Kampung Boy

with 3 comments


I know I haven’t been updating but anyway, an extract from a book titled, Kampung Boy: Yesterday and Today, was given to me as an assignment. So, we had to do somewhat a storyboard on it? – Which was what you saw above. So I thought I should share this as I’m clearing space on my MacBook. And this would be my first post on my MacBook. I know that rewinding a few posts I said that I decided to not buy a Macbook but I bought it anyway since my other laptop crashed on me.

 

Have mercy on what you just saw as I only spent a day for this assignment for grading. Heh.

Piggy Bank

with 6 comments

Clickity clank, clickity clank, the money goes into my piggy bank.

I’m going to save for the new white macbook with the NVIDIA GeForce 9400M graphics card. And I’m intending to upgrade the space and ram since I don’t really like the new aluminum macbook even though it’s much better. The design comes first, performance second. That’s for me.

 

It’ll take awhile to save for a new notebook. So the thing that sucks being a student is money. Still, for that macbook, it’ll definitely take less than ten months.*

 

Image wise:

The piggy bank coin image is also available in gold here.

 

* Less than ten months would only happen if I cut down splurging on cigarettes and Starbucks. If not, the new notebook is never going to happen.

Wind It Up

with 3 comments

Stop staying still. Your life’s stagnant. You know what you want. And you know the way. The key is located in you. Self-motivation, you’ll reach it. You need a hundred percent. No more distractions. Make it work. No more procrastination. You’re ageing, really.

 

Everyone’s procrastinating. Such a cliché, let’s be determined. It’s about time to wind it up, Mr. Clockwork.

Stopping Your Child’s Pacifier Addiction

with 4 comments

Nineteen years ago, my time on Earth began on this very day. So while growing up, I, and I believe many babies out there were given a pacifier keep us tame.

 

Overtime, like drugs, it will become an addiction for the babies. Parents often many find ways to help their child quit their cravings for the pacifier but to no avail. Well, I can’t assure you if my method works, but it’s worth a try. At least it worked on every of my younger cousins with this addiction. It isn’t my method anyway. It was my Aunt’s idea. So I’m just here to share the method that my family has adopted to make the little ones stop having the pacifier in their mouth.

 

In just five simple steps, you may be able to acquire success. Success rate would also be increase if your child is afraid of insects, specifically worm. You’ll need two items before you start, which I believe every household should have. Its just a pair of scissors and a fraction of a garlic. With that said, read the procedures below with illustrations to your aid.

While your child is not occupied with the pacifier, take it!

Step One: While your child is not occupied with the pacifier, take it!

Use a pair of scissors to cut the top of the pacifier. 

Step Two: Use a pair of scissors to cut the top of the pacifier.

Make sure the hole is big enough for a fraction of a garlic.

Step Three: Make sure the hole is big enough for a fraction of a garlic.

Cut out a small part of the garlic.

Step Four: Cut out a small part of the garlic.

Squeese the part of the garlic into the pacificer.

The Last Step: Squeese the part of the garlic into the pacificer.

By squeezing the garlic into the pacifier, it would make the pacifier to appear as if some worm has settled into your child’s favourite item. So what you have to do after this is to show the results to your child. Create a story and let your best freaking-out emotion that would land you in Oscars surface upon your face.

 

Keep making sounds like “EEK, EEEEEE, and YUCK!” to reassure your child that his or her favourite item has been infected with disgusting creature. If you have more than one child at about the same age with the same addiction, it would be like killing two birds with one stone if one of their response to it is according to what we expect here, as he/she would be likely to influence the other.

 

What should you do if they are sickened by the looks of their pacifier is that you should get them to dump their pacifier into the bin. Encourage them. By getting them to dump it themselves, you can use this against them in the future should they request for their pacifier and throwing a tantrum if it does not appear. Should they throw a tantrum, remind them that they were the one who toss it away because it was infected. Overtime, they’ll forget about it.

 

I don’t know if this would work for your child but it’s still worth a try right? If you have tried it and succeed, congratulations! Fellow peers of mine, not to worry; this information might be useful for you in the future or useful for your stubborn little ones from your family should they possess this addiction (:
