“Welcome every morning with a smile. Look on the new day as another special gift from your creator, another golden opportunity to complete what you were unable to finish yesterday. Be a self-starter. Let your first hour set the theme of success and positive action that is certain to echo through your entire day. Today will never happen again. Don’t waste it with a false start or no start at all. You were not born to fail.” ~by Og Mandino
I saw many elders jogging in the park every time I go there for my evening exercise. They were usually in their T-shirt, short pants, a pair of stockings and the sport shoes. Typical sport outfit. Simple but comfortable. This arouses the image of my dearest father again, who likes jogging and makes it almost every evening after work as well. He wants to keep himself fit and healthy and therefore he goes for jogging which I think is kind of the easiest sport to carry out, at least it does not require any sport instruments or particular area like the others!
这几天我病得不轻。喉咙痛、重伤风以及发高烧陆陆续续接踵而来。近来忙着工作，运动量也大幅度的减少了，这使得身体的免疫力也跟着急速下滑。身子几乎禁不起这么大的伤害。曾经一度以为自己是不是又要到医院报到了。
＂我一定要坚强！我一定可以熬得过！＂天生倔强的心态就在这时候在内心某处被激发。
爸爸每一天都隔着好几通越洋电话细心观察我的病情，我也一五一十地向他报告我的最新状况，接着他再给予我适当的建议。老公也特地请假留在家里照顾我。在最无助的时刻，有家人在身边鼓励与支持，这无疑也为我打了一剂强心针。
刚开始的几天，头一直很痛，仿佛被千只钢针同时穿刺着，难受至极。喉咙发炎，舌头表面也长了厚厚的舌苔，嘴巴除了苦之外已经分辨不出其它的味道了。这也间接影响了我的胃口，到口的食物几乎都难以下咽。身体也一直很冷，冷得我一直颤抖。穿了睡衣、袜子，然后裹在两层羊毛被下才勉强感觉到一丝温暖。
爸爸推断我体内也许有很重的寒气，再加上发热气，冷热相克，所以我的头才会痛得那么厉害，而身体反而冷得要命。
过了一阵子，身体是暖和了，但体温却一度飙升到３８度。噢，发高烧了。
吃了＂蒙古草包＂医生（那些马来医生）给的药后，烧还是没退。３８度有点高，老爸甚至还问我要不要去医院。我并不太想去医院吊点滴啦。结果，老爸就通过电话教我用一种老一辈的偏方来驱寒散热，看看有没有效。
首先得把风扇关掉，接着在头部以下的地方如手臂、手掌、手指、背、双腿、脚掌，最后到脚指，沾少许的驱风油，然后不停的向下和向外擦拭至到那些部位发热为止。接着别让身体吹风，裹在被里让身体出汗。老爸的偏方还挺管用的。我流了好多好多汗，连衣服都湿了。赶快换了件干净的衣服，而头痛也减轻了许多。老爸，你比那个蒙古草包医生还厉害！！
一直到昨天傍晚，我终于可以慢慢下床走动了。只不过身子还很虚，没什么力气。
在这其间，老公对我还蛮有耐心地，我每一餐都吃得很少，所以肚子撑不了多久又饿了，他都会不辞劳苦地一直为我准备吃的。＂能吃多少就吃多少，不要勉强。待会儿饿了我再给你煮吃的。＂老公，谢谢你的无微不至！！
有家人的关怀与照顾，即使生病是件很痛苦的事，也会变得很甜蜜！！
We all are daddy-blessed children ever since we were born. We felt protected, sheltered by your care when we grew up. I believe that even if your children have married and your love for us will never stop. Dad, Happy Father’s Day!! We all love you so much!!
We both had quick SMS yesterday and I couldn’t stop laughing after I knew what’s going on.

AhChii：阿美！你下次有去中国记得找我哦！
Jen：哪个瞎了眼的中国小姐把你给娶回家了？哈哈:p
AhChii：不是！你老妈来中国没买半点东西。我跟你来，民都鲁没有的都买回来！
Jen：你身上有多少人民币？
AhChii：不够！
***************************************************************************
我妈一直都是比较节俭的母亲。而我弟就属于时髦派，很爱买东西地潮男的那种。传统-minded Vs 新新人类-minded，有理说不通，这就是激发火花的源头。
今天下午，我弟的SMS又来了。
***************************************************************************
AhChii：我打算买世博会的吉祥物－海宝！
Jen：噢。那你买了吗？多少钱一个？有没有给我？
AhChii：买了六个！忘记了。有！
Jen：算你有带良心出门。哈哈。你买那么多，老妈没唠叨你吗？
AhChii：有！
Jen：老妈都没买东西啊？
AhChii：老妈会买东西民都鲁不见啰！
