After a complaint post to my hubby, I think I should write something about his good.

I appreciated my hubby is a good helper especially in housekeeping. I know not every man willing to help their wife to do the housekeeping. I am happy my hubby is the one will help me to do some ‘higher level’ housekeeping.

Hubby helps me to clean ceiling fans and wall. He helps me to mop. He even helps me to wash clothes or any other housekeeping upon my request. I called this ‘high level’ housekeeping because I need to take good care of my back. I always need his helping hand when I back pain comes back. The best is, he done the great job! 

Why you like moss? I rather remove it.

Do you have the same thinking as well? Perhaps you will find it special.

I like green environment and nature. Moss is one that helps to create green and peace atmosphere. Of course, I am not happy if the moss grown at some places which make the place looks dirty. But if you can manage it well, moss is your beautiful green carpet at your yard or garden.

Here is the idea I stolen learned from people’s website on how to promote moss:

And in case you want to try promoting your own moss in your yard, here’s a simple recipe we’ve been keeping in our bookmarks that will promote moss growth on stone, brick and the like:

Mix up a batch of 12 oz. beer, 1/2 teaspoon of sugar and a couple of clumps of moss. Paint this mixture thickly on any damp shady surface you’d like to be moss covered and the moss will slowly grow and spread.

Life is full of experience and fun to be learned. Here are the tips of smarter way to fold shirts. Thanks to those who is willing to share. Because they are willing to share, all of us are the beneficiary.

I like this video. Who is the intelligent creating such a wonderful idea? If you are operated a fashion house or you need to fold plenty of clothes, you can consider to this method. But for me, this is a bit hassle at the first step. The making of folding board makes me think twice.

This tip looks more faster. Some claims that they can did it in 2 second. I think you need to keep on practice before you manage to do it in just 2 second for a shirt. Anywhere, it is a brilliant idea to save time on folding shirts.

Here is the video link for English version. This is the best explanation and presentation that I manage to found:

Enjoy the videos and make it one of your talents!

Rest, play, relax, rest, play, and relax. This is what I did in the long Chinese New Year Holidays.

I just love being empty brain in these few days. Not much to think, not much to worry. Stay relaxingly all day long. This is what I can do only during this lovely festival. I really enjoy my holidays.

Once a year being lazy and empty brain is acceptable, right? Take a good rest at the beginning of Lunar New Year. Charging full power of energy, I am well prepared to face the coming toughs and difficulties in Year 2010.

This is what people called: Take a rest for a longer journey.

Cheers!

No need to go anywhere but this is so near to my place. We are really having fun at Critterland on last Sunday. This is a playground newly opened not only for kids but for families.

Adults and kids are welcome to join the fun. This is the place not only kid’s dreamland but for adults as well. Don’t be shame to play with your kids. For sure your kids will refuse to go home unless they are out of energy. The experienced told me that children will only ‘force to agree’ go home after at least 4 hours playing.

Here is the TOT Zone. But I think kids will not spend much time here unless the infants. There are more fun to go!

Kids love the balls pool. There is having 2 balls pools. One is in the TOT Zone and this is the bigger pool with Slides.

Get ready? Let me teach you how it’s work. The Critterland’s staffs are young and helpful. Do you like their uniform?

Lava Dome explosion! This is one of the corner kids will play again and again non-stop.

Where to go? The place is so big. Children can run here and there. The place and the play equipments are colorful and adventuresome.

Air Guns Shooting Corner – Not only boys but girls also love the game.

Focus seriously. She is so temps to shot the target!

Lady Tarzan is here! I thought my princesses not dare to play but I am wrong. It’s just unbelievable my princesses having so much of energy playing this again and again.

Here comes another fun playing equipment. Don’t worry about the landing. This area is well furnished with thick sponge flooring. *Thumb up!*

Jump. Jump . Jump. There are 4 trampolines and you can play together with your kids with so much of fun. Play with the kids. This will be one of the sweet memorable in life.

I especially like the quote which stick on the wall:
We stop playing because we grow old. We grow old because we stop playing.

A little bit about Critterland:
Experience the magic of Critterland’s five captivating worlds!; Set yourself on fire in the Interactive Lava Room, but be careful not to let the explosive Lava Dome spew all over you, if things get too hot, escape to the Slippety Slides for high octane thrills! Try the Sponge Drop if you feel like flying and for the really little ones, there’s the TOT Zone to keep them occupied. There’s something here to ignite the imagination and warm the spirit of everyone in your family or group.

Our birthday packages can include a personalized cake, birthday certificate to mark the occasion, pal stickers for all the guests, goodie bags, to a safari hat and a special birthday chair in their very own birthday party room.

I have deeper thought after reading this article. I don’t have the practice reading bedtime story to my two little princesses even thought I did try for a period. But I just can not do it consistently due to so many unpredictable happens everyday.

I don’t know how others do when bedtime story time but my condition will be like this: -

Before start, I will ask my two little princesses promise me to sleep after the story. Then I go on with the story that they chosen. After story they will have some question to ask and started talking and chit chat then end up I need to scold them to bed….

I just have no more energy to entertain them. It’s not easy for a working mom lay on the bed at night, can not sleep but keep on disturbing by her princesses.

Let’s back to the topic. This is really a good idea to me. Finish story reading is not the end but we can go further with discussion and lead our kids to think deeper. It’s a fairy tale and it can be a good material for life topic as well.

The article indicated that it is American education / teaching style. Perhaps our school teachers and parent will do like this as well so that our kids having better thinking, more concern, caring, right judgment as well as good humor. I do hope I come across this earlier. But I know get start now is not too late.

So sorry the article is in Chinese version. I apologize for no good to translate. Perhaps you don’t feel the hassle to paste it in translator and read it.

美国人的教学法

灰姑娘故事 — 挺有意思的
(从事教育者不可不读）
美國老師如何跟學生講灰姑娘故事

上課鈴響了，孩子們跑進教室，這節課老師要講的是灰姑娘的故事。

老師先請一個孩子上臺給同學講一講這個故事。

孩子很快講完了，老師對他表示了感謝，然後開始向全班提問。

老師：你們喜歡故事中的哪一個？不喜歡哪一個？為什麼？

學生：喜歡辛黛瑞拉（灰姑娘），還有王子，不喜歡她的後媽和後媽帶來的姐姐。辛黛瑞拉善良、可愛、漂亮；後媽和姐姐對辛黛瑞拉不好。

老師：如果在午夜12點的時候，辛黛瑞拉沒有來得及跳上她的南瓜馬車，你們想一想，可能會出現什麼情況？

學生：辛黛瑞拉會變成原來髒髒的樣子，穿著破舊的衣服。哎呀，那就慘啦。

老師：所以，你們一定要做一個守時的人，不然就可能給自己帶來麻煩。
另外，你們看，平時都打扮的漂漂亮亮的，千萬不要突然邋遢的出現在別人面前，不然你們的朋友要嚇著了。
女孩子們，你們更要注意，將來你們長大和男孩子約會，要是你不注意，被你的男
朋友看到你很難看的樣子，他們可能就嚇昏了（老師做昏倒狀，全班大笑）。

好，下一個問題：如果你是辛黛瑞拉的後媽，你會不會阻止辛黛瑞拉去參加王子的舞會？你們一定要誠實喲！

學生：（過了一會兒，有孩子舉手回答）是的，如果我是辛黛瑞拉的後媽，我也會阻止她去參加王子的舞會。

老師：為什麼？

學生：因為，因為我愛自己的女兒，我希望自己的女兒當上王后。

老師：是的，所以，我們看到的後媽好像都是不好的人，她們只是對別人不夠好，可是她們對自己的孩子卻很好，你們明白了嗎？她們不是壞人，只是她們還不能夠像愛自己的孩子一樣去愛其他的孩子。

孩子們，下一個問題：辛黛瑞拉的後媽不讓她去參加王子的舞會，甚至把門鎖起來，她為什麼能夠去，而且成為舞會上最美麗的姑娘呢？

學生：因為有仙女幫助她，給她漂亮的衣服，還把南瓜變成馬車，把狗和老鼠變成僕人。

老師：對，你們說得很好！想一想，如果辛黛瑞拉沒有得到仙女的幫助，她是不可能去參加舞會的，是不是？

學生：是的！

老師：如果狗、老鼠都不願意幫助她，她可能在最後的時刻成功地跑回家嗎？

學生：不會，那樣她就可以成功地嚇到王子了。（全班再次大笑）

老師：雖然辛黛瑞拉有仙女幫助她，但是，光有仙女的幫助還不夠。所以，孩子們，無論走到哪裡我們都是需要朋友的。我們的朋友不一定是仙女，但是，我們需要他們，我也希望你們有很多很多的朋友。

下面，請你們想一想，如果辛黛瑞拉因為後媽不願意她參加舞會就放棄了機會，她可能成為王子的新娘嗎？

學生：不會！那樣的話，她就不會到舞會上，不會被王子遇到，認識和愛上她了。

老師：對極了！如果辛黛瑞拉不想參加舞會，就是她的後媽沒有阻止，甚至支持她去，也是沒有用的，是誰決定她要去參加王子的舞會？

學生：她自己。

老師：所以，孩子們，就是辛黛瑞拉沒有媽媽愛她，她的後媽不愛她，這也不能夠讓她不愛自己。就是因為她愛自己，她才可能去尋找自己希望得到的東西。如果你們當中有人覺得沒有人愛，或者像辛黛瑞拉一樣有一個不爱自己的後媽，你们会怎样？

學生：要愛自己！

老師：對，沒有一個人可以阻止你愛自己，如果你覺得別人不夠愛你，你要加倍地愛自己；如果別人沒有給你機會，你應該加倍地給自己機會；如果你們真的愛自己，就會為自己找到自己需要的東西，沒有人可以阻止辛黛瑞拉參加王子的舞會，沒有人可以阻止辛黛瑞拉當上王后，除了她自己。對不對？

學生：是的！

老師：最後一個問題，這個故事有什麼不合理的地方？

學生：（過了好一會）午夜12點以後所有的東西都要變回原樣，可是，辛黛瑞拉的水晶鞋沒有變回去。

老師：天哪，你們太棒了！你們看，就是偉大的作家也有出錯的? 所以，出錯不是什麼可怕的事情。我擔保，如果你們當中誰將來要當作家? 可以比那個作家更棒！你們相信嗎？

孩子們歡呼雀躍。

1.

What did the gangster’s son tell his dad when he failed his examination?
” Dad, they questioned me for 3 hours,

but I never told them anything !! “

What’s the difference between people

who pray in church and those who pray in casinos?

The ones in the casinos are serious.

3.

When I was young I used to pray for a bike,

so I stole a bike and prayed for forgiveness.

4.

A little boy went up to his father and asked :

” Dad, where did all of my intelligence come from ? “

His father replied :

” Well, son, you must have gotten it from your mother,

because I still have mine. “

5.

Jimmy’s teacher sent a note home to his mother, saying :

” Jimmy seems to be a very bright boy,

but spends too much of his time thinking about girls. “

The mother wrote back the next day :

” If you find a solution, please advise.

I have the same problem with his father ! “

I found this music and I love it so much. Come and enjoy this relaxating music to relax your mind and your soul.

I listen to FM radio everyday especially when driving. I prefer FM radio because I believe this is the fastest ways to update latest news not only local news but worldwide news as well. Unlike newspaper, I can only realize the news next day.

I will only enjoy relaxing music when I attending yoga class and facial treatment session. Since I found this relaxing music, I would like this music to embed to my site so that I can enjoy it every time when I blog as well as all my reader can feel more enjoy and relaxing when they visit to my site.

How to convert and how to embed? I am still in the learning process as I am not familiar with this. Perhaps I can make it soonest. Is there any one willing to teach me?
