Some Things are More Important

 Dad crept quietly into the pitch-black  living room. He looked all around him, nobody was there. "The kid must be asleep," he thought. He sighed as he set his coat on the table and sunk into his comfortable armchair.

"Daddy,may I ask you a question?"

Dad almost fell off his armchair in fright as his son somehow  materialised out of nowhere.

Dad:"Uh...*awkward* Yeah sure, what is it boy?"  He reached for today's newspaper.

Son: "Daddy, how much do you make an hour?"

Dad: "*frowning as he set the newspaper aside* That's none of your business. Why do you ask such a thing?"

Son: "I just want to know,Daddy.  Please tell me, how much do you make in  an hour?"

Dad smiled, "If you must know, I make $100 an hour."

Son: "Oh! (With his head down). A moment later, the boy asked to borrow $50.

The father was furious. "If the only reason you asked that is so you can borrow some money to buy a silly toy or some other nonsense, then you'd better march yourself straight to your room and go to bed. Think about why are you being so selfish. I work hard every day just to get repaid by this childish behavior?"

The little boy quietly went to his room and shut the door.

The man sat down and started to get even angrier about the little boy's questions. How dare he ask such questions only to get some money? However, after about an hour or so, the man calmed down, and started to think: Maybe there was something he really needed to buy with that $ 50 and he really didn't ask for money very often. The man went to the door of the little boy's room and opened the door.

Dad: "Are you asleep, son?"

Son: "No daddy, I'm awake".

Dad: "I've been thinking, maybe I was too hard on you earlier. It's been a long day and I took out my aggravation on you.Here's the $50 you asked for."

The little boy sat straight up, smiling. "Oh, thank you daddy!"Then, reaching under his pillow he pulled out some crumpled up bills. The man saw that the boy already had money, started to get angry again. The little boy slowly counted out his money, and then looked up at his father.

Dad: "Why do you want more money if you already have some?"

Son: "Because I didn't have enough, but now I do. Daddy, I have $100 now. Can I buy an hour of your time? Please come home early tomorrow. I would like to have dinner with you."

The father was crushed. He put his arms around his little son, and he begged silently for his forgiveness. The embrace was long and warm. A joyous atmosphere indeed.

It's just a short reminder to all of you working so hard in life. We should not let time slip through our fingers without having spent some time with those who really matter to us, those close to our hearts. Do remember to share that $100 worth of your time with someone you love? If we die tomorrow, the company that we are working for could easily replace us in a matter of days. But the family and friends we leave behind will feel the loss for the rest of their lives. And come to think of it, we pour ourselves more into work than to our family.

Some things are more important.

前一段时间，参加了一个童玩生活营,宗旨当然就是为了推广逐渐失传的传统游戏啦！今天我就来和大家分享几个传统游戏吧！
基本上，传统游戏分成两种：
a)静态游戏  
-不须劳动肢体，耗费力气，用到体力跑来跑去，跳来跳去的游戏。

b)动态游戏
-当然就和静态游戏相反，玩了过后会累会流汗的游戏。

今天要来谈谈的动态游戏：
A）KALIDUI （Galah Panjang)
人数：10人或以上
学习：团体合作，互相配合，过关闯局

1)选好AB两队阵容，若以10人为例，分成两组人比，一组为功，一组为守。决定哪一组先开始，以最快速度“攻城”，另一组则要“守城”

2）守城一组守在四或五条线上，管卡的多少视玩的人数而定。每位守城员，只能在自己平行线上活动，双脚须踩在线上为准。他们的任务是要阻挡敌方闯关，也就是要想办法把敌人围住，并想办法用手碰到对方，让他们丧失闯关资格。

3)第一个步骤，进攻组派一员与第一线上的守线员打手，即可开始闯关。他们必须紧密配合，分散敌方的注意力，让自己其中一员成功闯关。进攻组要在不被捉到的情况下，顺利冲过所有关卡，然后再跑回起点，只要有一人可以躲过所有防卫，过完一来一回的关卡，就算成功。相反的，如果进攻组一员被敌方碰到，进攻组全员就算输了。

4）进攻组与防御组每一盘对换角色。

Will create and English version of this traditional game soon.  Thx.
