E

Fleming came back with this ridiculously tedious piece of homework today and I really had no choice but to help him with it.

He’s supposed to come up with about 50 words that starts with letter E and write all of them down.

He’s only Primary 1 and does not have that extensive a vocabulary yet, and even I don’t possess such a wealthy store of words either, so I just dug out this little handy Chambers dictionary we bought from the MPH fair last month and typed out the easier ‘E’ words for him.

 

 

Phew, I hope he doesn’t come back with letter F tomorrow…

Make a Spider-Lily flower for your Mom in 5 mins!

Tomorrow is Mother’s Day and I got this lovely ‘bouquet’ of flowers from my 7 year old son.

He ‘taught’ me how to make it, and gosh, its so super easy, takes about 5 mins only and rather fun so I am showing you the steps to do it.

First, get ready these materials: Two pieces of colored paper, stapler, a straw and a
of scissors.

Next, place your hand on a colored paper, draw out the shape of your hand and then cut out the shape of your hand on the paper.

Place the straw on the cut out shape. Fold in the paper as shown and wrap the 'hand' shape around the straw. Keep wrapping until the whole hand is wrapped around the straw and then staple it to secure the shape to the straw.

Now, use a pen or pencil and roll it around the ‘finger’s of your cut-out shape.  This will form as the ‘petal’ of the spider lily.  Keep rolling all the ‘petals’ until you get curled up petals like this.

 

Finally, do up the ‘leaves’.  Just draw out two leaves on green colored paper, cut them out and attach to the straw.

If you want, make several of the same flower and put them together in a ‘vase’ like this! 

   

Happy Mother’s Day! :)

How to add a Facebook LIKE button to your blog!

Social Media is such a cool thing.

And now, we are allowed to place a "LIKE" button on our own blogsites or other websites as well!

I have just fiddled and played with some plug-ins to add:

1. LIKE button at the end of each blog post
2. SHARE on Facebook button at the top of the post
3. Retweet this button beside the Share On Facebook post

If you are interested to add these to your own blog / website, you can check out these links below. Some are a little specific to Blogger though.  Sorry about that, afterall, I use Blogger myself ;)

Blogger Specific
Put a LIKE button on every blogpost on Blogger
Put a share this button on blog posts
Put a RETWEET button on blog posts

Facebook Specific stuffs
Share Bookmarklet - Share ANY webpage with your friends on Facebook
Official and generic Facebook code that embeds the share on any website, not just Blogger
Generic tutorial on Facebook for the "LIKE" button

Extras
Read this for extra info, if you want to customize the button look of the Share button
If you want to allow the reader to share your blog posts on other social websites, follow this tutorial to insert the "ShareThis" button

Another Blogger tutorial for Like button

Drop me a line if you added these social bookmarking plug-ins to your website so I can go click the "LIKE" button there! ;)

Afternote: By the way, the Share count doesnt work until at least 3 users have shared the page. I was wondering about that, because I couldn't figure out why my share count wasn't showing, then I read it on this page. You can google for this using keyword 'Also, the count doesn't display on your page until users share the page three times. '

The weather is stifling hot right now!

热死了!
