So fast SQKiki joint Chinese Confucian Classics class already one year. This Thursday is the closing day for second term (half year per term) already. Teacher requests us to prepare a gift for our master in class. We all have to be a hiding angel to another mother/father (we called master) in class and taking care of she/he secretly. This Thursday would be the day reveal who is their angel. haha

I do not know what kind of gift to prepare for master, so just done this flowers and hope she would likes it. I made the picture small so that you could not see clearly of this very rough hand making craft.  :p

Done a bead bracelet for Kiki last two weeks. I just followed the style according to the step found online but with different beads. Original designs using different shape and size of bead but I only have these seed beads, so I just use these. Cheap and good to try on using cheap beads.

Still not good in control the length because of the size of beads are not all the same. hai… Cheap stuffs are like that kelor… For kids to play still ok lah… sure no adults like my handcraft kelor..:p

Yesterday after work, I joint Xilly to attend a parenting class that nearby my office. Not sure is it useful or not the information given by the lecturer, but I would like to share something I feel quite meaningful and nice example here.

Example 1 :
There are two animal trainers in two different Circus. They are training different group of lions and tigers.

Trainer 1 – lions and tigers follow his command and always complete his instruction. He wants them to roll then they roll, want them sit then they will sit good good.
Trainer 2 – Lions and tigers refuse to follow his command and totally not co-operate.. When he wants the lions roll the lion just don’t bother him, mo matter he is scream, scold or hit it.
What problem do you think from above? Who is the one having problem? The animal trainer or the animal?

Example 2 :
Let us do a test to control your mind now. Follow below instructions :-

• Please don’t think of LEMON.
• Don’t think the LEMON is sour.
• Don’t think the LEMON is yellow color one.
• Don’t think the LEMON is big.
• Don’t think the LEMON ah!
• Don’t think.

Now, tell me what are you thinking or what is in your mind?

********************

I am not sure could you get the meaning inside the example or not as I hard to express what have I listened yesterday. I just agar agar lah…

For Example 1 : – who is the one should change
Animal trainer – parent
lions and tigers – children

For example 2 : - direct instruction give to the children
When you scream NO and DON’T to the children. You know what the signal they get actually.
Don’t run – STOP
Don’t make noise – QUIET
Don’t go out – COME BACK

******************

I think most of the parents do understand the meaning of above example. But, do you able to do it right? Frankly, I CANNOT! I am forgetful and no patient at all. I understand but I can’t remember it all the time. When the “wind” brow up to my head I will easily get angry and forgot about all those shouldn’t do matters. *Sign*

When I check below sentences in Microsoft word, it always showing the DON’T is consider revising. I am not very sure what is that mean. Is that mean I should use DO instead of DON’T? Any wrong with below sentence? Can’t use like that?

Please Correct me :

Don’t I tell you that I am a woman who love to cook?

Correction by Jason :

Didn’t I tell you that I am a woman who loves to cook?

How to use ‘one way or another’ ?

Please correct me

Why should I spend money on something useless? One way or another, SQ will destroy it finally.

Correction by Zara’s mama
One way or another, SQ will destroy the item eventually, so why do I want to spend money unnecessarily.

Please Correct me

Instead of spend money to buy a handphone toy for SQ, I better give the spoiled old handphone to SQ. Since, she is going to destroy them at the end also.

This sentence always is a question for me since very long time ago, because I comment that in a blog, but I think the blog owner misunderstand my meaning. What I want to say is I only got my mother easy to fat genes.

Please correct me.

My mother didn’t pass me good character genes, but her fat body shape.

…………………………………..

Correction by AhBoon 

My mother didn’t pass me any good genes, except her Good body shape.

Correction by Miche

I did not receive any good genes from my mother except her fat body shape.

Today word – AMONG

Please correct me!

I was the fattest child among my sister and brother. Why my mother born me with natural fat?

Correction by Jane:

I was the fattest child amongst my siblings. Why did my mother gave me natural fat genes..??

Correction by Tracy:

I was the heaviest amongst my siblings. Why did I inherit all the fat genes?

Correction by Yvonne:

I was the fattest child amongst my siblings. Why did my mother give me natural fat genes?

I always mixed up the Chinese and English style sentences, I wonder can I use below sentence? Is below 1 sentences having the same meaning?

From 1 day 1 sentence #1

Instead of risking a post being rejected, I think I have to improve my grammar and writing skill.

I think I have to improve my grammar and writing skill, instead of risking a post being rejected.

Alternative sentence :

I picked up the word – Instead of – few days ago, but not sure using in below sentences is correct or not.

Instead of waiting for post to be rejected, I think I have to improve my grammar and writing skill.

Correction :
