"Freedom to live and to think about life for its own sake is important and even essential to a child. Since we can't know what knowledge will be most needed in the future, it is senseless to try to teach it in advance. Instead, we should try to turn out people who love learning so much and learn so well that they will be able to learn whatever needs to be learned." -John Holt.

A flag for dad 26 November 2010
En's welcome home craft for dad who was away for a business trip. :)
The first thing when En got to know that I am going NZ for business, she immediately asked Shannon if she can go with me. Bless her soul. She love to travel. Sometimes, I would bring the family along went I am off to Singapore or Penang or HK for business meetings, so she got use to it.
When I told her that she can;t go, she was disappointed and it was heart wrenching. I had to let her know about our limited financial capabilities. She took it in stride.
And when I returned, she made and gave a NZ flag to me as a surprise. Of course, me being a product of our public school, I got to check if the flag is correctly made (albeit secretly). I checked out the number of stars and the position of stripes and they are right on the money. Now, that's what i call "research"!!
