Today was the first day of PSLE.
I thought I did quite a good job by waking the big girl up, making her French Toast, braiding her hair and writing her a letter of encouragement - with her favourite Sumikko Gurashi design - to wish her all the best.
But this girl, she touches me in ways I never expect and brings joy through the little things she does. Not only does she make life happier for me, she is also my motivation to be a better, braver and stronger mum.
This afternoon, after enduring an over 4-hour wait in school due to a technical glitch during her oral exam and only having a bun and biscuit between 7am to 230pm, she came back home on her own, hungry but not whiny. I served her a big bowl of herbal chicken soup with mee sua which she ate heartily before taking a rest.
In the evening, she helped me to take care of the baby and after dinner, we watched a couple of hours of TV to relax, including AGT and Just for Laughs Gags, because I do think it's more important for her to feel happy than stressed at this point.
Before she went to bed, she wrote this sweet thank you letter for me which I totally didn't see coming and it totally melted my heart. Ironically, it's day 1 of her major exam yet she cheered and lifted me up more than what I did for her. Awwww. And I think I needed this.
Love you so much, my dear Angel. No matter what happens, you know I will always, always be proud of you. Thank you for being you.
All the best to those who are taking their PSLE too! ❤
P.S. She also dropped her molar, which is her 18th tooth, tonight too. Yup, only two more milk teeth to go and her last few visits from Tooth Fairy. This girl is growing up so fast and it's a bittersweet feeling but I am embracing every moment of seeing her mature into a fine young lady.

young and hungry 在 寶總監的寶之國與他的狗王子 Empire of Director Bao & Niku & Baku Facebook 的最佳貼文
這是阿培曾經在我巴褲的書裡面寫的,這文章是阿培本身養狗的經驗,對每個養狗的人都有很大的幫助,希望大家有時間可以把它看完,我翻譯成英文讓大家看:
Apei wrote many things into my Baku book. Mainly how to raise dogs, his life experience with dogs and about dog breeds. Its very useful information so please take a look. I translated it into English for everyone to read.
想要養全世界最大的狗,所有的大狗養過一輪,最後情定獒犬。
I wanted to raise all the big dogs available around the world. I wanted to takes turns raising all the big dogs, but I fell for Mastiff.
我從小就有個心願,要養全世界最大的狗。十幾歲開始工作,慢慢把大狗養了一輪:紐波利頓獒犬、大丹、高加索——最後才把重心放在西藏獒犬上。
Ever since when I was very young, I had a dream to raise all the big dogs available throughout the world. I started working at a very young age. Over the years, I had owned a Neapolitan Mastiff, Great Dane, Caucasian Shepherd, and finally now I am totally focused on taking care of my Tibetan Mastiff.
其實每種狗都可愛,只是養著養著,慢慢摸索出自己最喜歡的樣子——
To be honest, no matter what the breed, each dog is cute & lovable in its own way. Having own so many dogs, I slowly figured out what I like the most.
比方紐波利頓,嘴巴皮垂皺加上毛短,吃完東西不馬上擦乾淨,很容易過敏有皮膚病,照養上很費功夫。
Neapolitan Mastiff, for example, has saggy faces and very short hair. If you don’t clean him up after a meal, the dog can very easily have allergic reactions or skin diseases. It’s quite a chore taking care of this breed of dogs.
大丹漂亮修長,但我更喜歡粗勇的體型。
Great Danes are beautiful and usually possesses a lengthy body, but I like ones with a thicker and wider body.
高加索犬算是最貼近我期待的,但是,高加索犬野性比較強,對其他小狗比較不友善。
Caucasian Shepherd is perhaps a breed that is closest to my ideal type. However, shepherds are more primitive, they are not that friendly to small dogs.
至於西藏獒犬,牠忠實、對小孩、女人和小型動物又溫和——尤其是冬天,西藏獒犬換上一身長披毛,站出來威風凜凜、霸氣十足。
As far as Tibetan Mastiff goes, they are loyal, and gentle around kids, women, and other small animals. Especially during winter, a Tibetan Mastiff would change into a long fur coat, appearing so confident and proud, as if everything else is beneath them.
養到西藏獒犬,我心中就有「中」的感覺——所以一路養到現在。
When I got to owning a Tibetan Mastiff, that’s when my heart and mind went: “This is the one!” And so… I have been raising one ever since.
之前養的每隻狗,我都是養到牠們老死——大型狗的平均壽命比中小型犬還要短的許多,大概10年到15年。
All the dogs I had previously, I have always had them until they passed away peacefully in my arms due to old age. The average lifespan of large-sized dogs are usually a lot shorter than small-sized dogs. 10 -15 years, I would say, is probably the max.
要駕馭大型狗,教法是重點。我常跟人說,「狗的主人要有霸氣,要比狗兇」。從小規矩就要訂下——如果主人希望能帶大狗去散步,一定要從小帶牠出門,讓牠習慣走在你腿旁邊,讓牠早早社會化。
To manage a large-sized dog, the key is on teaching. I often tell my friends: “As a dog owner you have to be dominant, you have to be more dominant than your dog.” Show ‘em who’s the boss in the house, so to speak lol. As a dog owner if you wish to take your large dog out for a walk, you have to start taking them for a walk when they are still very small, let them get used to walking alongside you, this is basically to socialize them.
你帶領狗去散步,不是牠帶你去散步——讓牠們見多視廣,狗就不會有初見陌生事物激動暴衝的時候。
Remember tho, you are taking them for a walk, not the other way around. You have to let them see more, let them become familiarize with what’s happening on the outside. This way, it will lessen the occurrence of your dog having violent reactions to unfamiliar or unknown objects.
基本上,除非是生病,要不然狗咬人,都是基於「恐懼」。牠怕主人被攻擊,所以擺出戰鬥姿態——當然,社會化不足或主人威嚴感比較差的狗,就比較容易出在驚慌狀態下而暴衝咬人。
Basically, unless your dog is sick, a dog only starts biting people out of “fear.” They fear that his owner will be attacked, that’s why he goes into “combat mode.” Of course, a dog that is less socialized or a dog with a less dominant owner will more likely become violent (including biting) when they feel threatened or panicking.
這部分是主人的問題,比較不是狗狗本身的問題。改善了狗主人的牽法與教育狗的方式,狗的暴衝、易怒問題就可以得到改善。
This is the owner’s fault, and not on the dog. Once you improve upon the way you walk the dog and educate the dog the right away, the dog’s violent behavior and violent tendencies will show an improvement.
獒犬還有一個別稱,「栓犬」。讓獒犬待在同個地方大概30分鐘,牠就會覺得那是牠地盤,開始會對經過的路人兇,這點要特別注意。
Mastiff also goes by another name, “guardian dogs.” If you let a Mastiff stay in one place for over 30 minutes, he’ll think that this place is his place, his territory, and will starting defending it by being aggressive to passerby, this is something to be aware of.
我最常被問到的,獒犬吃很多三餐費用很高吧?
The question that I was asked the most is… “Mastiffs eat a lot, don’t they? So you must’ve spend a lot of dog food, right?”
我自己對狗比較捨得,讓牠吃好——牛肉全雞羊肉,但是也不一定要跟我一樣餵法。讓牠們吃飽,有時間去跑跑步,偶爾洗一下澡,牠們就很開心了。
I am more catering to my dog, that’s for sure. I’ll let him eat the good stuff --- beef, full chicken, lamb… But you don’t have to do it like me, tho, just feed him regularly so your dog is not hungry. If you have the time, take him for a walk or a jog, or bathe him, he is going to be really really happy if you do so.
最後要提醒的是,大型犬因為身體重腳的負擔大,狗主人最好是把牠們養在不滑的地板上,跟,6個月以前的小狗,髖關節還沒發育完全,不要讓牠們大量跑跳。這兩點注意一下,加上每天帶花時間帶牠們去散步運動,這樣就能保持牠們四隻腳的健康,減少很多腿部問題。
Lastly, I want remind everyone, as far as large dogs go, because of their huge physique they have tons of pressure on their feet, so it’s best for a dog owner to raise a large-sized dog on a non-slippery floor. Also, for a dog that is not yet 6 months old, don’t let the dog do too much jumping and running because his hip joint isn’t fully developed yet. That’s two things you should keep in mind. So as long as you take the time to walk your dog and do a bit of exercise, you’ll be able to keep their legs healthy, which will reduce a lot of the dog’s leg problems.
不管大狗小狗,牠們都是我們的家人,養了,就好好照顧牠一輩子。最後還是那句話.如何對待如何回報.
No matter big or small, a dog is family. If you got one, please take care of him/her for the rest of its life. Lastly, just want to say, You reap what you sow.

Here's another story for all of you... in honor and celebration of my late father and hero, whose happy-go-lucky, cheerful and humble personality was the highlight of my childhood. I was so lucky I got to live with him in the last year of his life, as the assistant manager of an oil palm estate in Teluk Anson. Living with him, I learned to ride the gardener Ayya's Raleigh bicycle twice my size, was best friends with Kumar, Storekeeper Maniam's son, and life was simple and beautiful. My Papa learned to speak Tamil so he could communicate with his workers effectively, lovingly and respectfully. And they LOVED him so much, they would cook the yummiest food for us almost every day. The evening my Papa had his second fatal heart attack, hundreds of estate workers were there at the Teluk Intan hospital to pay their respects.
And much respect and undying love for my beautiful and strong mother, who had to play both father and mother to us at such a young age with no help from anyone else. I used to wonder how she could afford to bring 3 kids up when she earned a tiny salary of RM1,200 as a secretary (this was in the mid 80s) "We don't need to ask anyone for help or for money. We may not have as much as other people have, but you and your siblings will never go hungry." Mom fought cancer stage 4 fiercely, refusing chemo for 15 years, outliving the doctor who gave her only 6 months - a true cancer warrior.
Happy Father's Day... I miss you both and wish you could be here to share my life, a few little achievements and my dreams today.
I'll always be so grateful to you both for being my inspiration and my drive to work hard, stay humble, stay strong, give my best and to be the best version of myself I could ever hope to be 💜
