2 cents thoughts - time for children or internet

If one recorded down the duration spend with children and duration spend in the internet, which one has more hours ? We all know what is important and which give you temporary pleasure. The difficult part is constant awareness of the importance VS pleasure.

HP touchpad lelong




HP touchpad is having a liquidation sale. As I write this lots of place in US already sold out. Even though it is an end of life product, it has potential to install android OS.
you might want to visit this forum to see the latest status of places to buy in US : Slick deals , Engadget
To purchase from US , you need to setup account in comGateway as US retailer require an US address to deliver it to. Comgateway is like vpost where they store and post it to Singapore.

For Singapore, there is no news yet. Would anticipate lots of people will be hogging the hp Singapore website on Monday.

In Uk, there is no news also. Engadget rumour that it will cost 89 pound.

2 cents thoughts - The battle of feeding


Nowadays toddler so smart and naughty. Need to squeeze brain juice during meal time to feed my 1 year old without presence of toys or TV. She loves to eat fruits, biscuit and water and have strategy that she get it.

Round 1
one hand holding the spoon with food and the other hand with a fork with fruit. While she open her month for the fruit quickly feed her with food - She refuses to open month after a few attempt.

Round 2
Feed with water on the same spoon - she open her month so small that only water can seep through.

Round 3
Put some biscuit / raisin / fruit on the food. To avoid she "addict to the treats", for some serving, I go without them - She scrutinise the spoon before opening the golden month

In the end my battle was lost and need treats every spoonful. There is the last strategy to use but will only use when she is older - to let her go hungy :)

Earn money - Thru website advertising

If your website has lots of traffic, Join as publisher or affiliate such as adsense to earn money
1.The popular deal.com.sg
2.Amazon affiliate UK This link if for UK. There is another one for US
3.chitika
4.commission junction This link if for UK. There is another one for US

I am expecting income from website to be decreased with the increase of people using firefox like myself where my surfing is literally advertisement free.

Joke of the day - Sharing toy

I always teach my children to share. What reason would a 4 year old give by denying sharing her toys with her younger sibling ? "Look at the instruction on the box, child between 0-3 cannot play this toy"

Audio - Pringles speaker

Check out my new ware


This is not just a can of Pringle but with a speaker attached.It comes free in Uk when purchase 3 cans of Pringles.


The speaker come with manual which is only a page. However it is "thick" with translation of different languages. I anticipate more countries would have this promotion. Hopefully Singapore will have too

Advantages:
1. Its free
2. Come with free 3 Duracell batteries ( wonder how pringles make money as Pringles cost £2 each can - I bought at discounted price of £1. total cost £3. 1 batteries almost cost 80p)
3.Amplified sound with responses up to 20kHz
4. The build is solid with metal grill. Inserting into the empty can increase the depth of the sound

Disadvantages:
1.The cell are not rechargeable ( What do expect for free one)
2. Mono speaker.
3.Its bulky with the tall can. Would probably try out on the shorter version of the CAN and putting damping material to experience how different it sound.

My Fiio E7 come to good use with two outputs ; one for this can and another for my headphone speakers
