But we cannot all dream the same dreams, or go through the same courses. We could study wire management because we are fascinated with wires, or be a social worker because of our passions, or be an astronaut because we want to reach the stars.

Our differences are what make us tick, they define each of us. So, let us not compare people or ask why we are not like her/him. This is just a very simple lesson we need to learn and pass on, because sometimes we tend to forget it and most of the time, we just mold ourselves to be like other people.

The kids have a chance to play with it from time to time. One day, my 5-year old daughter told me: “Look Mummy, I show you how to download free games on your iPad.” LOL. Kids nowadays are smart like that.

I don’t believe in letting them use my tablet computer all the time. However, letting them use it for educational purposes for a certain period of time is healthy.

I hope to keep it this way.

So what songs did we sing? Songs by Air Supply, Celine Dion, Reo Speedwagon, etc. Judging from our list of singers, you already can tell which era I and my husband came from. Really great songs from the 70′s and 80′s. I don’t say I don’t like the songs of 2010′s… It’s just that I used to listen to songs more before than these days. Oh well, enough being so defensive. LOL.

I am thankful that my dear hubby still remembers to give me flowers at least once a month. Did I mention that I was his first love ever? He fondly tells me about this promise he made to himself when he was still single: that when he gets married, he was going to give flowers to his wife every month. Some people say I am lucky—but I think “blessed” is a more appropriate term.

Whenever I receive a bouquet of those gorgeous flowers month after month, I’d always wish I could keep them longer. Sweet hubby just does not fail to make me happy. I would not be surprised if he orders from proflowersphoenix.com if he has to!

I love the fact that we have a garden in our home. We used to live in a condo, which we loved as well but having a yard for the kids to play at really makes a lot of difference.

I am thinking of getting patio furniture soon… maybe on our next IKEA trip. I am not planning to buy anything else, but IKEA trips are always coupled with the best temptations so I’d better ready myself… and my budget too!

I wonder where I would be traveling this year? Most of my trips I did not even plan when a year starts. They are just surprises that come along the way. So, I guess I will just get ready when another surprise comes up! Am I excited? You bet!

I don’t know if being a foodie would qualify me for Food Service Jobs. But I guess this kind of job would require training, and is not just about food tasting. A sufficient knowledge in food and its nutritional value would also be needed, which I don’t have.

Receiving flowers is actually quite uncommon during the holiday season as most would give other things than flowers. But if this wish won’t come true this Christmas, there’s still Valentine’s Day come February, and time flies so fast, so in just a couple of weeks from now, who knows I might receive one.

At this rate, they would need to buy their own life insurance earlier, just to be prepared. Sometimes, I wish they would not grow up this fast and just retain their innocence but because of media, we can only filter the messages they send but not completely shield the children from it.

We had an early Christmas show for the kids, two of my clown friends did a skit on Jesus’ birth and how He is a gift in our lives. Afterwards, we played with them and we all had fun. I was wondering whether next time we could do an arts and craft session with them like paper mache, Beads, origami and other simple things.
