A Housewife's Wage

Hi ngmammy, CEO of Ng Company
(CEO = Completely Exhausted Officer!!)

While in London, I 'd read a newspaper article, concluding that a Full Time Housewife should be given an Annual Salary of around Sterling Pounds of 50,000!!

(My wife was a Registered Nurse in a public hospital at the time - 2001, earning a Basic Salary of Sterling Pounds about 15,000 + about 2,000 London Weighting)

The Full Time Housewife Pay had taken into considerations of the following Roles/Duties that a woman has to perfom/undertake, including but not restricting,

- Social Workers, counselling mainly the never grown up husband;

- Financial Controller, ensuring $1 could buy $2 thing; (and still have some "Secret Money"?)

- Gangster, giving threats to children to ensure they tidy up their rooms, do their homework etc.;

- Cleaner, making sure the toilet, kitchen sink etc. are shinning!!

- Chef, cooking "Nine Dishes" in 1 hour! (And with deserts!)

- Lover, avoiding husband having a "Headache"!

...........

I'm glad that I am a Man - I couldn't handle it if I was a Woman.

Cheers

The Award Goes To

Deal carol, chingyu, Devlin Mum & ngnammy,

Thanks for the Good Guesses.

To me,

Every Single One of You is a Winner,

so Each One of You deserves an Award.

(Sound Familiar - the 10 Gold Songs Award by RTHK, www.rthk.org.hk?)

The Quick Thinking Award - Carol
You came up with TWO guesses in such a short time, Great Work!

The Straight to the Point Award - chingyu
No Fuss - Straight to the point- 2 words - Impressive.

The Most Humourous Award - Devlin Mum
Did you figure out the anwser while you're mmm.. in. ...... or.....mmmm just finished Toilet?
Great Stomach....well, sorry, I mean, Great Humour!

The Grand Award - ngmammy
You've got it!!!!

Yes. It was as you've guessed,

"The environment is quiet and their Mind most relax....."

Professor Winston pointing out it is essential for one to be in a Tranquil Environment, making one competely relax, then one would make New Invention/Discovery.

Professor Winston then gave two examples.

Newton was lying lazily on the grass of an Orchid, when an apple felt down from the tree.

Newton then discovered the "Force of Gravity".

And Garbelio (could be Galileo Galieli, according to Devlin Mum) was in a church, and after watching a church official swinging a chain holding a candle, he then made a pendulum copying the movement of the swinging chain, and eventually made a Clock.

It is very True that,

"Being Alone and Being in a Tranqulity"

will enable us to find ALL the answers in Life.

I personally believe when Humans was made, ALL answers were already placed INSIDE us.

Only when we have "Alone" Moment;
Only when we are "Completely Relax";
will all these Answers Re-surface in our Mind once again.

(And I had this Wonderful Once-in-a-Lifetime Experience during my 4 1/2 year stay in the Exceptional Peaceful NZ, enabling me to have found (I could be wrong) Most Answers in Life)

The programme also suggested scientists have found a way to Record "When" (i.e the EXACT Moment) a Unique Thought (i.e. Invention/Discovery) Actually taking place in the Mind.

Does any parent would like to guess how scientists Record such Unique Moment?

Cheers
Fate

A Word of Caution

Dear Parents

Just visited www.on.cc .

The "Orietanl Daily" (Net Version) reporting the FIRST case of Fish Liver Oil Tablet Overdose occured in HK back in 2004.

For the Previous Three Years, a mother had been giving her then 4-year-old & 3-year-old daugther EACH 13 Tables a time, TWO times a day (=26 Tables a day), WRONGLY believing such EXCESSIVE doseage could ease her daugthers' Asthma probelm.

The Livers of both girls were seriously damaged (became "Hard") and one of which even needed to be removed and replaced.

Just remember,

Follow the Advice/Prescription.
NEVER OVERDO ANYTHING.

How to record the exact moment?
Is it by writing down the date, time and the thought?
I really have no clue.

"Aha" Moment

Good Try, carol and Almost Have Tried ngmammy,

The scientists are convinced that when an Unique Moment (i.e. the Invention/Discovery) comes, it can be "Seen".

And they've concluded this Unique Moment is acutally related to the Moment people Finding Solution to a Problem,

Unique Moment = Problem Solved Moment

naming this Problem Solved Moment as "Aha Moment".

The scientists then try to Measure/Record the "Aha Moment" by putting all these wires with plastic ends onto the volunteers' heads, and then connecting the other end of wires to a computer, monitoring their Brain Wave Activity.

A picture with thousands black spots was then shown to volunteers, asking them if they could see, for example, a dog somewhere in the numerous dots.

The Moment the volunteer Found the dog, the monitor immediately showed a SUDDEN SURGE of the Brain Wave, lasting about 1/5 of a second - that's the "Aha Moment' - the Moment the Problem is solved, the Moment the dog is found!!

To me, this could mean all those puzzling pictures we've seen all over the years, like finding a face from sand, finding a cat from a dog's face, comparing curves with straight lines etc. had indeed done us some good - challenging our Brains!!

In fact, it's been really Challenging for me, trying to explain to you all what I'd seen in the First episode, and what I've learnt from it.

And I sincerely hope every single one of you have also learnt something from this programme.

Like everything else in Life, there has to be An Ending to this Post. In additon to the six "tion" I 'd mentioned at the beginning of this Post, I'd like to include two more "tion",

I've Deep Appreciation for all your Fantstic Participation.

Before I go, I've something for those missed the First Episode in Australia and those completely missing out in HK (and other countries?).

Does any parent would like to guess what I've got for them?

Cheers
Fate

Thank You too

Hi ngmammy

I would like to thank you (and other participating parents) too for your Contribution, making this post more interesting and therefore attract more Attention.

Life is Depressing enough on some occassions, so every parent deserves to do whatever reasonable to keep themselves Happy and Uplifting, including but not restricting to, for Mums, Shopping; for Dads, Internet - and won't Stop until Drop! (Because of the Huge Satisfaction!!)

Back to the Question again,

Does any parent would like to guess what I've for the parents missing out the First Episode or the Entire Series?

Cheers
Fate

Hi Fate,

Your question is getting harder and harder, haha.

um.. well, I guess, you will give us a link like the "Mortgage Meltdown" (US Sub Prime Crisis). Isn't it? I'd like to watch it.

Thanks so much for your sharing here. I really appreciate your generosity in spending time explaining detailedly about the episode. Yes, "every parent deserves to do whatever reasonable to keep themselves Happy". Viewing your post did give me happiness and arouse my thinking in different aspects, life, finance, etc.

Cheers,
Carol

Reveal Tomorrow

Hi Carol

The Question is getting harder and harder simply because,

You lot are getting Smarter and Smarter!

Like many other parents in BK, you're a Happy Person in nature. I can't Force, Make or Change you to be Happy - one has to have this "Happniess" from Within.

I remember one of Sam Hui's old songs about Happiness. It went like,

"Happiness is like reading a good book.........."

Here in Sunshine Coast, we had another tragic accident on Sunday. An under age (15-year-old) Drunk and Speeding driver crashed his car, causing death to a teenage passenger NOT wearing seat belt, and serious injuries to another teenage passenger. (www.thedaily.com.au)

I could only wish more Teenagers understand the Wisdom of,

"Being Alone does NOT mean Lonely

"Happiness is NOT proportional to the number of people around you;

"Those can have Happiness from the Smallest thing is almost certain to have Long Lasting True Happiness"

It's obvious you're a Happy Person, and therefore so will your child. And I therefore have to say a BIG "Thank You" to you to your Great Contribution to the Community, because A Happy Child is to grow up as a Happy Teenager and A Happy Adult, and they're almost certain NOT to be a Trouble Maker or Criminal!!

It is all because,

"A Loved person will Love others;" and

"A Happy person will make others Happy"

You're so, so close to the answer.

I will disclose what I've for the Eager to Learn but Missing Out parents tomorrow.

Have Another Happy Day.

Cheers
Fate

A Surprise for Missing Out Parents

Hi Carol,

Yes, I've a good news (well, to some I suppose) for Missing Out Parents.

Yes, I've a link for them.

But, this time is different.

Channel ABC kindly allows FREE viewing for the "Mortgage Meltdown" (US Subprime Crisis), but NOT for this "Human Mind" series.

One has to pay for it - and I did.

I paid over the net on Sunday,

- A$ 29.95 for the DVD (with English Subtitles); and

- A$7.95 for Insured Courier within Ausralia.

(I'm supposed to receive it in 3 Business Days in Theory. But in Real Life, I'll be Lucky to get it in 5 Business Days!!

)

ABC should have advised Viewers the programme would be available for purchase BEFORE showing the First episode, as I'd been writing like mad, busy in dropping down the key points while watching the 2nd and 3rd episode!!

(This would have allowed me to relax more and concentrate more in Viewing rather than Writing like a secretary!)

I ASSURE all parents,

I have NO Actual or Potentail Conflict of Interests,

meaning - I'll NOT benefit, in any way, when any one of you buying the DVD - I'm NOT a Sales!!

One word of Caution though, you better make an online enquiry First, as Australia is in "Region 4 in DVD Zone", whereas HK is in "Zone 3".

Just to make sure you lot can view the programme in your DVD Player!

Ops......almost forgot the most important bit,

Please visit the website, www.abcshop.com.au;

Put "Human Mind" in "

roduct Search"on the Top Right, then click "GO";

The FIRST of the Search Result is the one;

Click on the title, "The Human Mind", it will tell you more about the programme. And towards the end of the description, there is a line "Click here for World DVD Standards" - do click for more information.

I think I've kept my Mind working quite Hard for the last few weeks - and so are yours!!

It's been a Wonderful Experience in writing this post!
And it's Well Worthy it!

As the 2nd episode has demonstrated with a pair of twin tenagers, as long as we keep ourselves in a Good Mood, we will be HAPPY!!!

It's ALL MIND THING!!

It's ALL UP TO YOU - to be Happy or Unhappy.

So, please Make Yourself and your Family Happy!!

Bye for now. And Have A Happy Happy Weekend!!

Cheers
Fate

SURPRISES

Dear All

Life is full of Nasty Surprises, so it's nice to have a Pleasant Surprise every now and then.

I can't Complain - I've TWO Pleasant Surprises today.

Surprise 1

I ordered the DVD on the net on (Sun) 17 Sept .
And received it at 1000 hrs today (Fri) 21 Sept.

Although it stated I should receive it in 3 Business Day, we all know what Westeners mean by "I'll be there in 5 minutes." - REALLY meaning they'll be Late for at least another 15 minutes!!

So, it is a Pleasant Surprise to receive it in 5 Business Day!

Just in time to watch it on Sunday
(Saturday we'll go to the Coolumn Kite Festival)

Surprise 2

You can view the DVD in one of the 3 Languages:

Cantonese, Madarin or English

AND, you can also select one of the 3 Subtitles :

Traditional Chinese (HK)
Traditional Chinese (Taiwan) or
English

Enjoy your Viewing - a total of 150 minutes of it!
And you'll be Pleasantly Surprised!!

(With 3 Episodes.
Episode 1 - Get Smart.
Episode 2 - Personality.
Episode 3 - Making Friends)

I'll watch it with my boys and Boss as they were in bed at the time.

And please feel free to share with me and other parents about your views after viewing it.

Bye for now and take very good care of Your Body and Your Mind.

Cheers
Fate
