亲爱的幂儿，
姥姥和爸爸讲，你在济南期间，已经适应和喜欢上济南的美食了，爸爸听了很开心，爸爸那时去济南看你时，也一个人偷偷跑去吃很多美食 ：）
讲些吃的吧，和姥姥外公和妈妈的台湾之行，我们去了美丽的日夜潭，在那里我们欣赏着美景和骑脚踏车，简单的活动，可是我们很开心。那时酒店地下的餐厅里，有一个饭锅，我们每天都期待着去打开拿卤肉饭来吃。爸爸个人认为比外面一些卤肉饭还好吃。
那时台湾之行，还有住民宿，去夜市玩，爸爸记得在凉凉的天气里，我们四个分享着炸鸡排，那时爸爸很开心呢，希望大家能常出来一起去其他地方看看，吃吃美食。后来爸爸在星马两地也没找到更好吃的卤肉饭，可能有时要看人和大家一起吃才香吧。
爸爸祝幂儿，天天有口福，享用着人间各种美食。
亲爱的幂儿，
爸爸小时候因为时常要来回两地读书，那时候要换巴士，要过旧的移民厅，蛮多时候要淋雨的。爸爸小时时候身体普通，有时淋了雨会感冒，后来因为打篮球后，身体比较好了。和爷爷在深林里找木时，也会遇到雨，不过爸爸很喜欢闻到下雨前，泥土和树林里发出的味道，一般上分两种，普通和好闻的。
很多时候，在十一月里特别喜欢下雨前，篮球场上吹来的凉风，阵阵的，仿佛那时爸爸打球特别准和厉害哦。爸爸喜欢的歌手，周杰伦有一首歌，叫听见下雨的声音，爸爸蛮喜欢的，如果再见到他时，会问能不能写一首闻见下雨的味道，哈哈，爸爸第一次去听他的歌时，他还没很红呢，带着帽子，很害羞的好歌手。
有一次，爸爸打完篮球时，满身像刚去游泳回来这样，一路从新加坡搭巴士回家，那时爸爸拿着篮球，因为没位子坐，一只手拉着扶把，一只手拿这篮球还背着书包，那时马来西亚的巴士有些没冷气的，一路上没现在流行的耳机听歌，只能听着外面下雨和引擎的声音交响曲。爸爸记得有件蛮好笑的事，爸爸握着的篮球被一个很温柔，很自然的手，拿走了，爸爸看着巴士外的雨，没想到，一位姐姐，轻轻的帮爸爸拿篮球，爸爸看她，一开始是傻了，后来才知道，她可能是要帮爸爸拿球，淋了雨也蛮可怜的哈哈。后来爸爸先到站了，和她说了声谢谢，把篮球拿回来下车去了。幂儿，原来人与人之间的善意，有时不需要语言来沟通，简单的眼神，简单的举动，会让你把这个回忆，留在心里，默默的支持你成为好人，帮助其他人。
爸爸祝你在下雨天理有颗柔软的心，帮助其他需要帮助的人。
Dear Rheia,
Your Grandpa, believes that we humans are self absorbed by mother nature and spend most of our time focusing on our own emotions, our pains, our fantasies and our happiness. During one of the harvesting wood trip, in a lorry, your Grandpa told Daddy that, we are just like a country pumpkin, we may be good in our wood business specialty, but there is always a lot of room for us to improve and we are like a kindergarten’s child in other fields.
Grandpa shared that the first thing when u open a pumpkin, (you may pick the different shape or size that you like), is to remove the seeds and pulp inside, before you even start to enjoy it in various preparations. In this case, grandma always prepare it with anchovies, simple and heart warming dish.
So according to grandpa, the seeds or inedible portion inside the pumpkin, is like our negative feelings, we need to remove them for positive things to come. (In this case, we are preparing a delicious pumpkin for our dinner 🙂
In many relationships, even between workers or business founder, like in grandpa case to our hardworking workers in the forest, you need to respect and balance it in a way like mother nature does. Even if someone hurt you, remember to remove the negative energy label and just be kind. (Like pumpkin)
The Pumpkins given by our workers. They are good people and always look for interesting harvest to give some to us.
Daddy hope you will remember this pumpkin story and find it useful in the journey of life.
