Parenting

When you’re expecting next time, be careful how you name your baby.

There are rules that you can’t break.

Yes, even though it’s your baby but you can’t just name her/him as you wish.

And this includes promoting your baby to a higher ranking such as King or Queen.

According to the Department of Internal Affairs of New Zealand, it has released a list of baby names that put forward by parents but were rejected.

Reasons?

Too bizarre.

Too offensive.

Here are some examples of such names: [Read more…]

Everybody has a fever. No it’s not the virus that I am talking about.

It’s the election that I am talking about. Malaysians would go for the 13th election come May 5th.

Not that politicians are without jokes on normal days, but during election season, they are more rampant and daring to say and do things just to fish for votes.

They prompted me to write this post.

For the record, I refrain myself from touching on politics. If you notice, I have never written anything about it in the past.

It’s different this time. Because I have found some useful lessons parents can learn from our politicians… even though they are lousy! [Read more…]

Last Sunday, we had an Easter Egg Hunt for kids during our monthly run.

Somehow the organizer was short of eggs, I guess.

Even though a “rule” was already in place – that each child could only get one egg – the shortage still occurred.

It was obvious that a significant number of children did not manage to find even an egg.

Poor thing. [Read more…]

2. It’s something I am interested in
3. And most of all, it’s free

I am talking about a parenting talk that came to my neighborhood last weekend.

I wanted to go but there’s a problem.

I don’t want to bring J and K along. Reasons being: they obviously are not interested and they would get bored and make noise.

My wife and I started our “negotiation” with the kids a day before. We didn’t want to take them to the talk. In fact, we could send them to their aunt’s house but she was not free. [Read more…]

C’mon guys, what comes to mind when you think of Bond girls?

Sexy, tall, blonde, seductive, smart, splendid figure, beautiful?

Off all, one Bond girl caught my attention lately.

At least not from any recent James Bond’s movies.

In fact, I don’t really know her until I read an article about her.

Once again, not her half-naked picture that caught my attention but what she said and how she lives her life.

Not only about Bond girls, but almost all celebrities live extravaganza lifestyle.

But not for Olga Kurylenko. [Read more…]
