Tough Mathematics will kill his interest 2008-07-01 20:09:00 The kids were making some hoo-hah about the 'commotion' that happened in Tr O's house when I picked them up after work. H was saying that Tr O wasn't in a good mood and was giving the kids some loud lectures. W was holding a piece of Maths work. I also found out that W was being reprimanded for not being able to answer the Maths sums correctly. He was supposedly able to get the right answers but Read more:Tough
A wonderful invention for the hygiene freak 2008-06-30 11:50:00 I found this wonderful invention at a pharmacy last year. I almost cheered when I opened the pack at home (still not very certain of what I bought) and slowly took one piece of the toilet seat cover and place it on the floor.No more squatting on or layering toilet papers on airplane or train toilet seat. This would be one of the must-haves to pack for travelling use.
Hasslefree booking 2008-06-30 11:14:00 The next time you want to check into any Laughlin hotels, be sure to do your homework first. Compare the hotel rates, check out hotel amenities, hotel information, all at a one-stop centre.It’s just very simple, a two-step process that can save you the hassle of calling up or going through general traveling websites to sieve through loads of hotel details.Let the specialist do the job for you.
The Earth is sick 2008-06-30 10:32:00 On the way home after fetching the boys, W related to me what he learnt in school. He happily told me what his teacher taught him, 'The Earth
is sick because people burn rubbish. So, don't burn rubbish.'Not sure if he understands what he says, I gave him some express lessons on what would make the Earth sick such as smoke from the many cars on the road, rubbish thrown to the river and sea is hazar
I was a victim 2008-06-27 13:58:00 I remember I was about seven months pregnant with H when my car got ‘scratched’ by a commercial truck while stuck in a traffic jam. Despite my heavy condition, I was packed with energy and gave no second thought to get down from my car to negotiate with the driver in the middle of the busy road. The driver ignored me and drove away.No one got down to help this vulnerable pregnant lady then. Si Read more:victim
Have you changed? 2008-06-27 13:50:00 I've turned very emotional and compassionate towards kids. Any sight of kids especially young ones being abandoned or involved in tragedy, would make my eyes well instantly.Ever since having my own kids, I come to realise that each little being is special in their own way has potential to be successful in their future lives. It's a reality that parenting is more than a job. It's very exhausting to
Will you consider the spa or beauty business? 2008-06-27 13:24:00 Contemplating changing career or starting something on your own? Is the beauty or spa or personal fitness something you’ve thought of? If I have to choose something related to this, I’ll probably opt for a centre providing spa/massage therapy with personal training, to women only, of course. Simply because Mommy needs to be at her the fittest (to be a multi-tasker) and yet needs pampering too.
Would you insure your kids? 2008-07-22 04:51:00 Have you ever thought about these? When is the appropriate time to purchase insurance policy for your kids? As soon as they are born or when they go to kindy or nursery or primary school?If budget is a concern, which insurance policy would you choose to purchase first? Hospitalisation or accident policy? Would you even consider a child life insurance?Procrastinate not for the unexpected has no war
Training young kids to sleep alone 2008-07-21 00:51:00 I recently discovered how my sister trained her kids to sleep alone
. Though I find the method too drastic, I am impressed that both my sister and nephews coped with the training stage quite well. I would never be able to do what my sister did. Her older son was left to sleep alone when he was 1 year old. Going through the normal ritual of reading and saying their prayers, she remembered, as sh Read more:Training

Journey to diaperless nights - Night # 4 (Oops!) 2008-07-19 00:16:00 He actually woke up on his own and released himself in the toilet without waking me up. He must have accidentally wet himself whilst doing his business. It was then that he woke me up and asked for a change of pants. Read more:Journey

What franchise do you want to own? 2008-07-18 11:55:00 Are you on the look-out for franchise
opportunity? Or venture into a business you intend to build from scratch with your own skill set?If you ask me, I would choose a business which I could franchise later. Of course, it would take time to build one but if there’s a will, there’s a way. It requires a lucrative business model, a fool-proof system and also trainable skills to impart.
I am one of the Blogging Women 2008-07-18 01:51:00 I received a very pleasant piece of news today in my mailbox. I submitted my blog about a few days ago and got the news pretty fast. My blog is accepted into BloggingWomen
.A great start to a weekend!
Journey to diaperless nights - Night # 3 2008-07-17 00:50:00 Phew! A good third night. W was dry again. He asked to pee in the toilet at about 11pm and another time at 1+am. And, he walked out from the bedroom at 6+am, greeting us with a request, 'Mommy, I want to go to toilet'.It's a milestone for him only if he can maintain these dry nights
for at least one month.(Is that too much to ask?) . Like what H said, 'Maybe he's just lucky.' Yet to see.I just hop Read more:Journey

Who says Mother's Day can only be celebrated once a year? 2008-07-16 10:25:00 Honestly, I didn't know about the real history how Mother's Day came about until I read this website. Such an eye-opener. No wonder, this great day is receiving so much of interests and celebrated almost everywhere in the world.If you are not sure what to do for your loved one during Mother's Day, fret no more. Visit here to find out more about more meaningful things to do during this special day.
Journey to diaperless nights - Night # 2 2008-07-16 10:07:00 Last night was a breeze. I took a risk and did not take him to the toilet when I slept. He slept through the night until early morning when I woke up to prepare breakfast for H. He was still dry in the morning. In fact, he didn't even want to release himself until I insisted.Hurray! Another dry night. Read more:Journey

Competitive haircut 2008-07-15 20:00:00 Two headful of hair for RM17 (approximately USD5) is not too bad at this time of economy where price of everything seems to rise.Nevermind if the salon is run by a one-man-show (the business owner is the only hairstylist) in quite rundown shoplot with little interior design, no glamourous magazines to browse or pop music playing at the background. Customers seems to have adjusted to the waiting wh Read more:Competitive
I would only if .... 2008-07-15 02:15:00 Would you take any diet pills? I would if I have a body as pictured here. Or if I have attempted all possible ways to lose weight and yet don’t achieve any visible results.I would take if it’s certified safe by health association to consume with no side effects and I would probably need dieticians’ and health experts’ certification and endorsements that these are safe to take.

Journey to diaperless nights 2008-07-15 00:42:00 Last night, W asked to sleep without his diaper. He said, 'Da Yee said no need diaper' when I asked him why. Da Yee is Tr O's sister. It may have worked. I have earlier asked Tr O to 'psycho' W not to use diaper anymore at nights
. He is listening this time.Having no confidence that this will work and fearing that W is going to wet the bed again, I decided that he should sleep on a mattress pla Read more:Journey
I wish I can sew with a sewing machine 2008-07-14 21:00:00 So that I don't have to sew with a needle. It can be back breaking and needs a lot of eye detail too. My eyesight is not as impeccable anymore.Is there a better way to sew a badge onto the uniform? The adhesive doesn't work that well, still need stitching to have it well-attached onto the uniform.Now, my skills are tested further when H gave me his Boy Scout uniform to have all those badges sewn.
How to get the right curtains? 2008-07-13 11:35:00 I always have problems finding the right curtains to match the house. I used to think that all the curtains in the household must be universal and I end up spending a fortune tailor-making the curtains.Now, I use different curtains to match the occupant of the room. Eg. boyish theme in H's room, soft floral one for my bedroom and cosy and warm coloured curtains for the living room. By having dif
How do you reward your kids? 2008-07-13 10:50:00 I have a star reward
system for H. I started this system three years ago.Some of his deeds which deserve stars are :Initial stage1) complete all homework in a short time (as he advances in school, he doesn't get reward for this)2) practise piano without being told (again, it has already becoming a habit now for him to practise without being asked to)3) pack his school bag without being told4) help
I wish I could help 2008-07-13 10:33:00 A friend of mine has a son who is sitting for his SPM exam this year. She was relating to me that her son desperately needs help as he scored poorly in his language papers. He is giving himself unnecessary stress and seems to be losing confidence due to his poor performance in those subjects. He even blames my friend for not sending him to a good tuition centre but instead send him to centres i
Personalised gifts, anyone? 2008-07-12 10:41:00 Fancy your kids starring as Spiderman in DVDs or taking on a role in a story book? These may sound impossible, right? But, not anymore with the advent of technology.These DVDs, storybooks or even songs can be used as personalized gifts to friends or relatives or your own kids. My kids would love these as their birthday gifts. How often can we star in our favourite cartoon character?Novelty of thes
Remember Teletubbies? 2008-07-10 11:25:00 Any of you still remember Teletubbies
? I could still recall this show was a hit in 2000 or 2001 and H loved this show then. A lot of kids are crazy over this too. Apart from their adorableness and cutesy antics, these Teletubbies (I don't even know what kind of creatures they are) do not indulge in any dialogue. There are only 'oh oh' sound made by them throughout the show. Of course, there is a Read more:Remember
Would you bask in the sun for your kids? 2008-07-10 10:00:00 Is this scene familiar? Are all these people witnessing a fight or an accident? Or are they eagerly waiting in line for something or somebody important?They were mostly parents or grandparents waiting outside the school compound of their kids or grandchildren to pass them their lunch. I was one of them though I am not a regular despatcher of lunch. But, I've been there many times. In the past,
When can I own this? 2008-07-09 11:34:00 H longs to have a playstation 3 since a long, long time ago. In fact, any version from PS2 onwards will do for him. The other time, his friend invited him for a birthday party and one of the activities was a PS1 session. Even this, he had so much fun.The condition set to him is that he could only have a PS2 when he scores 7A's in UPSR (Primary School Assessment). Well, I better list down the rules
Why can't any video be uploaded in blogger.com? 2008-07-09 00:53:00 Is this problem affecting everyone or certain people? I saw someone with the same predicament in the Google Support community (did I say this correctly?)When I tried to post a response to this blogger, I wasn't able to do it. It wasn't userfriendly for someone to post a query or contact the support personnel if any blogger has any question/problems that need resolution.I hope someone reading this Read more:video
Slowing down on blogging 2008-08-07 08:30:00 I will have to slow down my blogging activities. My (uhh...) age is not permitting me to stay up so late to blog. (This is the only free time I have due to my day job). I'm slowing my pace so that I can get more sleep. My neck is probably also feeling the effects of late nights. I've been experiencing neck stiffness which I had earlier attributed to improper sleeping position. But, the uncomf Read more:Slowing
Do I really need a bluetooth stereo headsets for my mobile phone? 2008-08-06 00:26:00 Seriously, I didn't know that I need a pair of special bluetooth stereo headsets (for my bluetooth mobile phone
) until I google-searched and read more about it. I thought normal headsets will do the job. The fact that I'm asking those questions seem imply that I've not used any headset before. You are right! Mobile phones now come with speakers, so I don't need headsets. Do you? Read more:really need

Why is he having headaches? 2008-08-04 01:14:00 My mom said it and so did my sister. H had a great fall when he was one plus, creating the birth of a Frankenstein-like character in the family which lasted for almost two months.My mom and sister attribute his frequent headaches
to the fall he had. The paeditrician said the possible causes are too much of TV or prolonged computer time which strained his eyes causing his terrible headaches. I t
