			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Colleagues and I were talking about kids entering competitions and contests, when I brought up saying I read somewhere saying it might not be a good thing to enter our kids, because if they win, it might make them over confident, while if they lose, it might affect their self confidence&#8230; A colleague didn&#8217;t agree, but said that his <a href="http://www.awardsforanything.com/s-31-soccer.aspx">soccer trophies</a> from school competitions are his precious display in his room, they didn&#8217;t affect him in anyhow, but he felt proud of his childhood seeing them&#8230;</p>
<p>What&#8217;s your take in this?</p>

We are SO into bags, even Princess#2 at the age of 2+!</p>
<p>Princess#1, on the other hand, has already started planning what kind of bags she would like to have when she enters Primary 1 next year, occasionally pointing out to different type of bags on <a href="http://www.rockymountaintrail.com/outdoor/JanSport/">Jansport Bookbag</a>, wondering if it would be too big or too small&#8230; I wonder how many school bags would she want&#8230; hehehe&#8230;</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Princess#1 is enjoying her piano lessons so much, and improving well given the short period of time she has been at it&#8230; At the same time, it&#8217;s getting Princess#2 interested too, occasionally banging on the piano and singing along to her sister&#8230;</p>
<p>I wonder what will Princess#2 request to learn in a few years time, will it still be piano, <a href="http://www.musiciansfriend.com/guitars/b3-guitars">B3 Guitars</a>, drums, or even violin? Somehow, I have a gut feeling that it wouldn&#8217;t be piano&#8230; Lets wait and see&#8230; <img src='http://www.shannonchong.com/myblog/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_smile.gif' alt=':)' class='wp-smiley' /> </p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Princess#1 had been asking for a pet dog for a long time&#8230;<br />
We got her pet fishes instead *wink*&#8230;</p>
<p>I don&#8217;t think she&#8217;s capable of taking care of a dog by herself, what more when she would run away when a <a href="http://www.dogkennels.com/dog-kennels/dog-runs/6996+6997+7006.cfm">dog runs</a> towards her&#8230; She wants to play with them, but she&#8217;s afraid of them&#8230; So tell me, HOW can she have a pet dog?</p>
<p>She couldn&#8217;t even get used to my in-laws&#8217; pet dog Odie&#8230;<br />
So no, not until she&#8217;s ready to take on the responsibility all by herself, she is NOT having a dog&#8230;</p>

<p>Triggered a thought, have you ever felt the same when you were younger?<br />
Have you wondered if you were adopted?</p>
<p>I had to admit, I did&#8230;<br />
Blame it on TV, but I did ask myself (especially when I was scolded) if I am even their own&#8230; But as I grew up, I realised how silly the thought were, and felt guilty for even wondering it&#8230; Now, I hope my kids would never had a doubt&#8230;</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Inlaws brought back a door gift the other day, and gave it to Princess#1&#8230; She was so excited playing with it nonstop&#8230; What was it?</p>
<p>It was a key chain with a laser device attached&#8230; It was like some <a href="http://www.burnstools.com/manufacturer/PLS_Pacific_Laser_Systems.html">pls laser</a> thingamajig or something, that is able to shoot laser beam across the room&#8230; It was probably for those that does a lot of presentation, and I&#8217;d have to agree, it would probably come in handy, but I had to keep reminding her not to shoot the laser into her sister&#8217;s eyes! PFT!!!</p>

<p>Actually, truthfully, even if I want to get a present for him, I wouldn&#8217;t know what to get&#8230; After 10 years, there&#8217;s just so many things that you can get as a present and not be repeated, right? I even had a friend asking me for ideas for his <a href="http://www.redenvelope.com/wife-anniversary-gifts-RWAGS">first anniversary with wife gifts</a>&#8230; FIRST and he was asking for ideas, what more TENTH!! <img src='http://www.shannonchong.com/myblog/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_razz.gif' alt=':P' class='wp-smiley' /> </p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Am I in the correct line of work?<br />
I know it&#8217;s vast, and there are specialisations, but I just felt that I can&#8217;t even compete with others in my specialisations&#8230; Like I can&#8217;t even be sure what <a href="http://www.sterkly.com/">software bundle</a> is, until I check it online&#8230; I find myself always questioning what I feel, is that right or not&#8230;</p>
<p>Maybe it&#8217;s the self esteem, but sometimes I feel like I&#8217;m not suitable doing what I&#8217;m doing&#8230; Am I?</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>I saw this photo posted on FB today, about a group of girls, with one using too much <a href="http://www.thetanningstore.com/">sunless spray tan</a>, making her look so ridiculously eye-staring funny&#8230;</p>
<p>I don&#8217;t get it, is being tan really that nice? (I know, beauty is in the eye of the beholder)&#8230;<br />
But some people just go overboard and spoil the beauty that they initially thought it was&#8230;</p>
<p>I hope my princesses won&#8217;t go down that path when they grow up&#8230;</p>
