An excellent education tools : flashcards.

When I did my high school in Australia, I did not know anything about flash card. When I took my class here in the US, I found that a lot of students here love to use flash cards. And I personally find flashcard a very beneficial way to enhance subject memory.

I used flashcards a lot with my child when I started him on learning his alphabets and letters. I started him with bright colors and big alphabets and letters and it was a piece of cake to get his full attention with flashcards.

Kaya & Toast.

I am sitting in a cafe thousand miles away from Floria, USA on a sunny Saturday morning. Internet is one of the amazing inventions of human being. My father in law often says, Google is only second to God !. I agree with him to a certain degree. God bless America ! If not for internet, wireless, web, I don’t think I can connect with all my blog’s readers throughout the world in a keystroke !

My parents’ home does not have internet connection but there is a cafe not far from their home with wireless connection. So here I am typing away my post :).

The cafe that I am writing my post is named “Kaya & Toast” cafe. I forget to bring my digital camera’s USB port so I am taking a copy of kaya and toast picture from the internet.
