One thing world’s most expensive camera can’t do
1923 Leica
Pop quiz today.
“What is the world’s most expensive camera?”
Nope, the $100,000 Phantom V1610 doesn’t even come close.
The answer is the 1923 Leica with a whopping 2.16 million euros. Or $2.8M.
The German-built camera was bought by an anonymous bidder at an auction recently.
However expensive the camera, there’s one thing it still can’t do. [Read More...]

No parenting lesson today.
I hope you don’t mind I occasionally talk about something other than parenting.
Something hit me and I wanted to share with you.

Love is a Four Letter Word

“Love Is a Four Letter Word” is the title of Jason Mraz’s fourth studio album.
It was launched less than a month ago.
(BTW, I love “I Won’t Give Up” and “The Freedom Song” from this album.)
I was first attracted to Jason when I heard on the radio his song “I’m Yours.”
His songs are inspiring, light, upbeat, and easy-going.
Love ‘em!
But for now, let’s talk about the four letter word.
In fact, L-O-V-E is more than a four letter word.
Do you know love means different thing to different people? [Read More...]
I am UNSEXY and I know it

It’s true. I’m not lying.
If you bump into me, I am just a regular guy with uncombed hair clad in T-shirt and shorts.
Sometimes, the shirt is even torn. Or with missing buttons.
I am not sure about you but worn-out clothes are the most comfortable thing in the world.
And I walk in a pair of beach slippers.
My underwear? [Read More...]

I find this statistics interesting… and disturbing too.
It’s about meat consumption of the homo sapiens.
The data, gathered by the U.N. Food and Agriculture Organization (FAO) and analyzed by The Economist, indicates that we eat more meat now compared to the last 50 years. From 70m tons to 268m tons in 2007.
Let’s take a look at the kings of carnivores of the world as well as countries who consume the least meat. [Read More...]
What Parenting is Not

There’s so much confusion.
Everybody is chasing their own tail and not sure what they are doing.
Yes I am talking about parenting.
They think what they are doing is parenting but actually it’s not.
Here are a few examples of what parenting is not: [Read More...]
Homeless by choice
There are many things people try to avoid doing.
But some of these can give you one hell of a lesson, if you do.
One excellent example is an article I read recently.

I see something interesting among my kids.
It started a few years back with J. But now, K is also part of the picture.
I notice that they always come up with their own games to kill time.
To give you an idea, here are some of things they have done: [Read More...]
The day the family stood still

I hope this will not happen to your family.
I definitely don’t want this to happen again in my family as it seriously interrupts the workings of the household.
It surely disturbs even the littlest moments we enjoy each day with each other.
What happened? [Read More...]
Bitten by the reading bug

One evening just last week, K did something unusual.
You see on a normal evening, he’ll ask me (or my wife) to read to him before bed.
But that night, out of the blue, he felt bored “listening” to stories and he wanted to read the book himself, instead.
At one go, he finished reading two stories that evening: Hansel and Gretel and Little Red Riding Hood.
I thought that was it. [Read More...]
