            Last night just asked my kid whether 'bah' is another short form or just a trailing sound (keep seeing it). He said just a sound usually used in dismissive mood.

            Is bah related to 吧?

                I must say that immersing ourselves in a different culture overseas do open up our horizons, which enable us to look beyond our narrow views/perspectives that many of us hold, due to us living in an enclosed and much protected environment for many years.

                JMHO. 😄
                This I too agree. Although I was not educated overseas as in living in the country, I had the opportunity to live overseas due to other reasons a few times for a few years. I believe in experiencing other cultural lifetstyle to widen our horizons, not necessarily through the education route. These experiences certainly help alot in our views to many things in life.

                    Like I was discussing this topic in another forum as well…DH & I wonder if it’s cos the kids nowadays are too "fortunate". They’ll usually get whatever they want, cos parents are usually working, so when they can, just provide them whatever kids ask for.


                    Thus, when kids can’t get what they want, they feel stress & upset abt it and can’t solve the problems…any thots?

                      There are different stories behind each unfortunate suicide case and it won't do any justice to discuss/speculate what had gone wrong in that instance. We can however reflect upon ourselves as to how adequate is our parenting styles and our relationship with our loved ones.

                      It is not solely a matter of dual income family splurging on their kids; personal opinion is that it is the strength of the relationship between the kids and their loved ones. At that moment of weakness/despair, it will be what they believe that they stand to lose from such an act that will ultimately influence the decision and outcome of the situation.

                      If you have nothing to lose, you have nothing to fear.

                      JMHO.

                        I second that thought, jedamum.


                        Speculate all we want, but the true story lies behind
                        those who really had to undergo the unbearable
                        passing of a loved one through suicide.

                        The strength of family kinship is essential in facing
                        life's unknown challenges, be it triumphs or despairs.
                        Not just children per se... all of us really..... each and
                        every one of us.... if we know that we can be there for
                        each other, for better or for worse... in times of happiness
                        or in times of sadness... in easy times or in hardship, ALL
                        of us can go through with life without even thinking of that
                        easy way out = suicide.

                        I can definitely attest to that. Cause recently i was dealt
                        with a massive blow that led me to a short depression phase.
                        With God as guidance and strong family relationship with my
                        parents... my daddie, especially... even though suicide then
                        seemed the best way to end my depression and heck, leave
                        all that darn shit behind for good... i bounced back with a
                        stronger sense of achievement and in the hope it will bring
                        me back on track where i have left off. I cannot undo the
                        things that have been done. I cannot wish nothing happened.

                        All i can is ...... keep moving forward.

                        Or ala Chief's favourite movie - Nemo.... Just keep swimming! 😉

                        😉 at you, jedamum!

                        PS 1 : Having tremendous support from siblings, close friends & wonderful
                        new and also anonymous KSP-found friends, also helped with building up
                        that strength to come back with a bang. Thank you all... i'm eternally
                        grateful.

                        PS 2 : This is why many parents nowadays prefer the open-relationship
                        styled parenting, in the hope that if our children can tell us anything....
                        anything at all.... they won't have to turn to dunno-which-friend-or-foe
                        for advise and support... cause WE will always be here for them.
