好媽媽生濄好老師

I visit Tamarind's blog occasionally and thanks to her, I found this Chinese book with the above title. There is a bit of an error in the title of the book as my "Fan Ti" is very bad hence I do not know the correct word for the word "sheng".

My chinese sucked even when I was in school. I dreaded chinese language classes and exams. Nonetheless, I was amazed that I managed to get B3 for both O levels and AO level at the first attempt.

Currently I read, type and write chinese occasionally at work hence my chinese language has not all gone down the drain.

But but but.....I have never ever read a Chinese book in my whole life except for those necessary in my course of study, not even a Chinese novel. I decided to give it a shot and borrowed from the library.

I found myself smiling away when I read the paragraph about Christmas.

I have been wondering if I should tell him about Santa or I should just let him know the facts.

The author went to a great extent to create an imaginative and wonderful experience for every Christmas during her daughter's childhood. I thought if I were to do that, Matthew might feel deceived eventually. However, the author shared that her daughter totally enjoyed her Christmas during her childhood days. Even though she eventually knew that there was no Santa, she still loved Christmas.

This is a good book where the author shares about her daughter's growing up experiences. It made me realise that some of the things I had been doing were wrong. I have learnt so much from this book even though I am only at the beginning of the book.
