Wants and the needs

Was it the wants or in need?


Cait requested for an ergonomic table because she found that the table is very pretty and told The Ongies that she will study very well if she have that kind of table.

Hubby find it amused because he had never used an ergonomic slant table before, and that does not means that the kids will not study well without using that table.

Despite the table reviews are good, hubby felt that the most important is the seating and lighting conditions. He is willing to forgo the ergonomic table because they had never used such table before in their life. The only similar table he seen is the architect and cartoon artists table.

Is it really important? Hubby really wanted to learn some views from friends and readers.


Was it comparing?

It is not surprising to have kids comparing with their friends. So parents have to balance out the weight of needs and wants.

He prefer the kids to read more book at the well lit area.

By comparing and being showy does not mean he or she a powerful one. Hubby often told them that he dislike comparison, because it is a never ending story.


Who needed the most?

Even though Cait may need a table for studying, hubby will prefer her to get the typical type. Unless the school is providing the same table then, it is reasonable to get the ergonomic table for her. If not, he will prefer to get a good comfortable chair and a light for her first.

If other students can use the typical table for studying, why not your own kids? End of the day, who is the one who wanted it, the kids or the parents?

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...
