Ethan had been waiting his letter from Tze Herng. Day by day...
Ethan : “Today we haven’t check out mailbox, maybe there are letter for me?”
I didn’t see the postman stop by our house today. I think probably the letter is not here yet.
Ethan : “Maybe we can check it out?!” he looked very excited. In fact, I worry he will be disappointed if there are no letter for him. It was drizzling out there. I thought of making an excuse to him. He said we have umbrella. Looks like I have no reason for him to delay the action.
After search thru the mailbox with lot advertisement papers and some other letter, none of it was for him.
Mummy : “你会失望吗？”
Ethan : “huh?! 什么是‘望’？
Mummy ><’
Mummy : “失望就是disappointed. Meaning to say, is a feeling you feel no happy as you wish to have it but you didnt get it.”
Ethan : “不会啊! Malaysia 来这边是要很久的。Postman 还没有找到我们的家啊！可能要多几天才到”
Hmmm… I think I am the one who worry he will feel disappointed. I am the one who are more excited to see him get his very first letter from his friend.
While closing the main door, suddenly I heard the flushing sound came from the toilet, again and again.... I was thinking '不妙', what the little Emmanuel had done. Quickly run up stair, hope to reduce the damage.
Mummy : "弟弟，你在做什么?!"
Emmanuel : "弟弟自己小便..."
Scared me! This time surely have a lot of clean up job to do. Thanks god! He just wet his pant a little but not everywhere. What a surprise from him. Phew....
2 days letter, we passed by the post office. While I was thinking surely this little boy will ask me something about it. 'Yappari'
Mummy : “That is snail mail, which needs postman to deliver thru airplane and then to our house. It will take some times to reach us. Maybe next time we can send ‘email’, that will able to reach Tze Herng immediately.”
Ethan : “Ok lah, next time we send email lah.” He sound a bit disappointed this time.
Mummy : “Good thing hoh, usually need to wait."
Ethan : “Ha! May be in the letter will have angry birds?”
Hmmm…. He starts to create his own expectation. That is his so call good thing huh!
At the other corner on the earth. We got the email about our little friends were flying back to home town by wearing the cars shoe and the 2 little boys there were still very exciting with the fly after come back from Japan. I am happy to know they are still very excited with it, this so call Japan trip really 排山倒海, 日出又日落 for them. Hope it will leave a little memory that will dwell in their little heart for long. Probably it will become one of their dream for something....flying to VENUS! little Tze Herng's favorite '2' for everything!
In fact, Tze Herng tried to write more letters after the first letter, whenever he feels wanted to. We haven't posted these as we are looking forward to receive Ethan's first letter too! We showed him your blog with the pictures of Ethan posting the letter, immediately he started to type something in your comment column. The content may sound meaningless, but he remembered it and he thought that the message has been sent to Ethan. With that, I decided to post his original comment here:
ReplyDeleteprinter card how do yous to do you have paper
another right side then i want to go
Got what he means? :)
He wrote another letter two days ago, and he has requested for a piece of tape to stick it at the back side. He said that when he goes to Japan he will ask Ethan to paste the letter on the wall at the 1st floor. In his mind, he is thinking that he will go again in near future...
