Is our world coming to its end? where it's heading? here's some feeling I have and would love to share...

The difference between dream that was made up and the dream of reality.  

Hope this recording of conversation will help you solve some of your questions.

I don't like to tell my kids what is 'good' for them, because I know the word 'good' would only make them want to do something bad.  I don't like to label 'good' for them, since I believe that's something they will have to figure out for themselve.  So instead of saying this is good for you, I often told them what it is in my point of views and they can make a choice for themselves.

  • Karma

Max liked to playfully hit people these day, which was definitely something I don't like at all.  Even thought I continuously told him that do not treat other the way he doesn't like to be treated, I don't think he fully understand what that mean. 

so the other day, I told him that it's bad karma he creates if he continuously hit others.  It will come back to him one way or the other whether he likes it or not.

My friend's daughter told me yesterday that her father doesn't believe that I am a psychic. 

I looked at her with surprise, but quickly answered "That's fine by me.  Because I don't want to be a psychic either."

1099131_f260.jpgIt’s funnythat I often heard from friend that how their other half likes to fix ‘the relationship’ and how it was not working out for them.  I had to admit that I am one of those fixer.   Well, why not.  We were taught while growing up that we should always try to fix things that are broken.   So we learn to fix our toy, toilet bowl, computer and into relationship.  We were all so well-trained that we seriously believe that everything is ‘fixable’.

I have lots of rules around the house.  Well, I don't really think I have that many, but my children obviously don't think so. 

Like all the computer programing, my rules are simple.  They often contain 'if' and 'then" like; if you finish your homework, then you can play.  If you finish your food, then you can pick a sweet.   If you want me to listen, then speak with the tone that people will listen...

It's funny that Max had been going to fountain and making a wish that I will be nicer to him one day. 

Well, I do have to admit that it was not such a good feeling to know that your own children doesn't think you are nice!

I am grateful that I see what I see, so I wouldn't accuse my kids for lying when they told me that they saw fairies.  Although lot of parents will support their kids to be creative and have imagination.  But there will come to some point in life that parent will make a comment like 'Don't be silly." when their kids told them that they just see a fairy.  "Don't be silly." then will be translated into "You are lying." in kid's mind.  which was definitely how I felt when I was kids when I told my mom that I saw ghost.   Eventually, I learned to be quiet.  Not that I didn't see the ghost anymore, it's just that I do not want to have anyone accuse me for lying when I was not.  

So when Max pointed out the fairy he saw, and I was able to see which fairy he was pointed to.  I felt shocked at first, but I do feel grateful after all that I do not have to make any comment like "Don't be silly." to him.  Instead, I am able to teach him what I know and how to be around them.   After all, I am happy that I see what I see, so my kids don't have to feel that they were accused lying when they are not.  AWESOME!

I grow up believing this is something that everyone knew, but recently realized that it seemed to be a completely news to most western friends of mine.  Well, that will include those Asians who were born here.  

It all started with a day trip to Granville Island with Friend and her family one day.   When I was browsing around the market and noticed fresh papaya, I told my friend's daughter who stood next to me and said "You should eat more papaya now.  It will help your breast develope.  I know you probably don't want that now, but you will definitely thank me when you are older."  Sure enough, it became a joke after they went home.  Later that night, when I ran into their family again in the park, my friend's husband looked at me with grimace and said "I've never heard that eating Papaya will help your breast develop."
