This is what I did!
Taken from here
I remember I did this in my primary school. Part of the "rainbow" theory in science subject.
Tools
I remember to did this after I read the "Famous Five " and "the Mysteries series"by Enyd Blyton.Where they need to send "secret" messages without letting the enemies of knowing it. So I pretend to be one of the detective and tried to pass the message to my brother. I even learn how to come out from a locked room! hahah... That time we didn't have Nintendo , PS2, PSP, PS3.PC, or many TV shows yet, so we must be pretty creative to entertain ourselves!
What is your favorite childhood books? And what is your favorite childhood activities?
I remember I did this in my primary school. Part of the "rainbow" theory in science subject.
Disappearing Color Science Experiment
This science experiment is a lot like magic. Watch the colors disappear right in front of your eyes!Tools
Paper plate
Pencil
Ruler
Markers (purple, blue, green, yellow, orange, red)
String or yarn
Procedure
1. Divide your plate into six even sections using your pencil and ruler.
2. Use your markers to color each section one of the colors of the rainbow.
3. Use your pencil to punch two small holes in your plate, each about 1cm from the center. Cut off the excess plate to leave just your colored circle. Lace your string or yard through the holes as shown.
4. Hold one end of the string in each hand so that the color disk is in the middle. Wind up your your disk by turning while you hold the string. You may need the assistance of another person. When the string is wound up tight pull both hands away from each other so that your colored disk spins quickly.
What Happens?
The color will begin to blur together and will eventually appear to disappear or turn white.
Why Does This Happen?
The disk need to be spun quickly in order to create the disappearing effect. At the fast rate of speed your eyes are not able to differentiate each individual color, you create a blurring effect with each color overlapping. Therefore, your brain perceives this combination of color as white light.
Extension
Try this again, but use only two primary colors on your disk. What do you think will happen?
Another one that I did and love to do is:
The Secret Messages
Taken from here
Do you have a budding detective at home? Does your curious first grader have a keen sense of observation? To develop a strong scientific thinking foundation, you'll want to provide opportunities for your child to explore scientific process skills such as using her senses to describe observations.
At school when your child learns about scientific concepts, she makes observations, she is encouraged to experiment with various materials and allow the materials to interact with other thing, and then make note of any changes. These are some of the fundamentals of scientific thinking and the basis for the scientific method, which she'll learn in the years ahead. Here’s an exciting experiment you can do with her at home that will continue to reinforce what she is learning at school, while dazzling her with mystery at the same time!
You Will Need:
- Lemon juice
- Cup
- Paintbrush
- White bond paper (This is white paper of 24 pound weight usually found at office supply stores.)
- Iron NOTE: Only an adult is allowed to use the iron!
- Newspaper
What to Do:
- Allow your child to squeeze the juice of one lemon into a cup.
- Tell your child to think of a secret message that she wants to write to a friend or family member.
- Then have your child dip the paintbrush in the lemon juice and paint her message on the white bond paper.
- Allow the paper to dry completely.
- Once the paper is completely dry, your child will need to place the drawing between several sheets of newspaper. Then iron the paper until your brown design appears.
- Allow your child to examine the secret message. Allow her to describe how the message looks different after it had been ironed, compared to how it looked before you ironed it. Then let your child deliver her secret message to her friend or family member.
Did You Know?
When the message is painted with lemon juice, it dries in an invisible design. Then when the iron heats the lemon juice markings, the natural sugar in the juice becomes activated and burns, turning into a brown carbon substance. The burned, browned juice then appears as the secret message.
So what do you think? do these experiment bring back your childhood memories ? And by the way I LOVE Enyd Blyton's book. The Famous Five, The mystery , The Secret Seven,St. Clare, The Mallory Towers! Oh how I love to buy those books to be pass on to my girls!What is your favorite childhood books? And what is your favorite childhood activities?
Hannah Montana the movie
Oh and I love her red shoes here!
Now I got the next plan for this holiday , Indy 's school holiday is for a month ! So she will learn the hoedown throwdown moves!( second song on the list) Good idea right?She even asked if she can have the dance for her birthday party! hmm that is an idea! LOL would that be fun to see all friends move ( include the uncles and aunties too!!!)
The movie has a lot of "starts" like : Taylor Swift, Tyra Banks, Vanessa Williams and of course Daddy Montana A.K.A Billy Ray Cyrus.
And Indy went goo goo gaa gaa over her dresses, those pretty pink one, the shoes, the hair. I told her to wait until she will be 16 to enjoy that! hmm... mission impossible!
Enjoy the music on the side bar!
School result and holiday
I saw others mom's blog about their children school reports. I normally don't blog about this. Her first term result was not bat either (Average of 98) , the same for the 2nd term, her average is 98,92. Which I think not bad at all. Her school system do not have rank. Like I mentioned before, it has a independent learning system. And I am glad I can see the result in her. She doesn't depends on me or teacher to do homework. She will try to read the instruction and read the whole page and do the questionnaire . When she is having difficulties then she will ask me. I think this attitude is great. Because learning is attitude. I am glad I don't have to ( or not yet ) to sit with her with a cane /rotan to force her to learn.
What to do this holiday? I am planning to do some experiments with her. Simple one. So far she made the homemade thermometer, the phone with string ( the one where Alexander Graham Bell's discovered that voice can transfer by "waves") , the next one will be a flying this with balloon ( the base theory of the flying hot balloon). I will need to google more experiment that is interesting for kids to do. I do believe that learning is no just try to memorize the text book. It is more into "life experiences".
If I could find the ant's farm set here ( you know where you put ants and soil in the jar and you cover the jar with black cardboard and after a while you open it you can see the "house" of the ants including the "Queen" room.) And too bad I couldn't find any caterpillar in my yard. I like to keep one and see how it metaphor into pretty butterfly. Or the tadpole that "change" into a frog.
Learning things by witnessing it with your own eyes is so much different that just to read from a text book.
I did this for many times during my childhood. Or the simple trap to catch flies. Yup that was some of my childhood self experiments at home. Will try to refresh my memory to find more simple yet interesting thing to do around our home.
Another interesting conversation between me and one Indy's classmate mom. We are talking about their BM and Mandarin's grade. Her dd got 70 for BM and 95 for Mandarin. But she can communicate in BM very fluently , on the other hand she can't speak Mandarin.
So there is the dilemma . Which one do you prefer? Grades? or the REAL skill?
I told her, that is fine. The important is that she can speak BM quiet well. The grades is just a number. And the grammar. Now about the Mandarin. Ok she got HIGH MARK, but she doesn't have the confident to speak it, it is either shy, or she doesn't have the confidence to speak ( they come from a non -mandarin speak family/environment).
Imagine to have a perfect mark of Mandarin in the report but then when she will be at the Mandarin speaking place only, if she can't communicate , the HIGH MARK wont be useful right?
The same with the BM, her mark is not that impressive but living in a country where most people speak BM, I think her speaking skills is more important than the MARK on the school report. So I told her mom that is ok. The important she can speak quite well and just need her to speak Mandarin more often.
Indy got 73 for BM and 72 for Mandarin, not that impressive either, that could been better, but at least I know if she is in the situation where she needs to speak that language she can manage it well ( think about emergency situation). My Niece and nephew were lost one time in the big mall in Jakarta. In situation like this, your school grade won't help. The important is your communicating skills ( BM or Bahasa Indonesia will HELP A LOT!) and the ability to stay calm and focus. Even that you are a straight A's students won't help much. Fortunately my nephew still can manage to spill out the " AKU HILANG" to the mall's guard. They were 10 and 9 years old by that time and he speaks a minimum B. Indonesia while my niece speak none ( English and Cantonese only) . That is why I want my children to speak Bahasa Indonesia and learn BM while we are living in Malaysia ( even that means they will speak wtih different accents and words and people will find it funny ). There is nothing to loose when you learn something new, you will never know when that comes in handy ( my dad's motto to me)
Have a great week a head!

If you have crush over Adam Lambert.. chance are : you are not alone! Read on...
I don't fancy Freddie Mercury either, I like Queens though , and I don't have crush over Elton John ( I mean .. hallo!!! I like his song but I dont think women can fall for him , can't you?)
Read this article to know more. And click to the link to read more ( married ) women commented on this article.( note: some comments sure will be sacrastic, but most of it voiced the agreement with the article)
What Is It About Adam Lambert? by Allegra Huston
The author of Love Child reflects on the panty-throwing days of yesteryear … and on the latest inspiration for the flinging of undergarments from ‘American Idol.’
By Allegra Huston
Editor’s Note: Allegra Huston’s new book, Love Child: A Memoir of Family Lost and Found, hit bookstores in April and has received rave reviews from Melik Kaylan at Forbes, the Daily Telegraph and wOw’s own Liz Smith, among others. Allegra is the youngest daughter of film director John Huston and sister of Oscar-winning actress Anjelica Huston. She was born in London, raised in Ireland and Los Angeles, and now lives in Taos, NM. She was a publisher in London for nine years and has been a freelance writer and editor since 1994.
In the early ’80s, I moved to London and discovered that housewives were throwing their panties at Freddie Mercury. I found it baffling. Tom Jones I could understand, though I didn’t buy into it; but Freddie Mercury was so obviously gay. These 40-something women in polyester dresses and perma-set hair were making idiots of themselves on the BBC, as if they didn’t understand what gay was.
I haven’t had a crush on a famous person since my yearning, aged 14, for John Travolta to rescue me from the mountaintop house ...
Could they really not know? I was only 16, but I knew perfectly well – maybe it was because I came from Los Angeles. I’d gone to Frederick’s of Hollywood with my stepmother to buy pink ostrich-feather mules in a size 13 for her friend Philip, to assist in his transformation into Marcia Hardridge.
And now I’m in my 40s, and, if I were the panty-throwing type, I’d want to throw mine at Adam Lambert. What has happened to me?
I’ve never liked the front-combed hair-in-the-face look. I don’t know that I’d actually vote for the black nail polish. And I’m a bit worried that he’s got some ghastly secret piercings. To be honest, I’m not really sure I want to find out. But there’s something about him that keeps me — and half the women I know — replaying old "American Idol" episodes on DVR and gazing at photographs of his blue-penciled eyes. (Let’s not forget that Brando did eyeliner too.) Bravery, maybe — he hooked me with “Ring of Fire.” The damn-the-torpedoes flamboyance, the oh-my-god-what-did-I-just-do look when he finished. The intense self-discipline obvious behind the recklessness. And the sweetness. And the smile.
Frankly, I don’t mind whether he’s kissing a guy or a girl in that photo with the overcoat and scarf and purple hair held back by sunglasses; it’s a very sexy photograph. I wouldn’t want to print it out if he was kissing a girl. I’d be jealous of her. A guy, I can’t compete with.
I’m thinking it may be better to have a crush on a gay man. I haven’t had a crush on a famous person since my yearning, aged 14, for John Travolta to rescue me from the mountaintop house that, behind my grandmother’s back, we called Gloom Castle. I felt like an idiot then, and I’d feel like one now if I was mooning around over photos of Johnny Depp or Denzel Washington and wondering whether, if we were stuck in an elevator together, they just might be up for it. Of course, they’re more my age. I was at university listening to the original “Mad World” when Adam Lambert was born.
He’s utterly unattainable. So what am I thinking? This way, I can really laugh at myself. I’m not like those Freddie Mercury housewives; I know the score. This is not a sad obsession. I’m hoping it might be chic.

If you are into AI 8 and if Adam is magical for you....
Here kudos to the technology...and youtube and internet is it....
I watched this over and over again and finally decided to post it in my blog
From Larry King live ( last week)
Be prepare of more Adam Lambert's video here.
It is either you will like it or you don't.....
But I <3..ADAM LAMBERT!!!! ( so mental preparation needed if you still want to visit my blog!)

The Millennium Life
How many of you own all of these gadgets :
Mobile phone with or without 3G , Email(s) account, or : Friendster, Facebook, Blog(s),Twitter , Personal Computer, Notebook ?
We can't deny that living in the modern world is great. I love gadgets. I can't go out without my mobile phone. Can you? I mean about 10 years ago, I can't go out without my watch. But now who need watch (if you forget it) if you can bring your mobile phone? You can keep track of time from your mobile, and of course make phone calls, texting, write down notes or shopping list, I don't even use alarm clock anymore, you know it is annoying to wake up to the RING RING RING sound. Why use the alarm clock while you can set your mobile phone into alarm and you can wake up to any songs that you like ( just download it!) . I wake up to Robert Pattinson " Never think" lately and this morning Adam Lambert's "Mad World" serenaded me and welcome the new day a head ( or going back to sleep ).
Let's see what else we can do with the mobile phone? We can check the calendar, write down agenda, we can type documents, oh and don't forget the calculator function too ( that is important when you share lunch's bill with your friends, to avoid any embarrassment because you can't divide RM 73.50 by 3). And if you have the more advance mobile you can check emails, do video calls ( where I can let my girls to see their Dad's face so can he), go online, do internet banking, mobile blogging and hey don't forget to update your Facebook's status too! Oh and how about uploading mobile's photos and MMS-ing the photos seconds after it was taken to my family all over the world? ( Hmm... now I know why my monthly bill is high!)
So how does this gadgets affect how our life? I must say, it affect me in a good way ( I hope or I think so..or hmm wait.. is it good way?) Let's see.....
Ok now how about e-mails : I have at least 4 accounts. Wait no ....I have 5 accounts! Am I nuts? FIVE?? Well I have my reasons :). Back to the topic, emails is un-dispensable these days. I can't imagine world's without emails. It makes my personal and professional life much much easier.I can send my digital pictures instantly via emails, or post it to facebook and blog.
Internet : oh... the list are endless , online shopping, blog hopping, internet banking, youtube( LOVE this, I can see all the interview of various program that are not shown on the TV), check cinema online, go to Wikipedia , download musics, find children games. The list goes on and on.
Through sms-ing lately, me and a coupe of other friends were thinking : why is it that if we don't have internet for 2 days it will be a disaster? And while our husbands go to outstation for 2 days , we can't even feel it? Do we love internet more ?:P If my internet line got problem I would freak out in no time and I am not joking! What??? no internet for 2 days?? OH nooo...
When dh said : I will go out of the down for 2 days.... Oh Ok then See ya!!!
hmm...
The next is :
Chatting ( MSN, YM, Skype) oh man! love to chat! I can do conference's chat with my high school best friends in Papua New Guinea , San Mateo , California. We chatted and chatted like the old days. Alot of laughter , and while doing so, I updated my status in Facebook : Chatting with my B%*$H*S.... So another friend in Jakarta read in and then she just need to wrote in to my "wall" : HEY!!! Let me join , Boss is away now, miss u gals!So the conference chat now became merrier! HAH!And while doing so, I didn't go out a step a far from my comfort zone at home , in front of my pc. And so did my friends. It was just like the "virtual" version of the episode of Sex and the City.
And I chat , almost daily with my dad too! And of course with my sisters as well. And my friends ( some blogger friends / customers )
Then the blogs....if you read this by now, most probably you also have a blog or blogs. And I think it is nice to keep on blogging. It helps me to know ( or you to know) that other people also share the same struggle or ideas in live. When you feel like you failed as a parents, you read other's mom blog , and she feels the same way like you, so it's somehow help you to deal with your stress... I am not all alone in all of these mess!
And there are the "virtual" social networking. Latest deal is of course " FACEBOOK". Hmmm FB!!... It is addicting isn't? When the first I joined " Friendster " I was like soooo impressed that I can find my old friends again. And now same in the Facebook.
I can see the photos of my friend's newborn baby in Hong Kong just hours after the delivery, I can read other's mom status that she was in the labor room and ready to pop ( facebook mobile, darlin!). And I could see that my other friend just got engaged, Divorce, got new hot boyfriend, or the kids are having fever ( again) all in the page! It is much easier to keep it with other's people life like this.
And then there is " TWITTER" . YUP!! That's the Twit! I am on Twitter too so that you know ! HA...But mainly I use twitter to "stalk" celebrities , follow the news. I never would imagine , 14 years ago , that I will play a guessing game with Jordan Knight on Twitter. WHAAAT????/ Yup... you read that right! He likes to post some questions and me ( and thousands of other people) will try to answer it. No prize but hey... he is Jordan K from the NKOTB. Ok.. playing guessing with some celebrities on Twitter won't boast up my C.V or increase my salary if I apply for job , but hey: It is FUN!
I can read Paula Abdul's status that she was on the AI 's rehearsal show, and I know that Mike Tyson's girl has died because of the accident , the same second as Ryan Seacrest posted it on his Twit. And yup he is in LA and I am in Sabah!
But then... how much is TOO MUCH??
Does this Millenium things has turn us up to an anti social?
We need to have limit the time we spend for virtual stuffs.
While texting is really convenience , but a call for a close friend will mean much more.
While sending virtual gifts ( flowers, hatching eggs, handbags , make ups or just virtual Latte) are fun, but inviting your friends for a cup of REAL coffee at your place with some homemade "ubi goreng/fried sweet potatoes" or "pisang goreng/fried banana" or just some homemade doughnuts will better.
While following other , either at Facebook or Friendster or Blogs, once in a while , a real " meeting" over lunch or family outing are important too!
But still our virtual life can help to " heat" up our real conversation. For instance , if you read my blog or I read your blog, I know what's going on with your life lately, so we can discuss it more on the real life meeting ( hey where did you buy those make ups? or hey how are your kids? or have you find a new job yet? how is your new job doing? or Congrats on your new baby/job etc etc.
Reading other's problem in their blog help us to review our mistakes and ideas in life. Sharing in loving....
But again... what to share and what not to share..... this is yours to decide. I know my limit. I think, again I think... my real personality might be not as you imagine when you read my blog, but I think I am not much different in person. Will be a bit more quite or more chatty depends on my mood :)
But personal life or problem's , will be filtered here. Since this blog is for public to see. The reason is obvious : Privacy.
Last couple of weeks I read one of my guy friend's status on FB : Honey, let's sleep now and make 2nd baby?
Me: Is he serious??? C'mon!!!!! People can read that! They live in the same house...
What is the purpose? Want to let the friends know that he LIVE with the wife or that HE can SLEEP with the wife?
That could be a joke, maybe it was me that think that is just too much.
Sharing that you are in the mall, eating lunch, getting haircut, stuck in your in law's , that are fine.
But again.... this virtual life style need to be limited. As fun as it is to play the games , waiting for those eggs to hatch, or to the harvest those corn on the farm, we still need to spare our time to play real games. At our house : water balloons are the most current popular game between our girls. Last month Indy was in love with monopoly and before that the Twister.
I still manage to make some home made doughnuts, and share it with my neighbors, , sipping cup of coffee with friends in our living room.
I read on the news that some moms send sms to their teenager : dinner is ready.. come down...
Or post in the FB's wall : hey honey, you forget to take your medicine.
hmm... I must be aware to not turn into that kind of Millennium mom!
So who is up for tea time at my place? Time and Date? hmm wait let me see.... I will tell you right after I finish the quiz I am doing right now in Facebook...
Just check my status on FB later and just leave comment if you can come, or text me or email me or just put comment on this blog...or you can also "twitt" me!
*wink*

Ok now how about e-mails : I have at least 4 accounts. Wait no ....I have 5 accounts! Am I nuts? FIVE?? Well I have my reasons :). Back to the topic, emails is un-dispensable these days. I can't imagine world's without emails. It makes my personal and professional life much much easier.I can send my digital pictures instantly via emails, or post it to facebook and blog.
Internet : oh... the list are endless , online shopping, blog hopping, internet banking, youtube( LOVE this, I can see all the interview of various program that are not shown on the TV), check cinema online, go to Wikipedia , download musics, find children games. The list goes on and on.
Through sms-ing lately, me and a coupe of other friends were thinking : why is it that if we don't have internet for 2 days it will be a disaster? And while our husbands go to outstation for 2 days , we can't even feel it? Do we love internet more ?:P If my internet line got problem I would freak out in no time and I am not joking! What??? no internet for 2 days?? OH nooo...
When dh said : I will go out of the down for 2 days.... Oh Ok then See ya!!!
hmm...
The next is :
Chatting ( MSN, YM, Skype) oh man! love to chat! I can do conference's chat with my high school best friends in Papua New Guinea , San Mateo , California. We chatted and chatted like the old days. Alot of laughter , and while doing so, I updated my status in Facebook : Chatting with my B%*$H*S.... So another friend in Jakarta read in and then she just need to wrote in to my "wall" : HEY!!! Let me join , Boss is away now, miss u gals!So the conference chat now became merrier! HAH!And while doing so, I didn't go out a step a far from my comfort zone at home , in front of my pc. And so did my friends. It was just like the "virtual" version of the episode of Sex and the City.
And I chat , almost daily with my dad too! And of course with my sisters as well. And my friends ( some blogger friends / customers )
Then the blogs....if you read this by now, most probably you also have a blog or blogs. And I think it is nice to keep on blogging. It helps me to know ( or you to know) that other people also share the same struggle or ideas in live. When you feel like you failed as a parents, you read other's mom blog , and she feels the same way like you, so it's somehow help you to deal with your stress... I am not all alone in all of these mess!
And there are the "virtual" social networking. Latest deal is of course " FACEBOOK". Hmmm FB!!... It is addicting isn't? When the first I joined " Friendster " I was like soooo impressed that I can find my old friends again. And now same in the Facebook.
I can see the photos of my friend's newborn baby in Hong Kong just hours after the delivery, I can read other's mom status that she was in the labor room and ready to pop ( facebook mobile, darlin!). And I could see that my other friend just got engaged, Divorce, got new hot boyfriend, or the kids are having fever ( again) all in the page! It is much easier to keep it with other's people life like this.
And then there is " TWITTER" . YUP!! That's the Twit! I am on Twitter too so that you know ! HA...But mainly I use twitter to "stalk" celebrities , follow the news. I never would imagine , 14 years ago , that I will play a guessing game with Jordan Knight on Twitter. WHAAAT????/ Yup... you read that right! He likes to post some questions and me ( and thousands of other people) will try to answer it. No prize but hey... he is Jordan K from the NKOTB. Ok.. playing guessing with some celebrities on Twitter won't boast up my C.V or increase my salary if I apply for job , but hey: It is FUN!
I can read Paula Abdul's status that she was on the AI 's rehearsal show, and I know that Mike Tyson's girl has died because of the accident , the same second as Ryan Seacrest posted it on his Twit. And yup he is in LA and I am in Sabah!
But then... how much is TOO MUCH??
Does this Millenium things has turn us up to an anti social?
We need to have limit the time we spend for virtual stuffs.
While texting is really convenience , but a call for a close friend will mean much more.
While sending virtual gifts ( flowers, hatching eggs, handbags , make ups or just virtual Latte) are fun, but inviting your friends for a cup of REAL coffee at your place with some homemade "ubi goreng/fried sweet potatoes" or "pisang goreng/fried banana" or just some homemade doughnuts will better.
While following other , either at Facebook or Friendster or Blogs, once in a while , a real " meeting" over lunch or family outing are important too!
But still our virtual life can help to " heat" up our real conversation. For instance , if you read my blog or I read your blog, I know what's going on with your life lately, so we can discuss it more on the real life meeting ( hey where did you buy those make ups? or hey how are your kids? or have you find a new job yet? how is your new job doing? or Congrats on your new baby/job etc etc.
Reading other's problem in their blog help us to review our mistakes and ideas in life. Sharing in loving....
But again... what to share and what not to share..... this is yours to decide. I know my limit. I think, again I think... my real personality might be not as you imagine when you read my blog, but I think I am not much different in person. Will be a bit more quite or more chatty depends on my mood :)
But personal life or problem's , will be filtered here. Since this blog is for public to see. The reason is obvious : Privacy.
Last couple of weeks I read one of my guy friend's status on FB : Honey, let's sleep now and make 2nd baby?
Me: Is he serious??? C'mon!!!!! People can read that! They live in the same house...
What is the purpose? Want to let the friends know that he LIVE with the wife or that HE can SLEEP with the wife?
That could be a joke, maybe it was me that think that is just too much.
Sharing that you are in the mall, eating lunch, getting haircut, stuck in your in law's , that are fine.
But again.... this virtual life style need to be limited. As fun as it is to play the games , waiting for those eggs to hatch, or to the harvest those corn on the farm, we still need to spare our time to play real games. At our house : water balloons are the most current popular game between our girls. Last month Indy was in love with monopoly and before that the Twister.
I still manage to make some home made doughnuts, and share it with my neighbors, , sipping cup of coffee with friends in our living room.
I read on the news that some moms send sms to their teenager : dinner is ready.. come down...
Or post in the FB's wall : hey honey, you forget to take your medicine.
hmm... I must be aware to not turn into that kind of Millennium mom!
So who is up for tea time at my place? Time and Date? hmm wait let me see.... I will tell you right after I finish the quiz I am doing right now in Facebook...
Just check my status on FB later and just leave comment if you can come, or text me or email me or just put comment on this blog...or you can also "twitt" me!
*wink*
