SUMMER IN THAILAND


March and April here means clear and sunny skies. That’s the sort of weather you’ll find in Thailand during this time of year which holds the best holiday in Thailand’s calendar .... SONGKRAN!!! 



It’s the new year day in the Buddhist calendar when the sun change its position from Aries to Taurus. It is celebrated during mid April and is the day of appreciation of the most important element in agricultural, water. During the the day, people pour water on each others shoulder and even soak each other.

Well, it got a little extreme from being a modest celebration to being almost a pool party. Throughout the day you’ll be ambushed by people on the sidewalks armed with a bucket of water and even, my kid’s personal favorites, WATER GUNS!!!  Yes, you could carry aquatic firearms around the streets without getting arrested. 

mmm...gun with umbrella





Every once in a while,someone’s car gets ambushed and gets a free car wash. But don’t worry no one is getting sued as everyone is encouraged to be involved in this spectacular celebration. I mean, who doesn't want to get soaked on a hot summer day.


My family misses it so much! I’m planning to return to Bangkok soon. Maybe for SONGKRAN

Blues..

Bahasa Malaysia Blues..

Today my eldest son, Hafiy came home with bayload of homework.But what really made him so worked out was his Bahasa Malaysia homework. We're barely been here for three years and Hafiy is still working on his Bahasa especially Penulisan or writing.Now, in secondary school the teachers will excpect you to be able to do everything individually and in a such short amount of time, which creates a lot of preasure on him.Eventhough he is only in form 1 (year 7),he already has frustration and preasure over his homework and he is so paranoid (is not a good sign!) about his attendance at school.It is because with the new system which has a test at the end of every topic or what we call PBS.The problem is..there is no specific date or time for PBS. So you will never know when your home from school and when is PBS..

Back to his homework, so..his Bahasa teacher give him an assignment which is to write an essay on Patriotism.Hafiy is known for his fear to his Bahasa teacher which is really inconvieniant for his learning process.So the teacher told him to write certain things in the essay that she wants to see.When I see him come home,he is always carrying a long face. I knew what was wrong.It usually  be social problems or teachers or homework.I just ignored it for a while because I thought he was just tired and he didn't feel like going to swim practice and we will talk about it during lunch.But an hour later he came down with a book and a pen with a pair of baggy eyes (yes! he cried when get frustrated) trying to figure out what to write.As a mother..I tried to help him but I knew He knew what I was trying to say to him wasn't the answer he was looking for. He told me that the teacher wants to see a perfectly structured essay based on what she wanted and had to contain all the ideas from the example..(why can't the teacher let the student use their ideas with the help of the given example???).Well, you'd always get this kind of things around here.When you work your head off coming up with the ideas and you turn it in it's not what the teacher wants.You could say my son has native tounge issues.This is effecting his social endeavours too.The other kids say that Hafiy's basiclly an outsider because english is the only he's interested in.But it seems he's the only boy who is enthusiatic about english.Hafiy finally found what he was good at when he moved here.that is english.The other kids see him as some dictionary they can refer to.That what really makes him happy knowing what he's good at and helping other kids as well..

Well..if you ever have a child facing the same problem,you can always share them with me in this blog..

Question!..

Question?

Do we have to wash organic Veggies and Fruits?



Definetly YES!..Whether it's organic or not,unwashed produce can be pathway to food-borne illness,says Micheal P.Doyle Ph.D a professor of food microbiology at The University of Georgia.Organic foods/goods may come pestcides-free,but harmful microbes like E-coli,salmonella and the noroviruscan be transferred to fruits and veggies from the hands of the harvesters or other shoppers who have touched them.These can lead to food poisoning,diarrhea and though highly chronic illness such as kidney failure or even death !..Sooo Please make sure that YOU wash your fruits or veggies before consuming..This will help to lower your risk..

How to  minimise as much chemicals as possible before we consume the food?? 

Most chemicals can be reduced through the BIOZONE Purification Process, which they have a series of laboratory tests to share. Scientifically proven in many advanced countries, ozone technology is commonly used for purification of water, food and swimming pool treatment.

Corsets

Corsets

Corsets has been around for a long time even longer than your grandma's termite infested furniture.Let me give you a bit of history.Corsets are some of the first slimming aids that existed.The earliest known wide use of corsets are around the 1600's.This at the time fashion was used by middle and high class nobilities for everyday use primiraly by women.When I say primarily I know what you are thinking,YES! men wear corsets too.If you watch tv shows that shows the renaissance era, you'll see men wearing those tight spangly outfit.Actually they are also wearing corsets.


Wearing corsets give many benefits.It improves blood circulation,posture and respiration.That's why you see in the Three Musketeers that no one really slouches because corsets will controll your body posture and returns the body back to it's natural shape.Ideal for a person who slouches while eating pizza at the countertop! hehehhee


In eastern cultures also uses the concept of corsets.The best example is the Japanese Kimono.You'll noticed tight cloth wrapped around the abdomen.That is used for the same purposes as the corsets.It's even used in our own culture, BENGKUNG.Bengkung is a long piece of cloth wraped tightly up to your chest.It was used during the heyday of malay culture.Especially used during the confiment.

Today we see corsets are drasticly being reduced as some people see it as an excuse to attract others,but it really builds confidence when wearing it and that's what I want to see from my customers.

Why not we take this opportunity to try it on since there are a lot much more easier to wear it.You'll not believe how it can really change the way you feel and look.

Lisa & Gymnastic


Finally..

I finally got Lisa’s certificate after along years wait.

This certificate means a lot to Lisa. This is the certificate that she received when she participated in MSSWP to represent her school in Artistic gymnastics. She was awarded overall champion and was automatically chosen to represent the federal territory in the MSSM competition,but it did not turn out so well as it was her first MSSM. You couldn’t expect much but what was important was she tried her best to make the team proud.

To be honest, lisa has long done gymnastics. She has been doing it since we were at our first few years in Bangkok. At that time I wasn’t really on board with the idea of her doing gymnastics because to me she has a greater ability in swimming. It was enough for me she was already in the school team for swimming. When she tried out for the swimming team she got selected for the team. I thought that was it. But, something else came to her mind. She wanted to try out for the gymnastics team. I ignored it for a while. After being encouraged by her friends  she convinced me to let her to try out. It was a little funny seeing her pull a tight face. I already told her gymnastics was no easy work but she still did it even though she knew it too. But evidently she was selected for the school team. As a mother I should still give her support. But my principle still stands in her head today... when you start it don't do it half way. Because it was YOU who decided to do it.
Till today, Lisa is still doing her gymnastics and preparing for her 1st SUKMA selection and more competitions to come. Hopefully she can get to the BIGGEST sporting event in the World......

Good Luck Lisa!
