One thing that you should never tell your kids

There is one thing that you should never tell your kids......I don't love you.

My son is now 4 and he's a very sensitive boy. Compared to him, my daughter is a tough girl although she is only 2-1/2, she has a strong character. She will never want to surround even though she knows that it's her fault. My son seems to be very uncooperative and I know that he wants to always seek attention. He will come to me and sit on my laps just to snuggle. He loves to be pampered, he loves to be carried, he loves to be hugged, he loves to be kissed....For his age, I think that he wants to a big boy but he still looks for sense of security and acknowledgment. He likes compliments and he likes to be a big helper.

One night, he's not really cooperative when I told him to go to bed. Before bedtime, he's not focus on learning his numbers. I kind of lost my temper, even though I know that it was wrong to speak loud to him, I did so. He started to cry and he told me that he's scared, kept saying that he did not know the answer. With the current education system, we have to start preparing him to elementary school interviews as we don't know if he can be able to be assigned to a good public school. Private school is a back up choice. To be successful in interviewing, he needs to be able to recognize alphabets, numbers, able to write his name, able to answer questions, etc. With his refusal to learn, I suddenly wanted to tease him. I told him that I did not love him. He asked me if I did not love him, I reconfirmed 2 times. Then, he started to cry loud in his bed. My husband had to come in to comfort him. Later, my husband told me that I should never tell a kid that I don't love him.

I know. Do I not know better? I should not say that I do not love my son. He's such a loving boy and he loves me no matter what and I know that he needs to confirm that he has my love. It's mean and cold to say something like that to a 4-year-old. I guarantee, I would not say that again to him any more, not even a joke. And actually, how can I not love my kid?

Alvin and The Chipmunks: The Squeakquel soundtrack

My children are (were) on Ice Age 3 and they can ask for watching it again, again and again in a day everyday. There is a movie trailer advertisement of Alvin and The Chipmunks: The Squeakquel in the DVD. Every time my children watch it, they get excited and they know it "The Chipmunks".

I let them listen the original movie soundtrack, they were so excited. My son asked for holding the CD cover and they moved their bodies, waved arms and tapped their feet when they listened to the soundtracks. There are total 15 songs in this CD. So far, they like "You Really Got Me", "Not N Cold", "You Spin Me Round (Like a Record)", "It's OK" and "We Are Family" better although the others are also nice.

I'm lucky that I got a free promotion copy as a member of Warner Bros WOM team. When I know that there's a project to receive a soundtrack to listen with my kids, I was so excited to apply and hoped that I would be picked so that I would be given a free copy of the CD to listen with my kids.

You can listen to the soundtracks and purchase a copy of the songs in the soundtrack from the webs Amazon.com and iTune Preview

Would you tell the truth?

If you are Sonny, would you tell that Michael is the real killer of Claudia? Carly is trying to help, should she tell the truth? Sonny wants the approval from his son but what would Dante do if he knows that Michael is the killer?

All these make General Hospital be so attractive this week. If I were Sonny, I would tell the truth as I should not be accused of being a killer and I should not be punished for the crime that I have not committed. Although Sonny cannot be considered a good guy, he is a good father, a good husband. He will protect his family no matter what and that's why so many people like him and wold try to protect him as well.

But, at the same time, it is a hard issue for Dante to know who is the real killer of Claudia. If you were Dante, what you would do? I do not have a clue yet.

I cannot wait to know what Sonny, Carly and Dante would do in the next episode. It is so excited to see how the story turns out to be and how the characters interact. I love story about family and relationship. Since human being is such a complicated creature, you will never know what he or she will do in next step. And, relationship sometimes is not just give and take. Someone give so much but never get back any. Some people only know to take but never want to offer back. I hope that every family is harmonious and parents and children can happily get along.

今日落薄同ｈｏｎｅｙ拍拖去訂蛋糕

今日落薄, 仔仔由窗望出去同問婆婆,點解邊個倒晒d米米喺地地度,婆婆去窗邊睇吓,哦！原來落薄!因為係白色一粒粒,仔仔以為係米米呀!

果陣爸爸同媽咪啱啱喺 safeway買完嘢,準備去攞車然後去訂蛋糕,爸爸叫媽咪喺度等,佢去揸架車過嚟,媽咪睇睇吓越落越大,仲好涷tim,最後訂咗個Kung Fu Panda蛋糕俾仔仔，原來有個Ice Age蛋糕都幾好，有個大大個dinoasaur頭，又有Manly, Sid 同Diego，但個顏色好似太灰啦，生日蛋糕都係五顏六色開心ｄ靘ｄ

仔仔話咁快就四歲，呢一年佢有好多改變，說話多了組織 ，多了不少鬼主意，有時望他眼睛我會見到他眼仔碌碌，然後把頭挨向你再望著你笑，然後送上幾句”媽咪”，直叫你心都軟了～自從開始上學以來，他都不斷成長，幸好在學校他都頗受歡迎，他有很多女朋友仔，個個都是長髮靘女，我們開始擔心將來他太多感情瓜葛，honey話仔仔而家個樣好似佢細個果陣，我話”你鬼有咁靘仔！”
