A memory of the Lego story

Stumble upon this interesting article, hubby would like to share with you - grateful and hands on.


How to give your kids everything but a sense of entitlement



What you as a parent would like to give to your kids, or rather, how many?


When hubby read the part on Lego, his memory flashed back as a kid because he wanted the Lego pirate ship badly from the defunct Emporium. It was one of new model been launched for months and costing $100 is quite heavy for the parents to buy for him.

Therefore, all he can do is to visit the Emporium and admired the pirate ship from the shelves.

Even when hubby was not able to have that, he will not buy toys to both Cs uncontrollably. He wanted them to understand and appreciate of what they have, rather than nagging non stop till they get it.

Toys brings kids a lot of joy - wild imagination, role playing and think of script to talk.

Till date, even the two Cs love to mess around with the blocks - Lego, hubby feel very excited to build things with them, especially to Cait, because she wanted to learn to do it together. It will be great that they have more blocks to build a majestic building. Unfortunately, they always have a destroyer beside them. All hubby can tell Cait is - Girl, even when it is tored down, we can always rebuild it again. It does not matter, it will be fun.

Apparently, Cait still dislike things been destroyed.

One of the aim that hubby hope to accomplish with the girls -

Lego Creator!

Nice right? Hubby hope to do a mini town with them when they are much older.

This entry is almost forgotten, hence posting it right now. Jiak Tok is one of the common practice for most Chinese, especially to deity or during hungry ghost month. What is the main purpose for it? Basically, raise fund. Currently, the temple The Ongies often go, is still new and undergoing some renovations, that's where the devotees will come and chip in. Back then, Cait was just few months old when she first attend to such occasion. Now, Clar turn. During the period of bidding and consuming of food, both princesses are quite cooperative and did not fuss a lot until later on. Partly due to heat and noise. But it is a good experience for them. Bidding in progress Food and drink on the table She love clapping Happy wifey and Cait Food

It's the period of praying to Tai Sui now during Chinese New Year. Almost all Chinese will head up to temple to get blessing from Tai Sui . For those zodiac sign that crash with the year of Tai Sui must pray for smooth year. Every year, there will be 4 zodiac signs that crash with Year of Tai Sui . Chong is worse than Fan.  It is better to pray to Tai Sui every year; at least you get bless. When praying to Tai Sui , you must not forget to return thanks back before end of year; which is before Christmas Day,  after Dong Zhi . Cait and Clar will get bless as well, same goes to rest of the family. The usual place they often went is at Paya Lebar, Gu Cai Ba Temple (Sheng Hong Gong). You can go and pray after registering yourself; pray to the main altar, then to the 60 Tai Sui before queuing up for the toaist priest to chant. It will be a long queue if you go early or noon. The best time will be early evening around 5pm. There's almost no queuing up at all. Things wi...
