The importance of electricity

I taught Theo some words in Chinese that starts with electricity, or dian. There are a lot of words that start with dian in Chinese, for example, fridge, lamp, television, movie, and computer. It's a handy word to know. I also taught him how to say duvet, microwave, pants, socks, and jacket in Chinese. The household items are very useful words to know in Chinese. We say those words everyday and if Theo know them, he will be able to communicate really well. We also made word cards so he can learn the words when he has down time.
Fuzzy is having her university holiday for two weeks so she borrowed some DVDs to watch. We watched Rush Hour 3 last night. However, she is feeling a bit off. Mum will get some flu medicine from the supermarket today, in tablet or drink form. Hopefully, she will get better soon and enjoy her holiday fully.
The person who is going to teach us Vector NTi is not going to come to Ruakura to save money for our company. He may come after July.

Hot air balloon festival

My older cousin has found another girlfriend. Mum said that aunt wrote to her yesterday to say that he's met another girl, her life had gone through some big changes. Her boyfriend, who was in his 30s, died from cancer, and her dad died recently as well. She plays cello in cousin's orchestra. Hopefully, they will spend the rest of their life together and good luck to my dear cousin. Life is full of surprises and you have to treasure every moment.
I read Da Vinci's Code for the second time this weekend, and cleaned up the basin in the bathroom. Fuzzy is having her holiday and she went to swim in Waterworld with MQ.
Richard had been learning Chinese at home, reading an article about martial arts last night. That's quite interesting. I left him to learn the words by himself and occasionally explained what some words meant. Hope I am helpful enough to him.
I have done some more quests in WoW for Luke. He's level 55 now. The hot air balloon show was fantastic, the specialty balloons had their own song: Darth Vadar had Star Wars theme song, the little pirate had The Pirates of Carribean song, and the haunted house had the Ghostbuster song. The fireworks were also very beautiful, with magnificent colours on display.
It's going to be a wet day today.
