Mona wrote a mini-composition yesterday morning (with the help of elder sister, Nina). It goes like this: "I went to the market on Saturday with my family. It was perfect. We bought two turtles."

There were a few considerable mistakes.

1. We went to the market on Sunday, not Saturday (yeah the whole family. Yeah we do a lot of stuff together. Thank you, God.)
2. It was almost perfect. I should have bought those flowers I saw. Argh.
3. "We" didnt buy two turtles. KAK HANNAH bought two turtles, thank you very much.

And so, presenting, Jack and Jill:




















This morning, Mona shampooed her hair, so I was about to dry it.

Mona: Adik nak drykan sendiri!!
Han: No. When you're as old as your Kak Nina, then you dry your own hair. Until then, you're my baby sister and I'm going to dry your hair for you.
Nina: *seriously* Yes Adik. Enjoy your childhood while you can.

So said the wise 10-year-old.

There are many reasons why fish sometimes drown. They need oxygen to live, and if they swim into oxygen-depleted waters, they will drown.

John Locke said: Education begins the gentleman,
but reading, good company and reflection
must finish him.


If you can keep your head when all about you
Are losing theirs and blaming it on you,
If you can trust yourself when all men doubt you,
But make allowance for their doubting too;
If you can wait and not be tired by waiting,
Or being lied about, don't deal in lies,
Or being hated, don't give way to hating,
And yet don't look too good, nor talk too wise:

If you can dream - and not make dreams your master;
If you can think - and not make thoughts your aim;
If you can meet with Triumph and Disaster
And treat those two impostors just the same;
If you can bear to hear the truth you've spoken
Twisted by knaves to make a trap for fools,
Or watch the things you gave your life to, broken,
And stoop and build 'em up with worn-out tools:

If you can make one heap of all your winnings
And risk it on one turn of pitch-and-toss,
And lose, and start again at your beginnings
And never breathe a word about your loss;
If you can force your heart and nerve and sinew
To serve your turn long after they are gone,
And so hold on when there is nothing in you
Except the Will which says to them: 'Hold on!'

If you can talk with crowds and keep your virtue,
Or walk with Kings - nor lose the common touch,
If neither foes nor loving friends can hurt you,
If all men count with you, but none too much;
If you can fill the unforgiving minute
With sixty seconds' worth of distance run,
Yours is the Earth and everything that's in it,
And - which is more - you'll be a Man, my son!
