When Daddy and Mummy are openly affectionate with each other in your presence, how can we assure you that we love you as much? While Daddy enjoys buying things you ask for, I like to put my love for you in writing.

Song of the moment sang by Miley Cyrus, the kids' favourite singer.
Here's the lyrics
I hopped off the plane at LAX with a dream and my cardigan welcome to the land of fame excess, (woah) am I gonna fit in?
Jumped in the cab, Here I am for the first time Look to the right and I see the Hollywood sign This is all so crazy Everybody seems so famous
My tummys turnin and I'm feelin kinda home sick Too much pressure and I'm nervous, That's when the taxi man turned on the radio and a Jay Z song was on and the Jay Z song was on and the Jay Z song was on
CHORUS: So I put my hands up They’re playing my song, And the butterflys fly away Noddin’ my head like yeah Moving my hips like yeah, And I got my hands up, They’re playin my song I know I'm gonna be ok Yeah, It's a party in the USA Yeah, It's a party in the USA
Get to the club in my taxi cab Everybody's lookin at me now Like “whos that chick, thats rockin’ kicks? She gotta be from out of town”
So hard with my girls not around me Its definitely not a Nashville party Cause’ all I see are stilletos I guess I never got the memo
My tummys turnin and I'm feelin kinda home sick Too much pressure and I'm nervous That's when the D.J. dropped my favorite tune and a Britney song was on and the Britney song was on and the Britney song was on
CHORUS: So I put my hands up They’re playing my song, And the butterflys fly away Noddin’ my head like yeah Moving my hips like yeah, And I got my hands up, They’re playin my song I know I'm gonna be ok Yeah, It's a party in the USA Yeah, It's a party in the USA
Feel like hoppin' on a flight (on a flight) Back to my hometown tonight (town tonight) Something stops me everytime (everytime) The DJ plays my song and I feel alright!
CHORUS: So I put my hands up They’re playing my song, And the butterflys fly away Noddin’ my head like yeah (Oh, nodding my head) Moving my hips like yeah, (Ooh Yeah) And I got my hands up, They’re playin my song I know I'm gonna be ok (gonna be okay) Yeah (huh huh), It's a party in the USA (Yeah) Yeah, It's a party in the USA
So I put my hands up They’re playing my song, And the butterflys fly away (flying away) Noddin’ my head like yeah (nodding my head like yeah) Moving my hips like yeah, (moving my hips like yeah) And I got my hands up, They’re playin my song I know I'm gonna be ok (I'm gonna be okay) Yeah (Yeah), It's a party in the USA Yeah (hahaha), It's a party in the USA (Party in the USA!)
Callie, I finally found a photo of the Japanese doll I told you about in Daddy's wallet.
That's a photo of myself taken beside the Japanese doll I received as a gift. But since the photo has been removed and placed in one wallet after another by Daddy it's too worn out to see the doll clearly. Sorry, Callie.
No wonder Daddy can remember the pink t-shirt I wore when I first met him at 23!
he first b B777 ER for Philippine Airlines ready for delivery ; November 2009 at the Boeing plant in Everett near Seattle, USA.
ER stands for extended range, meaning very long distance.
Cheers, Uncle Chris:)

A380
The Emirates A380 departing from Sydney Airport in July of 2009.
They fly, but can swim as well.
A special picture of the A380 from Emirates. The picture was shot inflight from another Emirates flight on a somewhat lower altitude while flying over Turkey last month. Look at the nice wording on the belly of the A380.
I remember asking my mother if she could remember the things we said when we were kids. With six in her brood, there is not much that she could remember.
But you will not forget what you have said when you were kids because I have included some of your favourite phrases into this slideshow.
Share what you have learned in class with classmates who can't catch up with the teachers. In the process you will learn more than you have been taught. And, before you call anyone "stupid", find out if there is a learning disability and discover other ways to teach.
Survival of the fittest is a rule of nature and part of the food chain process. If it's a need, don't waste it. Think of the animals killed to feed you. Don't throw away your food.
Since Calvin loves to eat sandwiches from Subway, I decided to create my own version with these Arab Buns bought from MyDin and some leftover ingredients.
Here are the ingredients you need to serve 2 person.
1) A leftover can of tuna in mayonnaise 2) 2 slices of cheese 3) 2 pieces of Arab Buns 4) Butter 5) Tomato sauce 6) Thousand Island Dressing
Dice leftover vegetables:
1) Half a piece of green peppers 2) Half a slide of red tomato 3) Half a piece of onion 4) Half a piece of cucumber. Remove core.
Marinate vegetables with:
4) Butter to taste 5) Tomato sauce to taste 6) Thousand Island Dressing to taste
Method
1) Place 2 buns on a pan over small fire to toast the bottoms. You do not have to grease the pan.
2) Turn over to toast the surface of buns.
3) Place a slice of cheese on top of each bun.
4) Place the marinated vegetable on top of the cheese. Check surface of buns touching pan to ensure that they are not over toasted.
5) Turn off the fire but leave buns on pans. Add the tuna on top of vegetable fillings.

Here is a Air France Boeing 777-300 landing with one engine inoperative. They had to shut it down in flight for technical reason, but no problems of course.

Chinese-born pianist, Yuja Wang, must be super smart in order to play like this.
What must one do in order to be to play like that? Learn from Yuja Wang. She began studying piano at age six, and went on to study at the Central Conservatory of Music in Beijing.
What is so grand about being an accomplished pianist? She has a recording contract and travels most of the time playing concerts around the world.
I still remember that you are in Standard 6 now but wait a few more years and I won't be able to recall the address to this wonderful website Physics4SPM set up by a private tutor, Ahmad Rifeai.
Mummy has been called a "fun tong" (Cantonese for rice bin which means "good for nothing") for not being able to cook my own favourite dish when I was younger. So, learn to cook what you like to eat, Calvin.
I frequently hear tales of war from my mother and grandmother. They talked about not having enough rice to eat that they have to cook porridge with sweet potato added to fill the hunger.
I remember these stories and always remind my children never to throw their food with whatever reasons I can think of, like it is bad for their karma. Here is another "why not" reason to look at.
This is a lullaby I created for Calvin. I was reminded of it when my husband talked about it to him but couldn't recall the verses. Here they are lest they be completely forgotten.
Sleepy eye, Calvin Ho Looking tired but don't want to sleep Looking here, looking there Looking tired but don't want to sleep
Mummy pet, Mummy pet, Mummy pet little Calvin to sleep Mummy wish Calvin has sweet dreams Close your eyes go to sleep, Calvin Ho
Calvin always laughed with joy when I end it with, "Pet, pet, pet", as I pet him at his bottom. Mummy was not too keen to let him fall asleep any sooner then.
