Kids are so happy! The first papaya harvested from the papaya tree that they planted from seed. Such wondrous moment.
Unschooling Homeschool
"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.

Portuguese Settlement Heritage Museum Melaka 9 January 2016
A friend recommended me to this museum. It is located at the end of the row of shops and restaurants at Portuguese Village.
The area was quiet and the museum was closed when we arrived. I called the contact number displayed at the entrance and Jerry picked up the phone and opened the door for us. He gave us a tour at the collection contributed by the residents of the settlement. It was informative and I was told to return on the festivals day to experience real home cooked Portuguese food. There are rhe San Juan, Intrudu and San Pedro festivals

After a happy year with scout, kids said they need a scarf to go with their scout T-shirt.
We went to the shop to have a look at the price and have a close look at the material. With the info gathered, we gave it a good thought if should we make or buy one.
At the end, we asked around for old primary school pinafore and sewn it into a scarf.

Lilo s Traveller Home Cherating Kemaman Pahang 24 December 2015
It has been a great pleasure to meet Boon, Sachi and little Lilo and stayed with them. Lilo is very adorable and fun to be with. Boon shared generously on how to grow food and showed us his plants. He also cooks well and accomodate our vegetarian requests. His cafe located on the beach.
Accommodation is simple and very basic which is what we prefer. The beach is about 5 to 10 minutes walk from Lilo s home, across the road.
