New Mom

To My Precious Hannah
October 03

recently

My desktop crashed. So I have to either use Marc' blackberry or my own 10-year-old laptop. Pain in the neck, literally.

My plan to go back to China was screwed up. Missed my brother's wedding, national day holiday and the moon festival. Congratulations and happy holidays, folks.

Hannah is bigger every day. She is the joy of my life. Yesterday I said I did not sleep well at night. Hannah's suggestion: "do not go to sleep."

牙牙学语

我要娜娜多喝水,说否则会上火的。
一天,我正在厨房里做饭,娜娜在客厅玩。突然她大喊:“妈妈,给我水,我着火了。”
我吓一大跳,慌忙跑出来。娜娜指着自己的肚子说:“这里”,弄得我哭笑不得。
 
娜娜做Brain Quest题,答案经常出人意料。
"What do you stand on to weigh yourself?"
Hannah:"my feet".
 
"If you cut pizza into a quarter, how many slices do you get?"
"25"

除草

自留地真的要荒了,除草先,回头来播种施肥。

牙牙学语

娜娜的中文水平人见人夸,但还是时不时搞出笑话来。
 
比如说,我有个口头禅"一点点",娜娜也学会了,并举一反三,认为这是"许多"的反义词。今天她说,我有好多的阿姨,可是只有“一点点”妈妈。
娜娜让我抱,我说“没力气”。娜娜走不动了,就说:“我没气了”。
娜娜早上起来,说,我更生病了。她想说,我病得更厉害了。
娜娜幼儿园的老师让小朋友多吃胡罗卜,说可以亮眼睛。娜娜说,我吃这么多胡罗卜,眼睛都亮得睡不着觉了。
娜娜回到家很不高兴地说:“你也是白皮肤。”再仔细看看,她说:“嗯,你是有点黑。但你不yellow,只有怪兽才有黄脸和绿脸。”
娜娜总让我讲故事,有时我就应付她说,这个故事你小时候我都给你讲过。现在我让她复习芭蕾舞动作,她就说,我小时候都教你好几遍了。
娜娜哄妈妈开心,就说:你是世界上最好的妈妈,你的头发是世界上最长的,你的耳朵是世界上最小巧的,你的眼睛是世界上最漂亮的,你的肚子是世界上最大的(这哪里是夸我呢?!),你的衣服是世界上最rainbow的。啊?!她是说妈妈打扮的花枝招展吗?

new york state of mind/billy joel

 
 
Some folks like to get away
Take a holiday from the neighbourhood
Hop a flight to Miami Beach
Or to Hollywood
But I'm taking a Greyhound
On the Hudson River Line
I'm in a New York state of mind

I've seen all the movie stars
In their fancy cars and their limousines
Been high in the Rockies under the evergreens
But I know what I'm needing
And I don't want to waste more time
I'm in a New York state of mind

It was so easy living day by day
Out of touch with the rhythm and blues
But now I need a little give and take
The New York Times, The Daily News

It comes down to reality
And it's fine with me 'cause I've let it slide
Don't care if it's Chinatown or on Riverside
I don't have any reasons
I've left them all behind
I'm in a New York state of mind

It was so easy living day by day
Out of touch with the rhythm and blues
But now I need a little give and take

It comes down to reality
And it's fine with me 'cause I've let it slide
Don't care if it's Chinatown or on Riverside
I don't have any reasons
I've left them all behind
I'm in a New York state of mind

I'm just taking a Greyhound on the Hudson River Line
'Cause I'm in a New York state of mind

你从哪里来

培训开始,自我介绍。
你从哪里来?
我不加思索:中国。
所有人都笑了。
我画蛇添足:originally。
 
后来才醒悟,曼哈顿区已经是默认值。
老师在细问到neighborhood。
其他人说,上西城(UWS)、哈林区(Harlem)、中城(Midtown)。
我的正确答案应该是:上东城罗斯福岛。
 
罗斯福岛严格上说不属于曼哈顿,
它实际上是纽约县的一部分,
但被纳入曼哈顿管辖。
不仅如此,它还沾上UES的光。
 
话说回来,Where are you from?
我想,除非下次特意提醒自己,
我还是会脱口而出中国。
离开纽约,遇到这个问题,说纽约市可能更自然和方便些。
