he or she is and make them feel really good. Andrew Solomon We all...

Watching Maggie Doyne's video and her story of personal self sacrifice for the children in Nepal. She humbles me and I am reminded again that there is still so much we can do to help and so many people out there need our help. What my children have done so far, still...

Twenty-five years later, I am more than proud of my adult children for their decision to quit their full-time jobs and dedicate six months of their lives to work as volunteers in Asia, to help children without families nor education. Neither of them graduated from Ivy...

My three children have been blessed all their lives with abundance and no shortage of anything. It is precisely because of their fortunate circumstances that I knew I had to encourage them to widen their perspectives about their lives and lives of others. So while...

It was more than a year ago -  sixteen months to be exact, when I first submitted my application to the Home Office visa section after my husband and I had decided to relocate to England with our young son.  For those of you who have been following my blog post in...
