  - Piano

  - Ballet
  - Calligraphy
  - Abacus
  - Outward bound
  - Swimming
  - Violin
  - Guitar
  - Tuition Tuition and Lotsa Tuition....
  
  When I small I think I like to learn piano... didn't manged to... coz I find it very cool to play piano like the musician... Sometime I wish I could play very romantic music for the person I love... what about you?

  regardless of boy or ger, i will let him/her learn piano... cos i also wan to learn piano when i was young but my mum is not able to afford me for piano lessons. so i swear that when i have a kid in future, piano is a must for them to learn.. to make up what i don have in the past..
  
  then if my boy is weak, i will ask him learn wu shu also.. let him rem the chinese culture rather than learning judo or takweando.. but defintely not for gers la.. for ger, i rather ask her to help me out in the housework, learn cooking..

  if gal -> piano
  if boy -> dunno
  
  piano cos i ever thought of learning to play piano when young but i didnt tell my parents abt it. now that i grow up liao, have to pay out of my own pocket for it.
  
  but seriously, we all want our kids to learn this learn that. has it occured to you that they may not be interested in learning the things you want them to learn? my colleague's parents make her learn piano but she doesnt like it. in the end, she dropped it halfway.

  Another good skill to learn.
  
  Gambling. Teaches in the right sense, it actually helps with training up their memory & mathematics. Also early training in probabability. And cards are compact enough to bring along anywhere to keep babies entertained.
