Children really have great potential in anything only if parents let them expose more. Watch how this soon-to-be 4 years old boy serving over the badminton net.

STABILO 's move easyergo mechnical pencil

This new innovative design is so great. Ordinary mechanical pencil’s lead is so thin that it can break easily if you write a bit harder, which children really have a hard time using it. This new Stabilo design with lead being 2mm thick and is similar to a pencil lead. It comes with a special sharpener and lead refill. The price is similar to ordinary mechanical pencil and is environmental friendly without wasting trees, a great product.

Christmas activities at The Curve in KL

There are all sorts of Christmas decorations in KL malls. The Curve in Mutiara Damansara has organized quite a lot of activities and contests for children during school holidays. In picture was the clay workshop which is one of children’s favorites, so as skating rink. The best part is that parents can drop off their children to attend one of those activities while free to shop.

Language Adventure Camp during school holidays

My child has just completed a week language camp during school holidays. Two facilitators were from California, a university professor in the English department and an experienced teacher. Participants of age 5 to 12 during the five-day camp were told to learn fun creative activities, science experiments, and singing sessions while at the same time picked up new sentences and enhanced their vocabulary.
I suppose foreigners from western countries are still not familiar with educational level in Malaysia and believe that Malaysian children can’t speak much English. They came up with a daily activity plan which was too easy for my 5 yrs old child. On the 3rd day, my child said it’s too boring, refusing to go there.
Last Friday’s newspaper published an article about this camp. One of the facilitators said “I am surprised and impressed with the children's command of English and also their academic abilities.”
Hopefully, foreign professionals will come up with better holiday camp programs for children in Penang.

My daughter had Hand-Foot-Mouth Disease that started with high fever during the night..

Her fever did not go down after taking Paracetamol and she started having stomach pain. Early next morning, she started to have pain in her throat and fever shot up very high. I sent her to see pediatrician and doctor suspected Coxsackie which needed to admit in hospital. Blood test came out to confirm HFMD and immediately started antibiotic. Fever came down after injected antibiotic on her. Her case was mild, only few red rashes in her throat, none on hands or body. Her appetite was good and didn’t have any pain on swallowing food. She stayed in hospital for 4 nights to avoid spreading to other children. On the last day before discharge, doctor did a heart scan on her to make sure that her heart was not affected by the disease.
