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.

It is located at the end of the row of shops and restaurants at Portuguese Village.</p><p dir="ltr">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 </p>

From a lead of the small kids group, Hui has moved up to perform a short solo this year. En will also be doing a short solo as well.<br />
It is something that they worked for and looked forward to in 2015.

The performance was finally over. They are happy and satisfied but also sad that it is over. I crashed in bed and took two full days to recuperate and get back up on my feet. I felt so exhausted. A sign of desperate need to increase stamina. </div>

The best thing for her is the monthly free entry she gets. She simply love to play at the park. It is a huge play land. <br />
<br />
As it is coming to an end, the kids were asked to write a testimonial of what they have learned and what advice they would give to the next batch of Congress Kids. I showed Hui the email from Kidzania. <br />
<br />
This is what she wrote, <br />
<br />
" I learned that teamwork makes good progress. I also learned that everyone is important and hard work pays off"<br />
<br />
When I read the line, I was surprised ! I asked, did Kidzania meetings teach that ? !!<br />
She replied "Huh no, I don't know what to write" <br />
Hahaha I laughed out loud. I said , "" That line is brilliant. I like "everyone is important." "" <br />
<br />
And her advice was " Be prepared to work under noises as the children are noisy".<br />
<br />
I asked "hmmm, is there a way to rephrase the advice to be more pleasantly sound? "<br />
<br />
Here is the edited version, <br />
"Be prepared to work under noises because all Congrezz Kids are full of ideas"<br />
<br />
Hahaha.

My kids and I huddled and watched together. It was one of the many great moments spent. <br />
I found it an easy way to briefly introduce them to Stephen Hawking. The two young reader books of him have been displayed on the book shelf untouched for some time now. I saw Hui stared at them after the movie, contemplating of reading it. I hope they find pleasure in reading those books. <br />
<br />
For me, I am not a fan of cosmology. What moved me is the quote mentioned in the movie<br />
<br />
"It is clear that we are just an advanced breed of primates on a minor planet orbiting around a very average star in the outer suburb of one among 100 billion galaxies. But ever since the dawn of civilization people have craved the understanding of the underlying order of the world. There ought to be something very special about the boundary condition of the universe. And what can be more special than that there is no boundary? And there should be no boundary to human endeavor. We are all different. However bad life may seem there is always something you can do and succeed at. While there is life, there is hope."<br />

Someone whom we just met gave Hui a beautiful ballet costume. I advised Hui to show appreciation by making something for her in return. She sewn the tote bag, handkerchief and scrunchy. There is nothing better than a thoughtful handmade stuffs I think. </div>
