Who's the most beautiful teacher?

Out of curiosity, the dad asked the kids whose the most beautiful teacher in their childcare centre:

4 y.o. :"Miss R.... ! "

Dad :"Why? "

4 y.o. :"Because she loves us and I like her the most!"

Then Dad asked the older kid who is now the alumnus to the childcare centre:

9 y.o. :"Miss A.....! "

Dad :"Why? "

9 y.o. :"Because I like her, that's why! "

It is interesting to observe how kids look at Beauty.
Apparently, Beauty to these kids is not based on physical appearance alone.
It is the Relationship that the educators have built with the kids that made them the most beautiful, not just in the kids' eyes, but in their hearts as well.
I salute to these Beautiful Teachers, Well done!

p.s., it might be more appropriate to publish this post in 2010's Teachers' days, but why should I hold back to praise these excellent educators ;D

Making a difference

Wouldn't it be great if educators would spend the time to understand the children's background and make a difference in their lives .....

Tiredness => Can't Dance well?!

We were travelling back home in th car in the late night, and my wife was so tired after the shopping.
Then she talked to the kids and it went on like this:


Mummy: "It's already past my bedtime and I really need your help to pack your bags so that I could sleep as soon as possible. Otherwise, I will not be able to PERFORM well in my work tomorrow."

Kid: "Mummy, I thought you work as an accountant, so why do you need to DANCE well in your work tomorrow?"

The "LIVE EXPERIENCE" in Hollywood Dinos (Jurong Bird Park)

We bought some tickets from the promoters for the Hollywood Dinos and we took the opportunity to visit the attraction on their first day, 12 Dec 2009.


How to get there (click here to find out)?
Well, the entrance for this attraction is just beside the entrance of Jurong Bird Park. So, if you know how to get to the bird park, I believe you can find Hollywood Dinos (click here for more information).


Some pointers:

  • There is no toilet within the attraction, so either you clear your (especially kids) bowel/bladder before you enter or you may need to endure during your adventure for the next 45 to 60 min.
  • Don't expect this to be as exciting or the same as those in Disney World or Universal Studios. What do you expect from a "lowly" priced attraction like this as compared to the theme parks?
  • You should not stay put too long in any point of the "adventure" as there are groups coming in after you, so please be ambulatory and make way for subsequent groups of tourists.
  • Prepare extra money in case you wish to buy some dino-related merchandise after the tour to encourage your kids for doing well in their exams.
 Well, here are some records of our "LIVE Experience" in the Hollywood Dinos!

What do you call the Yellow and Black stripes on the road?


A kid walked past the yellow and black stripes on the road and asked his dad:

Kid: "Dad, what do you call these yellow and black stripes on the road?"

Dad: "Wow! Good question there, I know that they are meant to warn drivers of the hump/hazard but never thought of its name. So, what do you think it's called?"

Kid: "Hmmmm ....The black and white striped path is known as the Zebra crossing, so the yellow and black striped path is known as the grrrrrraaaaooooo .... TIGER Crossing!"

Well, is it really called the Tiger Crossing?
I can't really find the answer in the LTA and One.Motoring websites ... but Tiger Crossing really exists in the U.K., take a look at this site: http://www.camcycle.org.uk/newsletters/71/article12.html

The DINOS want you....for a jolly warm meal ;-p~~~


Hi Parents,
Are you  still cracking your brains to plan for the Dec'09 holidays?

And GUESS WHAT, you do not need to travel all the way to Universal Studios and Disney theme parks like I did to experience the Jurassic adventures, try this in SINGAPORE:
The Hollywood Dinos!!!


Here is where you can find out more about the attraction:
http://www.hollywooddinos.com/

Well, I had my family vacation over the last two weeks in the "land of dreams" and I will post more about it when I have the time; there is simply so much to do with so little time and I am still planning to go for more fun with my family ;D

p.s. Please plan & enjoy a great family time while you are younger as you might regret it when you are too old/sick to do so or your kids might be "mature" enough to roam around on their own instead of sticking on to old folks by then ....
