			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p style="text-align: justify;">Daddy said we are getting a special Christmas present for my cousin Peggy &#8211; and I got all excited about it &#8211; until he told me he was getting a <a href="http://www.malibuhorizon.com/detox/alcohol-detox.aspx">alcohol detox</a> for cousin Peggy.    I asked daddy why? and daddy said Cousin peggy loves to drink during the festive season, so this year &#8211; he would prefer to give her a useful gift to help her get rid of some really nasty toxins in her body.   Luckily, daddy and mummy don&#8217;t drink &#8211; else I just might have to get them a alcohol detox for a gift when I&#8217;m older.  Daddy said alcohol detox is great for people who needs help with their drinking habits  &#8211; and I guess there must be a lot of people who loved to drink during the holidays &#8211; so should everyone give their loved ones a alcohol detox too?  I wonder how many people get a gift for alcohol detox during Christmas.</p>

<p style="text-align: justify;">Yes! my mom knows people from around the world &#8211; from Singapore to USA and even in UK &#8211; she has friends who are <a href="http://www.eghlaw.com/">raleigh lawyers</a> and not forgetting those in Australia too.  If anyone needs anything from anywhere from around the world &#8211; my mom can make the connection for you.  Some of these friends, my mom already know for a long time &#8211; others they are online friends from blogging.  But mostly &#8211; they are friends when she worked in Singapore &#8211; and had known for a long time.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">But since coming to Canada &#8211; mama met a lot of friends thru&#8217; blogging especially for business &#8211; so that she can chat with other business owners and suppliers from overseas to see if we can find suppliers elsewhere.  So if you need any connections from lawyers to suppliers or buying a house &#8211; you can count of my mom to help you source out the right people for you.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p style="text-align: justify;">Only 24 days to Christmas and mama is still getting  <a href="http://www.thesource.ca/estore/category.aspx?language=en-ca&amp;catalog=online&amp;category=gifts-for-christmas">christmas gift ideas</a> for all my friends and teachers and everyone in my school.   We do have some ideas already &#8211; of what to get for different people but not all and it&#8217;s hard to buy for my grampie and grammie.  Aunt Helena who is leaving for her Christmas vacation to Toronto &#8211; next Tuesday &#8211; will have to be given her presents this weekend before she leaves and we haven&#8217;t a clue what to get for her.  Daddy thought of getting her a LCD tv &#8211; but she won&#8217;t be here to enjoy it &#8211; but I told daddy it doesn&#8217;t really matter &#8211; she can enjoy it when she gets home from her Christmas vacation in the Spring.  As for me I would love to have a Vtech learning tablet &#8211; because I can read on it and I can also play games on it.  It would be super cool if Santa would bring me one.</p>

<p style="text-align: justify;">I love playing Batman Lego &#8211; but like everything else &#8211; daddy and mama don&#8217;t buy anything too expensive for me &#8211; and this game was only $5 from a yardsale.  Daddy and mama said that there is no need to have everything I want immediately &#8211; and that all good things come to those who waits.  I cannot be like other kids &#8211; I have to be a responsible one &#8211; and learn to appreciate money and the value of things.   I may not know all about money &#8211; but mama said that money isn&#8217;t everything &#8211; the most important thing in life is honesty and being happy with what we have.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p style="text-align: justify;">This year for Christmas &#8211; I&#8217;m going caroling at the local hospital &#8211; and it&#8217;s all because mama said it&#8217;s a good and nice thing to do during the holidays &#8211; to bring some cheer to the sick and to the children who are stuck in the hospital because they are sick.  The hospital will be decorated and everyone will be having hot chocolate at the end of the songs that we are planning to sing.  The <a href="http://www.marcusuniforms.com">nurse uniform</a> are different too &#8211; during Christmas time &#8211; and they are all wearing very pretty pink and colorful scrubs.  I like the scrubs that they are wearing &#8211; they don&#8217;t look like nurses &#8211; they look like people who are in the hospital playing with the children there.   It&#8217;s not so frightening to visit the hospital when you see the nurses and doctor dress up in fun type of uniforms.  What about you ?  are you caroling t his year in the hospitals?</p>

<p style="text-align: justify;">My daddy always say &#8211; it was quite strange how he started his business &#8211; our store &#8211; well &#8211; my daddy&#8217;s store to be exact.  With no credit to the bank &#8211; my daddy started small with a business partner.  And even though they can get any help from the bank &#8211; daddy&#8217;s business partner &#8211; probably got a <a href="http://www.stimulusfunding.com/">bad credit small business loans</a> for his share of the business &#8211; else he won&#8217;t have gotten any money whatsoever.   Even though the partner wasn&#8217;t good with money, he was very brave &#8211; and gung-ho about having his own business.  Had it not been him &#8211; my daddy wouldn&#8217;t have owned a store.  But half a year after they opened the store &#8211; daddy bought out his partner &#8211; because he wanted to do something else.   Daddy is grateful for his partner&#8217;s contribution towards opening the store &#8211; and if the partner can open a business &#8211; so can anyone else.  All you need is the right small business loans &#8211; and you can start anew &#8211; and make something out of yourself.</p>

<p style="text-align: justify;">Happy Halloween everyone!  while other kids have a few costumes for Halloween and lots of treats &#8211; my Halloween costume was bought when it went on sale at Superstore at 40% discount.  And Halloween treats for my class is made by my Grammie and I helped decorate the cookies on the weekend when I spent time with Grammie and Grampie.   My mama and daddy do not believe in spending a lot of money for frivolous things  &#8211; because they are saving up for college for me.  Mama said that she doesn&#8217;t believed in me going in <a href="http://www.debt.com">debt</a> even before I can earn money &#8211; so they started saving for me as soon as I was born.   Mama said I have to be grateful for what I have and not ask for more than I need &#8211; that&#8217;s because a lot of people out there don&#8217;t have anything &#8211; even with food &#8211; they don&#8217;t want me to waste any food &#8211; because a lot of people out there got no food.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">Mama said that even though we own our own business &#8211; we don&#8217;t owe the suppliers anything &#8211; we pay when the bills comes immediately  &#8211; because going into debt is not a good thing.  Some people go into debt because they have no choice &#8211; but some people go into debt because they don&#8217;t spend their money wisely &#8211; so mama said I have to learn to save money and spend wisely.  Even though we are comfortable in life &#8211; it doesn&#8217;t mean that we can splurge and be spendthrift.  Saving money and spending wisely are good virtues mama said.</p>

<p style="text-align: justify;">Today was the last day of summer camp &#8211; and we had a party in the evening &#8211; and I was supposed to go up the stage and say thank you to all my leaders/councilors for taking care of me during the summer &#8211; and then to give them a gift certificate to eat lunch at Rudder&#8217;s.  But when I went up to the stage &#8211; I froze up and didn&#8217;t say a thing except thank you.  Even with mama on the stage with me &#8211; i refused to say anything &#8211; I was terrified big time and was sweating a little bit.  But the leaders were grateful for the gift certificate and came to thank mama for it.  I asked mama why we have to give gift certificate while no one else does &#8211; and mama said it&#8217;s a nice thing to do for the people who took care of me &#8211; the entire summer &#8211; and gave me so much fun.</p>
