A Friend is Leaving the Country

My day started as usual: driving to work, getting stuck in traffic, having coffee (water, actually), checking emails, coding. But today, I got pinged my a friend who told me that he would be leaving the country for good this weekend. I knew he had had problems staying here, but I thought he found a way to finish his study. So his news saddens me.

I asked him the reason he suddenly was unable to stay anymore. And he said, "because... it's April Fools' Day!"

He got me. I hope your day was full of more pleasant surprise from those around you.

Today, a blog I am following, Free Money Finance posted several interesting April Fools' stories. Check them out if you have time.
And more April Fools' stuff from around the web:

Myth or ?

Now that my daughter hits 10 month mark, she starts to move more actively around. She doesn't quite walk yet, but she tries. Her feet don't move one in front of the other, but her whole body make a "jump" to compensate. As such, she fell and hit her head. A part of her forehead was swollen. And when we called our family, the single advice that everyone gave us was: Rub oil on it, and then rub a knife on it. This was totally the way we were brought up. I remember seeing an adult rubbing the swollen part of a child's head with knife. It works too! But it makes me wonder... Why does it work? Do we still have to do that nowadays?

Amigurumi: Single Pea and Deadly Cute Ninja

I think I was bitten by the craft bugs. Here's my next creation: the single pea (because making 3 of them in solid green is just too much for my eyes) and the deadly but cute ninja. Chris called them Peany and Ninji. Peany, Dora, Ninji, and Mushy posing together It's hard to see from this photo, but Ninji actually has a sling (in a slightly different color) around his body, and a mini ninja star. And talk about proportion... the vegetables are larger than the cat and the person. Makes you wonder, isn't it?
