Brain activities center for kids

Being parent I am sure we want to have the best for our children, do you there's brain activities center for children? They have like left brain/right brain, which will give children to do assessment etc. 

Anyway it's not cheap to have children attend this classes. 

One of my son's classmate, he didn't go for this classes but he enrolled for English center. They are not cheap too, the course is expensive but they have told the parents if they didn't achieve the result they can attend again the same level for free. Indeed, her children gets to attend for free until they have pass the level.

As for the brain activities center, I am not sure if they have such guarantee for parent. 

What do you think? 

I feel that best brain activities for children are sports, that's where they can sweat it out and have a good health at the same time. 

Son asking for Xbox or PS4 games

This is unexpected, son told his dad that he wants to play Xbox games or PS4 games. We don't own any console of these games. I didn't encourage him to play any of them, since it's enough having just Ipad to play. Son complains that my computer is old and slow that's why he cannot play the games.

Anyway I told him that's he's no good with exam results, it's better he forget about playing these expensive games. If he's result is good and being A students like his friend, I am sure he can be like them to play whatever games they prefer. No kidding, his classmate not having just good grades but also good in playing games. Well, I don't think anyone is born genius, his classmate must be good in organizing their times to play and study well.

It's not fair to put them see who is smarter and who's not, I just want the best for my son. I don't him to tired out playing games, sports are more healthy and sweat for good!

Miss going to yoga and exercise class

I used to take part of yoga exercise and other exercise, look at the shoes above. It is still here and very good to use. My sister also have a pair just like above, her shoes one size smaller than mine.

So long time no go the yoga centre, I am sure not many changes. It is a shoplot and the centre is locaed upstair. The owner also teaches yoga and exercise, she also hired people to teach. All participants that exercise in her centre are female only.

The shop location is nearby Asia Cafe at SS15, Subang Jaya. I am not sure how is the parking there now, I know I have hard time going there because of no parking space. Many food choice at Asia Cafe, yumm!

Sean needs exercise too, he has put on weight. He has supper every night, he needs to lose weight.
