I get to understand what Supermom means.

During school terms I pray for holidays.

As waking up early is not really a pleasant thing.

During term breaks I realized I should've not complained.

I found that they still wake up around 7am, Running around and switching on TV. And I must plan a perfect day lasting till 5pm, Playcentres, museums, zoo etc are all around city.

So, we travel and they quarrel inside the car, I yell and they cry till we get to the destinations.

They had fun and rated holiday as fivestar, Taking my supermom cape off I smiled with frustration.

Reptile Encounters Opens its Doors in Burwood!

Reptile Encounters is Melbourne's premier mobile zoo. And we’ve got some big news…

We’ve just opened a brand spanking new HQ in Burwood!

Just in case you haven’t heard of us, we’ve been delivering fun-filled, inspirational and highly educational wildlife programs to schools across Victoria for over a decade now.

We also throw legendary kids birthday parties, and can even bring the fun to your house!

Coming with super-friendly and smart wildlife ambassadors, we’re proud to boast a Saltwater croc, a Woma python, a Port Jackson shark and many more in our star-studded cast!

We believe it is absolutely crucial to give people an up close experience with Australian wildlife, especially as our society has become a little disconnected from nature. Our goal is to inspire our next generation of marine biologists and environmental scientists!

Climate change and pollution are without doubt two of the most dangerous, challenging and complex issues facing our country and our planet today. But if this generation is not connected to the natural world around them, how are they going to be motivated to fix it?

"In the end we will conserve only what we love, we will love only what we understand, and we will understand only what we are taught." Baba Dioum If you would like to meet some of our amazing critters head to

诗经·邶风·凯风 凯风自南，吹彼棘心。 棘心夭夭，母氏劬劳。 凯风自南，吹彼棘薪。 母氏圣善，我无令人。 爱有寒泉？在浚之下。 有子七人，母氏劳苦。 睍睆黄鸟，载好其音。 有子七人，莫慰母心。

啊，母亲 舒婷

你苍白的指尖理着我的双鬓， 我禁不住像儿时一样 紧紧拉住你的衣襟。 啊，母亲， 为了留住你渐渐隐去的身影， 虽然晨曦已把梦剪成烟缕， 我还是久久不敢睁开眼睛。 我依旧珍藏着那鲜红的围巾， 生怕浣洗会使它 失去你特有的温馨。 啊，母亲， 岁月的流水不也同样无情？ 生怕记忆也一样褪色啊， 我怎敢轻易打开它的画屏？ 为了一根刺我曾向你哭喊， 如今戴着荆冠，我不敢， 一声也不敢呻吟。 啊，母亲， 我常悲哀地仰望你的照片， 纵然呼唤能够穿透黄土， 我怎敢惊动你的安眠？ 我还不敢这样陈列爱的礼品， 虽然我写了许多支歌 给花、给海、给黎明。

译文: 飘飘和风自南来，吹拂酸枣小树心。 树心还细太娇嫩，母亲实在很辛勤。 飘飘和风自南来，吹拂酸枣粗枝条。 母亲明理有美德，我不成器难回报。 寒泉寒泉水清凉，源头就在那浚土。 儿子纵然有七个，母亲仍是很劳苦。 小小黄雀宛转鸣，声音悠扬真动听。 儿子纵然有七个，不能宽慰慈母心

最好的 聚会和玩乐 场所！ 1924 Princes Hwy, Clayton VIC 3168 Ph. 9544 5990

啊，母亲， 我的甜柔深谧的怀念， 不是激流，不是瀑布， 是花木掩映中唱不出歌声的古 井。。

编者随笔

最近我看了一些资料，洗刷了自己以前的三观。以前总觉得古代妇女 非常不幸，又不能自由恋爱，宋朝以后还要流行变态的三寸金莲小脚，还 有什么贞节牌坊，我们都说，现在社会解放了女性。其实，我看古代休老 婆的规定，还是蛮震惊的。古代有七个原因可以休了老婆，里面还包括整 天跟邻居闲言碎语，女权主义者要翻桌子了；且慢，但它还有三个大保 障，就是在这三个大保障之下，老公不能休老婆。包括，娘家已经没人可 依靠了；公婆已经去世，并且老婆为公婆守孝了三年了；最后一条请大家 注意：女的在你贫穷的时候嫁给你，你现在富贵了，不能休。 最后这一条打脸了多少现代社会抛弃糟糠之妻的人啊。以前也没有民 法，没人说你这样就错了，但宗族之间会以“礼”来互相约束和制约。但 现在我们所处的社会基本是礼崩乐坏，女性的社会地位真的提高了吗？ 这点毋庸置疑，你看小编还能读书写字，能有自己独立思考的能力， 这就是现代社会才能成全女性的例子。可是现代社会给了女性自由，也给 了男性自由，自由择偶，所以很多人剩下了，同性恋了，他们都爱打女权 的称号，说这是对女性的不尊重。 前一段时间妇女节，我们单位的领导是个女的，慷慨激昂义愤填膺给 我们做了一次演讲，大意就是现在的单位的领导大多数还是男的，只有等 到有一天女的在职业选择上跟男的平起平坐，女人才真正解放了。澳洲人 外国人啊就喜欢这种演讲，好像那一天真的会到来，一切都会完美的了。 我庆幸自己还有独立思考的能力，总觉得哪里不对。女人和男人生来 就是不一样的结构，大多数女性更感性一些，所以做领导所需要的果断， 公平和眼界并没有办法跟男人抗衡；女性的感性与仔细也在很多方面能够 做出男性无法达到的水平，比如艺术。世界这么多人，总会有几个例外， 老拿着她们说事其实真的是在鼓励女性青少年往正确道路发展吗？我们的 人生是不是要过成跟女金刚一样；还是眼高手低，整天看着韩剧幻想着有 一天霸道总裁也会爱上我？ 任何事情走了极端就要揣度下了，我觉得中国的女权还未真正成型， 西方的女权有点走了极端。我有一个女儿，我常常想，我该怎么鼓励她， 要做勇敢休夫的李清照，还是淡泊名利的居里夫人，还是上场杀敌的梁红 玉？她们就代表了女性的辉煌成就吗？我觉得把男人和女人做成一个对立 面来谈女权本身就是一个伪命题。时代的进步会促使两性都发生改变：包 括社会角色，职业技能，思考能力。我们不都是人类吗？每个人不都是独 一无二的吗？盲目参考别人的人生，只是浪费了孩子活一次自己人生的机 会而已。 所以我想我不会向我女儿宣扬女权，你是一个什么样性格的人就做适 合你的事情，你能在其中找到快乐很好，闲暇之余还能给人类进步做做贡 献那就是祖坟冒烟了。 侃侃而谈了这么多，其实就是想说，平时多读书多研究没害处，起码 头脑总能保持活跃的反思状态，吾日三省吾身乎！ 30
