Pattaya Bike Week Dream! Fly, Drive or Ride? Planning the Adventure

Image
Hello my awesome friends! Guess what? Kak Mawar is dreaming of an adventure! There is a super big, super fun party happening next year. Next year, maybe February! It is called the Pattaya Bike Week ! Where is it? It is in a sunny, happy place called Pattaya , in Thailand! It is a giant party just for motorcycles! Vroom Vroom! Bikers come from everywhere – Malaysia, Thailand, Singapore, maybe even from faraway lands!  They bring their cool bikes, shiny bikes, big bikes, small bikes! They show off their amazing machines. There will be loud music (Rock and roll!), yummy Thai food (maybe spicy!), dancing, and lots and lots of happy biker friends together. It sounds like so much fun! So, Kak Mawar really, really wants to go! For the fun, the bikes, the adventure! But... there is one big puzzle I need to solve first. How do I get there?  Should I fly like a bird? Drive like in a cozy car? Or ride my own big monster bike all the way? Hmm... let's think about it together! Option 1: F...

Sunshine in a Cup! Warm Lemon Water in the Morning | Yay or Nay

Hello my lovely, healthy friends! Do you have a special morning routine?  Something you do right after you wake up, even before yummy breakfast? Kak Mawar likes to start the day with a special sunny drink! Guess what it is? It is warm water mixed with... LEMON juice! Squeeze! Splash! Some people say drinking this warm lemon water when your tummy is still empty is like giving your insides a gentle morning shower! A little "washy-washy" to start the day fresh!  But wait! If your tummy sometimes feels a bit grumpy or ouchy, like with gastric, maybe it is better to drink it after you eat, okay? Listen to your own tummy, it knows best! What's So Special About Lemons Anyway? Lemons are amazing! They are like little balls of sunshine you can hold in your hand! They belong to the citrus fruit family, like oranges and limes. They have bright yellow skin, a super fresh smell that makes you go "Ahhh!" , and a taste that is sour but also super refreshing! Pucker up! Hehe...

Learning Letters Can Be Tricky! Understanding Dyslexia for Kids | It's Okay!

Isn't it amazing how everyone learns things in their own special way? Like different flowers in a beautiful garden! Some flowers shoot up super fast towards the sun.  Some flowers like to take their time, growing slowly and steadily. Some love bright sunshine, while others prefer the cool shade. Are they all beautiful? Yes, of course! Well, children are just like those flowers! Especially when they start learning tricky things, like reading letters and writing words. Sometimes, trying to learn the ABCs and how words work can feel like trying to untangle a big, messy knot of wool! It can be confusing and a little bit frustrating. There is a special word for when learning letters and words feels extra, extra tricky for someone. The word is Dyslexia (say it like this: dis-LEX-ee-uh).  It might sound like a big, serious, grown-up word, but really, it is just a gentle way to say that someone's amazing brain learns about letters and words in a different way. It is not a wrong way...
