My dad had limited play time for me.
But i would sneak out and play when he was at work.. He he.... I think all kids do that.
He was a strict disciplinarian being a secondary school / JC principal.
Once after a PTM, he slapped me so hard my face almost turned 360 degrees.
The teacher complained that i was disrespectful..
It was study, study and study all the way.... So from P VI to Sec IV i was first in class/level in every test and exam.. What a life... I would get so stressed if my marks dropped or if my position dropped...
I am strict with my kids too but i give them play time as well.
I play ball with them. One thing i have noticed with Spore kids is that they are unable to catch a tennis ball... Dunno why?

If my sources are accurate i think she scared and left the country already.
when we go we should just go, why leave anything behind, dat's how i feel. i don't wanna force my afterdeath obligations on anyone. also did anyone want to have kids so they can ask them to visit us when we die? might as well do all the good things when alive. after death it's a different issue already, who knows we really become spirits.
Scattering ashes at sea is good right?
Atleast then no 30 years problem
and secondly our kids will not be forced to come and visit the niches.
i say maybe she's right. we can't fault her. why are we like dat? years and years of brainwashing onto my generation by PAP cause us to lose the animal instinct , 6 sense in us. listen don't revolt. you try me i make sure u kenna jialat jialat kind of mentality laid down by them. so now the realise on interntational stage hard for us, only way to to call u new generation of FT in order for coutnry to survive.
they did so much bad to us, they screwed up our mentality. now we wake up, and they realise 40% vs 60% cannot. how to solve problem, quickly get pass this election then next electoin make sure have enuf figures from FT to boost up their ratings. now i pray the 60% half of them will wake up. so it becomes 70% vs 30%. in overall plus their FT maybe next round if lucky might be 65% vs their PAP 55%. if we are lucky.
screwing up a few generations is not enuf. must screw up all the way, so money in pocket. same like the korean show , Dong Yi for those who are catching the show. this is only one show. there's many others. if not those who don't watch show, check out Animal farm.

With respect to everyone else's view, religious or emotional, I have never understood this need to preserve ashes. Yes, respect for the body of any human being and certainly not to allow disrespect to the corpse in any way, specially mutilation. But I was a witness to my mother's annual visit to my father's grave and the deep sorrow each visit would produce for days.
I don't think any religion teaches that any part of the spirit or soul still resides in the remains - whether we bury, cremate, cover with goldleaf or allow birds to pick the corpse clean.
Nor do any of the religions teach that prayers said at the graveside/halls of niches/family altar penetrates and benefits the actual ashes or bones of the dear one who has moved on. Surely it is for the soul or spirit of the loved one.
I was amazed to hear, some years ago, all about the different prices for the niches: the higher up ones give a better view, light and airiness and the lower and cheaper ones are too close to people's feet etc etc It dawned on me then how much money can be made from this from people who are grieving (and grieving in advance!), and how much better use that money could be put right now to feeding the poor, clothing and housing the desperate, to scientific research into horrible diseases, educating children and ignorant adults [who want education but could never afford it], cleaning up the planet, preserving the rainforest and the seas, helping in so many ways living people in need. And if not, to having a good time with that money while there is still life in you. At least donate the money to groups of religious, nuns or monks, who will pray for the departed soul - it will keep the temple or church in repair and provide them with sustenance while they are doing the praying for you, you lazy sod.
My same mother, when asked about the distribution of her personal effects, said this most liberating thing: Oh do what you like dear, I'll be dead and gone!
I mean no disrespect to anyone else's views on how best to commemorate the loss of a dearly loved one.

Thank you AP but ... Aiyah! people will all tink I simply show off wan. Only sharing the little we have gathered.
Do not get the idea that I live in a formal garden of plants and trees! It's all higgeldy-piggeldy, the grass often needs cutting, one dog loves to dig holes and tear up a newly planted little bush, the hedge is unruly and some plants (like the chilil) simply refuse to grow!
Learning as we go along, and getting lots of fresh air and exercise while we are at it.
Perhaps we are easy to please and contented with a sudden burst of a red flower for the first time, and the thrill of people picking their own kacang botor. at our invitation. Simple things for our less stressed minds.
I get exhillarated everytime i see a red flower bursting out....
Goes on to show how few flowers i have...
People may say i am easily contented...
But i know myself n my achievements... Im happy..
Yes i could hv achieved a lot more but well.... Id just say i am happy.

Hi everyone here, I have been reading this forum since the time it started, i shared the feeling of each members here and the reasons behind the move to start up alternative homes in JB. Before i continue let me share a bit of myself, i just retire recently after reaching the age of 62. However in 2009 I come to realise that the cost of living is becoming more and more costly beside the crowded MRT, bus and roads. What do we have? i ask myself beside shopping centres and foodcourts, the kids and adults don't have places to go for relaxations and get away from the commercial aspect of city life. the so called quality of life can only be measured here in term of the money you earned and material possessions that so many are so proud of. So in 2009 i make up my mind to do something about it, no point just talk about it with friend and collagues, i when to purchase a house in JB, a cornered unit in Taman Pelangi Indah. I have plans to use the place for retirement and aslo to setup a workshop for my future crafts business and aslo to try my hand on planting some exotics plants with the available land i have. Well i am looking forward to share with this group my plans and progress if anyone is interested. I will sign off here and hope to continue at a later date, good days to all.
A good lesson from the magnum opus Rachelle Ann Beguia is never offend/insult your host country, its people and their sensitivities.
All of us have stakes in JB... So we gotta watch our behaviour, words and actions

True.. We need to respect the locals and don't bring our materialistic culture to this beautiful land.. Anyway I find locals more friendly than our own folks..
Missed this post. Yes, nowadays see quite a few projects in Singapore by China developers. And the thing is they are not priced cheaper than other condos! Wow everything PRC, how's their quality like for the handover?
Huh, must try yellow capsicums, very tasty! IMO the yellow capsicums taste the best, the red and orange ones okay, the green ones not nice. Used to be able to get one average size capsicum at about RM3.60 - not that long ago actually since I only started going to JB in Sep 10 - but now for the same price, will get a much smaller fruit.
Oic Broccoli is temperate veg. The organic section at Jusco that sells the veg grown in Malaysia does sell broccoli leh, certified organic some more, wonder how they managed to grow?!
Btw my house not built up yet, will be a long time before able to try. If can grow in a pot may be can try.

Congratulations to make the choice.. I am keen to learn any businesses you guys are setting to formulate my next business here as well..
The last i know is some kind soul has made a police report already. But their investigation as usual will take time. The TPL case during election just announced findings, so this case happened after that will have to wait.
How? Found your capsicums? Can share more where to get the seeds and the growing process? Can grow in a pot?
