How do you broach the topic of mortality with a 9-yr-old?
I am thankful that both girls had had pets (both hamsters & spiders) in the past who all passed on eventually. At least that helped to introduce the concepts of impermanence and mortality to them.
We've both been slowly talking to them in bite-sizes, whether individually or together, about things and the eventuality.
I hope they understand...slowly bit by bit...
Conversation with the 9-yr-old
A: I want 3 birthday cakes this year.
Me: Har? Why?
A: Because this is my last year with
a single digit age number.
Me: Errrr ok…
A: I also need 3 birthday cakes next
year.
Me: And why again?
A: Because next year is my first year with a double digit age number.
Me: .............
Don't buy things on impulse when you're not in a good mood.
Ended up with 2 articles of clothing that do not fit me, and which are somehow non-returnable.
Sigh.

Wonder if I should bring them to be altered? Hmm......
Wondering if I am doing an ok job as a reporting officer.
Wondering if and how I can do more and how else I should handle this one particular staff, who is also bringing some amount of headache for my own boss.
It's my first time dealing with this situation. He has seen more through the course of his work life....while he also finds this situation not ideal, at least it is not anything too egregious.
I had a chat with him a few weeks back. We agreed that while we can show compassion and accord more flexibility to this staff, we need to also ensure work responsibilities get fulfilled, and we need to properly document our chats/counselling sessions/instruction emails with this staff.
I'm still learning....
可以的
Trying to be best friends with my dumbbells. Kinda slow getting to know each other better. May we find each others' frequency soon. Lol....
可以的!!
We’re almost midway through the 7th lunar month already. Mid-autumn is coming soon.
The purchase and delivery of mooncakes is coming up soon.
Time ticks away so fast.
I should be prepping for Xmas soon too. In fact, I think we were already done with a portion of the Xmas gifts by this time last year.
Nvm....
可以的......
