Thinking about getting a hamster?

Posted by cuteness | Posted in Uncategorized | Posted on 10-03-2010

I am currently looking for a new fitness equipment for our hamster – a bigger running wheel, an exercise ball or a exercise car. We Photobuckethave been having our pet hamster for some months now. Hamsters make great pets because they are extremely cute, funny and taking care of a hamster isn’t really difficult. Well, if you buy a pair of hamsters, you may have a fast growing population of hamsters problem in your hands if you are not careful. :)

Anyhow, if you are thinking about getting a hamster there is a website that you may want to visit to learn all you may need to know about hamsters – theanimalfiles.com. I find the information they provide is invaluable.

Posted by cuteness | Posted in Uncategorized | Posted on 26-09-2009

Despite life being at times rather complicated, living in the 21st century sure is interesting. There are simply so many things that we can use to help us learn new things the fun way. Now if you want to learn new words, you have the option not to go through the tiresome process of reading the thesaurus. Just buy the Classic Word Games for your Nintendo DS! :)

Features:

* Have fun with a wide selection of easy to pick up minigames: a total of 13 games, including brand-new games, classic games upgraded and classics.
* Measure your progress and unlock hidden games.
* Recreational Games invite you to have a relaxing moment, alone or with friends. Play with the famous Hangman or activate your neurons with the classic Crosswords.
* Improve your knowledge with a wide variety of fun facts that explain, for example, an idiom’s origin
* Dynamic difficulty system that adapts the game timers to your level as you progress
* The game keeps track of the words you have learned and test you on those words instead of random words.
* “Warm-Up” rounds before getting into the tracked rounds.
* Challenge your friends and family with the Single-Card Download or the Multi-Card option and see who can get the highest score.

Just wonder whether words like mesothelioma, dystopia, materteral would come up in the game. Guess I should try it and find out! :)

Furniture for the little people.

Posted by cuteness | Posted in Uncategorized | Posted on 06-08-2009

When I was working for a short time at a local kindergarten, besides the children, other things I love there are the furniture. All the preschool furniture were small sized, and made easy to use by the little ones. In a way, small sized furniture for preschool is indeed part of the learning process for these preschoolers to learn use every day things independantly – things that they may need help with when they are at home because either the furniture at home are too high or too heavy for them.

For the bookworm Nintendo DS gamer.

I recently have tried a new Nintendo DS lite game. Well, it is not exactly a game but ebooks. “100 Classical books collection” for Nintendo DS. It was released end of last year.

Imagine carrying along with you a small library of 100 hundred classical books. Minus the weight and the space consuming shapes of an ordinary book. Brilliant eh? You don’t have to spend hundreds of dollars to buy for an ebook reader now.

Use the DS stylus to scroll for the books that you are looking for. Or you can search alphabetically for the Author ofrthe title. Once you’ve located the particular book, touch on it.

You can flip the pages back and forth just by sliding the stylus to the right or left. Or even tap left to flip back or right to flip forward. They even include the sound of a real page flipping when you flip the pages.

You can even set whether you are a right handed person or a left handed person. If you are a right handed person as most of us are, the touchscreen will be on the right hand side, while if you are a left handed person it will be on your left side. Well, obviously you will just need to rotate the DS.

Besides being able to read the books, other features that I love is that they even provide with information about the book and also about the author of the book.

Also, there are background sound so you can create an ambiance that will transport yourself to a location that you want while reading. You can choose no background sound for silent reading, classical music, relaxing music, sound of the stream- you will hear the sound of a moving stream, sound by the beach- waves, even the sound from the airport and much more.

You want to stop reading for  a while? Just use the bookmark. You can use up to 3 bookmarks for 3 different pages.

Finally, there is a wifi function that enables you to download more books. This I have not tried since I do not know how to set up my wifi.  Too bad. But 100 books is good enough for a year of two of reading won’t they?

Below is a list of Authors and titles in the collection:

I think it is a really great idea that we can read books using our DS. I hope the idea wont stop here. Perhaps they would develop more so we can even read other kind of books besides these classical books.
