Time to play.
The object of the game, Air Force Test, is to move the red block around without getting hit by the blue blocks or touching the black walls.
If you can go longer than 18 seconds you are phenomenal. It's been said that the US Air Force uses this for fighter pilots. They are expected to go for at least 2 minutes.

The way we were
This is exactly the way your father and mother were brought up. The only part missed were that children were thrown usually left in improvised wooden boxes to play in while the women of the family living in the ancestral home cook dishes for everyone in the family.
We all eat together as one big family.
How do you like the way we were brought up?

Laugh to learn for a change.
The family have been watching "The Nanny" on TV every evening. It is a funny show with some jokes meant for adult. So, this is a good time for sex education as a family. Laughter brings their father out of any bad moods he may have brought back from the office. Now we all try to be funnier than "The Nanny" with one another.
Take some jokes and see the difference.

I wish you F.A.M.O.U.S, Calvin.
Calvin said he wants to be famous. What kind of advise could I give as his mother?
I can imagine how my mother would response if I said that, "If you do not have such a big head, don't wear such a big hat!". This is definitely not the kind of answer I would give my son. Nor will I sing him, "Que Sera, Sera (Whatever Will Be, Will Be)". Calvin has my encouragement and I go all the way along that line, positively, in this presentation.
Go, Calvin, go. Make me a mother of someone famous.

Calvin can sing.
No quacks with my kids when they sing.
As a mother, I tend to think of the best of my children. When Callie draws, I think she draws well, so, when Calvin sings, of course he sings well. I decided to let Calvin and Callie join the Choir group when the Sungai Long Buddhist Society decided to start one. Both of them had experienced performing in public and the group had made a recording at a studio of songs taught by their choir teacher, Stanley Cheong.
As Calvin is already a member of a choir group with the society, he did not join his school's choir. However, the teacher selected him to sing with the school choir to celebrate Merdeka (Malaysia's Independence) Day as she thinks he has a good voice.
She did not regret the decision. The group won 1st prize prize.

Don't fight! Work together.
Listen to Uncle Ross Zietz, kids. There is "Strength In Numbers" and you can understand that clearly by looking at this t-shirt design he has created.
So, why fight when you can join forces to win whatever it is that you aim for? Start by looking for birds of a feather and...
...you will find support for one another.

Garbage in garbage out, children.
"Garbage in garbage out", I often hear this from my teachers in school. I wonder if teachers today still use this phrase.
Anyway, be mindful of what you put into your mind and body, children. You read and learn the wrong things and you will churn them out in your speech and actions. When you take food you should avoid, you can feel the effects and I will be able to see your sufferings.

As Day Is Swallowed Up By Night
As Day Is Swallowed Up By Night
Hear a mother shout a loud
"It's past 9! Go to sleep!"
The shrill of laughter stopped
Hear the children scrambled to bed
Fearful of the cane to follow
Mummy's patience not one to test
Sometimes when I look at the way my children behave, I do wonder if I am the same when I was a kid. A check with my mother sometimes give me the answer but it is a feat if she is able to as she has six children's events to recall. So, I can't blame her if she has forgotten how it was with me.
So, I will try to put in writing how my children behave when they were children. The first 3 lines of the above poetry is a daily routine during school days. Last four lines are just my wishful thinking. It is very difficult to get the children to sleep early. They will soon be down looking for supper even though I have declared my kitchen is closed.
And talk about the phrase (that inspired this writing), "As Day Is Swallowed Up By Night"; that is expressive writing, children. You can pick up some writing skills from Stacy Tartar Esch, Adjunct English Instructor of West Chester University.

Go out and play, Calvin!
What happens when you curtail your children's play time on video games during the weekdays?
My son went wild over the weekend playing them. He is a mighty early riser every Sunday morning to start playing his video games as Mom will not be up yet reminding (OK, nagging) him of his limit with, "Play for one hour only!".
He has been complaining of headaches and body aches for the past few weeks. The doctor could not find anything wrong with him and the optician confirmed that his eyesight is alright accept that his eyes are sensitive to light. So, there lies his problem; he has overdosed himself with his video games addiction.
The optician said he needs to view more open space instead of constantly gazing at the computer. A search on this issue confirmed the prescription.
Calvin, note this extract from Better Health:
"Research shows that adults who work at computers for long periods of time are prone to a range of muscle and joint problems that can cause back pain, neck pain and headache".
So, go out and play, Calvin. Video games are off limit to you, even during weekends, till you know how to minimize your health risks by:
1) limiting your time on computer games.
2) not overusing the same controls, eg, keyboard, mouse, joystick or steering wheel.
3) not using unnecessary force on your controls.
4) taking frequent breaks to shake, flex and relax their hands.
Send link to this article to your friends if they invite you to play video games in their homes. And just in case there may be other underlying health issues, you are going for a blood test this Wednesday.

How To Iron Your Shirts
My husband learned to become self-reliant at a very young age. He lost his father at the age of 10 and had to help out at home. This experience makes him a natural taking care of the children when I am not around and he has no qualms helping out at home.
This is the kind of man, I would like my son to grow up to be. Teaching him how to iron his own shirt is a good start.
If I keep at teaching him how to be self-reliant at home, he is going to grow up to be a ladies' man, I am sure. Don't you agree?

Photographs by Tom Arma
I have 3 books for children with photographs by Tom Arma that I like very much. They are:
1) Dress-Up Time
2) Funny Farm
3) Zoo Crew
These are the only books that my children have outgrown that I have held on to. So, who is Tom Arma? The New York Times reported that he is the most published baby photographer in the world. Check out the photos on these slides and see for yourself.
I still enjoy looking at them.

Cool Transport
Calvin loves seeing pictures of cars and could remember and name models of cars he saw on the road when he was as young as 4 years old. He impressed taxi drivers whenever we had to travel in one. He has a good collection of model cars and books on automobiles.
Here are pictures that he took of some of his favourite.
I am sure that he would enjoy checking this out.
