What to do you want to be when you grow up?

July 6, 2008

This would always be the question grownups ask kids when they’re on an ‘interview’ mode. Well, my 12-year old nephew used to tell me he likes to be a scientist and study at Harvard though lately his love for baking had him entertaining thoughts of becoming a chef. Yup! I’m not kidding on that… just today he baked fish with creamy sauce and sweet buns topped with pearl sugar. He’s not even a teenager yet but he knows his way with baking basics. He learned it at school including other skills such as woodworking. Well, I wonder how other kids would want to be when they grow up. The usual replies would include being a pilot, nurse, doctor, engineer or lawyer. I wonder if they’d consider being a futures broker as an attractive career.

Packing up dilemma

How do you pack some computer hardware for travel – motherboard, hard drive, RAMs, video card, cables, and such? This was my dilemma as we were busy packing up for our flight coming here in Finland… anyway, I was able to pack everything successfully and now the goods are here safe and sound. My big sis wanted to assemble her own desktop computer, that’s why… so a generous donor gave his thumbs up to bring the pieces here. I just wrapped some of them in paper and in bubble wraps and tucked them away in my laptop carrying case with some clothes folded in between to avoid some bumps during the trip.
