It’s only a meme-post…

I started writing this, and then forgot all about it!

I have been a silent reader of Anna’s creativity and craftiness for a long time now. I also once declared that I would attempt this at home myself (along with revamping this blog, putting in more attention on properly setting up Adsense, work out a routine for routine work outs, etc), but I will ashamedly give you the excuse of “no time”- when I know it’s really only a matter of time management (or as some self-help experts would say “priority management”; time is constant for everyone on Earth).

China quake: Please help me..

Posted on 21 May, 2008 | Leave a comment

.
I subscribe to BBC’s Global News podcasts. Since the China earthquake they have been covering it in every podcast episode.

The latest episode (Global News 21 May AM edition) had a reporter covering the orphaned kids, reporting from a makeshift middle school, of only tents.

One account was on a couple of kids. Both are too young to really understand what happened, with the older one still waiting for their parents to come pick them up. Their grandfather says he’s over 60 years old now, admits he cannot care for them, has to rely on the govt, and worries about their future.

Another account is on a 14 year old boy who does know what’s going on. He was only recently reunited with his younger 8 year old sister. He wants to stay with his aunt and uncle, “but if they don’t want us, we will go.”

Dr Pixie is looking to go there to give any assistance she can. But I understand that she is unable to obtain a Chinese visa. At the moment she and another Dr are looking for ways they can go.

If anyone can help with “pulling strings” with Chinese visa, please let me know.

Famous quotes for the moment!

Sigh, this Daddee ah, so silly…

It’s okay Daddee, I licked it already!

Daddee? Where is the talker from the radio?
What do you mean?
Where is the talker on the radio; where is he?
……..

While playing with her Lego toys, we were trying to build a tall castle, which obviously kept falling over. Daddee suggested that instead of building it upwards / tall; “So that instead of making the people run up and down (the towers), let’s make it wider (with the limited blocks) so that the people can run left and right.”

Caitlin lays the existing tall tower on its side. “You mean like this?”

I was dumbfounded, but still kept my cool. “Yeah, like this…” My goodness, lateral thinking!

And the final word, from Caleb: aaaaahhhhhhgegegegegegegegegegege…
