Recycling Toys

Date:  Nov 4, 2012

There are toys that you bought long time ago, and you kept it in the store room.  If you have a younger kid, then, it is time to dig it out and see if it interests the kids or not.

For example, Beyblades... Oh ya, they are still interested in it.  So, both kids the whole day say 3-2-1 let it go!  And they can still spent some quality times playing with it.  Bear in mind, when the elder one go into primary school, the school kids is going to talk about it.  And I am sure, Jay's reaction will be, ya, I have those.  Hahaha it gives him a conversation topic to talk about, and it gives them those confident that he needs in social interactions.  As for Kay Kay, he is in learning stage, and improving his playing skills too.  Already, in class he and his buddies already talking about Beyblades.

And this... Jay has this since 4 years old.  At that time, Kay Kay still very young.  Does not know what is Thomas.  Now he loves Thomas.  And interestingly, the two brothers found a new way of playing with the Thomas tent.  One grab the front, one grab the back, and they start dancing LION DANCE with this Thomas tent.  Dong dong Chiang, dong dong Ching... Hahaha that is creativity you want your child to build.  We were quite surprise when we see both doing that.  The elder one will suggest, and the younger one will do and follow.  Great stuff!

And for the first time ever, the tent is place on Jay Jay's bed, and Jay sleep inside the Thomas tent.  Wow... What fun is that to a kid? A lot of fun, and sweet memories.  

Childhood memory is very important to a child, and that help to shape his characters.  

Rainbow - Rebooted

Date:  Feb 11, 2012

5 Years ago - I threw away my Osim Mermaid and I bought a Rainbow e-Series.  5 Years later, a new sales person arranged to do maintenance on my Rainbow as well as giving me a free Dust Mite cleaning.

Rainbow is a very powerful vacuum cleaner.  They do not advertise it on paper.  It is not available in any retail show.  They uses direct sales network to do direct home to home selling.  Our previous sales guy is quite good in selling but the follow up is quite bad.  The new sales person is from Nepal.  And I think he is just fine.

The reason that I threw away my other vacuum cleaner is because of the powerful sucking power from Rainbow.  Below is from a new carpet that we have bought from Ikea just 1 months.  But have not have a chance to do lots of cleaning on it.  So, after a 30 second sucking.  This is the dirts it gathered by putting a black color cloth in the tube.  By seeing this, you are immediately sold of the technology.  Next thing is the investment.

If pay cash/cheque.  You get this free.  A mob that uses the Rainbow.  OK.  Now everytime after I cook steak, my domestic helper will be glad to use this to clean the floor.

The sales man will come at least 2-3 times to teach my domestic helper how to clean, how to use, how to maintain, etc.  I think that is a good service.

So, I end up trade in my old Rainbow for $800 and buy this new Rainbow.

There is always two camps of thought in my mind regarding a good vacuum cleaner.  This Rainbow vacuum cleaner is not an ordinary cleaner.  It is Nasa type of technology.  It really sucks a lot of things up.  Especailly those tedious dust mites that hides in your pillow and bed.  Those in facts are the one that will eventually make you sick.  So for the sake of staying healthy, I strongly recommend this vacuum cleaner.

But on a second thought.  Do you want your kids to live in a almost gemless or bacterialess environment?  Get real.  You can create a good clean environment, but you cannot do anything about whatever that is outside your home.  So, some times the dilema is if the house is too clean, when the kids go to school, hawker centre, or any other places, the kids might also fall sick, because of the environment outside your home is way to dirty.

One need to get sick once a while in order to build your natural anti-bodies to fight off the flu bug, the sinus, and so on.  But get real again!  When you see the doctor, most of the doctor will take the easy path and sell you the antibiotics, which will fight off the illness, but may make your body weaker.

So, it is up to you, based on budget constrain, and based on your decision of whether to make a good clean dustless home.  You will need to make this hard decision to see whether to buy it or not.  Good luck in your decision!

 

 

New Toys from Korean

Date: Oct 14, 2011

At Paragon, I bought this new toy Jay Jay. Its called Ed Creator - Gear set, which is mad from Korea. It is very nice quality pieces, for you to build whatever thing you can think of.

 

The circle on the blocks contain a rotatable magnet. What exactly is a rotational magnet? It means that there is a magnet in there, and the holding of the magnet is rotatable. So, when you stick (by magnet) 2 pieces together, both pieces are rotatable. It depends on what kind of pieces and blocks you stick together, it makes different sound.

 

Jay and Kay love to play with it.

With those few pieces, you are able to build a car. And you can pull or push the car on your bed, it moves just like a Mars Rover.

And when you move, some parts moved too because of the gear connected to the wheels.it is amazing, and me, Jay and Kay love it so much.

Kay Kay spend some good quality time playing with it too. Turn every parts he can turn. Move the car... Etc.

Since we love it so much, I went to Vivocity - Growing Fun, and buy the Automobile Playset.

 

As well as the Aircraft Playset too. Now, me, Jay Jay and Kay Kay each have a set, and it should last us playing for a long time.
