psychology lecture todae brought up the findings of an experiment done to test learning during the pre-natal stage. One of the example was, mummys-to-be had to read the storybook 'Cat in the Hat' to her unborn child for a period of 6weeks. It was found that such babies after they were being born, preferred the story 'Cat in the Hat' being read to them by their mum (a voice they are familiar with) compared to the same story read by another female. At the same time, it was also found that the baby do also prefer the story 'Cat in the Hat' rather than another story book when the mum reads it. Why did they use Dr Seuess 'Cat in the Hat' book i'm not sure, prob becoz it is a well-known children story.

actually when 'Cat in the Hat' was being mentioned, on my part, it did brought back nice memories... this book was one of my first books my mum taught mi to read too. Everything rhymes in that.... cat hat bat mat pat... hmm, was wondering.. mayb my liking for rhyming words and being so particular bout ya yun is due to this. Sentences definitely sounds more melodious when there is a certain tempo n rhythm to it. doesnt it?

of coz i'm ok if u don speak in rhyme
it is defineitely better rather than u choosing to mime
i noe some ppl feel that it doesnt worth a dime
so they would not try it n waste their time
but i do really love the way it chimes.

haha it's so fun... coming out with something that rhymes n hopefully make sense too...

hmm for those who don like rhymes, it's ok, i wont consider it a crime! ;p
