Disneyland experience, Chinese style
How do you start describing a place that looks like Disneyland, charges like Disneyland, but is hardly Disneyland? Maybe by saying it’s made in China, the land of fakes. Some Chinese has decided to build not one but TENNNNN of them. They are called Fantawild, mainly sited in second-tier cities. My guess is that the …
Video Game 如何玩?
虽然谈不上狂热,但本人算是资深电玩玩家。为了让小展峰能继承衣钵,我有责任好好栽培他,起码现在教导他,如何玩电玩 (Video Game)。
Two hours of flirting at Westgate Kids Club
A great idea popped up when I heard Westgate in Singapore had newly opened its Kids Club on Level 5, above the outdoor playground. I’d take Pangzi there, trap him for two hours while I hit the mall, before returning in time to pick him up and put him straight to bed. It sounded perfect. Until they stopped …
Swim like a Gillman
Pangzi thought he was going swimming when I brought him to Gillman Barracks one annoying afternoon. “Daddy, what’s Gillman?” he asked. “Erm, a man with gills,” I replied. “Daddy, what’s gills?” “Erm, something to help fishes swim underwater.” “I want!

Transformer 4: 我打哈欠了。。。
Transformer 4 这种大电影好看呗?从开始就打到电影落幕。。。精彩呗? 奇怪的地方是,小展峰竟然不耐烦的打哈欠,似乎手上的 Transformer 玩具比较精彩。。。
How I made him learn cycling in one day
I’ve decided it’s high time Pangzi pays for his own school fees. His talents thus far have been restricted to sweet talking to female classmates and serenading the impressionable teachers – can’t make money out of that. Then I came across a cycling challenge organised by a Singapore bank that dangled a handsome cash prize. That …
自行车 - 趴趴走!
自行车 , 看似简单的玩意。如何让小展峰克服跌倒恐惧症?还得用最原始的方法才行。之后,还得灌输他一个观念:懂得骑在自行车上,未必 “会” 骑自行车。
Edubuntu 黑客之路
为什么我那么折腾让小展峰学习 Edubuntu? 第一免费!第二酷!第三看起来像黑客,似模似样的。。。第四,根据他老爸的经验,一开始用难度高的系统往往学得更快。
Forget beer – go Qingdao for horticulture
I took Pangzi to Qingdao with the sole purpose of letting him try the famous local beer, but got more than I bargained for. You should’ve heard of if not visited the World Expo held in Shanghai a while back, but do you know of the International Horticultural Expo 2014 in Qingdao? Exactly, me neither. Until …
从 YouTube 学画画
身为一个精明的后现代怕输却喊穷的家长,送小孩去绘画班已经不是让他学画画的唯一选择。我选择了 YouTube,绝对符合了在大环境趋势下生存的条件:环保,效率,省时,省事。。。还有,省钱。
