Zimbabwe

This morning I saw this figure in the newspaper 642,371,437,695,221,000.00

Do you know what is this figure for?


This is the exchange rate for Zimbabwean dollars to one US dollar. Do you know how to read it?It's should be read as ZWD 642 Quadrillion. Can you imagine USD1.00 = ZWD 642 Quadrillion!!!

According to Central Statistical Office statistics, annual inflation rate for Zimbabwe rose to 231 million percent in July 2008. The month-on-month rate rose to 2,600.2%.

In Zimbabwe, they sale one egg is about ZWD 35,000,000,000.00. I don't know how to survey in this country with this huge inflation rate.

We should be happy, we are in Malaysia and with the only 8% inflation rate.



Does this note look familiar, like we used to burn to our ancestors. Hihihii...

Look-Alike 父女像

Some of my friends & relatives commented that I & KV look-alike. Some said our eyes look alike and some said the lower part of our face. So yesterday I took a picture of me & KV, what do you think, do we look-alike?

Rainbow 彩虹

今早来上班的时候, 在途中看见好美丽的彩虹, 当时的心情突然开心起来. 回想, 大概有一年的时间没看见彩虹. 当每次看见彩虹的时候, 心情会特别好和开心. 我会感觉到仿佛从天上降下来的祝福.

现在的经济不景气下, 受到天上的祝福, 往往希望每天都幸福.

在此也把这个祝福送给今天没看见彩虹的你. 希望你幸福和快乐.

A Busy Sunday

Last Sunday was KV & JD Annual Graduation & Concert. This was the final year for KV but first time for JD whose were participated in this concert. Next year KV will be in Primary One. This event was held at Bukit Jalil Golf Club.


In the morning about 7.30am, I sent KV & JD to the venue for preparation & makeup. The event was started at 9.30am with buffet breakfast and the performance began at 9.45am.


These two pretty girls whose were the MC. They are a primary student. KV was performed in the first dance together with a group of 5 & 6 yrs old students. The dance titled 'Back to the Future". This dance had won the 2nd prize in the Smart Kids Competition 2008 as well as performed in the Royal Charity Dinner and was witnessed by to the King.

JD was performed in the 3rd dance - Alisan Dance. This was the only dance performed by 3 yrs old students.

KV performed another dance - Indiance Dance. She and her partner were giving a short speech before the dance.

KV received the Maths Star Award from her principal Ms. Annie.

The 12 awarded students lined up on stage. Every subject was awarded to two students, the subjects are BM, English, Mandarin, Maths, Writing & Public Speaking.

The concert was finished at 12.30pm. After the concert, KV rushed to attend the 4th CMA Mental & Arithmetic Competition which was held at Sri Kembangan. After the competition, we went home to let KV has a rest and bath. After that, we returned back to the competition venue to wait for the result. The result was announced around 4.30pm. KV won the 2nd prize in On-Line practises. KV won the 1st Prize in the category of Mental Arithmetic - Grade 7. All the Champions from each grade posed with Ms.Ivy (The CEO of CMA-M'sia) and Master Tai (The founder of CMA).
KV won another 1st Prize. This was from the category of Abacus Arithmetic - Grade 9. KV posed with her 3 trophies.

Abacus & Mental Arithmetic

JD (柞希) going to be 4 next year. I'm planning to send him to CMA for learning Abacus & Mental Arithmetic with KV and KV has been studying in CMA since she was 4.

To enroll in CMA, the child who need to understand, read & write from 0 to 9. They don't have age limitation. If your child is 3 and he/she fullfill their requirement, then you can enroll he /she anytime. From my experience, it is good to learn when they are small. Since JD(柞希) is learning Maths in Kindergarten, understanding & reading from 0 to 9 are not a problem but his writing skill needs to be improved.

Before he can enroll in CMA, now I'm start teaching him some basic of mental arithmetic and to train his writing skills. So that he learn some basic before start the class.

KV & JD(柞希) are doing homeworks together.
This is JD's homework. Last time, I used the same material to teach KV. If you look at the question, do you know the answer? Actually it is simply. Next blog, I'll explain it to you. These are KV's homeworks. The questions are more difficult.
