thanks everyone on your reply, feedbacks and valuable experiences.2yrs ago i bought a english-indon dictionary for my expiring helper too. i was going to get one for this new lady too.how weak arh.. hahah.. first conversation.. i asked if she is afraid of dog..she like blurred and later just kept shaking her head.. cos she doesn't know what's that.. luckily we passed by a pet shop so i pointed to her. hahaa.im sure need time to pick up lar... but just tot since also she's alone at hm during the day.. n shldnt have too much to do since just a small hse, perhaps can send her for some enrichment course... which is definitely valuable to herself too?but then oso.. being new to Spore.. it's not a good idea to so quickly expose her to 'the outside' huh.heeee~
