童爸於墨西哥的回信(八)

hey tungtung,

10 years ago, your dad watched the british film 'billy elliot'. the boy wanted to dance but his dad did not accept it. he kept fighting for his dream and succeeded.

there are many people who insist on what they are doing, and may not succeed, but the way people work on their dream is nice and inspirational.

when your dad was young, i read a lot by Vaclav Havel, especially his contribution and involvement on Charter 77. i met him briefly in Lou Reed's concert in Prague. i wanted to get his autograph but failed.

we all want to live with dignity and freedom, and we need institutional environment to provide that. many people are contributing to that, and i hope, if you wish, you could be one of those, as a contributor, not just a taker. of course, that's your choice.

would you like ballet? from your way of jumping, seems that there is a tendency. you don't need to convince me to learn or practice ballet, unlike what billy did to his dad.

what you need is to convince and commit yourself.

today is the final day of negotiation in Cancun. your dad's organisation organised a stunt this morning 'lives on the line' in the beach. it aims to urge the negotiators to agree pro-poor decisions here cause the stake is high. sink or swim?

i know, i know, i always miss the chance to witness some critical moment of your growth. thanks tungmonm for recording it for me.

missing u two v........much!

給在墨西哥的童爸(16)--劉曉波

今日我們也來支持在獄中的劉曉波,
他沒法到oslo領獎,一張空櫈子,意義重大.
頒獎禮中的小提琴聲,很震撼,叫人動容.
每天對著一大堆文字的童媽,
實在不能想像這年代仍有文字獄,
只希望童童長大後是敢言敢作的人,
也但願那時的政府,有真正願意聽不同聲音的領導人.
------------------
今日另一令童媽氣憤的,
是看到有採訪趙連海事件的香港記者,在內地被人掌摑,
一直很敬佩跑內地聞新聞的記者,他們遇到的困難,
比我們在香港的任何一個也多.
究竟何時何日,這國家才有真正的新聞自由,採訪自由.

給在墨西哥的童爸(15)---另一里程

請留意他最後數秒的古惑臉兒

----------------

童爸

記得每次你出差,總錯過童童的一些里程,

例如第一次爬行,第一次站起,都在你離開時發生,

這次呢?童童學懂得雙腳離地跳高了,還要不斷跳不斷跳.

給在墨西哥的童爸(14)---跳跳跳

爸爸就快番嚟啦,開心到跳起!

給在墨西哥的童爸(13)---byebye龜龜

給在墨西哥的童爸(12)---冬日早上

一直不肯戴帽,唯獨看到這帽子有bear bear,便立即戴上頭

冬日陽光非常耀眼,這張相的童童有點似內地北方的小孩

準備到圖書館還書,行行下太大風,我們溜入美心避風兼吃早餐,童童邊吃邊要看richard scarry

童爸,

這兩天氣溫急降十多度,

全街的孩子也全副武裝上街去,

但在冬日的陽光下,又不是那麼寒冷,甚至有點熱,

結果帽子還是戴下便除下來.

沒有胖子童爸,我攬著穿著一身冬衣軟綿綿的童童,一樣溫暖; )

童爸於墨西哥的回信(七)

TUNGTUNG,

I LOVE YOUR VOICE AND YOUR WORDS!!!

THANKS TUNGMOM.

I LISTEN TO IT MANY TIMES.

IT'S LIKE WATER IN DESSERT

DAD

給在墨西哥的童爸(11)---念清明上河圖

繼續是童童的講話片段.(上極上唔到添)

這個月他突然說很多,有時是鸚鵡學舌,我們說什麼他跟著說什麼,例如我指著picture book說bumblebee,他有樣學樣說bumboobee.

有時是他不知某時學了的東西,例如近日他見到有耳杯便叫coffee.

不過,令我最深印象,倒是自他看完清明上河圖後,竟念念不忘這畫及畫中的camel.

早上飲奶說故事時間,他多次要求要說"camel"同"畫畫",我只好拿著那本明報出版,很多字很少圖的清明上河圖解說,跟他逐頁當故事說.今日下午婆婆到訪,他好興奮向婆婆介紹書中的camel,拉拉(牛拉車),water(河流)同wheel(那位製作緊木車輪的工人).

給在墨西哥的童爸(10)---牙牙學語篇

童爸:

今日我們在公園逛途中,收到你的電話,童童跟我也很興奮,

你亦可以親耳聽聽童童的聲音.

回家後,便想到錄一條他講話的影片給你看.

童爸於墨西哥的回信(六)

hey tungtung,

when i was travelling in africa, i was kept being asked by people, 'do you know kungfu?'.

even worst, when i reported to the police in south africa about the worst theft i experienced, the policeman asked me more than 10 times this questions during the probling.

see the impact and legacy of bruce lee!

u may not know as well that bruce lee and your dad studied the same secondary school, of course at different times.

but your dad is never a fan of bruce lee; nor do i like watching kungfu film.

'bb bruce lee' as what longlong calls u. love to see what you do the kungfu. must be very funny.

here we're entering the second week of the climate talks. some decent progress in the details in the first week but still unclear if there is enough political momentum to move things forward. options are everywhere in the texts for negotiators to pick but broader political drive is urgently needed. will see.

this talk is not only about your dad and mom, but will closely affect you, tungtung.

i think of u, here, there and everywhere.

love under the sunshine.

dad

給在墨西哥的童爸(9)---bruce lee

周日返教會,好似另一個playgroup,這裡的bb個個都好斯文好乖

童童爬上slide後大叫hello hello

童爸,我們遇上那個愛笑的bb,在圖左剛入不到鏡頭,他已經兩歲了

童爸:

請不要被童童在教會玩的可愛斯文樣騙倒,

他到了晚上在麻麻家,可變了另一個樣子.

自從思瀧思朗表哥迷上了李小龍,便常作功夫表現,

童童看到不知幾開心,

佢真的是老翻王,看到表哥打功夫,

立即學起紥馬來,揮拳踢腿(可惜動作太快我無法拍下來),功架十足,

那晚童童穿了件黃色衫,朗朗話衣著更似bruce lee,結果被朗朗冠名為"bb李小龍",

見到佢紥馬出拳的樣子,真的唔知好嬲定好笑(這是繼其騎馬後,第二個超搞笑動作).

------------------

能跟你的老友roberto在墨西哥見面,實在太美妙,

我也想過會否在泰國,荷蘭,英國或某地,跟我的英國同學再見面,

希望童童有天能跟roberto的兒子,在地球某角落一起踢波一起笑.

p.s.請留意fb,明與ida會將三個小鬼頭在球場的相放上網.

童爸於墨西哥的回信(五)

hey tungtung,

lovely to hear your calling for your own name 'tungtung' last night. it sounds so lovely and funny.

actually your mom and dad have an idea to record down what you say. that would be lovely and exciting. your first english word is 'car'.

increasingly, u are going to have our own identity and being aware of your own identity. tungmom and tungdad will be on your side when u explore your own path.

today i saw a 'creature' (actually it was a small animal with long tails) on the grass, and was scared a bit!! then i thought of u, and probably u would be braver than your parents.

today i called my dear old friend roberto. his son is now around three years old. one day, you may meet them. like when you met dylan and emma. but got to remind u, uncle roberto is very philosophical, and has a strong tendency to conceptualise.....

the sun is still very nice here. the beach is terribly awesome. but your dad never got the time to enjoy.

i told uncle roberto: i am in Cancun, but i don't feel like i'm in mexico.

don't forget: take care of tungmom! your mom changes a lot because of u :-)

with all my love!

dad

給墨西哥的童爸(8)---朝九晚九

9.00am 起床,吃早餐,到公園與表哥楠楠會合玩

10.00am 陽光很燦爛,天氣很溫暖

10.00am 表弟小叮與我們會合,三個老表一起玩,童媽乘機溜去球場跑了十個圈

10.45 am 去完遊樂場再跟小叮一起去圖書館借書睇

2.00pm 與clara ee與姨丈到沙田探望公公婆婆

4.45pm 到樓下公園玩,由日光日白玩到太陽落山都唔願走,仲攞埋公公行路竹玩. 6.00pm 黃昏,有點清涼,正值magic blue時段,很美麗

6.30pm 先到超市shopping再返婆婆家吃晚飯

--------------------

童爸,

今日你終於跟童童通了電話,

還聽到他跟你說tungtung,是否很開心呢.

不過,那一刻他剛睡醒,不太清醒,無法與你對談便要掛線.

-----

今日童童由朝玩到晚,

早上跟小叮與楠楠在公園玩了良久,

我乘機抽身到球場跑了十個圈,很高興.

-----

下午則到公公婆婆家,又再跟他到公園玩,

他真的是由朝玩到晚,太陽落山了,

他還是待在公園看一對父子打羽毛球(或許他想起你);

看姐姐踏單車;

跟小朋友玩hide n seek(其實是人家玩,他自己走埋去跑呀跑,以為哥哥姐姐正跟他玩),

我想像著,長大後的童童,或許是愛待在公園無聊聊的死靚仔.

----

回家,八點半,他倦得閉著眼吃奶,草草刷牙,便帶著一天的快樂沉沉睡去.

童爸於墨西哥的回信(四)

hey tungtung,

you're starting your weekend with tungmom.

your mom has been hectic for the week and your dad is not around. i'm sure you're not alone.

so funny to see your picture tracking the truck, holding the book....i could imagine how you actually looked like.

u know what i often does here? show your picture to colleagues here. of course normally to those who have children as well. we chat on children and that's my way to resolve my missing to u. a colleague from US uses skype to talk to her son (8 months). i told her your mom doesn't know how to use skype.

still have to work over the weekend.

i've been thinking how you pronouce your name ..... tung tung :-)

hey lozai,

really grateful to your hard work, keep updating tungtung's blog. this has been my motivation and i try to check quite often to see you and tungtung.

enjoy the nice weekend with tungtung

love love

dad

給在墨西哥的童爸(7)---friday night, yeah!

終於到星期五晚上,感覺竟異常興奮,因有兩天假期來臨.

這周工作著實很忙,每晚也很夜歸,

回來見到童童已呼呼大睡,

我亦什麼也不管,一頭栽進床便睡.

童爸,你說每天睡得很少,這可是你的致命傷,

因睡眠是你最大精力來源,你平時睡少一兩個小時也如要你命,

你可要爭取時間,好好地睡.

幸好從你電郵來的相片,坎昆可是處不錯的方,

陽光與海灘,絕對是渡假而非開議勝地,

不知我們仨日後有無機會到這遙遠的地方旅行?

寄給在墨西哥的童爸(6)---爸爸pig

童童生活點滴:上playgroup,新來的老師nicole,來自南非的英國女孩,她熱情可愛,又懂得逗小朋友笑,童童看來很喜歡她呢

平時上playgroup不會影相,我跟nicole說爸爸出差去,很掛念童童,所以拍些照片給爸爸看,nicole以她的開朗笑容說of course!

這天nicole教大家zero,然後齊齊畫個大大隻的0

童爸:

童童現在見到pig,總會依然叫papa pig papa pig,

他繼續每天由早到晚聽小白免哈哈笑,

一切看來沒有大變,但有些東西卻又在不知不覺在改變.

例如他現在會說很多,包括第一次叫自己的名字---童童!

今朝他突然指著自己的相片說tungtung, tungtung,嚇得我呀.

又例如他突然會識數one two three four......ten, 唯獨是不懂講seven.

很多東西,原來已在他的心裡播下種子,等待成長然後爆發出來的一天.

童爸於墨西哥的回信(三)

hey tungtung,

heard that you have been very busy since i left. playing around with namnam and visited by grandparents.

are u missing me?

do u think i miss u? u know my answer.

do u still call 'papa pig'? do u still sing 'little white rabbit'?

do u still.....

last night was the only night that i could sleep nearly 6 hours. feeling physically better tonight.

things are still moving slowly. there are things that you may never understand. how come japan say NO to Kyoto Protocol, a Protocol that was adopted in Japan?

things change. people in hk talk about post-80s or post-90s. in your generation, people would communicate in the digital world.

but your dad still thinks there are some fundamentals that should not change and would not change.

Sowing the seeds of .....love as what Tears for Fear sings?

super-missing you and lozai!

dad

寄給在墨西哥的童爸(5)---tractor

婆婆來探童童,仲餵佢食飯添

看到什麼咁肉緊

之唔係他心愛的車車----一架巨型混凝土車

你睇下我最後借了本什麼書---my first tractor.佢日後好啱去地盤做,可以日日對住各式形式的工程車.

---------------

童爸:

我想說,童童不愁寂寞.

這兩天婆婆ee也有來看他,

而他又天天到namnam家泡,

昨日南南媽而去camp,南南爸要晚歸,

童童便索性由下午四點泡到晚上,跟南南晴晴一起玩一起吃晚飯(差點未一起睡),

完全唔願意返屋企.回家,晚上八點多,便呼呼大睡至天明.

-----------

在明報看到你的文章,對,今年的氣候會議不及去年談得火熱,

大家好像已忘記了全球暖化這曾經火紅紅的話題(雖然今期經濟學人的封面故事仍然是全球暖化,但又有幾多人看economist)

或許又要待來一場嚴重天災,大家又算到氣候變化去;或者歐美國家領袖又以此作話題向中方施壓,才再有人關注吧.

童爸於墨西哥的回信(二)

hi tung tung and lozai,

tung tung is really growing every single day and we could see the difference. it's miraclous. i want to be with him everyday, even though he may shout 'papa pig' :-).

the first day was a mess here in cancun in terms of the logistics arrangement. different things are happening at different buildings and you have to take shuttles to move around. internet access was unstable as well.

today it is much better. i'm also getting into the picture. feeling excited again to talk to people about climate finance.

last night, we were sitting on the grass to have our team meeting. the sky's clear and stars're shining.

missing you both and wanna big hug!

dad

寄給在墨西哥的童爸(4)---又到聖誕

去完圖書館,頭昂昂行返屋企

返到屋企樓下,發現有野睇喎,當然唔返屋企....原來係聖誕到

童爸:

今早我跟童童的節目是到圖書館看書,

回家前,發現樓下保安叔叔正在佈置聖誕裝飾,

童童當然十分好奇,就站在那裡以他一貫的眼定定方法,

觀察良久也不願返屋企.

記得去年聖誕,童童還是個未會走路未懂說話的bb,

(我還記得melissa ee買了套聖誕老人服給他扮鬼扮馬)

今年他已是會快步跑(近日更不斷學原地跳高!),

能說簡單短句的小男孩.

時間,在小孩子身上,特別顯著.

等待著你回來一起渡過聖誕!

p.s.今日你在電話問我,童童有沒有叫爸爸,

我說好像沒有呢......我後來記起,當我開電腦寫blog時,童童一見電腦內有你的相片,便大叫papa呢

寄給在墨西哥的童爸(3)--爸爸哭

好佬?好型?

飲水都要cheers

童媽練跑,童童日光浴,曬到佢呀.... 童童小叮一起晨運

童爸:

幹麼童爸你那麼感性呀,不過,我倒明白你的心情.

昨晚九點幾,我正在公司忙著,

收到童童的電話,很溫柔地跟我說了一聲good night(身旁的clara ee教他講的),

我真的溶化了,很想立即回家攬他一把.

童媽

童爸於墨西哥的回信(一)

hey tungtung and lozai,

arrived Cancun very late last night. feeling very tired after over 26 hours travelling while missing tungtung's face (he was drinking milk) in the morning when i left.

everytime when i travel, i miss you all and have to rely on tungmom's updates of tungtung's blog.

when i saw it last night, tears came out, as usual.

the beach here is extremely beautiful, and it is not very hot but humid.

just settled in after the morning meeting and catching up with people and things. starting to orientate myself into the climate talks, which is already the fifth times i participate already.

if i have to leave a message in a bottle to you both, it will write "love the earth that breeds love".

see u.

dad

寄給在墨西哥的童爸(2)---掛住

無意中拍下這幅波波在童童面上的相片,很有趣

現代的吹波波功具五花百門,一時間可以製造大量bubbles,如灑下波波雨,很美麗.

周日下午,沒有童爸,由clara ee帶童童到playground發洩精力

童爸:

二十多個小時飛行,你應該很疲累,看看童童的相片,輕鬆休息下吧.

童童好像知道你出差,沒有如以往起身後不見你,會張開手問爸爸?爸爸?

不過今日跟他路經你每天上班的地鐵站口,他還是大叫爸爸爸爸.

有時在家無聊,他又會不斷自言自語練習叫爸爸pig爸爸pig爸爸pig,

佢現在越叫越熟練,我也沒法子叫停,

或許童童長大後會暱稱你做"魔豬爸爸",哈.

---------

沒有你的周日,童童仍是很多節目很忙碌,下午clara ee跟他到遊樂場玩個夠,

晚上又跟一眾老表玩,他跟晴晴表姐及小叮,在我們的床上大玩hide n seek, high到暈.

不過,當一眾表姐表弟離開後,他自己在床上準備進入夢鄉前,

突然大叫爸爸,爸爸,大聲得在客廳也聽到,

然後便慢慢睡著了,

他還是掛住你的.

寄給在墨西哥CANCUN的童爸(1)---照顧媽媽

何時,童童會懂得照顧媽媽?

要影一張四正的自拍照,一點不容易,有時光線不啱,有時童童左擰右擰,這兩張,算ok

今朝清晨七時,童爸準備離家搭二十多個小時飛機到墨西哥參加氣候變化會議,

就如去年底到丹麥哥本哈根開會一樣,一去便是半個多月.

我跟童童原也在睡夢中,童爸說再見,我們也醒來了.

童爸跟睡眼惺忪的童童解說一大輪為何要離家一陣子,

最後說:"爸爸要離開香港兩個多星期,那你要好好照顧媽媽,明白嗎?"

原本懶在床上的童童突然彈起身,用力點了三下頭,然後又懶懶瞓番到床上.

小鬼真的聽得明嗎?我不知道,但這天童童則好乖巧,童爸不用擔心.

-------

希望你到達CANCUN後,能第一時間看到童童最新情況,

所以想到送你一張我們的合照,為你未來兩個多星期的忙碌工作打打氣,

保重呀.
