How are you, Grandpa

Frankly, I am not a very romantic or emotional kind of person. Thus, I never seriously mark down which is my happiest moment and so forth. So.... Italy guy, no point going back, also no point going forward too fast either. Can I just stay in the present moment? I appreciate my present life so much with hubby and baby Elizabeth always around.

However, if I can just hop in to this Italy guy's time machine together with him ( just because I do not own this kind of technology yet), to make a difference for the past. I won't be interested to see my dad either, even though I practically do not recognized his face at all. But, his face, My grandpa. Can I just go back to 2005 and be at his side for a few minutes? Just to have one glance, one smile, one hug and few words from him.

You were so healthy... that's what I thought all the time. Then, how come all of the sudden you just break down.
You were so cool since young. But, I heard you laughing clear and loud, and said you're coming to my wedding once you know I am getting married.
That day, I put on my wedding gown... But you are not right beside.
I wanted to show you even it's in the hospital, however, no one agrees.
I am still confident that you could get up from the bed and talk to me one day.
For weeks, you never make it.
Then, you leave without a chance to say Goodbye.

May be the time machine don't have to go back to that time. Can it just show me where you are now? Just send me to you, all I wanted to say is "How are you,Grandpa?"

These are the five that I'm going to tag:

Sting

Zara's mama

Our Casino King

Recently, there is a big news in Malaysia, which is the death of our Casino King Lim Goh Thong. I still remember the night before the news came out in The Star newspaper, I was shopping in the night market on the street. While I was paying for my fried chicken, I received one call. I get so excited cause that's from hubby. I quickly pick up the call, "Hello...", then, I started to scratch my head once I hang off. Is this such an exciting news for him? He practically just call to inform me the death of Lim Goh Thong, strange isn't it? That's Danny, my hubby! :)

Anyway, he is one of the richest man in Malaysia. A great man who build his kingdom from operating a casino in Genting Highland, Malaysia. I read about his autobiography before. He is another Chinaman that manage to stand out in life without highly educated. A very smart man that certainly made most Chinese proud of him. His kingdom -- Genting Highland certainly contribute a lot in Malaysia tourism industry.

I heard that he had invested overseas too. In the future, his son or grandson might own one of the top united states online casinos too. Seems like he has left a great kingdom for his son. A great father, isn't he?

Butter Longer

Last week when I went for massage, I shop for food in Giant Hypermarket. In my mind, I am aiming at biscuits for breakfast sometimes. So, while I was searching, one lady just come to me and asked weather I am interesting to try biscuits from Japan. She is the promoter for Japs products there.

Frankly, I used to crazy over those mini round type Japanese biscuits that has a cot of cheese with a whole almond on top. May be some of you are familiar with it too. That's yummy! However, I certainly felt the pinch every time I put them in my mouth. So, I stop buying long ago.

Now again, I just can't resist the taste of this "Butter Longer". Yes, I bought 1 to try thinking of my baby may like it. And, I am right. She likes it. But, it's a bit hard for her. So I stop giving her but put them in my mouth. hahahaha.....
It's really too yummy! Hubby likes it too. This is already the second pack that I bought this Monday. The rich butter taste will surround you once it melts in your mouth. So if you are someone who fancy butter, don't miss this. It's crunchy too. Give it a try!

However, my pocket! Did you hear that? *Ouch* *Ouch* :)

Advertise in UK

I always wanted to open an online shop but really got no time to survey the market properly. However, I think the best methods would be to save more money. Then, once I know what to sell and get my site prepared, I can straight away bombard the money into advertising. I think that should be the fastest ways to get traffic and response. In this case, may be I can do less on proper market survey if I found a good media planning company to help, I believe their professionalism will help me to find the right niche in no time.

In fact, Media Planning UK has already come to a stage where they have sites that provides sellers of advertising space to communicate with buyers of advertising. I can easily access to the media in UK or Ireland almost immediate now, then choose the most appropriate type of advertising for niche in UK. At the moment, I think pay per click campaign should be the most common advertising for an online shop.

My lovely Sam Soon

This is another interesting Korean Drama Series. However, this drama is not something new. It's a champion drama in Korean in 2005. Anyway, I just discovered it recently. I was told by my friend this is a very interesting drama. Something that all of us -- Korean Drama fans wouldn't want to miss.

At first, I was like... Waw!Really so amazing? And, tell you what I stay awake for the whole night just to finish the whole drama. Scary aye? Actually I always did that for 2 thumbs up drama series, doesn't matter it's Korean, Cantonese, Taiwanese or English series. In fact, you can considered me as a "Drama Series Fever". LOL! Sounds like a typical "Ah Soh" (housewife), didn't I? But, this habit began long before I became a real "Ah Soh". Is that means long ago I am already a potential "Ah Soh"? hahahaha....

Anyway, don't miss this show. It is a very good show. Funny! Very very Funny! Touching! Romantic! Sad! Happy! Everything in. 4 thumbs up (including toe thumbs) for Korean show. Other than the girl called Sam Soon is lovely. Oh! This reminds me that I still haven't announce the title. It's " My lovely Sam Soon". There is another thing in this drama that I fall in love too -- the Sam Soon pig. It's very common in the market now. A very lovely soft toy. Sooo cute!

LOL! Today is all about my favorite Korean Series.... :)

Can't live without washing machines

Nowadays, even with maids around, they still won't wash all our clothes with their hands anymore. We as their employer might prefer them to use washing machine as well, as wash with hands is time consuming. Thus, almost every household need at least one washing machine. Some even have 2. However, I still never spend on a dryer. Still using the old method by just hang all the clothes till dry. Some of my friend practically told me that the dryer might not be handy if we have enough space to hang our clothes to dry. In this case, I just forget about it.

However, a good washing machine is very important for my family as there are eight of us in the family including one baby that change frequently. I am currently using a front load washer that it's big enough to squeeze in my king size quilt. This provides me the convenience of not sending my quilt to the laundry. Anyway, my mum just always prefer front load which I don't really understand why. Thus, Bosch Washing Machines are suitable for us too. :)

New Korean Drama Series

If you are someone who is crazy over Korean Drama Series like me. You may fall in love with this new release called "Lovers".

At first, I chose this series simply because I like the female leading actress Kim Jung Eun. I was crazy about her once I saw her in "Lovers in Paris". She is a lively stars who is good in acting and also famous for her natural beauty too in Korean ( why said natural? This is because she did less alteration of her look with plastic surgery).

Anyway, this story is all about a beautiful orthopedic doctor falling in love with a man who is not highly educated yet involved in a mafia group. In fact, he is the leader of this group, so called "Tai Kor". Frankly, this guy (Lee Seo Jin) is not handsome to me but quite man.

Overall, this drama is quite touching especially towards the end of the story. There is a heart breaking moments about friendship and family love too. And, it also showed us that sometimes there are lots of sacrifices to make just to be with the right one.

Also, once again it's all about nothing can stop the true love form flaming.

Great House Warming Gifts

Have you ever made a second glance on the house if you suddenly saw it's beautiful address plaque while passing by? I normally did that. To me, a beautiful address plaque is definitely worth investing as it represents our taste of living. Frankly, if you see a warm and lovely flowery address sign in front of the house, you will assume the internal decoration is very warm and sweet too, isn't it? However, most people who is particular in home decorations always left out this first impression item especially in Malaysia.

May it because it's hard to find places which custom made address plaque with unique designs? Anyway, I do have a custom address plaque that made of stained glass. Frankly, it is not only a piece of address sign, but it is a beautiful piece of art which I appreciate so much. It's a gift from previous owner of my house. Oh! I've met a friendly and nice seller, didn't I? So next time when you think of adding some decorative items for your house, you should consider beautiful house signs too.

Besides, doormat is another household item that we should careful select as it is not only to clean out dirty feet, but it's also the first thing people saw once they walk into your house. I never like bath towel type doormats. I prefer think and stable type doormat which will never being sweep off to a side or roll together once we rub our feet on it like usually what happened to thin, bath towel type doormats. And, of course soft and furry material will be far more comfortable than rubber mat.

Anyway, personalized doormats would be the most impressive one compared to any other designs. I can even sew "Welcome Home" on my custom made doormats. This is a great idea to make everyone of us in the family feel pleased and warm once we step in. I think personalized doormats made a unique gift for house warming too.

Breakfast Recipe

Ha! Some one who is nearly an Idiot in cooking is sharing her secret recipes for breakfast now! LOL! Can eat or not? Can... delicious in fact. Just like what sold in fast food restaurants. Really? So, what is that?

Oh! Here you are...Tuna Sandwich!




Prepare:

1. A few slices of breads ( wholemeal or plain) that you can finish.For me it's 2 pieces.
2. Butter and mayonnaise/Cheese
3. A can of Tuna

Method:

1. Spread some butter on the bread.
2. If you are a cheese lover like me, you can always skip the butter and even the mayonnaise later on. Just add a piece of slice cheese on top after you spread the tuna on the loaf.
3. Add Tuna. I am someone who prefer spicy stuffs. Thus, as you can see, I always mix the spicy and the original tuna together. As it will be too hot if only the spicy flavor. (Breakfast is not supposed to be that hot.)
4. Toast for 2 minutes if you like hot but soft bread. About 4 minutes for a crunchy feel.
5. Spread some mayonnaise on top or any vege like tomatoes and cabbage as you wish, before you serve it. Mm... delicious!

That's it.

Actually, I am just trying to remind you. Don't skip your breakfast. Breakfast is our most important meal in a day. :)

Why is it so important? Check this out then! :)

I just got PR

I am so happy now. Finally, I felt like I have at least made some achievement in blogging. Guess what's that? I got PR 4 now! Oh... YES! That's a great news isn't it?

May be this is nothing for the experienced blogger like shoppingmum. However, it's certainly a big thing for me at the moment. I just can't help but immediately jump for joy once I found this update. So excited! Why? Just imagine... all the while I am zero in page rank.This make me feel like I am nothing is this blog sphere. Then, all of the sudden, I felt like all my hard work pays off as unexpected I get 4 in page rank rather than 1 or 2 that I used to expect. Just like something great happen out of our expectation. The excitement is definitely more than words can express. Amazing isn't it?

Anyway, I am excited also because this means more money for people like me who is writing paid post isn't it? OMG! I just showed my money face! :(

Hooray!

Pink

At first, I thought of so many ideas for this week theme cause it's easy. Just " Pink". However, I am a bit busy by yesterday. So, end up this is what I have for this week. I got attracted to these pink flowers that appear light and dainty immediate after I saw them in Genting Highlands, Malaysia when I was there on 7th July.

However, there is something more important about Pink in October. Remember to check this out, aye?

Have a nice weekend, my friend.

impressive Street Players

Mostly weekends, when you walk along Penang Gurney Drive, you will see something like this...



However, it's kind of surprise to see something like this...




This group are Filipinos and Japanese. I like their style. Not just the old boring one man show on the street. And, they are really good. They used so many instruments. I guess they had fully shown their talents and enthusiasm, aren't they?

I will load one full song of them and share with all of you who are impressed like me, when I have time, k? :)

Illusion

Just in case the instruction in this pic is two small, This is what you should do:

1) Relax and concentrate on the 4 dots in the middle of the picture for about 30 to 40 seconds.
2)Then take a look at the wall near you ( any smooth, single colored surface)
3) you will see a circle of light developing.
4) Start blinking your eyes a couple of times and you will see a figure emerging...
5) What do you see? Moreover, who do you see?

This is extremely cool. In fact, Judy sent this through mail for me. And, I feel like sharing with more people because it is really cool. Don't you think so?

However, I started to feel that we should not trust fully on what we see! See how powerful illusion can be! Ha! And, hope you people enjoy it! :)

Please remember to tell me what you see, k?

Van rack is a must

Are you someone who are used to drive a trunk around? Frankly, I know nothing about truck. I don't think I can handle it well too, as I am too used to drive a small car like what I am driving now. However, I admire my sister in-law who always drive her truck around. She certainly looks sporty and tough while driving her it. It's cool.

Besides, a truck can actually transports many things at one shot. Especially those with van rack. That's one of reason people like to drive a truck too. In fact, hubby always thought of buying a truck. He said he would buy a bicycle before he buy a truck. Then, he will set up a van rack, so that he can drive his bicycle to rural areas and have a great bicycle ride.

Anyway, if he were to buy a van truck, I really got to brush up my driving skill first!

Lanterns in Food Court

Look at these big, or huge lanterns. They are so beautiful, aren't they? You might think this is the lanterns showcase in the Penang International Lantern Festival 2007. However, it is not.
Guess where I found them? LOL! I already mentioned it in the title. Yeah.... they are all from Northern Beach Cafe.

In fact, this cafe is a famous cafe in Penang. It's location is exactly the opposite of Northern Hotel. Thus, its name also include the the word "Northern" for easier recognition, I guess. And, most the local people like here as the food here is no bad. Many varieties including Italian Food, France Food, Western Food, German Sausage, Tim Sum, Seafood, Rojak, Shark fin soup, BBQ Fish and Chicken Wings and some other local specialties like Char Kuay Teow, Prawn Mee, Kerabu Mee Hon, Char Hor Fun and so on. See... really a lot of choice, right?

Actually, people like it so much also because of its seafront location. Just imagine if you have never been there... Seafront yet open air concept. The air there is definitely fresher, and more windy. And now, there is even decorated with these beautiful lanterns and rows of rain drops like lightings, what a great place to enjoy great food, isn't it? And, remember to try its combo (the cup is about double to triple of normal size) fruit juice. Especially when there are only 2 of you, both can share only one cup of combo juice, you one sip, me one sip, LOL! So sweet! hehe.....

Practical

This baby float is definitely something very practical. My baby can actually happily sit in it and confidently lean on this chair like double layered baby float. Really very appropriate for babies.



And, these bouquets are another good example of "Practical". To me, these bouquets are very practical as they are all beautiful gift that we can actually eat them all when we are hungry or when we crave for chocolates. We certainly don't have to throw them away like fresh flowers, or just leave it there as decoration like other decorative items. Practical isn't it? :)

Allergic to Seafood

Last few days I did not blog much as I am really in a bad mood. I am allergic to seafood. As you all know, last few days supposed to be great holidays. I get really excited as hubby might make some short trip plan in Sunday cause he is still holiday on Monday. However, all my dreams and excitement had became a nightmare immediately after having a seafood dinner together with my family and my in laws including shoppingmum. Bad luck! Damp it! All of the sudden, I am allergic to seafood! Why.....

It is quite serious as I have to rush to Adventist Hospital early in the morning ( about 5am) to get some medical advises. My whole face was bloated. Even my ears was inflame. End up, 2 injections, anti histamine and steroids. I hate steroids. But no choice. In that situation, I can't even breathe properly, only steroids can subside that serious internal inflammation immediately. (huh? All of the sudden, I got some allergy prblems every now and then since my delivery, why is that so?)

So, it slowly went off after 2 days of suffering. However, something went wrong again. My computer break down, I can't log in to my MSN. And... the whole systems became so weird. Lots of pops up. Looks like it's another virus attack. LOL! What happened these days? God bless me, please...

Now, my computer is already in the workshop. Temporarily, I can only "steel" hubby's and Bill's computer from time to time. hehehe......

Penang International Lantern Festival 2007

This should be the biggest lanterns exhibition in Asia. And, it's theme should be emphasize on Hello Kitty. It is at Juru, Auto City. I am sure most of you from Malaysia know about it. Just feel like sharing this beautiful picture with you people here. So sad to tell you that I've not been there yet, since its opening in September. I am thinking it should be crowded for the earlier period, so I decided to be the late comer. Ha!

Anyway, It will last until December. And, this picture was sent through email from one of my friend to me. Like it so much as it include one of the uniqueness of Penang -- The Penang Bridge.

No matter what, I will make sure I never miss this big occasion. Not so much on me actually, I am sure Elizabeth don't want to miss it! So, I must bring her there. :)

How about you, my friends? How about more pictures first?

See you there!

LB in Penang

lb, catch this. This is what I am talking about few days ago. It is specially dedicated to you! hehe

So, you are no longer salesman but cafe owner? LOL! Why this type of cafe? Seems like it is a place full of "ah Pek" and may be "ah qua". hahahahaha

Should renovate it, make it more stunning, then, import China Dolls. Sure good business then! hahahahaha

Er... Ladies and gentlemen, I am just joking. lb certainly does not own this cafe. He is not that cheap ler. He is a great man indeed. Thus, this "LB" cafe is actually a bit annoying.

This is really clean

LOL! Why all of the sudden talk about toilet? Ha! But, I really have to share this. Look at this toilet, so clean isn't it? This is the toilet of a Tim Sum cafeteria in Penang old town. "When I actually asked where is the toilet, there was this auntie (one of the waitress) suddenly shout out loud "Our toilets are really clean!" I was thinking... LOL! Why so proud of the toilet? But once open the toilet door.... Oh! She's certainly right. It's really clean. I like it! Ha! Therefore... I snap and blog about it. hehe....

Frankly, last time most of the public, cafe or restaurant toilets are very dirty here. I hate them so much. Especially every time when I came back from the last few Europe trips. Toilets there are so clean!

However, I realized that "we've changed". Most of the toilets out there in Malaysia are quite clean now. I am very happy with this improvement. Proud of it too! This is what I called a good practice. Malaysia Boleh! hahhehehe

A must try Thai Food

There are so many Thai food restaurants in Penang. However, I like "Chili Corner" the most even though it might not have a great selection of dishes from the menu. This is mainly because their seafood here are very fresh. Really... It is famous for it's fish especially. To me, it's rather hard to find such fresh fish in the restaurants. The price is quite reasonable too. Also, some of the dishes are really good such as those that I slide on above. Try it whenever you are in Penang. You might thank me for introducing this Thai Food Restaurant to you. This is just something I wanted to share, definitely not a sponsored post, k? hehe...

Address: 10, Jalan Nagore, 10050 Penang, West Malaysia.
Tel: 04-2262940 H/P:013-4372775
Business Hour: 12.00-2.30PM ; 6.00-9.30PM (closed on Monday)

There are other attractions in this restaurant too. Look at the shark gum, that's one of the various collections of the owner. There are so many photos on him and the big fish he caught on the deep sea. You can even see various types of fishing hocks there too. All are very interesting displays. :)

Poor Dirver may have to pay a higher Insurance Rate

3 days ago, one of my friend just had accident on the road. A car just pop up in the main road all of the sudden and bang my friend's car straight away. That car was supposed to wait until the traffic in the main road slow down, then, only it should drive out from the street. Why are all these people being so rush? Can't they just wait for a while. If this girl can just wait for another few minutes, there won't be an accident anyway.

Luckily this friend of mine was safe. Only the car need some repairs. Nowadays, drivers are getting very careless sometimes. In fact, they should be more careful. Don't they ever realized that their carelessness could take away other people's life? And obviously, they actually should pay for the poor driver auto insurance rates.

Anyway, Hubby just paid his car insurance. And, I would have to pay mine in January. Frankly, I would consider online insurance policy if they provide better car insurance rates.

My maid is gone

I just came back from the airport. My maid is on her way back to Indonesia now. Yes... she has left. We cried a little at the airport. After all, we've been staying together for 2 years. And, she will only be back 11 days later as I mentioned earlier in here.

We all wake up about 5am early in the morning to send her to the airport. And, we did check all her luggage last night. Then, lock it in my room. And, we leave our house, we also check weather she hide anything with her inside the pantz, blouse that she's wearing home. We really have to do that as we shouldn't trust them fully. They can be very cunning sometimes. And, this is what the agent ask us to do. It's one of the "procedure" before we sent them away.

And, Thanks for everyone who consoled me before as you people make me stronger. I no longer worried. Mmm... may be I have to blog less as I have not much time left everyday. This is because I have spend more time taking care of my lil cutie and do some housework, like moping the floor and cleaning the toilets. May be it's going to a bit messy( I'll update you people how mess up it is if I have time, Ha!), but I know it's going to pass sooner than I can realize.

Bye! Fia. Have a save journey. See you again on 19th October. And, Have a nice Raya too,k? :)

P/S: To all mummies, check this out.

Another New Blog

Yes, I have bought another new domain to blog about my darling Elizabeth. It is also my mothering blog which shares those which I think are great mothering infos. In fact, I still need some time to make this blog complete. I want everything about Elizabeth to shift over there. And, I am hoping that I can get a personalize header this time. hehe...

Thus,this blog is left for my own interests about some general topics like traveling, movies, how to make money on line, home improvements and decorations, books, photos, home events and so on. So, mummies, may be you would want to hop to this place now and have a look? Thank you so much for your support. Really thank you all very much. Without your support, I would not have my own money to buy the new domain for Elizabeth either. Thus, also specially thanks to shoppingmum who really help me a lot on dealings with paid post.

Anyway, I will shift all my mummies link there too once I found the time to do it. However, blogs on other topics will still remain here. And, at the same time, I will find time to update the links in my beauty blog too. (Something in the beauty blog has change too, wanna have a look? LOL! A bit hard sell isn't it? Ha! What do we call this? Er... Schmooze, right? hahaha...)

Also, your opinion on the overall output of this new blog is very much welcome. Thanks again.

I have a present for you

Initially I plan to publish myself with curvy hair when I was a bride. However, something break down. That leaves me no choice but to pick something else for this week's theme, as I can't get that "me" in here. Oh... I miss that special moment -- my wedding day.

By the way, Here is a present for everyone of you. Happy birthday everybody! Ha! Crazy Healy!
I found this lively purple present box with beautiful ribbon flower that has curvy tails. However, it is just for decorative purpose. This is one of empty present box that I placed under my Christmas tree on last year's December. (Ops... me and my big mouth. How can I tell everyone that it's only an empty box? OMG!) Hahaha....

Anyway,It's quite sweet, even though it's not very impressive. Hope you guys like it!

Have a nice weekend, my dear friends. :)



Wait.... something has come into my mind. May be this is the real present I am talking about.

See, this is my daughter... A curvy sleep? hahahaha...... I like it!

I am going to Hong Kong for New Year

I have been to Hong Kong twice actually. By this year end, I am going for the third time. Frankly, I don't really like Hong Kong in the past. Hopefully this time with new Disneyland around, I will feel more enjoyable. ( All of the sudden, I noticed that I had never publish anything about my previous Hong Kong trips. Obviously, It's definitely not a so called "unforgettable" experience! hehe) Also because it is way back before I start blogging. :)

Anyway, I am quite excited for this coming Hong Kong trip on December 28. December 28? Yeah... which mean I am going to celebrate my New Year in overseas this time, fantastic isn't it? I am looking forward for it as this is the first time I celebrate my New Year out of Malaysia for the past 26 years since I was born. I think this time is going to be a memorable trip! Sure it will be as this is the first time I step into Disneyland too! hahahaha..... So fun! Hooray!

LOL! Actually I want to share with you some of my photos took in Hong Kong but can't make it as my scanner, printer and photocopier, 3 in 1 is down together as I mentioned earlier in the here.

Tag: Most Embarrassing Moment

Ar.... this helpful mummy that seems busy nowadays sent me this tag. I think she's dying to know how embarrassing I used to be! Ha! Should I tell her? Why must you ask me to tell everyone my most embarrassing moment? Doesn't it mean I have to be embarrass once again? LOL!

Anyway, I can't tell you my most embarrassing moment cause someone is going to kill me for that. So..... no choice. Pick another one , k? Yeah... throughout my 26 years of life, I have quite some embarrassing moments. Very "suei" hor...

I remembered there was one occasion when I went to The Snake Temple in Penang on the sixth day of CNY. (because that's the day the temple will showcase all it's snake in it. Something like that....) So, I went happily with many of my family members. I dressed up nicely for this big day of course, with high heels. And, I think every time when I wore a new pair of high heels, I will walk slowly and nicely, just to make sure it will be kept in a good condition. So, I just walk gently and graceful steps by steps, even when I am walking on the stairs.

After I am inside the temple, my mum pass me the josstick. Then, I still walk like a super model in the big crowd carrying the stick that is already burning. So proud of my beautiful dress and heals! Then, pik...piak...Aaaaaaa....huh? Is she flying? Why is she shouting? Can you tell me what's going on with this girl? And, all of the sudden, Oooo.... she fell on her own. Hahahahahaha....

I really heard some of them laughing, and who are they? How come there are so many of them? There could be easily 100 pairs of eyes looking at me now! What have I done? How come I just fell down on my own out of the sudden? And, what makes me fly so far away? Yeah.... I don't fell straight away. There is a big pavement in front of the temple, and I actually fell and fly from one end to the other end. The worst thing is... this part is quiet empty. So, everyone from every corner could easily get a great view without block on how I fell with just one turn of their head.

Some how, will you not laugh looking at a 20+ lady fall on her own until she has slept on the floor without any push or slip. Yeah... I knocked my head badly, even my hands and back were hurt. My face was dirty like a kid playing in the mud. Oh... What am I gonna do? What more? There is no place for me to hide. No prince charming for me to lean on. All I can do is just step up on my own again and continue praying like nothing happened, since everyone has not finished their praying task! LOL! Mum... I need a tissue to clean my face first! This old lady ( my mum) is actually half laughing while passing the tissue to me and asked, "are you alright?"

" hehe... of course! of course! I am ok!"
"Are you sure? Your hand is slightly bleeding, did you notice that?"
"Oh... of course, I did! Nothing serious... Nothing! hehe... Don't worry about me. Just continue your prayers."
"OMG! Can't you just finished it fast? So that I can go home now? Don't ask anymore, mum! Just keep going! Don't you get it? I wanna go home now! As soon as possible!"

hahahahahahaha.... What a big "ang pau" for that new year, isn't it?

The moral of this embarrassing incidence is ... Don't wear a long tight skirt if you can't carry it well. Or else... Surprise, Surprise! Ha! That's all for this tag. LOL! So embarrassing! Chao!

Another option to earn income from home

Now, vendstar has provide us another option to work at home. This could just be another good news for all of us who are stay at home mum or those who are planning to quit their job to take care of their kids at home.

In fact, there are so many benefits as we invest into vending machines, because:

1. They are 100% cash business
2. They do their own advertising
3. Earn up to an 80% profit margin
4. Work part-time with a full-time potential incomes
5. Requires no overhead and no employees
6. Requires no office, rent or utilities
7. Gain the tax advantages of self-employment
   

I think I should seriously considered this investment as it sounds more lucrative than writing paid post. And, it really involves very flexible hours. Isn't it what we are looking for as a mother who always concern about financial independence and still wanted to be around with our kids.

Do you believe it?

All of my blog load terribly slow today. Can anyone tell me why? Feel so frustrated! Do you read your horoscope report every now and then? Are you someone just like me who believed in horoscope?

According to the reading, one of the 9 planet, Mercury is going to retrograde soon. Once Mercury retrograde, most of the electronic or electrical things will suddenly break down. So, always remember to back up your important info save in the computer or hand phone. Also, our communication tends to go very slow, a lot of delays. Hardly find new projects, but things which is not progressing in the past will suddenly go smooth during this period. As usual, every change there is good and bad.

And, this Mercury retrograde period may start earlier, mostly is two weeks earlier. Thus, my printer cum photocopier cum scanner, this 3 in 1 had break down when we terribly need it. My three alarm clock in the house together run out of batteries during last Mercury retrograde period. HA! Do you think I still can ignore it's influence by now? hehe....

This is definitely not a sponsored review. I am just sharing with you people one of my hobby, reading horoscope of the month since today is the 2nd day of the month. Exactly the right time to read! hehe....

Check out my previous post, which I post it quite some time ago. There you will find the link to more than 100 free horoscope reading for you to refer. Hope you love it like me! Have a nice day, my friend!

Turn my favurite photo into laptop or mobile phone skin

I bought my hand phone in 2005. And, the cover is getting old and can see the scratches or marks on it if we look closely. I felt so uneasy as this my sweet Christmas gift from Hubby. And, this mobile phone was bought almost the same time when my grandfather was sick but still alive. Thus, it always remind me of my grandpa. Frankly, I still miss him a lot.

So, I am thinking of turning one of my family photo into the skin of my mobile phone through Skinit.com. May be I can do it for my laptop too. SkinIt is also one of the leading providers of game console skins, including Microsoft game device skins, which is the Xbox 360 with precision. All these Xbox skins are very easy to remove. And, it is so convenient that I can even reapply it without leaving residue.

I am impress with the variety and creativity of artwork provided by Skinit.com. In fact, it might made a great gift to my brother as this is something relaly trendy. He will certainly love it if he has seen it! :)

Lastly, we can always order together to take advantage of the free shipping provided by SkinIt for orders above $40.

Dear Friend,


Re: Transfer of $18,000.000. (Eighteen Million U.S. Dollars)
First I must solicit your confidence in this transaction. This is by
virtue of its nature as being utterly confidential and top secret. We
shall be counting on your capability and reliability to prosecute a
transaction of great magnitude involving a pending business transaction
requiring maximum confidence.


We want to transfer to overseas {$18,000,000] Eighteen Million United
States dollars from Eco International Bank Nig Plc. I would like if you
will be capable and fit to provide either an existing Bank account or
to set up a new Bank account immediately to receive this money, even an
empty account can serve to receive this money as long as you will
remain honest to me till the end of this important business transaction.


I am Dr Bernard Okumagba Director of Accounts Department of Eco
International Bank plc, during the course of our auditing I discovered a
floating fund in an account opened with our Bank in 2000 and since 2002
nobody has operated on this account again, after going through some old
files in the records I discovered that the owner of the account died
without a heir hence the money is floating and if I do not remit this money
out urgently it will be forfeited for nothing.


The owner of this account was Engr. Anthony Hamill, a national of your
country an Industrialist. He died since 2002 and no other person knows
about this account or anything concerning it, the account has no
beneficiary and my investigation proved to me as well that Engr. Anthony
Hamill until his death was a Manager with an oil firm in Nigeria.


I am contacting you as a foreigner because this money can only be
approved to a foreigner with a foreign account because the money is in us
dollars and the former owner of the account Engr. Anthony Hamill is a
foreigner. I am revealing all these information to you with the believe
that you will never let me down in this business. You are the first and
the only person I am contacting for this business so please reply
urgently for me to tell you the next step to take.


You should forward the following information: Your telephone/fax
numbers and your Residential address which is also needed. You will have to
give me the assurance that when we meet this money will be intact
pending our physical arrival in your country for sharing and disbursement of
the fund which will be 35% for your assistance 60% will be for us while
5% will be set aside to take care of all the expenses that would be
incurred by both parties during the course of the transfer.

I look forward to your earliest response through my alternative email
address below (drbernardokumagba04@yahoo.fr ) for security reasons.

Yours faithfully,
Dr. Bernard Okumagba

Anyway, to me, this is more like a trap. I don't know... May be it's true? However, This type of email is terribly annoying! Don't you think so? I will never assume myself lucky to receive this type of mail. :)
