18 October, 2011

Yesterday was Parent's Meeting of HKBUAS.

Martin and I were there around 6:10pm though the meeting with 訓導主任 was scheduled at 6:30pm. We were there earlier but Mr. Chan received us immediately.

Frankly, I was that very pleased to learn that we had to meet the 訓導主任 for it meant to me that Mike had done something wrong and therefore we had to hear from him.

Anyway, we were happy to see him as we knew him (he taught Mike two subjects - L.A. and Chinese before). The following is what Mr. Chan shared with us:-

His purpose of inviting us - 想讚紀梓烽. 他好有禮貌. 他一直仍然有主動跟陳偉藝老師. 不但面對面有主動到叫他, 有時陳老師並沒有見到他, 梓烽亦有叫他. 還有的是其他老師也覺得他有禮貌. 我告訴陳老師紀梓烽是一個重感情的人.

Importance of Friendship Building - He shared with us that his very best friends are those from primary school and also it is vital for future development. Mike should start his friendship building so that he can have different levels of friends, best friends, good friends, socal friends, etc. As friends can share frank opinions and Mike can learn from them.

Mixture of Academic & Creativity - Mr. Chan doesn't agree that children should be very obedient and strong in Academics. He further shared that those flyers of 10A in HKCEE are nothing special. Rather those who are active/naughty with creative and average in Academic can do even better. Communication is very important for our future. From what he observed, G6 is creative while G5 is academic. Being having a mix of the two, Mike has his own advantages.

The effect of impact - Children should have chances to be challenged. He told us his experience in primary school, from village to city and he had to be lowered two forms in order to catch with the schedules as there was no way that he could compete with those in the city. Then at the age of 11, his family moved to HK and it was anothe impact to him. Though he was in a Band 5 school which only 5 of them studied while the rest took drugs. He didn't get the bad influence from them at all.

PET for Schools

今日是Mike考PET for Schools的日子. 昨日星期五讓他做最後一個Test. 成績真的不錯. 其實Reading及Listening可以全對的, 但就是不小心而已, 成績分別是34/35及24/25. Writing就有待改善. 但看改評其實是可以容許犯錯errors的.

Mike做完後亦覺得有信心做得不錯. 真希望他能取得Distinction因這對他升中有幫助!

Basketball playing with Coach Boris

星期四(3/11)Mike邀請我去看打籃球. 其實之前我亦只看過他–次而已.

我一口就答應他. 好險呀! 5:18pm才發覺要離開. 立即走(連電腦也要MK替我關). 乘的士到會所, 到達時是約5:40pm.

比賽練習還未開始, Mike見不到我; 而我亦不想刻意讓他知道, 以免影响他. 到比賽了, Mike算不錯, 亦不會像其他同學常犯"重拍", "走步"等. 射球,走位也不錯. 而他的朋友Bryan帶波亦不錯呀! Mike還幫隊友入球添.

練習完畢後, Mike終於見到我, 而我又走埋去射波. 教練問我是否Mike的媽媽, 問我是否也懂得打, 我就話 "a little bit". 之後教練還主動叫我們打2對2. Mike跟Bryan一隊. Boris並沒有刻意讓他們. 最後是21(有一球是3分):2(Mike射入).

臨走時我問Coach Boris Mike 是否trouble maker. 他說是. 又話Mike是他的Assistant 幫手維持秩序及翻釋. 他說Mike跟之前的coach有問題, 跟他就沒有呢!

真高興, 因為稱讚Mike. 見Mike亦打得不錯, 心想起不如讓他參加正式之訓練.

大家也打得好開心. Mike話以為我忘掉了, 並說如果我真的忘記也不會怪我. 我亦告知Mike自己好開心被他邀請去看他打籃球.

12 Oct., 2011 (Wed) - Call from Miss Yiu

星期一 (10/10) M 的英文科老師 (Miss Yiu) 給我打電話. 她主要是說 M 一星期有約三次不能完成功課. 她不知道M為何會這样. 她亦尊門去請教過 Miss Feng 是否遇過這問題; 而 Miss Feng 就話沒有.

Miss Yiu 亦知道 M 跟 Miss Feng 有bonding, 但因還有成年要跟 M 在一起, 所以好想改善現狀; 因為好想 M 可以發揮他的 potential. 

其實聽得出 Miss Yiu 是關心 M 的, 因為她覺得不但是nice, 還是一個polite的男孩子.  另外,  Miss Yiu 又話 M 是 super smart, mature, independent, different from other kids (responds are different from the normal kids). 還有的是跟M好似跟大人講話一样的.

我告知 Miss Yiu M 跟另一位老師 (ABC) 亦需要磨合的時間. 我奇怪 M 並沒有完成所有的英文功課, 用 M 不懂時也有向我問呢!

我亦告知 Miss Yiu 我們今年讓 M 獨立地處理所有有關學習的事情.

Typhoon Signal # 8

今日六時起床 Mike 告訴我打八號風球. 真是一個驚喜因為忽然多了半天假. Mike 昨日話今朝耍自己煑火腿蛋, 所以我提醒他而他亦給我煑一份; 我們並且拍照添!

昨日和 M+M 開了一個小家庭會議. 相討的事情如下:-

儲蓄
Mike 要儲蓄至16歲. 因為他說那時找工作好難. 那就可以用儲蓄的錢. 我問 Mike 是否要買什麼東西, 他答不是.
Mike 自己想了兩個方法.
1. 節省電費 - 要求我們把節省的電費(相比去年同月)之1/4給他. 問他有什麼實際行動. 他不願告訴我, 但話在書中得知一個方法.
2. 實廢紙 - 我話他要自己拿取報紙因為平時的是爸爸取的. Mike 重話今日要找出廢紙收集站的地點, 但他至今仍未做呢!
我亦提議以下三個方法.
1. 幫 Miss Chung 做嘢 - Mike 話不知她會否能給他$10/小時. 我就話要看幫 Miss Chung 做什麼. Mike 要求我跟 Miss Chung 講, 但我話不行, 因為要自己講才有誠意的.
2. 在學校賣舊書 - 問學校可不可以在星期六帶舊書來賣, 但 Mike 話學校一定不批准.
3. 在下面 platform 賣舊書 - Mike 又話不好.

昨日臨睡時提到要先做完功課オ可玩電腦. Mike 話我知,其實都是"為我好"! 我真的開心因為 Mike 是明白道理的.


今早拿了那個父母不讓她零晨4:00出街而自殺的個案來討論. 問 Mike 如果是那女孩的父母會否會讓她出外. Mike 話緊係唔得啦因為要瞓覺. 第二日才去慶祝啦! 並且叫她入房睡.


今晚吃過飯後繼續家庭會議.

温習默書
星期三是 Mike 升小五的第一次中文默書. 老師是星期一才通知的. Mike 亦知時間緊迫, 所以告知 MK 要合作. 星期一主要背書, 而星期二則温詞語默書. 上半部份很好 (MK 告知), 但當我離開打網球後 Mike 就不再集中了. MK 話 Mike 好似散咗咁, 並且想放棄. 最後決定星期三早上六時起床再温.

Mike 早上雖然也按時起來, 但亦不太集中呢! MK 黑臉並且沒有送 Mike 坐校車. 我回來時 MK 話要跟 Mike 好好談談.

First trial ski lesson

Today is a new experience of Mike - first tial lesson of Ski.

Bcos of Kin, I tried it myself last week and enrolled a package of 12 lessons. I took Mike here so that he could pick it up too. If both of us succeed, we can ski in Seoul ths Dec. Originally we are supposed to do it at the same time - trial for Mike and first ski lesson of me. But due to the mistakes of Abbeyan there is only one coach Natalie and therefore I let Mike play while I am waiting for him here in Play. He just finished the first part and now proceed to the more advanced. while transferring, I asked if he enjoyed it, he nodded his head with a big smile on his face. Good!

Yesterday is a something new to me. I had my very first badminton training in KCC (Kowloon Cricket Club). It is not far from Jordan MTR at all. Yetserday there were only 4 of us - Raymond, Jeffrey, Annie & me. Coach Wong also had few teenage students to play with us too. They all play quiet well.

I am happy for Wong according to Raymond pays much attention to 細徵動作 which is much added by me. He actually had alreay pointed out that the way that I held the racket was wrong and my positions, both in striking and開球及準備接球的動作及position.

Medi's birthday on 16th September, 2011
昨日是 Medi 的生日. 剛好 Martin 上月用 Asiamiles 換了4張 Park Lane One Cafe 的 buffet dinner. 原來加埋 10% 要成 $400 以上. 可能是星期五的關係, 基本上是滿座的. 賣點是龍蝦, 也算不錯呢!

原本想打完籃球吃早餐, 但起來時已是 8: 35分, 所以並沒打球. 吃完回家已是10:15am.

Mike 已完成 Maths 及 Journal. 他的 Journal 好有創意呢! 他用A-Z做開首, 形容不同的動物. 不錯呢因為 creative, 雖然我不知道老師能否接受或欣賞. 我有幾個生字不懂呢! Mike's vocabulary 真是勁!

原本 Mike 打算打在 YMCA 打 table tennis, 但原來貼出來的時間是錯的. Mike 要求我陪他圢 bowling. 我拒絕了因為我想寫完這 blog. Mike 擾攘了成20分鐘 (我話他如其浪費時間在 hesitate what to do, 不如就坐言起行去打 bowling, 然後回來), 最後他話不想出去而選擇了回房睡/玩.

昨日回家途中提到他小時曾經 "賴糞". Mike 話記得自己小時曾試過在草叢中小便, 就不記得有"賴糞"的經驗. 我記得 Mike 那時是未到三歲或三歲多一點. 我們在平臺回家途中他已經忍不住大便了. 因為有內褲的關係, 也不致於大便跌出來, 但記得我當時也不知所措, 有叫毅生幫手拿報紙, 並把那內褲連大便一起棄掉. 記得那是星期日, 而 MK 從家中取新的內褲.

Mike 十五分鐘話自己不能集中做數學. 我就話集中是要學/訓練出來的. 懂得專心/集中做事的人較成功, 因為用小些時間就能完成工作, 所謂的事倍功半. 更重要的事越早完成就越多自由時間.
