对膨化食物不是很爱好
但是中午在五元店看见这个零食

包装上的图片勾起回忆
在脑袋里的抽屉翻了翻
发觉对它的味道还有印象
回到办公室打开一尝

果然

很久很久以前的零食
那是膨化食物寥寥可数的年代

3汤匙+温鲜奶=宝宝和妈妈5小时的好眠

Social Media can definitely make your business successful, but we shouldn’t forget the fact that it won’t happen overnight. It should be used as a way to grow your business slowly and gradually and, hence, expecting quick results will be a big mistake.

A lot of websites, blogs and small business owners struggle with social media marketing and want to know how they can utilize the power of this highly effective medium.

1. Increase Your Visibility

You can easily increase your visibility with social media sites. Whether you are using Facebook, Twitter, YouTube or any other popular platform, you will be able to connect with people and create new connections. You will be able to find people from different regions. If you want to connect with people from a specific region, let’s say where you reside, then social media sites, like Facebook, will allow you to do so. Your visibility increases as you meet new people and grow your network. Hence, your business will be discovered by new people, who wouldn’t know about it otherwise.

2. Connect with People who Share the Same Interests

As you meet new people and grow your network, it is advisable to find like-minded people. It may take time to find the right audience and this is why you should never think of social media as a “get-rich-quickly” sort of thing. People will listen to you if you will tell them something that they like. This is why it is crucial to find people with common interests. Otherwise, your message will simply be ignored.

3. Find People Who Share the Same Goal

Now, here I am talking about your competitors. Find and join the groups of your competitors, because you will find your target audience there as well. Plus, you will also be able to learn from successful businesses who are conveniently selling their products or services to your market. Never hesitate to share your views, however, in a professional manner.

4. Feel Connected – Talk to Your Network

You should now be feeling connected and it’s about time you start talking to your network. Ensure that you first draw a line between spamming and talking. When you spam, you just post links and talk about your products. Whereas, when you talk, you actually take interest in other people, answer their questions, provide suggestions and even ask for suggestions. This is what networking is all about and this practice (talking properly) actually helps you build your credibility and enhance the image of your business.

5. Get the Latest Updates to Keep Your Business Up-to-Date

As you will be connected with your market and your competitors, you will be able to have immediate access to latest trends, research and discoveries (of course related to your niche). This will help you put yourself in a better position by evaluating your own products and by understanding the needs of your market. If your competitors will come out with something new and unique, you will know about it instantly. This will help you stay in the game by redefining or improving your products according to the needs of your potential buyers.

The bottom line is… To succeed in social media marketing, you’ve got to be patient. Don’t expect quick results, but do expect good results. Be persistent and you will enjoy business growth very soon.

Miss Mexico Jimena Navarrete is crowned the 59th Miss Universe in Las Vegas.

Miss Philippines Venus Raj was the best placed Asian rep as 4th runner up; while Miss Thailand Fonthip Watcharatrakul surprisingly didn’t even make it to the last 15 despite winning both Miss Photogenic and Best National Costume titles.

Pardon me, but this proud Mama has got to gloat. We've been sort of training Paul how to return high-fives, and on Saturday morning, he surprised me with this very, very lucky shoot of awesome high-fives!

Now if I can only get him to give people fives on demand. Right now he seems to only respond to me!!!

I know I'm tempting fate by saying that life right now is good. Given the circumstances of the past year, the loose ends to clean up is close to relaxing. Of course, I tend to forget that in my life, there is no such thing as peace and comfort. If we can extrapolate the events of my life so far, this part is the calm lull before some insane hurricane sweeps past, forcing me to once again batten down the hatches and weather it out.

Some days I am amazed how I've dealt the things in my life and came out. Sure I have no friends and I've had very bad things happen to me and would probably still happen, but somehow, regardless of the hypomanic/depression mood swings, I have handled every moment as they come and in many ways come out a little better because of it. Alright, at this point, I realise I may not fulfill my childhood dream of becoming ruler of the world. Yet given what I've earn thus far, it's hard not to take some fierce pride in it all.

During some of my more turbulent episodes, I remember that I used to have someone constantly giving me the advice that I should just surrender to the things that come with life and at the end of the day, I would be more happy because of it. I would often argue that in that surrender, we lose out on the potential of fulfilling not just what we could be, but who we could be. I could not live that life so full of regretful "what if's". However as time passed, I realised there maybe there was some merit to the surrender; and in that wisdom, a compromise between the two ideals became what has kept me going in these recent time.

I surrender to the idea that I would probably never experience a moment of peace in my lifetime. I surrender to the experiences that have taught me to be a soldier, a fighter. I surrender to the reality that I perceive in which all moments are part of a seemingly endless war. I surrender to the possibility that I have no hope and I am already dead.

So I keep fighting. I fight because I realise it is what I was bred to do. I fight because I realise I shouldn't have to hate the conflicts that I endure every moment. I fight because very few people are willing to do so. I fight because at the end of the day, the collective small victories are worth grinning for than a lifetime of regrets.

Yeah, so I'm a walking balance of contradictions. I surrender because it lets me fight better and I fight because it's the closest I can come to finding some measure of satisfaction and peace in my life. Not many people can understand it. In fact, I don't think anyone I know in my life actually gets why I do what I do (except for Mel who isn't considered as "anyone" in my life), which is probably why I don't have friends. I know it's not a particularly ideal nor is it mentally healthy for me to keep doing so, but until I can find another beneficial compromise that gets me a social life, I am probably going to remain the forced hermit.

Strangely enough, I'm alright with that at this point. It really doesn't bother me to know that no one is willing take my hand and let me show them a whole different world to the one they know. Then again, maybe it's because I'm not at one of my extreme moods. You know I'll be screaming a whole different tune in one of "those" episodes. For now though, let's just savour the lull. Rarity after all breeds pricelessness.

Up until recently, when you had the urge to tell people where you were located, you could use Foursquare. And then, Facebook Places was launched…and now the competition is on.

Personally, I have never had the desire to use the location-sharing services, but millions of people apparently do. So what service do you use when you check in?

Sepanjang Ramadan ini saya mengunjungi masjid-masjid dan surau-surau di sekitar DUN Seri Setia untuk buka puasa, solat Maghrib, solat Isyak serta solat Tarawikh.

DYMM Sultan Selangor sendiri mencemar duli ke DUN Seri Setia dengan Majlis Berbuka Puasa Bersama Rakyat dan Penyampaian Sumbangan Hari Raya di Masjid Tengku Kelana Putera, Kelana Jaya minggu lepas. YAB Tan Sri Dato’ Seri Abdul Khalid Ibrahim bersama exco, YB Azmin Ali dan YB Gwo-Burne Loh turut hadir sama.

Selain itu saya juga telah ke Masjid Kg. Lindungan untuk berbuka puasa dan menyampaikan Sumbangan Ramadan untuk surau-surau dan Masjid Kg. Lindungan.

Saya juga telah mengunjung Pasar Ramadan di PJS 8 Bandar Sunway bersama-sama Ahli Majlis MBPJ, Sdr Halimey Abu Bakar. Kami menyampaikan akhbar Selangor Kini dan risalah Suara Seri Setia manakala Sdr Halimey menyampaikan sumbangan kurma untuk peniaga.

Selepas berbuka puasa dan solat Maghrib di Masjid Taman Dato’ Hormat, saya solat Isyak dan solat Tarawikh di Masjid al-Husna. Ustaz Nik Radhi Nik Mat menyampaikan tazkirah manakala di akhir acara saya telah menyampaikan sumbangan Ramadan kepada surau-surau dan Masjid al-Husna.

Program akan diteruskan lagi di sekitar DUN Seri Setia hingga ke akhir Ramadan. Jadual terkini akan dimaklumkan di laman web ini.

Malaysia: Malaysians have been waiting for iPhone 4 from local telcos, Maxis and DiGi, for months but still no sign of release date. Here are the reasons why Malaysians want to buy iPhone 4 from the neighbor country, Singapore.

1. iPhone 4 is not available yet in Malaysia

It is now 24th August, a month since both Maxis and DiGi announced their iPhone 4 register of interest pages, Malaysians are still waiting for their iPhone 4.

Maxis teased us that “iPhone 4 is coming very soon” in early August. But still no words about release date.

2. You can buy Singapore iPhone 4 online

Singapore Apple Online Store is selling unlocked, contract free iPhone 4 on its website. Malaysians could ask their relatives or friends in Singapore to help to order iPhone 4 online. Waiting period is 2-3 weeks.

3. Singapore iPhone 4 is CHEAP!

Even IF Malaysia iPhone 4 has been released, you might also want to consider buying a Singapore iPhone 4, because it is the 2nd cheapest iPhone 4 in the World (Hong Kong iPhone 4 is the cheapest)

See the image above.

Singapore iPhone 4 16GB is SGD$888 (around RM2050); iPhone 4 32GB is SGD$1048 (around RM2418). As comparison, the Maxis iPhone-3GS-not-4 32GB without contract is RM2990.

My two cents

Ever since Maxis and DiGi announced to offer iPhone 4, I keep getting questions about the iPhone 4 release date. Too bad, I have no little bird inside the telcos to leak any info.

Here I predict that Malaysians will get iPhone 4 in September 2010.

If Maxis and DiGi do NOT offer iPhone 4 in September, they might lose many customers: some buy iPhone 4 in Singapore; others can’t wait and switch to Android smartphones.

Don’t you agree?

kali ni aku nak coretkan sesuatu tanpa gambar yang banyak. seperti yang kalian sedia maklum aku baru pulang ke islamabad hari jumaat malam yang lepas. justeru aku sempat untuk berterawih bersama rakan-rakan warga malaysia di rumah malaysia pada sabtu dan ahad malam. entah kenapa hari ini aku rasa seperti mahu berterawih di masjid faisal pula. masjid yang menjadi tempat aku solat jumaat setiap minggu.

masjid faisal adalah masjid terbesar di islamabad. rekabentuknya umpama kubah atau khemah arab berwarna putih. masjid ini didermakan oleh raja faisal arab saudi kepada kerajaan pakistan, sebab itulah namanya masjid faisal. rekebentuk masjid ini memang tak pernah aku lihat sebelum ini. sungguh indah, lebih indah disirami lampu limpah di waktu malam. jika anda bernasib baik anda dapat bergambar dengan masjid faisal yang dilatari pokok-pokok bunga mawar merah dan putih pada musim bunga. setakat ini aku masih tidak bernasib baik lagi. terlupa gamaknya untuk bergambar di masjid faisal semasa musim bunga yang lepas.

pemandu datang mengambil aku pada jam 8.30 malam. isyak di masjid faisal ialah pada pukul 8.45 malam. sesampainya aku di sana, aku letakkan selipar crocs kelabu di rak kasut. aku dapati pintu hadapan masjid ditutup. terpaksa pula menapak ke pintu utama di belakang. ramai kanak-kanak kelihatan bermain-main di luar masjid. manakan tidak, terdapat papan tanda yang melarang kanak-kanak memasuki ruang utama masjid sewaktu solat dilakukan. untuk pengetahuan anda, masjid ini hanya akan dibuka ketika waktu solat sahaja. aku ingat lagi semasa musim sejuk yang lepas, selepas solat maghrib, aku berkira-kira untuk membaca al-quran sementara menunggu azan isyak. sekali pengawal masjid menyapaku dan mengarahkan aku keluar dari ruang solat utama. aku tergamam tapi terpaksa akur demi keselamatan masjid.

kali ini di dalam bulan ramadhan aku perhatikan disediakan bekas-bekas air minuman di dalam dan di luar masjid. aku tidak berani nak meminumnya kerana aku tahu ianya adalah air paip sahaja. perut kita warga malaysia rasanya tidak tahan dengan air paip sebegitu. jangan mengundang padah sakit perut dengan meminumnya secara bersahaja nanti ya. masjid faisal mempunyai sistem penghawa dingin dan kipas besar di atas lantai. entah kenapa aku dapat rasakan yang penghawa dinginnya tidak dapat berfungsi dengan sempurna dan acapkali gagal untuk menyejukkan hawa di dalam ruang solat masjid utama ini. di dalam masjid juga terdapat kawasan pancuran air pancut. tapi tidak pula aku pernah lihat pihak masjid memasangnya. mungkin takut karpet basah agaknya.

aku dah berwuduk di rumah tadi jadi terus sahaja melangkahkan kaki ke ruang solat utama. azan baru sahaja bergema menandakan masuknya waktu solat isyak. tak sampai 10 minit iqamat bergema di ruang solat utama. dah lama rupanya aku tak singgah di masjid faisal pada waktu malam. terdapat lampu chandelier yang sungguh besar berbentuk bulat tersergam indah di tengah-tengah siling ruang solat utama masjid. sungguh indah, tidak dapat diungkap dengan kata-kata. semua tubuh yang melalui ruang solat utama untuk je barisan saf pasti akan terpana tatkala melihat keindahan chandelier raksasa tersebut. nantilah aku letakkan gambar chandelier tersebut ya.

aku bergegas ke barisan saf untuk menyertai jemaah pakistani yang lain bersolat isyak. aku perhatikan tidak terdapat warga asing yang lain selain aku. beginilah adat di negara orang, kita akan digelar dengan orang asing. aku berbaju melayu hijau dan berseluar jeans. macam biasa banyak mata-mata yang memandang ke arah aku tadi. seolah-olah aku berjalan dengan tapak kaki emas lagaknya. biarkan mereka nak memandang. aku sememangnya ajnabi (asing) di sini ya. ini baru berbaju melayu hijau, belum lagi berbaju melayu merah. pasti terjegil mata mereka sekiranya aku berbaju melayu merah, bersongkok tinggi dipakai senget dan berkain pelikat mangga langkawi nanti.

nasib baik aku tidak berkain pelikat. pasti akan jadi tumpuan di masjid faisal nanti. aku bergegas ke saf no 3 dan bersedia untuk mengangkat takbir. alunan suara imam bergema mengalunkan surah al-fatihah. merdu sungguh suara imam malam ini. aku seperti mahu menangsi mendengar suara imam membaca surah ulung ini. kadang-kadang kalau kita faham kandungan surah di dalam al-quran memang kita akan lebih rasa terkesan lantas mengalirkan airmata. banyak sungguh pesanan dan hikmat surah-surah di dalam al-quran. hanya kita yang tidak memahaminya sahaja yang rugi. alangkah untungnya kalau aku dapat fasih berbahasa arab, pasti aku tidak akan ada masalah untuk memahami surah-surah lain kan.

hampir kesemua jemaah pakistani yang hadir tadi berpakaian kebangsaan mereka yakni salwar khameez. mereka dan salwar khameez memang tidak dapat dipisahkan. namun begitu ada juga yang berseluar jeans dan berkemeja. ada geng rupanya. hehe. selesai solat isyak, kami menunaikan solat sunat. aku menunaikan solat sunat 2 rakaat. aku perhatikan kali ini jemaah pakistani juga bersolat sunat 2 rakaat sahaja. tidak seperti solat sunat selepas solat fardhu yang lain yang kadang-kadang boleh mencecah sehingga 12 rakaat, 2 raakat setiap satunya. selepas solat sunat ada bayan (tazkirah). sekali lagi aku cuba menangkap apa yang cuba disampaikan oleh imam di dalam bayannya. macam biasa aku akan gagal buat kesekian kalinya. apa yang aku buat bila tak faham dengan urdu mereka ? aku mengambil gambr chandelier dan merakamkan video bayan dah gerak-geri jemaah pakistan di dalam ruang solat utama masjid. kalau asyik meongkat dagu cuba memahamkan bahasa urdu mereka, maunyer tertidur aku nanti.

secara keseluruhannya solat terawih di sini adalah sama dengan solat terawih di malaysia. cumanya di masjid-masjid di pakistan tidak adalah majlis berbuka besar-besaran (ditaja oleh syarikat mahupun individu seperti di masjid saya di taman melawati) dan majlis moreh selepas solat terawih di malaysia. sila jangan mengharap untuk meneguk air sirap bandung cincau mahupun merasa bubur kacang hijau selepas solat terawih di sini ya. hehe. owh! sirap bandung atau soda gembira, di manakah kau menghilang di celah2 awan biru di islamabad?

di sini juga kawalan keselamatan agak ketat. di mana-mana sahaja terutamanya di kawasan masjid, samada di ruang letak kereta, di luar ruang masjid utama mahupun di dalam ruang solat utama terdapat polis berkeliaran memerhatikan jemaah. mereka sudah fobia dengan insiden pengeboman yang semakin menjadi-jadi di masjid-masjid di pakistan. mereka tiada pilihan lain. kita warga asing pula kadang-kala terasa rimas dan tidak aman dengan situasi sebegini. sedikit pesanan untuk warga malaysia di malaysia, hargailah keamanan yang ada. kerana jika keamanan itu hilang, anda akan meratapinya, sungguhpun anda tahu ianya tidak akan kembali lagi. di sini jika nak masuk ke ruang solat pun akan diperiksa melalui scanner dan ada pemeriksaan badan secara menyeluruh oleh polis di depan pintu. tidak pernah terfikir oleh aku perkara sebegini sebelum menjejakkan kaki ke bumi asing islamabad ini.

semasa solat terawih bau yang tidak menyenangkan juga agak berkurangan di dalam ruang solat utama. tidak seperti ketika solat jumaat. kadang-kadang aku rasa terganggu juga dengan bau badan mereka. bau tersebut juga seolah-olah telah melekat ke karpet-karpet biru di dalam masjid. selama ini puas juga aku menggunakan wangian  hugo boss acapkali singgah ke masjid ini. namun tadi alhamdulillah aku dapat fokus kepada ibadat terawih tanpa gangguan. mungkin kerana jemaah tidak ramai yakni sepanjang 4 saf sahaja. mungkin juga sebab kipas yang terpasang dengan kuat dan melampiaskan bau-bau badan mereka ke ruang lingkup masjid yang besar. mungkin juga kan.

di sini juga dilakukan solat terawih sebanyak 20 rakaat. imam akan mengalunkan ayat-ayat suci al-quran yang indah. sedap didengar di halwa telinga. terus terang aku katakan yang aku memang terpesona dengan bacaan imam tadi. aku akan bersolat terawih lagi di sini nanti. mungkin akan berselang-seli dengan solat terawih di rumah malaysia. esok kenalan baru akan sampai di islamabad. mungkin aku akan mengajak mereka untuk berbuka puasa dan berterawih di rumah malaysia sahaja. inilah masanya memperkenalkan mereka kepada warga malaysia di islamabad.

sabar ya imam muda, aku akan kembali ke ruang legar masjid untuk solat terawih lagi nanti !

Guiyu in China’s Guangdong Province is the world’s largest electronic waste site, with an estimated 80% of its 150,000 population (+200k migrant workers) working in the e-waste processing business, often with primitive and hazardous methods – which has led to severe pollution and health problems to the township.

Malaysia: Don’t you hungry for fast Internet speed? Unifi 20Mbps broadband is nothing if compared to the 1Gbps broadband service launched by Vasseti Datatech.

The 1Gbps broadband is available at three condominiums in the city — Capital Square in Kuala Lumpur, The Loft in Bangsar and the Suasana Sentral Condominium in KL Sentral. The 1 Gbps broadband will be offered at RM199 per month and does not include any data cap.

1Gbps broadband at only RM199 per month! That’s paying the same money as Unifi VIP10 package but you get 10x faster broadband!

Malaysia average broadband speed is only 2.31 Mbps.

How fast is 1Gbps?

By theory, 1Gbps broadband connection allows you to download 128MB per second, download full disc of DVD video (4.7GB) in 37.6 seconds, fill up your 1TB hard disk in 2 hours and 12 minutes! 1Gbps is 10x faster than your 100Mbps home network!

My two cents

Frankly, I never heard about the Vasseti company. It is not a major ISP in Malaysia. I am doubtful. How trustworthy is the company and their services?

If the service is real.. Hey, any room for rent in the 3 condominiums mentioned? I wanna move in there NOW!

What’s your Internet connection speed now? I am on 1Mbps (hell, that’s 1000x slower than 1Gbps!)

Update: Malaysia businessman Tan Sri Syed Yusof Syed Nasir has bought a 30% stake in Vasseti Bhd. (hat tip: @appsmy)

Have come heard of the Cherokee Indian youth Passage of rite?

 When he reach of age his father will take him into  the forest, blindfolds him and leaves him alone to sit on a stump.  He is  required to linger on a stump the entire night and must not remove the  blindfold until the morning sun rays shines through it.  One rule he has to abide that he must not cry out for help.     

Once he survives the  night, he is a MAN.

 He cannot even talk to the other boys of this  experience, as each lad must reach manhood on his  own.

 During his trial in the night he is naturally petrified as he can hear all sorts of  noises. Wild beasts must surely be nearby. Maybe even some human might do him harm. Night winds blew the grass and earth, and even shook his stump, but he sat stoically, never removing the blindfold. This is the only way he could  become a man!

After a terrifying night, the sun came out in the morning and he removed his  blindfold.

To his surprise he  discovered his father sitting on the stump next to him all night.  Watching and protecting his son from harm the entire duration of his trial.

In life we, too, are never alone.   

Even when we don’t realize it, God is always looking after  us, sitting on the stump  beside us.  When trouble comes, all  we have to do is reach out to Him.

RAID, is Redundant Array Indenpent Disk, what is RAID 0?

For RAID 0, is a technology which split the data evenly across 2 or more hard drive (striped), with no parity information for redundancy. RAID 0 is not an original RAID levels and it provides no data redundancy.In RAID 0, minimum hard disk will be 2.

Advantage:
To create a larger virtual hard drive with a lot of smaller physical hard drive. Meaning that if the market current largest hard disk size is 2 Tera Bytes, while the server can shows 20 tera bytes hard as a single hard disk, but originally is combine of 20’s 2 tera bytes physical hard drive.

Unfortunately, if you using different size of hard drive, only minimum hard drive space will be apply. Example, you using 1 Tera hard drive striped with another 2 tera hard drive, the final hard disk space will be 2 tera only.

Other then this, according to the theory, RAID 0 also improve performance. How to RAID 0 increase performance?

As we can see on above diagram, the data are split to different hard drive. The minimum hard drive is 2. Lets imagine if a file with 1000MB, write to 1 hard drive require 10minute, with using RAID 0, imagine there are 4 physical hard drive, now require 2.5minute to write this 1000MB file into the hard drive.

Same to reading the file or copying the files.

Disadvantage:

No data redundancy, since the data are evenly split between all the hard drive, once of the hard disk fail, will bring all your data to hell.

Suggestion:

Some said purchase another external hard drive, and schedule a weekly or daily backup of the data to the external drive.

It happen so quick that no one has the time to get ready for this!

Last weekend, I went to Kuchning to find some dealer on post card printing and signboard to be made. Saturday morning, with all kind of excitement, I went back Sibu by boat, I was surprise to see the river level when the boat entering Sibu coast.

The whole Sibu is like an underwater World now. Roundabout became an island, you wouldn’t know where is the corner, unless you drive around daily to know the routine.

I am, finally stucked at home again. The last time I encounter flood in Sibu was 2007, after that I did not go back that frequent, and now I thought of permanently staying in Sibu, it happen again!

Well, like usual, people started to complaint about government this and government that… I hope the newly elected MP of Sibu can handle those complaints, as it is now become he who did not work but not the previous one Get some education you moron Sibuan, stop dumping and logging to make a living…

DAP mengutuk dengan sekeras-kerasnya kejadian yang berlaku ke atas sebuah surau di Taman Pulai Impian Seremban yang disimbah cat merah pagi ini. Mengikut Pengerusi DAP Negeri Sembilan dan Ahli Parlimen Rasah Anthony Loke, yang melawat surau tersebut, terdapat beberapa cebisan botol arak yang mengandungi cat merah di kawasan tersebut.

Kejadian tersebut bukan sahaja tidak bertanggungjawab dan jahat tetapi juga adalah suatu perbuatan khianat yang tidak boleh diterima dalam sebuah masyarakat demokrasi berpelembagaan, bertamadun dan madani. Pihak yang bertanggungjawab mungkin rasa provokasi ini akan lebih berkesan dalam bulan Ramadan yang mulia ini.

DAP harap polis boleh bertindak cepat menangkap mereka yang terbabit agar boleh dibawa ke muka pengadilan dengan segera. Saya meminta semua rakyat Malaysia berdoa untuk keamanan dan menghindar daripada budaya kebencian dan keganasan yang tentunya akan menggugat harmoni dan perpaduan negara.

阿爸给了些意见和看法

阿爸说双双之所以会撒泼
很可能是因为她过去的要求经常被满足
就是每当她想要某样东西
或想要做某件事
我们都曾经很轻易的答应
就算不轻易的答应
可是经过她再三要求或撒娇我们就妥协了
而她的这个行为只针对几个经常妥协于她的人

回头想想，确是如此

双双撒泼的对象：双喜爸、姑妈、老师

双喜爸虽然对孩子很严厉
有时甚至可以说是很凶
但是却真的很宠孩子
虽然双双经常要求的东西会被爸爸拒绝
但是骂过之后还是会得到的
因为爸爸心软
经常在发脾气之后因为愧疚而弥补

姑妈对小朋友们……这个不必说的了
不是很宠而是更宠
没有孩子提不出的
只有她办不到的
飞天摘月亮姑妈就算不是体重的问题也办不到的了
但是她可以给她们买个月亮形状的壁灯

老师对学生施行的是爱的教育
没有必要不动刀枪藤条
学生的要求有学校的规矩约束
这个小朋友们知道也不会执拗
上回双双要求跟着到小提琴班的事件
因为老师之前曾经想着偶尔为之让双双去过
以至于双双觉得自己的要求必定能被满足
所以当老师不答应她就撒泼了

当然不是每个孩子都会像双双那样
双双是个有心机的小朋友
这个在她两岁的时候已经能够从眼神里看到她对事情的琢磨
于是身边那一个人对她怎样她知道怎样利用

比如爸爸虽然很生气很凶的教训她一番
但是最后爸爸会内疚会妥协
姑妈，有求必应
老师，多撒娇也能成事

双双不曾在我的面前这样撒泼过
原因我从不随便答应她们的要求
比如逛街的时候看见某些东西要求买给她们
我的回应很多时候是：No, you have enough.
就算是我生气了骂了过后也不会像双喜爸那样软声劝解
（当然对待处理喜喜的情绪问题又不一样）

所以双双撒泼很有大人们自食其果的缘由
如果不是因为之前的纵容
就不会有之后的放纵

阿爸的建议：冷处理
昨天我们也误打误撞做对了
双双被姑妈带回家的时候我们没有打也没有骂
让她自己在房里呜咽
过后她冷静下来自己出来和爸爸说这件事
那时双喜爸才慢慢的和她说

之后我和双喜爸都知道姑妈是没有遇过双双这样的态度
应该是很强硬的拒绝或责骂
双双就反弹了
其实按照我们遇见双双这样强求而发脾气撒泼的时候
我们都是冷处理
就是不当她的脾气一回事
她就是要爸爸生气骂她
骂了之后爸爸就会愧疚就会妥协
这是她的认知

姑妈是第一次遇见这样的情形啊
乱了

在我的面前双双没有撒泼的时候
因为我根本就不吃她那套
只要没有经常的娇宠
在大庭广众下赖死踢腿的事情就不会发生

昨天双双的行为
现在想来
我不想说是她的错
我只能说是大人们的错
可是大人们会承认这是我们造成的吗？

如果觉得是双双不听话
那为什么在妈妈外婆外公面前又不如此呢？
