【給自己一個機會紅起來】❤️
Give Yourself A Chance To Shine

如果說宇宙的力量可以分為五種，那那五種力量就是金、木、水、火和土了。

世界萬物萬事都能以這五行去分類，而每個人的八字就是這五行的獨特混合體。這混合體遇到外在人事物的五行力量時，就會產生不同的吉凶禍福局面。

我個人經驗是，就算有著同樣八字的雙胞胎，也不會有一模一樣的命運，因為面相有細微之分，姓名的字義、音韻、筆畫和含義也會有不同的靈動力，影響著雙胞胎的命運。

看命，關鍵就在於找出自己需要的五行是什麼。這很考經驗，不是把八字裡的五行加減乘除一番就能斷出。如果這第一步搞錯，全盤的分析就會錯得一塌糊塗了。

在捉準需要的五行後，再來就是引導客人如何在衣食住行方面去補運，進而趨吉避凶。坦白說，如果客人不照著做，其實來看命也沒什麼意思。

知道未來好或不好，然後就聽天由命嗎？那豈不是只是花錢，來聽我說出你人生電視連續劇的劇透而已嗎？

我見了那麼多客人後，自己有個感想。如果人生一切都很安好，但自己就是開心不起來，這樣活著如行屍走肉，太痛苦了。

在批八字時，我都會告訴客人該用什麼顏色來旺自己。不要小看色彩學，每個顏色都有它們的五行。我也多次以色彩學，幫助一些客人應徵成功，在疫情期間依然能奏效。

但在七彩繽紛的顏色當中，只要我一提到紅色，客人們的反應普遍都很大。

什麼？那麼亮啊？
我的老婆說看不慣我穿這色！
那不是天天過年嗎？
我以前的命理師也是這麼說，
但我就是沒有做。

我的答案：你穿了幾十年這樣的顏色，也不見得你好。想命好一點，何不試一下我說的顏色？

紅能分出深淺、濃淡、明暗和不同的色度。沒有人叫你每天穿得像紅包似的。你每天穿黑，也不見得你像包青天那般的黑白分明。

附上A小姐和B先生「走紅」後的個別見證。

寫這電郵見證的B先生，在九月與我做了個後續諮詢。我遠遠看到他時，就已在想，怎麼身上絲毫沒有改變，而且還一副苦瓜臉？

他說，當初我三月見他時，他剛買了一堆衣服。顏色雖不利他，但他不捨得丟，而且老婆也不支持他穿紅色。公司裡的人也都是穿暗色的。

我說，那些新衣你也穿了幾個月了，可以拿去捐給有需要的人，佈施也不算浪費。老婆固然好意，但命是你自己的，你痛苦只有你自己知。

對待自己的命運，我們應該持有科學家的研究精神。你不去做這個實驗，你永遠不會知道我說的到底對不對。做這個實驗不難，不妨叫你的太太給你一個機會去改變。

換衣服顏色而已，又不是叫你換老婆。😂

與其內心糾結直到頭腦打結，我永遠選擇踏出第一步試一下。Never try, never know.

我一生人經歷了那麼多起起落落，老實告訴大家，命好起來時，心豁然開朗時，那種感覺真的很爽。不信，你試一下。

If the energies in the Universe can be categorised, they would come in the 5 forms of Metal, Wood, Water, Fire and Earth.

All manifestations, be it things or events, in this world falls under these 5 elements, and each and every one of our Bazi is the combination of these 5 elements. The interaction between these elements in our Bazi and those in our circumstances will result in myriad of happenings, good fortunes or otherwise.

My personal experience tells me that even though 2 person may have exactly the same Bazi, but their destinies may turn out different. Reasons being the discrepancy in their facial features, the meanings, tonality, character strokes and essence of their names.

The crux of reading your own destiny lies in uncovering which of the 5 elements is or are mandatory for you. This calls for plenty of practical experience. It is not simply doing simple math of plus, minus, multiply and divide. If this first step is wrong, the whole deck of cards will surely collapse.

After deciphering the correct element, the next step is do guide the client on how to use it to boost their energies in all aspects, from external clothing and living environment to what they eat so as to attract good tidings and ward off misfortunes. Frankly, if the client is uncooperative, the whole of point of Bazi analysis would have been lost.

To know how your future will unfold but behave like a sitting duck? That’s just like buying a movie ticket to watch a preview of your life drama, isnt it?

I had this thought after seeing so many clients: if one’s life is seemingly smooth sailing but one remains unhappy, such zombie-like existence is very painful.

During a typical Bazi analysis session, I would always recommend the client certain colours favourable to him or her to boost the luck. Never underestimate the power of colours. Each colour has its own elemental nature. I have used this successfully several times to help clients succeed at their job interviews, even during this pandemic period.

However as soon as I mentioned the red colour, reactions from my clients tended to be bigger than usual.

Why?
Such a bright colour?
My wife said she’s not used to me in this colour!
That’s like Chinese New Year everyday!
The previous master I consulted said so too, but I did not heed the advice.

My answer: if you have been wearing your same old colours for the past many years and getting not much favours from Lady Luck, why not give my suggestion a try?

There are many tones and shades of Red. Nobody is asking you to dress like a big red ang bao (red packet) everyday. Dressing black everyday doesn’t make you Justice Bao either.

Attached are testimonies from Miss A and Mr B after they went red.

Mr B. came to me in September for a follow-up consultation. When I saw him from afar, I was thinking why there wasn’t any sign of change in him. He even sported a sour face.

He told me that after seeing me in March, he had just bought some clothes in colours that were unfavourable to him. He couldn’t bear to throw them away, and his wife didn’t really support him wearing red either. He said his colleagues were all wearing darker colours.

I told him that those clothes he bought had already served him for several months and he could donate them away. That would not constitute wastage. His wife may have good intentions but your destiny is your own business and only you know your sufferings.

We ought to treat our destiny with the spirit of a scientist. If you don’t experiment, you will never know if my methods work. This experiment is a simple one, ask your wife to support you this once.

It’s only changing the colour of your clothes, not asking to change your wife. 😂

Rather than getting oneself in knots, I will always choose to take the first step. Never try, never know.

My life’s journey has been that of ups and downs. Frankly speaking, when the winds begin blowing in your sails, and lift your spirit, those emotions are exhilarating. Don’t believe me? Try it out yourself.

说一说…..小黄花

多年前，我和朋友到云南旅行。
一个晴朗的下午，我们的车子开在一条马路上，两边尽是一望无际青翠的草原，厚实的云层低得让你以为只要用力踮脚伸腰就触手可及，而穿过云层洒在青草上的是神圣的耶稣光……好美好美。
我忍不住请司机大哥在路边停车，跑到草原上拍照。
我顺着耶稣光的方向走去，绿油油的草原间，长满了一朵朵闪耀的小黄花。
我把长镜头对准其中一朵小黄花，想把它在阳光下的灿烂留住。

仔细一看，刹时一阵深深的感动。
这朵小黄花的花瓣是心形的，镜头里的它好像在跟我说“我爱你”。
也许是它把我召唤到这里，让我们相遇，然后把一份强大的爱赐予我。

2007年，在好友采妮（杨采妮）的发起下，我和Gigi（梁咏琪），秀秀（许茹芸）决定成立一个儿童慈善教育基金会。
为基金会取名时，我想起了那朵充满爱的小黄花，提议了小黄花这个名字。
小黄花是野花，它在艰难的环境下成长，经历日晒雨淋，暴风吹打，却勇敢接受磨练，长得越来越粗壮，最后终于开出了灿烂的小黄花，散发着属于它的光芒。
这个精神正可以用来鼓励贫穷家庭的孩子，而我们可以透过基金会的角色，把我们的爱变成滋养他们的土地和阳光。
决定了这个名字后，我把小黄花的照片递给女儿，当时八岁的她就画了今天大家所看到的小黄花标志。

2008年，回归家乡，2010年年底，进入贫民区开始提供免费午餐，2012年正式注册。

十年，从贫民窟的免费午餐计划……至今天两间中心“小黄花乐园”，照顾上百位贫穷家庭的孩子，提供他们免费营养午餐，教育，课外活动，未来规划…..至疫情管制令期间购买医疗防护用品捐赠医院，提供六百多个贫穷家庭粮食….，这一路沿着初心走来，所有参与小黄花慈善教育基金会的工作者，无不深深地感受爱的力量。

这些孩子照亮了我们内心的慈悲，让我们发现原来爱才是真正让我们变得强大的养分，而这份强大不强势，不咄咄逼人，不傲气，而是一份非常温柔和温暖的强大。

多年前，阅读了特丽莎修女的传记。
她一生的全部财产就是一尊耶稣像，三套衣服和一双凉鞋，她为印度数不尽的贫穷家庭和快要死亡的穷人服务。
她把一生都奉献给贫穷人们，让他们受到尊重，关怀和爱。

她说：
爱自己，爱他人，爱生命里一切需要爱的事物，不要任何理由。
哪怕生命微小到只是一根细小的灯芯，燃烧了，就能照亮自己，也能照亮他人。
甚至，你还可以尝试去照亮一个世界。
每次回顾特丽莎修女的事迹或是她的语录，简单的几句话，就能让我轻易感动至眼眶泛泪。

十年，从当初“一定要喂饱孩子”的初心出发，到今日得以结合大众的力量一起关爱更多的贫穷家庭，心里尽是感恩，感恩再感恩。

很多人都觉得做慈善机构很难，很难在现今追求名利的社会里找到志同道合的伙伴。
但这十年里，从事这份慈善工作，我一直都遇见了许多非常伟大，善良的同伴，更因为这份工作而结交了许多以前身为艺人没有机会接触在各个领域已很经成功，还致力从事慈善工作的人们，让我感受到了这个社会里非常强大和温暖的力量。

因为一份关爱，打开了我的心，我的眼睛，甚至我的整个世界。

行动管制令期间，因为募款的款项非常踊跃，于是小黄花的五位员工异常忙碌。
她们每天忙于接收善款，处理捐款的文件工作，回复捐助者的讯息，定期向大众更新最新的善款运用详情，致电关心各方提供的本地贫穷家庭，难民，外籍工作者的状况，安排食物订购和运送，处理医疗防护用品的订购事宜，行动管制令开始放宽后，就忙于探访特殊案例家庭和老人院，做进一步的了解，以便能提供他们更长远的援助。

她们很忙，很累，但她们说“内心很感动，从来没想过自己有一天竟然在国家陷入困境时，与许多素未谋面的善心人士一起，帮助那么多在这片土地生活的人们。”

我很爱很爱我的伙伴们，因为她们的加入，让这份工作得以持续下去，还不停成长。
因为她们的付出，让更多的贫穷人们得到关爱。

特丽莎修女虽然已经离开人世，但她的精神和能量还在发挥着强大的影响和指引。
而还在人世间的我们，也许可以就如她说的：
我们当中极少数人能做伟大的事情，但每一个人都可以用崇高的爱去做平凡的事。
Few of us can do great things, but all of us can do small things with great love.

1) 感谢所有在疫情期间帮助我们的义工。

Let’s talk about….. Little Yellow Flower

Many years back, I went to Yunnan with my friend. It was a sunny afternoon. Our car was driving along the road, both sides covered in vast fresh and green grassland. The heavy clouds were hanging so low that you will feel as though as it is within reach just by stretching out your hands while tip-toeing. Also, passing through the clouds, were the divine looking crepuscular rays sprinkling over the grasses…. It was really, really beautiful and magnificent.

I just could not help it but to request for the chauffeur to pull up by the roadside, running into the grassland to take a picture. I walked and followed the ray’s directions in the lush green grassland towards a spot where there were just many small little radiant looking yellow flowers. I pointed the long camera lens towards one of the little yellow flower, wanting to keep its brilliances while under the sunshine.

Taking a closer look at the flower, I was suddenly deeply moved. The petals of this little yellow flower are heart-shaped. It seems to be saying “I Love You” to me through the camera lens. Perhaps it was the one who is calling me, letting us meet and bestowing me a sense of powerful love.

In the year 2007, with the initiative from Charlie Young, who is one of my best friends, and together with Gigi Leung and Valen Hsu, we decided to set up an education charity Foundation for the children.

When we were naming the Foundation, I thought of the little yellow flower which was full of love and proposed to use “Little Yellow Flower” as the name of the Foundation.

The little yellow flower is a flower which grows in the wilderness. It has to grow under the harsh environment, experiencing the beating weather like the scorching hot sun, drenching under the rain and bracing itself in the forceful windy storms. Yet it endures and accepts it bravely, growing into a splendid looking little yellow flower, shining radiantly and brightly.

This spirit can be used to encourage the children of poor families and communities. Through the Foundation, it enables us to transmit our love to nourish their soul and become their sunshine.

After deciding to use this name, I gave this picture to my daughter and the Little Yellow Flower logo which you all see today is actually drawn by her who was only 8 years old at that time.

Year 2008, I returned to my homeland. End of 2010, we started to provide free lunch for the children in the slum area and in 2012, we are registered formally in Malaysia.

10 years… from providing free lunch program in the slum areas, and now at present, we have 2 centers known as “Little Yellow Flower Wonderland”; Taking care of more than one hundred children from poor families, providing them free nutritious lunch, education, extra curriculums, fun learning and future planning…..During this pandemic and Movement Control Order period, we have purchased, donated Personal Protection Equipment and goods which are medically treated to the hospitals and also provided essential needs and food for over 600 poor families and individuals.
During this journey, with the original intention of the Foundation, all the staffs in Little Yellow Flower Education Foundation, sensed the deep power of love.

These children have lighten up our innermost compassion, allowing us to realize that love is the nutrient that makes us more powerful. However, this strength is not intensive, not aggressive, not arrogant but rather one that is much gentler, tender and warm.

I have read Mother Teresa’s biography many years ago. Throughout her life, her entire assets consist of only a Jesus statue, 3 sets of clothes and a pair of sandals. She served countless numbers of the poor and cared for the sick who are at the brink of death in India. She devoted her life to the poor, allowing them to be respected, cared for and loved.

She has said: “Love yourself, Love others, Love everything in life that needs to be loved. Even if life is as tiny as a wick, when ignited, it is able to illuminate oneself and also others. So much so that you may even try to light up the whole world.”
The corners of my eyes would easily tear up whenever I look back at Mother Teresa’s achievements or quotes, even though it is just those few simple words.
With the intention of “Must feed these children” from 10 years ago up to today, to be able to combine the strength from the public together to care for these poor, I am forever, over and over again filled with gratefulness.
Many people think that to serve in charitable work is very difficult. Difficult to find like-minded partners in this modern society where it is all about fame and profit. But during these 10 years, ever since engaging in this charitable work, I have met many great and kind-hearted people. It is also because of this work, I am able to meet up with a lot of successful people from various industries (people who are not in the entertainment industry). These people are also actively involved and committed in charitable work. This reminded and gave me a great sense of energy, strength and warmth still exists in the society.
Because of this care and love, it has opened up my mind, heart, eyes and my whole world.
During the Movement Control Order, due to the enormous responses from the fundraising event, all the 5 staffs in Little Yellow Flower were extremely busy.
Every day, they are busy receiving donation, processing documents, responding to the donors’ messages, regularly updating the public about the funds raised and used, finding out about the condition and needs of our local poor families, refugees and migrant workers. Making orders, preparing and delivering out essentials and food to these families in need, handling orders and making arrangements for the medical personal protection equipment.
When the Movement Control Order restrictions were relaxed, they are now busy with visitations to households of special cases and nursing homes to further understand their situation, to be able to provide them long-term support.
They are awfully busy and very tired but they told me this: “We are deeply moved. Never have we thought that there will be a day when the country would be in difficulties and we would be heavily involved, working together with so many kind people whom we have never met before to provide assistance to the people living on the same land as us.”
I love my workmates very, very much. This work is able to continuously grow and develop because of their participation. It is because of their efforts, more poor people are being cared for.
Although Mother Teresa has left this earthly world, her spirit and energy is still exerting powerful influences and guidance. To those of us who are still in this secular world, as she has said: “Not all of us can do great things. But we can do small things with great love.”
P/S:
A) Thank you very much to all volunteers who have helped out during this period of time.
😎 Little Yellow Flower Education Foundation is now hiring. If you are interested to join us, you may contact us at 017-3844123. (FEMALE ONLY) 😊

【教書育人，立德樹人】(English writing below)

「李老師，怎麼我看妳都不會發火的？看來我要跟妳修行，學學妳的耐性！」

上星期，一位同事突然冒出這句可愛的話語。

我教書不知不覺已有十一年, 教了至少兩百多個學生。教導小朋友和我的客人，其實沒什麼分別，一樣都是迷糊，一樣需要一位老馬識途的老師來引導，有些小孩其實比大人還懂事。在這引導過程中，我嚴厲時，客人、孩子是否能受教，就看他們對我的信任和自身的學習態度了。

身為老師，臨場反應和懂得變通是很重要的，而我自己對這三項事也很堅持：

一、我不稱讚學生的外表

有些父母會把幼小的女兒打扮得很漂亮，頭髮綁得美美，每星期穿著不一樣的蓬蓬公主裙，頭上還戴著一個小皇冠來上課。但穿得再美麗，我絕不對她們說：「哇！可愛啊！漂亮啊！美麗啊！」

課室不是選美的舞台。我不想學生們的心靈建立在外表上，內心卻是空洞的。沒有被李老師稱讚漂亮的孩子，心裡會怎麼想呢？以後她們也要打扮漂亮來上課嗎？父母若沒這經濟能力呢？
.

某小一生喜歡打扮清涼，總穿著牛仔熱褲和無袖露臍裝。她向我喊冷，被我狠狠地訓：「妳來上課，妳知道課室有冷氣，為什麼妳沒有穿好來或帶外套？妳看老師也沒穿妳那樣的衣服，妳的朋友也沒有。每個星期老師在講課，妳冷到分心，又一直打斷老師的課喊冷。那妳告訴老師，這是妳的問題還是李老師的問題？」

她默默地說：「我的問題。」

「是妳的問題，妳就自己去解決，不要把妳的問題推給老師，妳這樣是很自私的。」

那天下課，我提醒她母親讓孩子帶外套上課。她母親得知後，就說：「哎呀，她啦，每次都要穿成那樣，說那樣才美！」

「媽媽，孩子不懂，需要家長的提醒。我已告訴孩子了，請媽媽協助。」

那也是那小女孩在我課堂上，最後一次喊冷了。

.

那天是新學年的第一堂課。

這小孩躲在課室門外，無論媽媽怎麼勸和哄，她都一直哇哇大哭，不肯踏進課室。所有的孩子都已就座，唯獨她。我看著她那嬌小的身影，心想要上課了，總得想個辦法。

我走到門外，伸出我的手，說：「下午好，我是李老師。妳可以告訴我妳叫什麼名字嗎？」

孩子一把鼻涕，一把淚地說出自己的名字。我便驚呼：「XX，哇！妳知道嗎？妳的頭髮好漂亮啊！卷卷蓬蓬的！李老師好喜歡啊！是媽媽幫妳梳頭嗎？還是妳自己梳？」

就這樣，一問一答中，我慢慢地把孩子牽進課室了。那是我第一次，也是最後一次稱讚她的外表。我是真心覺得她的自然捲髮很漂亮。據聞，這孩子到別班補課時，還是會哭得唏哩哇啦，唯獨來我班。她自己也說不上為什麼。我想，也算是我們師生間的一種五行的緣份。

..........................

二、我注重孩子的禮儀

某次有位同事說，助我的課是一種享受，因為學生的秩序好，功課也好。

我要求孩子進到課室，要向老師打招呼 （很多都不會），上課時不許講話，也不準以英語和同學溝通，交上作業，要放整齊。要上廁所，要先站好才問老師：「李老師，請問我可以上廁所嗎？」而不是一邊拉著褲子，一邊嚷嚷：「我要去廁所！」

禮貌，是最容易行的善，也是我們人類最初學的善。

在這方面，我很有原則。同事問我，為什麼注重學生們的體統和禮貌？

我說，這才能製造一個好的學習環境，對老師來說，教書愉快，對小朋友來說，學習也愉快。懂得說謝謝，懂得說對不起，懂得謙讓，可以促進人與人之間的關係。將來他們長大後，我希望他們好的禮貌，能為他們贏來好的人緣，工作起來，很多事情會比較順利。

..........................

三、我對能力強孩子的要求

每一個班上，都會有些小朋友天資聰穎，一教就會。完成功課彷彿電光石火般的速度。

問題是，年紀小小就比同學們卓越時，會忽略了互相幫助的重要。

有一次，一位已完成功課的學生被我安排去協助班上較弱的同學。她教到一半時，發出很不耐煩的聲音，馬上被我喝止。

「妳也會有做錯功課，或不會做功課的時候，李老師每一次都教妳，有沒有這樣地喊過妳？」

她扁著嘴搖搖頭。

「那妳為什麼沒有學習老師教導的態度，去幫助妳的同學？」

她說不出話。

「妳很聰明，老師很開心，妳的學習能力很強，但老師希望妳的聰明不只是為自己，也能夠去幫助比妳慢的朋友，就好像老師用我們的聰明來幫助你們，大家一起進步，這樣的聰明才是最厲害的。」

天賜於你大能力，你就要學會擔當比較大的責任，種下善因，將來依舊有這因緣能有大智慧。

..........................

這十多年來，教了兩百多個學生，遇到很多不同類型的父母和莘莘學子。我當然也曾被一些孩子推倒，抓傷，甚至大聲吼叫，也曾親眼看到同事被學生用鉛筆挫傷手掌，鮮血淋漓，嚇得我在那兒大呼小叫。

很多父母有空生，沒空教，沒能力教，這是事實。我無法用我的玄學本領來改善他們的家庭問題，雖難免有遺憾，但在四面牆的課室裡，我盡我教書的能力，幫助家長們培育他們的孩子。

無論是客人還是小朋友，在我心中，從來都沒有壞學生，只是我還沒找到最適合的教導方法而已。

今年我遇到很多很棒的老師，都很努力地貢獻給小朋友。感恩有她們的陪伴，也很感謝父母們這一年裡送給我的禮物。

我們都是人類靈魂的工程師，大家再接再厲，一定能賦予孩子們一個非常健康的生命成長過程，讓他們擁有既美好又有意義的回憶。

.....................................................

"Teacher Lee, why do you never get angry? I must learn spiritual cultivation from you to learn your patience！"

Last week, a colleague adorably said that to me out of the blue.

I have been teaching for 11 years unknowingly. Teaching my clients and young children are not very different. Both are equally clueless, both need the guidance of an experienced teacher. Some children also turn out to be more sensible than adults. In this process of guiding, when I am strict, whether the clients or students can accept the teachings, will depend on their trust in me and their personal learning attitude.

As a teacher, adaptability and spontaneous reaction are very critical. And these are the three matters that I am very principled in:

1) I do not praise the outer appearance of my students.

Many parents will doll up their daughters for class. Some little girls will come with fanciful braids and in different princess frocks every week. There are some who even wear a sparkling tiara. No matter how prettily dressed they are, I never exclaim at them, "Wow, how cute! How pretty! How beautiful!"

A classroom is not a stage for a beauty pageant. I do not wish for the young children to build a strong mindset based on external appearances, and have an empty heart. For the children who do not get praised on their appearances by me, what would they be thinking? What if they too wish to dress up next time? What is going to happen if their parents do not have the financial ability to support their vanity?

.

One P1 girl liked to dress in denim shorts and sleeveless cropped tops. Very often, she would complain of coldness. Once I got very stern and told her, "You know that the classroom is air-conditioned. Why did you come to class without a jacket? You do not see me dressed like you, your classmates do not either. Every week, you would get so cold that you cannot focus in class and would interrupt me often with your complaints of coldness. Tell me, is this a problem you or Teacher Lee created?"

She replied quietly, "I created."

"Since you created this problem, then you have to solve it yourself. Do not push your problem to me. That is very selfish of you."

That day after class, I reminded her mother to pack a jacket for her. After knowing what happened, her mum said, "Aiyah, she lah, always want to dress like that, say like that then pretty."

"Madam, the kid does not realise that, so she needs the reminder from her parents. I have already spoken to her and I seek your assistance."

That was the last time the little girl ever complained of coldness in my class again.
.

It was the first lesson of a new academic year.

This child hid beside the classroom door. Regardless how her mother advised or coaxed her, she cried non-stop, refusing to step inside the class. All the kids were already seated, sans for her. I looked at her minute figure, and looked at the clock. The class got to start soon. I had to think of a way.

I walked out of the classroom and stretched out my hand, "Good afternoon, I am Teacher Lee. Can you tell me your name?"

In between her blubbers of tears and mucus, the child told me her name. I exclaimed, "XX, wow! Do you know that your hair is very pretty? It's curly and bouncy! Teacher Lee likes it a lot! Did Mummy comb your hair for you, or did you do it yourself?"

Just like that, in our mini Q&A, I slowly led the child into the classroom. That was my first and last time complimenting on her looks. I sincerely do think she has really pretty natural curls. From what I heard, when this child goes for make-up lessons in other classes, she would still cry like a baby, except for my class. She couldn't tell me why either. I guess, this is an elemental affinity of our teacher-student bond.

..........................

2) I value manners in my students

A colleague once told me that assisting me in my class was an enjoyment, as the class had good order and the children could do their work well.

I insist that children must greet the teachers when they enter the classroom (Many don't). They are not allowed to talk during lessons, and definitely not in English. When they submit their work, they have to do it neatly and not throw it onto the teachers. If they wish to go to the restroom, they must stand properly and ask, "Teacher Lee, may I go to the restroom?", and not grab on to their pants and yell, "Teacher, I want to go toilet!"

I am very principled on this, and my colleague asked why the extra emphasis on propriety and courtesy?

Courtesy is the very first form of kindness that we humans learn, and it remains as the easiest kind deed to do.

My reply was: so that we can create a conducive learning environment, that the teachers enjoy teaching in and the children revel learning in. Knowing how to say thank you, sorry and giving way can enhance inter-personal relationships. When these children grow up, my hope is that with their good manners, it pave the way for better relations with people, and life will be much easier for them at home and at work.

..........................

3) I have expectations towards children of stronger abilities

In every class, there will be some children that are especially smart. They learn fast and finish homework at the speed of lightning. Problem is, when they are better than their peers at a young age, they do not always understand the concept of helping one another.

Once, I asked a student who had finished her work to help her weaker classmate. Halfway through, she made loud exasperation sounds and I immediately put a halt to her behaviour.

"There will be times when you do your homework wrongly or do not know how to do. And every time when I teach you, have I ever shouted at you?"

She pursed her lips and shook her head.

"Then why did you not learn my teaching attitude to help your classmates?"

She could not say a word.

"You are very smart and I am happy that you have strong learning ability. However, I hope you do not use your cleverness only for yourself, but also to help your friends who are slower than you. Just like how we teachers use our cleverness to help all of you, so that everyone can improve themselves together. Such cleverness is the most amazing kind."

When Heaven bestows great abilities onto you, you have to learn how to shoulder greater responsibility. As you plough these seeds of kindness, you then regain the affinity for great wisdom even in your next rebirths.

..........................

Having taught 200+ students in over a decade, I have met many different types of parents and children. In this journey of teaching, I have had students who pushed me down with force, scratched me and bellowed at me. I once witnessed a fellow teacher, who had her palm stabbed by a student with a pencil. It was somewhat an accident, but still...

Many parents have the time to give birth to children, but do not have the time and ability to teach. That is a fact of reality. It is always with a slight regret that I cannot use my Metaphysics ability to help them manage their domestic issues, but within the four walls of a classroom, I do my best to help parents groom their children.

Be it my clients or these young children, in my heart, there is never a bad student. Sometimes, it is just that I have yet to find a teaching method that is most suitable for them.

This year, I met many great teachers who are working very hard to contribute to the children. I am thankful to have their help, and also thank you to the parents who have showered me with gifts this year.

We are all engineers of the human soul. Let's work hard so that we can give the children a very healthy growing up process, and that their childhood memories will be beautiful and meaningful.

It has been a journey to be able to uncover one of the many songs she’s written and she is truly happy & proud of the completed work— “3 thousand hours behind the scenes, for a 3-minute performance”— could not better depict this latest single release better.
Special thank you to MV Director Vernon & his production team for bringing the story of Natalia’s song to life.
Also, a heartfelt thank you to Aaron Huang Yi for the music arrangement and Percy Phang for the most beautiful lyric translation.

『 Waiting For You』

曲： Natalia 黄彩菱
词：彭学斌
制作人：Aaron 黄一

一个人 很安静 在黑暗中陪伴你
冷空气 深呼吸 要如何将爱抱紧

Can you hear me
Can you feel me
我是为了你而存在
害怕未来 怕时间太快
请不要离开我

I’m waiting for you
I’m waiting for you
用我的等待 换你留下来
如果能够 再一生够不够
只要你明白 I’m waiting for you

两个人 两颗心 在黑夜中更透明
我爱你 这决定 要如何让它继续

Can you hear me
Can you feel me
我是为了你而存在
害怕未来 怕时间太快
请不要离开我

I’m waiting for you
I’m waiting for you
用我的等待 换你留下来
如果能够 再一生够不够
只要你明白 I’m waiting for you
