Albert loves math

When Albert was in China, he loved to give George and me math quiz, normally additions with many big numbers. Right now Albert got hooked by multiplications, I tried to explain to him how it works and what it means, he doesn't seem to get it though, but he refused to do addition and subtraction. I opened his Kindergarten and Grade 1 math exercise book, and surprised to see that he finished both already. No wonder, he's ready for new challenges.

It's so funny that if you ask Albert to do 12 + 3, he probably would say "I don't know". But if you ask Albert, "If you are playing basketball, and you already scored12, now you get 3 more points. What do you have now?" He will give you the answer right away.

Albert's love for China

Albert just came back from China after a 2 month stay. He really enjoyed it and promised grandparents that he's going back to China every year until he's 18, then he would go to college. I asked him why he loved China, he said a lot of yummy food and snacks. : )

Albert suddenly grew up, talked fluently in Chinese using complex wordings, became reasonable, and learned to control his temper. Thanks to grandpas and grandmas.

What Albert said recently:
奶奶,你买给我吃, 我就吃。
说不好美国话, 也就说不好中国话。
上海好吃的东西最多,Austin第二,金华第三。
奶奶给我的,就是我的。
我有点怕爷爷,但我又喜欢他。

山口百惠

Found a person that I really like has the same star sign. Admire her for her determination, for her braveness, for her desire towards simple but happy life. The only and forever 山口百惠.

"感谢大家容许我的任性,我会得到幸福的~"
