Cost per Liter

If you could buy breast milk by the liter from the corner store, how much would it cost?

Answer:
According to the economist Julie Smith, breast milk is worth approximately AUD50 a liter. Based on 1992 Australian figures, Smith estimates that Australian women produced 33 million kilograms, worth AUD2.2 billion to the economy, which is about 0.5 percent of the GDP. Since 1993 Norway has included human milk output in its annual reports on national food production. It is the only country to do so.

Fresh Milk ~ Fiona Giles

I've been the sole milk supplier to my baby and I've ever thought about this - breast milk as a commodity. Adding love and intimacy on top of that 50 bucks, the milk "sold" to my baby would be priceless.

还在

总是觉得祖母还在。
当我回到家一脚踏进家门就会看见她在满脸的皱纹里藏着的笑容。

人们说年的杀气很大，所以老人们都很担心等不到下一个团年，一个孩子孙子们把家挤爆的团年。

很庆幸自己在圣诞后带了我的小瓜回家，让他看看曾祖母，也让祖母关怀她的第四代。
而在我脑海中，祖母享用着杜拜甜枣的高兴模样，是我对她的最后印象。

想不到喂祖母吃小食是我为她做的最后一件事。
真的要对自己重要的人好一点。不想在他们走的那一天后悔。

Shattered

I think I have slippery hands. Or you may call it clumsy. I broke the lid of my Tefal pan in the last month of 2008 while doing the dishes and I'm yet to find the replacement for it.

For the first month of 2009, my drinking glass refused to let me clean it that it rather slipped and killed itself, shattered into tiny pieces all over the sink. It's a sign that doing dishes is not my expertise. I need a dish washer to rescue the innocent items in the kitchen. Too much casualties in my humble flat.

The death of the drinking glass made me realize how much I love Ikea. No pressure of breaking stuff and I always know that I can get a replacement in a pack of 6... more for me to break!
