Puzzle Solving

While Along still enjoy playing all sorts of computer games, the other siblings have no chance at the computer at all. Well, even we, the parents, too can't touch what seems to be Along's computer now.

With that, Angah had to resort to other games. Lately, I found an old picture puzzle that belonged to my brother and me. That was our only picture puzzle.

Along, being an expert with anything as long as it has mouse, CPU and monitor, decided that she didn't have enough passion and patience to complete even a simple puzzle. Adik is a little bit too young for that and she gets frustrated easily. So, everyone leaves Angah alone with the puzzle. With no pressure and disturbance from anyone, Angah has completed the puzzle many times. The best part about her completing the puzzle is this : she can just pick up any piece of puzzle and place it correctly without having to think twice. The way I do it, is the old-fashioned way. I would find the puzzle that would fit the borders and then slowly, the rest would into places.

I tried teaching her that, but she seems to be very much comfortable with her own style. I am impressed that she could just pick up any piece and knowingly she place that piece correctly as if every piece has been numbered. Either she has a photographic memory or she already saved the picture of the complete puzzle in her mind.

Anyway, I think now that I know what she likes doing, I probably will try to get her another puzzle the next time I go shopping. At least, there is something that she and I could enjoy on a rainy afternoon.
