Cooking Chicken Porridge

Today, my mother cooks porridge because my brother is sick.
My fathre, my sister and my mother first brough him to see the doctor.
While my brother is wating a movie, my mother and I cook the porridge. My mother cooks the porridge because he could not eat anything else for dinner or lunch.




Here, my mother is standing at the stove stirring the porridge.



My brother Anicius and I are watching her.



Here I am washing plates so that my maid do not have so much work to do.











How to make chicken porridge:

1. Wash rice.

2. Put some oil and sesame oil in the washed rice.

2. Boil some chicken stock.

3. Pour rice into the pot.

4. Stir for one hour while the rice is boiling.

5. Make sure brother and sister do not steal chicken while stiring rice.

Nine Times Table

Atticus: What I saw was a pattern of the nine time table when my mother told me to write out the nine time table.

Like 9 x 1 = 9 that means that 2 x 9 = 18 because that is how I found out the pattern. When you get into each number there is a taking away because 3 x 9 = to 27 see 9,8, 7 but you must add the left hand number 1, 2,3 ,4 .

But I also did something that I have never done before. like 13 x 9 = 117 I also did
14 x 9 = 126 because you add 1 to 1 and take away 1 from 7 so you get 126.

13 X 9 = 117
14 x 9 = 126
15 x 9 = 135
16 x 9 = 144
17 x 9 = 153
18 x 9 = 162
19 x 9 = 171
20 x 9 = 180

My moter says that I was very smart while I was doing it. This evening Uncle Kwong Fook came over and tested me on the time table. But I could not answer some of his questions but I could do others. Ha ha very funny.!!!!!

BODMAS

Today my mama told me that BODMAS means Brackets of division , mulitplication, Additin and Substraction.

This is because Uncle Kwong Fook, who always come to our house on the weekend to eat our food, was teaching me maths.

The first sum was (7-6) x (3+4) x (2+3)

My mother did not believe that I can do it. She said the first time is an accident.
So he gave me another sum.
(8+2) x (3+4) + (1+6)

I also got it correct and she said it was a coincidence

So he gave me the thrid math.
((1+6) x (8-3))+(10-7)

This time when I got it correct she said it is an incident. So happy.

Cheese Cake


Dear Aunty Doris,

We are eating your cheese cake now with our neighbour. She is the the one we gave our easter eggs to last week. This is a photography of her with us in her house.



Ariel said the cheese cake is very nice.

Atticus said that the bottom of the chees cake seems not nice but actually it taste quite good.

Oh no we ate the cheese cake before lunch so my mother will make sure that we eat lunch.

Thank you Aunty Doris

Oh no. My big brother Angus said it is very good. And he ate our share.

We hope to make the cheese cake ourselves soon.

My neighbour said that Angus cannot eat the cheese cake as it will make his hair more curly.





My brother asked what is wrong with curly hair.

She said that it is the wrong era to have curly hair. He should be living in the 1960's like Elvis. Now my neighbour is trying to comb away his curls.
