We survived 4 days of HBL, and today is also the start of PSLE. 💪
This time round, I never set up any schedule for the girls mainly because I wasn't very ready and since it's only 10 days 说长不长，说短不短. I have so much things not settle yet so I decided to let nature take its course. 🛶 船到桥头自然直。
Day time was pretty manageable, because the girls are busy with online work and homework. I prepare their snacks earlier which I shared on my IGS, or u can swipe left to see.
I started this in May which I shared on my blog (link in bio). Starting, they do not know how to control and finish the snacks before the "school" ends. Too bad no replenish. 😝
After awhile they get a hang of it and don't bother me about snacks, hungry etc.
They only keep calling me for IT stuff (no sound, no screen, change backgrounc) which is getting on my nerves especially when I'm trying to listen to my lecturer talking. 👹
It's not easy for us parents, it's also not easy for the kids.. although it seems like they are enjoying.. but occasionally they miss their friends, the social life they have and their emotions let out channel is greatly affected. Plus the uncertainty for those who are preparing for exam.
Sometimes not having a schedule, letting ourselves to relax awhile, it's good for our mental health.
Not sure how long this "one step forward, 2 steps back" restrictions will last.. 😅 it's good to rethink by changing our mindset so we can handle this pandemic better.
All the best to those who have kids doing PSLE! And may we all stay positive and love. 🥰

Stuff是美國人最常用的單字之一, 但台灣人很少很少用到它! 這不是因為stuff本身是個
很複雜的單字(stuff=東西), 而是因為美國人對東西(stuff)的概念與用法與台灣人稍微
不一樣吧! 譬如說, 中文可以說“你是什麼東西!” 英文卻不能說 “What stuff are
you!” (這樣問的話, 對方可能會說, “血肉??”). Stuff的另外一問題點是, 隨著詞性
的變化, stuff的意思會有很大的改變
1. (名詞) stuff=東西
2. (動詞) to stuff=填塞
3. (形容詞) stuffy=悶悶的
4. (名詞) stuffing=感恩節火雞的餡
那我們今天一個一個來分析, 看看美國人會怎麼使用stuff這個單字!
.
1. (名詞) stuff=東西: 如果你想指某個東西或你自己的東西, 但暫時忘了怎麼說或就是
懶得說出口, 那就可以用stuff. 如果你看到了真的不知道那是什麼的物體, 在這時候當
然也要說stuff. Stuff有很多固定用法與片語, 我們現在來看幾個比較好用的:
-Where’s my stuff? (我的東西在哪?)
-Is that your stuff? (那是你的嗎?)
-Who took my stuff! (誰把我的東西拿走了!)
-What IS this stuff?? (這到底是什麼東西?)
-That’s good stuff! (這是好東西)<<最常指吃的或毒品
-What kind of stuff do you like to do? (你喜歡參加什麼樣的活動?)
-I don’t like that stuff. (我不喜歡那個東西/那個活動)
.
例:
媽媽: “Your stuff is all over the house.” (你的東西到處都是啦.)
女兒: “Yeah.” (對啊)
媽媽: “Clean your stuff.” (整理一下吧.)
女兒: “Wait a sec.” (等一下啦.)
媽媽: “If you don’t clean it right now, I’ll tell your dad about the jumbo
box of condoms you have under your bed.” (如果你沒有立刻去整理, 我告訴你爸爸
你床下有大盒保險套.)
女兒: “I’ll take care of my stuff now!!!!” (我立刻來處理!!!)
.
例:
高雄女孩: “What is this white stuff?” (白色的這些是什麼東西?)
台北男孩: “This is dragon dandruff.” (這是龍的頭皮屑.)
高雄女孩: “What! LIAR! Dragons don’t have hair!” (什麼! 騙人!!! 龍是沒有頭
髮的)
台北男孩: “You got me. You’re really smart.” (被你發現了, 你真聰明)
高雄女孩: “Thanks…but really, what is this stuff?” (謝謝…不過說真的, 那是
什麼啦?)
台北男孩: “Your dandruff. You should really wash your hair more.” (你的頭皮
屑. 你真的應該更常洗頭髮啦.)
.
2. (動詞) to stuff=填塞: Stuff也有填塞或塞住的意思, 所以常常用來指吃的非常非常
飽(I’m stuffed!!!)或狼吞虎嚥(Stuff your face!). 當然我們也可以說, 把某個東西
stuff into某個地方 (stuff your socks into the bag [把襪子塞進包包裏]).
例: “Godzilla was so stuffed after eating three nuclear power plants, he
decided to leave the fourth nuclear power plant for MUTO.” (哥吉拉吃了三個核
電廠之後, 他超級無敵的飽, 所以就決定了把核四留給MUTO吃.)
例: “The Taichung girl stuffed her face whenever she was angry.” (那台中女孩
每次生氣就會開始狼吞虎嚥狂吃東西)
例: “After stuffing two rolls of toilet paper in her bra, the girl was sad
to discover she was still an A-cup.” (把兩卷衛生紙塞進胸罩之後, 那女孩很悲哀
地發現, 她還是是A杯)
.
3. (形容詞) stuffy=悶悶的: Stuffy有兩種意思, 第一是悶悶的, 悶熱, 第二是因為過
度正式而無聊, 第二個意思的來源是, 如果你穿西裝, 你會很悶熱, 所以這種很正式的場
合的那感覺與悶熱的感受就被連接在一起.
例: “The anteater is so stuffy, he only likes to talk about classical
literature and stocks.” (那隻食蟻獸好無聊~~~~~~, 他只喜歡討論經典文學和股票.)
例: “The Taipei basin is really stuffy, because too many dragons live here,
and they keep breathing fire.” (台北盆地真的超悶熱, 原因是這裏住了太多一直在
噴火的天龍.)
.
4. (名詞) stuffing=感恩節火雞的餡: 美國人的傳統料理, stuffing是感恩節塞進火雞
一起考的陷 (非常好吃!), 因為是塞進火雞而得此名.
例: “Stuffing proves American food is the best food in the world.” (感恩節火
雞餡就在證明美國料理是世界上最棒的料理.)
例: “When Little Bi said American stuffing is the best in the world, the
zebras occupied his room until he said sorry.” (小畢說了美國感恩節火雞的餡是
世界最棒的之後, 一群斑馬就來了占領他房間, 一直到小畢跟大家說聲道歉為止)
.
Get out of my room, zebras! 下課!
