Zoo

We were at the Taiping zoo recently. My boy had been asking too much questions about the birds and the bees...therefore..I decided to take him there and let him seek the answers on his own. No lah...he hasn't gone in depth into human reproductions but he's merely interested in animals-how the look like in real, their characteristics...and things like that.

I attempted to make this a field trip for him...therefore a few days before, I made him watch Astro-Animal Planet @ a few documentaries. Then I showered him with some reading materials @encyclopedias about animals...to arouse his interest. (Believe me..it works). He became get excited and wanted to know more. When he knew that I'm taking him to the zoo.....he was jumping with joy. Though, I was busy with my assignments, but I still need to cater some quality time with him....SACRIFICES.

On that day, I gave him a pocket sized note book so that he could jot down the names of the animals. I even supplied him with a camera..so that he could snap some pics...as I intend to let him learn to make powerpoint slide shows when we return. (a highly ambitious mum).

These are some of the pics that he took....(not bad for an 8 year old kid)

I personally like this one the best.....prove that he had been observant to take notice of something extraordinary....what say you ?

A monkey enjoying his choc milk....intelligent monkey.

Shopping

Favourite past time.....Adults love 'shopping'...esp women and some men too. Every weekends and public holidays, most shopping complexes would be crowded with shoppers be it window shopping or real buyers. And most family outings usually ended up in shopping arcade. Children often tag along when their parents go shopping.

When adults goes around 'shopping' ...the children became the 'victim'. These pics say it all.....

Children are often neglected when the adults got too engrossed with their shopping spree....

What say you ? Have you ever done this before ? Guilty ?

Pure Gold Fish

Gold Fish

This is an amazing creation of God.

Gold Fish, which was found in the sea in Taiwan was put to display in Taiwan’s Natural Museum. Scientists have found that some of the parts of this beautiful fish are of 24 carat pure gold. The fish entirely is golden in color.

A true gold fish that's really meant to be.

New spectacles

After months of pending, I finally got myself a new pair of spectacles. Yes....I was planning to get one since December last year. Due to my tight schedule, I often put on hold this mission.

Last Saturday, I walked into that Optical shop.... a stone throw away from my home. It had been operating for a year or so. Too lazy to go back to my regular optometrist. Thought perhaps I could get some special discounts or so since the workers knew that I'm a residence in that Taman. In chinese, "Same village, so got special rates"..LOL. In addition, it would be convenient for me to get back to them if I have problems with the glasses.

The optometrist (very young) gave me a computerised eye check to determine my eye sight. I was told to look directly into an image thru a lens. Once he got my eye sight reading, we proceeded into the room, where I was told to read some alphabets of various sizes and colours.

To my surprise, my short sightedness had reduced over the years. According to him, when a person reaches 30s...naturally the power will decreases. To be frank, I had been wearing my current pair of glasses for almost 5 years....which many a times, people would often tease me "out of fashion". Need a up-to-date glasses.....aiyah...no need to be so fashion conscious to follow the latest trend~la.

But alas...I just felt a lil odd to be wearing such an ol fashioned frame which make me look so "Lau Beh". Need to get a trendy one to suit the current trend...LOL.

I picked up this really beautiful vintage frames ....rectangular black frames. And I guess, they suits my large squarish feature pretty well. The frame itself costs RM170. Though, there are many cheaper ones but I find that the quality isn't good. I chose good quality lenses which can withstand scratches and less likely to break unless being hit hard. And the thickness of the lenses is half the ordinary ones which definitely makes the specs lighter. The lenses cost me another RM300. All together RM470. I requested for a discount and finally gotten myself RM50 off.

I was hesitating to get this vintage pair (RM 420) which I like very much. Suits my face and lifestyle perfectly.

I had another option~ a cheaper package. Not so lasting frame (Rm50) and a bulky lens (RM RM130). Rm180 per pair...but the quality is definitely not good.

I was in a dilemma. RM180 and RM420. I could save RM240. A lot of difference. But after some mental calculation, this RM180 pair will only last me a year or so....based on my lifestyle, I'll definitely break it in a couple of months. The frame is pretty thin...made of thin iron.

In the end, I opted for the vintage pair...a more durable pair. RM420..can last me a couple of years....why not ?

I finally got a brand new spectacles which fitted with my prescription!

Ann's comments...

With the current economic stage, many had lost their jobs and many are looking for jobs. In order to get a new job, naturally one has to send in an application letter together with the resume. And later proceed to interviews.

Interviews...

Let's take a look at the above...As an English reader, I'm sure you'll able to decipher the content of the letter. It will take a couple of reading and time...funny leh...!

Well, that's the advantage of being a female...a pretty one and I should say...those with finest assets. When comes a time, where two candidates with equal qualifications and experiences, the one with good 'looks' tends to benefit more in terms first impressions. The interviewer will surely go for looks 1st before any other things. They no longer care about "judging a cover nor deceiving looks..".

What's your comments, dear readers?
