Parents vs Homework

The word 'homework' is an uncountable noun but it carries the most countable workload for my son. How do u feel when ur 5 year old comes home with 6 pages of homework. For instance he might have 4 pages of writing (if u compare with those days we had half the page of writing during school hours where the other half of the page has a picture on it) and 2 pages of sums to subtract. I fail to understand the point of this continuous drilling. Does a student get any intelligent by this gruesome drilling? I believe it does not necessarily make anyone any smarter but could make someone hardworking. It was all about fun, enjoyment and learning through hands on activity in those days when I was in Kindergarten. Can't children be children anymore? Why society's expectation has to be so harsh? Sometimes I tell my son that u don't have to do everything, just one page of each would do good. My efforts to persuade him has availed to nothing. I could see fear in his eyes when he couldn't finish every single page. He could wake miidle of the night and talk about homework and early morning when I am about to rush out to work he could come and talk about finishing the homework. Competition between schools and to be on top of the list that produces the best students have a cost. A cost children has to bear. Is this fair on children.

Expect the unexpected

Angel and Demons – It was nothing compared to what I had expected. I thought it was a scary movie and I had to close my eyes 50% of the time to avoid getting scared at home when alone. Of course I like scary movies because I could scream in the cinema guilt free and not to mention the part where you get to hold hands….. The word demon gives u a certain expectation but nothing close to a demon was in the movie. It is no surprise that the demons in the movie are the man himself which is happening all over the world. Man is solely responsible for all the sufferings, deceptions, cruelity….etc

irresponsible

One may always wonder what kind of responsibility should the person be taking especially when the responsibility comes direct from his/her action. Some are ignorant in accepting such responsibilities and the person who is left to do everyhting gets disheartened, annoyed and frustrated. It is unfair when responsibilities and commitments are not equally divided. Is life all about material things? Is life without any luxury no life?
With all this frustration, one should admire the determination, dedication the other puts in to give a better future to the people he/she loves.

sleep deprived

What is your beauty secret? Mine would be sleeping well which I hardly do right now for two main reasons. One is to look after ma cute little sweetie pie which is the most natural thing to do and the other reason is heat. Can u imagine my bedroom air-con is broken and I just can't stand the heat right now. It doesn't help either in the work place which is no secret. Global warming is really affecting my sleep. Can we do something to be more environmentally friendly? Do your bit pleazzzzzz.

mom day treat

Thunder cats

Have u ever watched the cartoon, thunder cats? I grew up watching the cartoon but there was this character i was so scared of. The villain of the cartoon, Mamra, always gave me chills. He is a mummy, face skeletal, but the body is quite muscular. I don't know how the body was preserved so well while the facial muscles disintergrated. It is a good watch. Now as an adult when I reflect back i can't believe I was so scared of mamra as the guy haunted me even in my dreams. Anyways, cartoon characters that scares are rare to find. Mamra was my nightmare

Driving mistakes

Submarine

The maximum number of people allowed in a submarine is 99 people. However, the 99th person who came aboard was a pregnent lady. To make the matters worse she was 81/2 months pregnent, expecting triplets. Shortly just after that the submarine sank. The question is why did the submarine sink?
