Cash vs credit card

Do you shop with cash or your cedit card? As for me, I don't bring my credit card around when I go shopping. I use cash to pay. So I can budget my spending.

I only carry credit card to pay for certain service especially insurance premium. I also use credit card to shop online.

Credit card follows me wherever I go on holidays. It's much convenient this way and I definitely use it to pay for the liquor that I buy for my boss.

how about you?

Selfie

A selfie is a type of self-portrait photograph, typically taken with a hand-held digital camera or camera phone. Selfies are often associated with social networking, like Instagram. They are often casual, are typically taken either with a camera held at arm's length or in a mirror, and typically include either only the photographer or the photographer and as many people as can be in focus. Selfies taken that involve multiple people are known as "group selfies" or "ussies".

Selfie has become popular among the younger generation. They are not self-conscious as everyone of their generation are doing it. But what about the older generation? I suppose most older people still prefer their pictures to be taken by others as they wouldn't like to take near shots. Probably because they look better from afar as too near would definitely show off all those lines and wrinkles.

From my point of view, I don't mind a selfie shot with the others provided I don't have to hold the camera. I can easily see myself and smile the way I like it. I am all for group selfie!

Kids character

I believe that kids' characters are very important. They need to be molded into fine young people. Parents play a very important part in instilling good moral values into their kids. They are actually the role models of their kids. What and how they behave are very important as kids tend to copy what they see.

As parents, I feel that we should spend as much time as possible with them. We should teach them what's good and explain to them what's bad and shouldn't be done or followed. Gradually, they form the habit and as they grow up, we can rest assure that they will grow up being fine young people.

Kid's dream

Well, my boy loves music and he wants to pursue music. Is it good for his future? I would prefer him to pursue something stable and then treat music as his hobby. But he is persistent in his decision. 

I support him since he's very adamant about it. Initially, his father was not too happy about it. He would love his boy to pursue business so that his business could be passed over to him.

We have no choice. He has his choice and it's his music. As parents, we need to support him and hopefully it would be a good career for him in future.

When kids sit for their exam

Those days when I sat for my exam, no one put any pressure on me. I studied on my own free will. After all, I was a hardworking person. Needless to say, my parents needn't worry for me.

But now it's different. When my young kids sat for their exams, I was very pressured. I made sure they studied for their exams. 

But as they grew older and they were able to take care of their own studying, I wouldn't put any pressure on them.

I could only wish that they study well and prepare well for their exams.

All the best to my kids when they face their exams.

Mum is the best

It's nice for our mum to stay with us. My mum first started to stay with us when I brought back my second girl from Taiping when she was two years old. That means my mum helped me to take care of her. Soon I conceived with two more babies. 

Our hands were full. I had to go to school to teach and my mum had to take care of the household. When I finally decided to quit teaching to help my husband with his business, it was time for my mum to retire.

Mum had stayed with us for so many years and finally she has her freedom. She stays in her hometown and she will visit us when she has the time.

I personally feel that it's great to have our mums to stay with us. We can actually only trust our mums rather than housemaids.

We can leave the house at peace without worrying if anything could get missing as in the case of having a maid.

Best of all is our mums will help us no matter what and we definitely feel at ease with her presence!

Taking care of pets

To have pets is not an easy task. One has to be prepared to be fully responsible in handling and taking care for the pets. We need to make sure that our pets are fed regularly and even bathed too.

Not to mention about care, food is very important. We can't simply throw just about anything for our pets' consumption. We need to make sure that their diet is not too salty as it might affect their fur. Thus, fur might become thin.

What when they become ill? We need to take them to set the vet so that treatment is given. Don't take their illness lightly as it might kill them. Through my experience in taking care of dogs, they need to be loved. Just by calling their names or patting on their head could boost their confidence in us. Consequently, they will love us in return.
