Motivating Through Positive Communication

This was one of the training title that I've attended yesterday. It's true that what we are delivering everyday from our mind through mouth has a great impact to the receivers either good (motivate) or bad (demotivate).

Author Amanda Gore says "Things you think become your beliefs and then your beliefs become your behavious".

Sometimes we got to be "deaf" to negative input and this is the way to keep people from programming negative things into your mind. Do you agree?

And we shall eliminate words like "but" and "don't" in our daily communication especially to our children.

Birthday Gift Redemption

I'm yet to fully redeem my birthday gift for this year. Em....it's only valid until end of this month.

I've only redeemed one dress from Robinson store last Sunday. So must put some effort this weekend before expiry and also before Mega Sales ended.

I plan to get a pair of sunglasses from those optical shop like Miki Paris. Wondering I could find one that suit me and must be reasonable price.....

Chickenpox

I’m pretty busy since last week. My colleague was still on medical leave due to chickenpox. He got infection from his son who had just recovered few weeks ago. And he told me that he is suffering now as many poxes on his skin, even on his head….poor guy. I was being told that “if you were infected at older age, the more pox you will get”. Good luck to him.

Shall I worried whether my gals will be infected by the virus as they already being vassine since born? Some say even with vassine, it will not eliminate 100%.

What is chickenpox? An infectious disease causing a mild fever and a rash of itchy inflamed pimples, caused by the herpes zoster virus.

Little Book Worm

Audrey likes to follow what others are doing. We went to Kinokuniya. After entering the store, she moved straight to the book shelf and simply picked a book and sat on the staircase where few others sitting down reading. I told her the book is not suitable for her and brought her to the children's area.

The moment she reached, she immediately picked a story book and sat on the floor like what other children did. After flipping the book, she picked another one again. She pretended busy looking for a book that suits her. At the end she refused to leave the store until I got to promise her that we will be coming back later. Ai….wondering if she is a book lover b’coz her mum is obviously not that type.

I was born this date but....many yearsssss back

Everyone will make their own wishes before blowing birthday cake. How many of our wishes came true? Since it's a procedure before blowing cake and only happens once a year (some only got chance every 4 years...!), so just make it for fun la.....

This is one of my e Amore tulips that I received from a good friend. Not sure how she get to know that I like tulips??? My thanks to her....real one might be better still, ha ha!

Half, Quarter.....Little Bit

Hubby likes to teach Audrey new things as and when there are opportunities (during shopping, meal time, etc). So yesterday while almost finishing our lunch, he took a slice of tomato and asked Audrey a question “how many of tomato slice here”. She answered “one”.

Then hubby cut that slice of tomato into half and asked her the same question by pointing the half cut tomato. Audrey couldn't answer and we taught her that’s “half” slice of tomato. Later hubby cut that half slice of tomato into quarter. We knew she won’t be answering it correctly but for the sake of asking and to make her think, to our surprise she could dig out from her mind and answered “little bit”….. ha ha…we were laughing.

This recalls our memory that when she was 2 yrs old, we wanted her to show us where her toes…are. She pointed at her stomach. We thought she just mix up the body name so we tried to correct her by telling her that’s not toes but stomach (in English). She seems not agree with us and keeping on saying it’s “toes”. At the end we figure out that she has translated toes in English to the same vocal for the meaning of stomach in Cantonese. Huh….

Tulips Garden - my dream

Have you ever receive tulips as a gift? Yes, I did but only once. I'm glad to have had the chance to hold it personally. Thanks to my hubby. He knew that I like flowers especially tulips and due to the fact that we do not afford to be in the place where tulips grow in acres, he had make special order of this expensive tulips from a florist as one of my birthday present. However, I still dream to visit tulips garden in Holland one day.......
