Butcher story

Butcher is one of the word that Koko needs to learn for his spelling. Last night, when we are revising the book, I asked him 'Do you know who is butcher?' Apparently, the teacher didn't explain to them the occupation details. So I said 'someone who kill the animal and sell them. Did you see, when Mummy buys meat, someone is there to cut the meat?. That's butcher.' Koko was stunt, and suddenly he cried.

KoKo:  "I don't want the animal to die. It's not good to kill animals. Why they kill the animals?"
He kept on crying and crying. I'm stunt now.

Mummy: Did you eat chicken?.
Koko: Yes. I don't want the animal to die.
Mummy: If nobody sell chicken, then how are you going to get chicken to eat?
Koko: I don't them to kill animal.
Mummy: Then, you don't eat chicken or meat. Nobody going to sell chicken anymore.
Koko: I'll eat vege only, but they will still kill animal. (still crying very lot)...

Since yesterday, Koko insisted on vegetables only. When we reached the hawker stall and he saw his favorite chicken rice, he forgot. Daddy then told him, 'chicken is meat. Do you still want?'
Koko stared at it. Then said, 'Ok, i don't want.' He just ordered a porridge, assuming no meat in there.

Before he ate anything, Koko will ask what is the ingredient use. Flour, ok.. meat, no...
We're wondering how long is his persistence and whether we should support him? No meat?? Hmm...

Feel to make this again.. finding time now..

Time for money or Money for time...

Which choice will you make? If you have enough money, probably you'll want some extra time. If you have a lot of time, probably you'll choose to spend the time to earn some money. For example, you want to buy an oven. Will you just go to an electronics shop and ask about the item and buy it if you're satisfied? Or will you go around to several shops before make your decision? Probably you'll end up buying in the first shop at the end, or probably you'll have a very good bargain on the second/third shop. You'll take 1 hour if you buy it from the first shop or you may take 4 hours for the survey done in several shops.

So far, I'm chasing on the money with my time. Currently, I have been thinking, is it worth the effort of spending so much time just for the money? Should I just use the time to spend with my kids, do my gardening or even just to read a book? Is the present or future is more important? For future, if we don't have the money, we may not be able to enjoy the things that we wish for. If I spend the time to chase for the money now, I may be neglecting the present time that I have. Tough question!! Balance, or yes..easy to say than do..
