Kena tag by Msau, mom to SQ & Kiki....here is the 10 reasons why I marry my hubby from Tangkak...

1. Many of my friends suggest to me to hunt for boyfriend during University or college time, coz usually those who able enter this place wan should be good guy lar. LOL

2. He is friendly, understanding, caring, willing to share everything with me and has creative mind that attract my attention.

3. Tangkak is a fabric heaven. I love sewing and love to buy beautiful fabric too, so in Tangkak I can find any kind of fabric that I like.

4. He is quite good looking guy among other competitors lor…:P

5. After few years enter working life, I still cannot find other guy that better than him.

6. Tangkak quite near to my hometown, Melaka; I can go back very frequent.

7. My 6 sense told me: I will not regret marry him in future.

8. He helps me do household work during pak-tor time, I trust he is family type man and will do so after marry too. Until today he still helps me in household work.

9. Soft spoken type, never raise his voice to talk to me or even scold me.

10. He is NOT a smoker!

Ok, now I pass this tag to Mybabybay-Michelle, Grace & Jazzmint.

Meet+Think=Meeting

3 hours of meet + think = meeting! Can you imagine that?

I dislike meeting, since I start working. To me, meeting if no fruitful results come out, is a waste of time. Some more involved so many management level staff in the meeting. Hey, if you count the time spent and their salary, you will think it is a waste of time too. Sitting there for 3 hours, just listen to the top management scolding people, then after came out from meeting, everyone hi-ha-hi-ha, talk like old friend, if you are me, you will feel very irritating too! Of course la, I am joining the meeting too, they are wasting my time too…

Out from meeting, I have headache, really really headache. Feel tired and sianz. So I push aside all my work (die tomorrow), and do relaxing thing…blogging..blogging..blogging…and blog hopping….

Oh ya, I got the term MEET+THINK=MEETING from my colic, good term? LOL

Hair Trimming for the girls

Well, I am my girls' personal hairdresser all the time. Not that I am stingy to spend money on that but they, I mean Lyon & Wien, just refuse to let outsider to cut their hair. So, me being the creative mummy, I do it myself...:)...Of course, I have save money indirectly too!

I never learn on how to cut or trim hair actually, but I have the simple skill that born with me. My classmate, housemate and roommates, ever asked me trimmed their hair too during school or college life! So, I am pretty sure my skill is ok. .LOL

Wien is bigger now, slowly she can let my SIL#2 trim her hair (she is a hairdresser), so less worry for me. I only need to trim hair for Lyon. At this stage, Lyon love to cut hair, whenever she saw the scissor, she’ll come to me and ask for a trim. Sometimes her hair still not long but she insisted a trim too! *sigh* so I just pretend lar. Place a newspaper (cut a hole in middle) and wear on her, then she’ll happily sit still and let me do the trimming. Oh ya, one advise from me: take off their shirt and apply some baby powder before start the hair trimming, it will ease your after work cleaning then.

Lost Temper

Whenever during meal time, I will almost lost my temper, to Wien.

I had been blog about her slowness in taking meal numerous time, but it seem no improvement at all. I have to constantly remind her: eat eat eat....but she eyes still stick to the TV box and her mouth munch slowly, really slowly. At time we off the TV, then she start yelling. Hubby told me just ignore her, let her cry and threaten her to take away her meal. Only with this way, she will eat a bit faster. But I don't want to use this way all the time, it's look cruel to me. I wish her can behave and can eat like adult, so that in future she can join the meal with us.

Today, dinner time, I lost my temper again and I use hanger to smack her leg. Of course, she start crying but I have to ignore her. No choice. Slowly I am showing my power to her now, she NOT YET get a cane from me yet. But I know I should start practice canning now. I have to.

Heineken pay me finally! :)

Yeah, I am so happy today, extra pocket money in my paypal!

Had submitted this Heineken post for quite some time, before CNY but no news from Creamaid. At first I thought should be "tong guo shui" lor. Who know today I received an email informing there is fund coming in from Creamaid.

My colic also got his pay, same as me, both of us happily dancing on the floor today! Hahahaha.....hey, we really go - search and buy the Heineken!

Night Market

Went to night market just now, alone. usually I will bring along Wien and Lyon but time round I went alone. I am not going to buy anything from there, the reason I went is to exchange 3 panties from that auntie.

Before CNY, I bought a lot from her store, in a rush too, so I did not check properly while buying. Back home only realised the defect. Lucky she still remember me and allow me do the exchanging.

O

k, main point I wrote this post is, each time I went to night market, I can see at least 3 handicap person lying at the middle of the road, asking for contribution. I am pity them, I couldn't help much to them so usually I will give some money to them but frankly I did not give all the time. To me, how am I going to help all the time, plus the money I give also not much, 1 meal can settle the amount already. I always think how long they want to ask for people donation, how long they want to survive using this way? So many questions in my mind but I just couldn't help much. *sigh*

How Angry Are You?

Saw this test in Shannon blog, so I give it a try. It's description of me fairly true though....

You Are 47% Angry
Generally, you are not an angry person. But you're easily frustrated and enraged. You have one heck of a temper. And because of your anger, you tend to feel resentful and even spiteful. You already know how to quell your anger. You just need to do it more often.

It's time to check your teeth

How frequent your get your kids to go to dentist? Once a month or twice a month? Frankly my girls yet to enter any dentist at this age due to I am having problem to drag them go to dentist. Wien is 5 now and it's time for her to go there for teeth check up, but she just refuses to follow me. She scares the pain. I need more advice on this part from fellow blogger mummies.

Personally I also dislike to go to dentist unless my teeth is in pain or broken. But if someone can recommend me a well known dentist like charles brown dds pc that ever won awards for quality care, and then I might consider to give myself a try. Charles Brown DDS has been employed by Hayfield Dental Care for over ten years, and has a perfect record at the Virginia Board of Dentistry with a history of zero complaints.

Wow, seem like Dr Charles Brown is the dentist I am looking for, either for myself or my girls. If you are interested, you can give them a call at 703-971-2220.

Check your passport before travel

Our office supposes have 2 guests from Belgium yesterday, it is a couple from Belgium. They are our customer actually, come here is just to pay a visit to my boss. I am looking forward to meet them.

Early morning received a call from them, telling us that they unable to enter Malaysia due to the male's passport was going to expired. Expiry date is 14/04/2007; it is less than 6 months as requested by Immigration nationwide. Our immigration very efficient, spotted the date and on the spot NOT allow him enter flight from Thai to Malaysia. Surprising, he managed to catch the flight from Frankfurt to Thai, perhaps they did not notice the date. He tried to call Belgium Embassy in Thai, but need 2 weeks to process the passport. This is pretty for a businessman like him, so he called up my boss asks for help. Other wise he has to fly back to Belgium next few days. Then my boss roll back the ball to me, asked me called Malaysia Immigration, to ask for help.( *sianz* )

After I called.....our immigration also couldn't help on this too. Looks like he has to stay in Thai for few days lar...

Then, my boss felt bad, he said he can fly to Thai and meet them! Wow...since when he is so good ah!!? Immediately he book AA flight and will fly the next day!

Hooray! That's mean I will have holiday too! LOL...but it's already weekend lar....

Oh ya, don't forget to check your passport before travel ya!

Hubby's Blog

Yes, my hubby also own a blog now. But he only blog about his 6sigma knowledge there, NOT a rojak blog like mine! LOL...

Personally I am not familiar with 6sigma, also not understand the definition too. But doesn't matter since my field not require such knowledge too. What I know is 6sigma usually applicable to factory, especially in manufacturing field.

If you know something about 6sigma or have some comment on it, do feel free to share it in his blog, he welcome all sort of comment, no worry.

Consulting Business

I bet all of us would like to be a boss for own business, rather than just work as an employee. If you have the interest and some basic knowledge of running a consulting business, perhaps you can start now.

Dr. Mike Beitler has taught “How to Succeed in Consulting” workshops around the world and many participants have put his brilliant ideas to work immediately to starting a consulting business practice. They even have make tens of thousands of dollars more in consulting fees every year. Amazing isn’t it?

Well, you can learn all his tips and ideas through his books, keynote speeches and training workshops; the best part, its simple enough so that anyone can easily learn the secrets to becoming a successful business consultant.

Besides that Dr. Mike Beitler is now sharing his knowledge in a new special report titled “How to Get Started in Consulting” for only $12.95. In this report he reveals little known tricks and ideas of successful consulting and with his report, you don’t have to ‘go it alone’ as an independent consultant. He has all the guidance that you need.

Nearly Kena Bang by Lorry

This morning got a bad news via SMS from hubby :

Lucky. Today almost bang by a lorry from behind at Air Keroh traffic light. De lori smash don't know how many cars due to brake failure. I guess is 20 cars.

Quickly I called him to check on him. It was a container trailer that bang those 20 cars, his car was as first car. Till his car, the container trailer already stopped. Really thank GOD this time! Else I am sure his car sure kemek wan!

See tomorrow news on Melaka side, perhaps you can read more from there.

During office hour....

Hubby email-ed me that he gained RM1.00 from stock market recently. My reaction was : WoW Wow! That's a lot ler.....my understanding is RM1 in share market term, which mean it is 1k to me.

I didn't know that we actually can book our scuba diving activity via internet nowadays! See, how out-dated I am!

Scubadu is the site that cater for scuba diving lover, it’s a luxury Catamaran, specializing in private sailing excursions in the USVI and British Virgin Islands.

Other than scuba diving and sailing, st thomas catamaran also offer sunset and dinner cruises. Sound great?

New Canteen Owner

Our factory canteen change owner again. Dunno this one can last how long.

To me, previous owner is ok, food acceptable to me too. But our choosy workers complaining that their food charge is too high. I don't know they are find fault on them or it is real excuses. Later on our HR lazy to entertain the complaints (even though they did investigate the price and verify with canteen owner), and just terminate their service and look for new one.

After our factory implementing coupon system to all staff and worker, sometimes I will go canteen to pack my lunch. Not becos the food very nice but sometimes my lazy butt just lazy to go out, especially now the weather is extremely HOT.

Change owner also good lar, at least we can try for new food...hehehe...

Drink Water On Empty Stomach

Another good piece of advise I get from net.

All of us know drink more water is good for our health, but did u know that this practice can cure some diseases? OK, I am going to share this with you now.

It is popular in Japan today to drink water immediately after waking up every morning. Furthermore, scientific tests have proven its value that show this practise can cure old and serious diseases as well as modern illnesses. Below are the list found successful by a Japanese medical society as a hundred percent cure as a result of water treatment:

1. Headache

2. Body ache

3. Heart system

4. Arthritis

5. Fast heart beat

6. Epilepsy

7. Excess fatness

8. Bronchitis

9. Asthma

10. TB

11. Meningtitis

12. Kidney and Urine diseases

13. Vomiting gastritis

14. Diarrhea

15. Piles

16. Diabetes

17. Constipation

18. All eye diseases

19. Womb cancer

20. Menstrual disorders

21. Ear nose

22. Throat diseases

Water Treatment

1. As you wake up in the morning before brushing teeth, drink four glasses of water each of 160 ml.

2. Brush and clean the mouth but do not eat or drink anything for 45 minutes.

3. After 45 minutes you may eat and drink as normal.

4. After 15 minutes of breakfast, lunch and dinner do not eat or drink > anything for two hours.

5. Those who are old or sick and are unable to drink four glasses of water at the beginning may commence by taking little water and gradually increase it to four glasses per day.

6. The above method of treatment will cure diseases of the sick and others can enjoy a healthy life.

This treatment method has no side effects, however at the commencement > of treatment you may have to urinate a few times.

Good Health to you all.......

Holiday Plan

Since hubby's company going to organize one trip for all staff and their family member, I am anxiously waiting for this date. Later on I have one question in my mind: what if this trip not successful? That's mean we have to get ready alternative plan, coz I already planned to have one trip for this year.

Then I started to surf on net to look for great deal as well as those budget trips. So many websites we can choose from the net but All Inclusive Vacation Package at vacations.net that attract me the most!

Parcel Not Arrive

One Ebay customer email-ed me yesterday night, informed that she yet to receive my parcel that sent on last Saturday, 03/03! I am shock to hear this coz I am using courier service to send, it should arrive by 05/03 as promised.

I feel cheated by their service, I have pay more for their service (instead of registered post) yet this is the return I get. I start feel not satisfy.

Reach office the next day, I quickly call the CS to find out. The reason they give is they couldn't find the house and the phone given no one answering!!! Aiyo, should tell me earlier ma rather than my customer come and tell me.....Immediately I email to my customer to verify on all these, hopefully she can get her item by today!

Audit 2nd Day

Today is the 2nd day of audit, everything seem going smooth.

Good sign for us, at least if we pass this round, then we can have another round of celebration; and the best best part is no need prepare and type again those boring documentations.

I hate MR meeting actually, coz it took up lot of my time; plus the meeting is so so boring, I'll fall asleep most of the time. Hey, they are talking those technical thing sometimes, which is not my field, sure boring lar!

Pray hard we can pass this round, then the boss got no reason to delay our Genting trip anymore! Hooray!

Wedding Reception

Who is going to marry this year? Let me know ya, I am going to introduce you a great site for your wedding and reception catering here.

Wow, it has so many restaurant, are you tempted to try it out?

Salesman....again

Another salesman approach Wien's school yesterday. They are promoting some so called educational VCD, either in English version or Chinese Version. I dislike all so I told her I am not going to order for her, not even one.

As expected, Wien start begging me to buy one for her. I still say NO to her, then she go and beg her papa. I hinted to hubby : NO. Not that we stingy to spend that money, but we dunno how's the quality of the content, plus we can get more choice of good quality CD via SIL#3 since she is a school teacher. So we very reluctant to purchase this for her.

*sigh* This girl of mine not understand all these, all she want is her friends have it, she also want it.....

SMS from hubby

I don't like to receive SMS from hubby around 6pm++, coz I know if he SMS me at this hour, he is going to tell me: I am late today, take your dinner first.

To me, eating alone is very bored and sianz. I rather wait for him and eat together, but if it's too late, then I'll eat first. I cannot let my empty making noise too.

Maybe it sound weird to some of you, but that’s me lar. It’s my quality time with my hubby too during our meal time. I don’t want to miss this hour if possible.

Business Credit Cards

Credit card very useful nowadays, it seem most of us couldn't live without it. To me, the main reason I carry a credit card is to pay for my insurance premium and monthly utilities (I tend to forget if not using the auto debit features), petrol cost and shopping stuff, and some urgent needs if any. Carry too much cash also not safe now, you might worry of handbag being snatched.

There are so many credit card being introduced in market now, you have to choice the best that suit you. CardFusion.com proudly to announce that their secure credit card portal has become even better and easier to use. They have effective financial tools that can make our decisions easy, quick and more accurate!

Yeah, PayPerPost start paying me money now!! I am so happy today while checking my mailbox moment ago! 3 posts being paid together, that’s mean I have extra income today.

I think from today onwards I am going to receive money in USD almost daily. As I blog before, I am going to save and keep this money for my future travel fund.

Italy and Austria......our next vacation destination.

Ban on Fa Cai

Last week Tracy blog about one of her very close friend gave a fa cai as CNY gift. Later she found out the fa cai was actually given by her as a gift during CNY LAST year and NOW the item already EXPIRED (2.1.07)! She very upset over this incident!

But yesterday I got a news from internet, said that fa cai now is a ban item in HK. The reason given was fa cai has no nutritioanl value and it contain a toxic amino acid that could affect the normal functions of nerve cells. I told her this is good for her, at least she no chance to eat more fa cai which is a ban item now....hehehe...

Actually me not very fond of fa cai, partly due to this item no taste at all, and it looks ugly and geli to me. Usually I'll dig it out if it was serve in the dish that we order in restaurant. :)

Audit

We have audit today and tomorrow. This is the second time coz we fail during the first audit. Due to this, all of us seem very busy since morning, need to stand by and offer our hands if needed. I mean in terms of documentation lar. The main reason we fail during 1st time audit was due to improper documentation presented when the auditor asked for it. All of know who suppose to blame for the failure but no action being taken. Other dept head already done their best part but at the end still fail at his hand....I hope the person in charge know his situation now, he better work hard on it and not just slacking like that.

Work from home

If I asked many of my blogger mummies: who want to work from home? I bet sure many of them will raise up their hands, if possible, raise up their legs too! LOL

Ya, it's a dream for we career women to be SAHM (stay at home mom) and if possible to be able to work at home too; especially for those who having kids at home.

New Trendy Hat

Who is this?

Oh, it's Wien lar....she is wearing 50% ready done DIY tanglong (made from ang pow packet). My second sister wish to learn the art, so she get my brother to do demo for her. After finished 50% of it, she want to bring back the tanglong to KL and DIY at home. But playful Wien, took it and put on her head; and told us this is her NEW HAT! LOL

After that, she put on Jame's head (2nd sister's boy) naughty mummy quickly snap the picture before he threw away the hat. :P

Discount Disney Tickets

We used to play slide show of our digital pictures on our TV, just to let the girls have the chance to view in bigger image.

Last night hubby is free, so he on the slide show again; when played until Disneyland Hong Kong part, Lyon starts shouting:

“Wow, Mickey Mouse….”

“Wow, Goofy …”

“Wow, jie jie take picture with Snow White…..”

“Mummy, I want to go there.”

“Mummy, I want to take picture with Pooh ler…”

Poor girl, she so jealous at her sister Wien that can take picture and even touch those Disney characters. No worry, my dear, and mummy sure one day will bring you to Disney World.

If we plan to go Disney World in near future, I think I’ll take a look at Orlandofuntickets.com site, as this site is the ultimate source for discount disney tickets for Disney World and all Orlando theme parks, dinner shows and attractions. Why we select Orlando? Coz the Disney in Florida, Orlando is the first Disney in the world, so this place is a MUST visit in my next itinerary.

I want fishball!

While preparing Wien to school, she told me she want to eat fishball that sell in school canteen. My reaction is : huh? how come suddenly she request this? coz usually she will only take milk or MILO as breakfast, no other thing.

OK, since this is her first time request, for breakfast I mean; I will just buy for her. It's a good sign for me too since she start eating something rather than just drinking.

Reached school, we headed to canteen to get the fishball first. After fishball past to her, she seem very excited, quickly run back to class. Then I saw she showed the fishball to her classmate, and I heard she said: see, I also got fishball today!

Now I know why she ask for fishball, she just want to follow her classmate, what they have, she must have.

Will I spoil her by listening to her request? I hope not. For food, I will buy and fulfill her request, but not for luxury items. Hubby and my concept is if they want any luxury thing, they have to work hard and get it, not through any request from us. Got to let them learn and understand money is not easy to earn now.

Blogitive coming back soon!

I just back from Msau's blog, saw a good news there! She said Blogitive offer coming back soon. This is good news for some of us, since many of TigaP offer we cannot take now due to segmentation.

Some blogger suggest to have own domain, then might increase our chance to get more offer; me still indecisive whether want to do so or not. Got own domain also good, I can advertised my homemade dresses too.

ok, will discuss this with hubby tonight.

For Your Health Concern

If you want to have long life or live longer than average age, then you better read this:

Heart Attacks and drinking warm water

This is a good article. Not only about the warm water after your meal, but about heart attacks. We, Chinese and Japanese drink hot tea with their meals...not cold water...maybe it is time to let other know its benefit!

Nothing to lose, everything to gain...

For those who like to drink cold water, this article is applicable to you. It is nice to have a cup of cold drink after a meal. However, the cold water will solidify the oily stuff that you have just consumed. It will slow down the digestion. Once this "sludge" reacts with the acid, it will break down and be absorbed by the intestine faster than the solid food. It will line the intestine.

Very soon, this will turn into fats and lead to cancer. It is best to drink hot soup or warm water after a meal.

A serious note about heart attacks: You should know that not every heart attack symptom is going to be the left arm hurting. Be aware of intense pain in the jaw line.

You may never have the first chest pain during the course of a heart attack. Nausea and intense sweating are also common symptoms. 60% of people who have a heart attack while they are asleep do not wake up. Pain in the jaw can wake you from a sound sleep. Let's be careful and be aware. The more we know the better chance we could survive...

A cardiologist says if everyone who gets this mail sends it to 10 people, you can be sure that we'll save at least one life. Read this...It could save your life!!

Hey, tell your friends today!

Feedreader

I seldom on my feedreader now, and I guess it'll be over hundreds of update inside my feed once I start running it. The reason I hardly on it is because once I see the icon show any new updates, I couldn't resist and I tend to click it and read, even though I was pile up with so many work load at that time, I still click it and read!!! Charm lor, like that I will never got the time to finish my job in a day.

So the best way is to off it, concentrate on my job and I only do blog hopping via clicking from my blog whenever I have free time. But then , I cannot get updated news if I practice this way.

Dun worry, I will still read your blog!

My Tack Rating

I don't know my tack rating in TigaP before this, until one day I checked with other blogger, then only I realized where to check.

I checked on Monday, 26/02, it showed my tack is ZERO ler! No wonder many offers I cannot, probably due to Zero tack I think. Even my is PR4 yet it still show RED in my list. No choice, no way I can change the tack myself, all I need to do is to write better in future.

Wednesday, 28/02, I checked again the rating, it showed 3 tack! Yeah, I am happy with the rating, at least not Zero anymore! LOL! No idea why suddenly show tack in my blog, is it becos I install the disclosure badge that work?

Another thing I have to work hard is, to reduce the alexa score for this blog, it's too high. This alexa score also cause me cannot take many opps too! *sigh* Sifu, please help!

Holiday Soon! Yeah!

As promised to Wien and Lyon, we are going to bring them for holiday this year, for sure. At first we plan to go Singapore, but Lyon yet to her first passport, so plan postpone.

But yesterday got good news from hubby, he said his company's club is organizing trip to Club Med, Cherating, asked me wanna join or not? Without thinking twice, I quickly replied him: of course, and I want to bring the girls along too! Hey, this is considering Lyon's first outstation trip ler. Poor girl, since born we never bring her outstation, not even step into KL City yet.

The trip is under survey stage now, if can get enough people to join, then probably we can go during mid April. I believe sure many will join coz the company subsidy 50% for the trip. Let's hope this trip can come true!

Market Big Drop

In my earlier post (you can read from here and here), mentioned that have to throw in hand stock before CNY, else the market might drop then. This exactly happen yesterday and today as well, they even said it was BLACK TUESDAY for the market. Main reason was due to T+3 and affected by CHINA market too.

Lucky hubby left not many counter in hand, else he will lost more money now. Playing in share market is a risk there, if you brave (but not too brave lar), then you can make money out of it.

China people crazy share market now, they thought it was easy money, but in fact not. If they not invest wisely, believe they will lose their whole wealth. No joke.

Lost

Received shock news yesterday evening. One of my Malay colleague’s baby was detected no heartbeat; she is enter 5th month pregnancy now.

All the time she went to goament clinic for check up, and the clinic only arrange her for the scanning in month 5th. I remember I ever asked her go private clinic at least once before she enter 3rd month, but she said goament clinic also got scanning wan, dun worry. To me, first 3 month is the most critical period, if your baby is safe in these 3 months, I can tell you are going to have healthy baby in next 6 months time. I am not bias goament clinic by the way, but I am just not happy why the scanning only takes place after 4-5 months??

So what happen to her then? No choice, the doctor did D&C and take out the unborn baby. I am sure she’ll be very sad now, she is difficult to conceive, and after marriage nearly 1 year only gets pregnant. Now lost the baby, only those who ever lost baby (like me) understand her feeling now. Really hope she can go through this period.

But after some time, I feel this dish not bad. Oh ya, this is hakka dish. Dunno other dialect cook this dish or not? Anyone?

The cooking very simple too, after fragant the onion and garlic, just pour eggplant and local basic into the wok. Nearly ready then add some salt for seasoing.

Another Booming night

Today is 9th day of CNY, and our Hokkien races people celebrated another round of this festive. They do another round of praying at night and of course they will light up the firework and firecracker as well!

We sleep around 11pm, but exactly at 12mid night, we can hear BOOMING here and there already! Wien sound asleep as she skips her afternoon nap, but Lyon wake up. She wants me cover her ears cos too LOUD for her. Lucky she not frightened by the loud sound when she sleep, else sure she cry non stop. I cover her ears and continue sleeping; but hubby cannot sleep back and this causes him lack of sleep. *sigh*

Hey, where are those people? I thought they want to catch those who play firecracker and fireworks wan?

Safeguard the Web for Children

I’ve been tagged by Miche. Join this campaign, it's for the good of our kids'future!

The project Blogger Power is a campaign to safegard the internet for children against pornography.

A Request To All Webmasters Of Adult Sites:

“Please require a password-protected login before allowing even free access to explicit adult content. We understand that selling porn is your business and we respect your right to make a legal living. But understand our legitimate concerns and work with us. You already have the “warning adult content” on your websites. Yet kids, who are not legal customers of your product, ignore the warning. So to prevent them from having direct access to explicit images, texts and sounds, the simplest way is to have a password-protected login. No more “free tours” before a visitor supplies basic information.”

I have to tag 20 bloggers (but I only able to find 10)to participate in this champaign : davidbong, jasonmumbles, freelance, snoopy go-go, julian, tracy, msau, mybabybay,michmaylee, shannonchong.

Wow...heavy rain now!

Yahoooooo....finally raining day come, heavy rain some more! I love it!

...hey the rain can wash away those heat man. It's really hot I tell you, I cannot stand those heat! Hot weather will cause the girls fall sick too and I have to keep reminding them to take more plain water.

At least after some rain, the weather not so warm, then tonight we can have a good night sleep then.

My Ebay

It's time to relist all my items in My Ebay now. Before CNY break, I no time to do all these, due to hectic work load.

20 over items in my ebay now, really need lot of time to relist them. Usually I do in one go, either lunch break or nearly knock off time. This year, I got to do more promo for my DIY dresses, since the sales for CNY not bad..hahaha....

After all these settle down, I have to write an email to MamaBok and others mummies, to ask for their girls' measurement. Hopefully I can get more sale this year! Yipeeeee!

Back to Work

Today I am officially start working already, so sianz! But one good thing is my boss still off, that's mean I still can do my own thing today! LOL

Actually I still have some pending work which not yet settle before I go for my leave; so now is the time to get all done, if possible.

Tomorrow night my boss call for open house for CNY, this year most likely I'll attend as previous I never attend his function. I'll tag along the 2 girls too, see whether they got luck to get any ang pow from my boss or not! :)

Hot Weather

Same as previous year, weather during CNY is very very hot. This weather always make me lazy to go out for visiting; I rather stay at home, either sleep or eat non stop or wait for friends to come over...hehe...you can say me siao if you want.

1st day of CNY still not so hot due to little raining, but 2nd day and 3rd day ( which is today lar), the weather is crazy! It's hot like sauna, I keep sweating so does the 2 girls. I even lost count how many times I had taken my bath, just to wash away those heat and sweat!

Now I wish rain rain please come now!

What's wrong with her?

I don’t understand her.

Each time when she came to our house, sure she‘ll compare the height between Wien and her daughter. Ya la, ya la, her daughter is taller than Wien, but not necessary to tell and say everyday, right? So sianz, whenever I heard she said: aiyo, still ah sim taller than you ler! You have to eat more lar! Bla bla bla….

Kanasai…..none of your business if my girl shorter that anyone. To me, height is not the best way to tell who is better than whom. Hey, why not compare who is cleverer? I am sure Wien is much much than her girl, in any aspect! (hehehe….aiyo, me also do comparison now * slap forehead*

Friday, February 16, 2007

Done!

Yahoooooooo.....finally I finished sewing dresses for my girls, I think they get enough cloth and dresses this year. 4 for each! They can perform fashion show this year, as some dresses I make it pretty kembang, they can fly and turn turn turn...LOL!

Also I sew on little flowers onto dresses that I ordered from Ebay.com; cute flower match with pretty dresses, what a match! :P Thanks to Michelle for bringing back just in time for me! Also big thanks to Vien for her kindness (allow me using her address as postage address). Not forget to say thanks for your cute Hello Kitty bag! My 2 girls love it!

Thank guys!

Finally......bonus out today!

Yeah, finally our long awaiting bonus is OUT today! This is surely a good news to everyone of us, operator especially! Previous year we only getting our bonus after Chinese New Year, what a pity hor!

Tomorrow is CNY already, couldn't believe this year so fast it arrive, how times fly.

I not yet pack my ang pow (red packet), looks like I have to do it during CNY eve after reunion dinner....as usual. This year I can get helper to help me, Lyon and Wien of course...hopefully they will not mess up my money! LOL

Thursday, February 15, 2007

Market up further! Yeah!

HE know chinese need cash to spend during CNY, and HE granted their wish in another way now! Hahaha.....of course money not fall from sky lar!

If you gamble in stock market, I am sure now you laugh till cannot see your eyes already! Just like Wien laugh this way.

Ya, share market up up up recently, grab as much as you can now. One advise from my dear hubby, be sure to cabut before CNY ya. You have to sell off your counter before CNY, else you will make a lost(depend which counter you purchase), dont say I no tell early ya!

People hoping to grab money from market now, hoping can spend happily during this festive; in fact they are the one who make the market up now! FIL also one of the gambler in share market, that's how my hubby follow his steps. But counter they buy is totally different, different people different view mah! But both 笑哈哈 now! You know what I mean? :P

Last night FIL told us he gain again...no wonder these few days he bought lot of stuff la, including 1 crates of Calberg! We hardly buy liquor actually. He added this year, all money spent was his grabbing from market! Wow, I can imagine how much he gain ler! I guess my MIL also laugh till cannot see eyes already, cos as I know, whenever FIL making money from market, he will give some to her as token!

Let's hope my girls can get big ang pow from him this year! ..my turn 笑哈哈! LOL

I need a vacation!

Recently really tied up with work load, sometimes I wish I can resign and be a stay at home mom (SAHM). But I need money, with hubby's income alone, I don't think we can survive! Things nowadays not cheap too, let alone the medical fee! *touch wood*

I told hubby I want to have a trip this year, and bring along the girls too! Last year we no go anywhere, partly due to tight working schedule, plus my bad luck having the ectopic incident! But this year, I promised to Wien and Lyon, that mummy going to bring them somewhere for a break! :P

Well, when planning for a trip, definitely we need to book hotel as our accommodations. The best and fastest way to check out best deal is via surfing internet. I found hotel reservations have some great prices on hotels nationwide. They also include airline tickets booking. I love this way as I can make booking for hotel as well as air ticket with just one click in one site. Hotel Reservations currently having a rebate program too; they offer up to $100 depending on how many nights of our stays. Great deal isn't it?

Hi Dear, I need a vacation this year! Did you hear that? *wink**wink*

Busy Busy Busy

This week seems a busy week for me, usually b4 CNY, I am quite free....*sigh* all due to audit taking place this week lor. Me as one of the committee member, have to join, cannot hide or run away this responsibility. The worst part is I have to get ready the Management Review minutes by today and the meeting only finished by 4pm yesterday! That's within 24 hours ler....here goes off my paid post opportunity!

BTW, I had stop taking any order for sewing, told my blogger after CNY only I can sew for them. Lucky they got objection. Main reason was: I still owe my 2 dot dot some dresses, if not sew ah, sure they contest me wan!

I wish to have more time please!

Tuesday, February 13, 2007

Final Decision!

Ok, finally I make up my mind for my CNY planning. I want to stay overnight at my mom's house this year!

Hubby agreed but with conditions: get ready 纹网 (mosquito net), either sew or buy. Main of his concern is my mom's house has mosquito and those clever mosquitos clever too. They only choose stranger to suck blood or small kids cos their skin and blood sweeter mah! Also he reminds me DONT forget to bring back mosquitor repellent too! Aiyo, so many thing to remember, what if I forget?

Hehehe...he said if I forgot, then on same day he will drive all of us back to Tangkak to sleep, then next day go again....tsk..tsk...tsk...he so kua chong hor!

But yesterday Egghead told me he might come to Tangkak during CNY, and then I have to reschedule my planning again. I hope to meet them too, especially the little hero, LLS! :)

Sunny Sunday

Another hot hot sunny day, we did not go out this weekend, I need to rush out Jefferene's YC dresses, hopefully can send out next Monday. If not, it will be too late to be YC's CNY dresses.

After YC's dresses, I have to make some for my own gals. Other wise Lyon will keep begging me again. They have 2 each now, but I wish to let them have more dresses this year, cos they love to pan leng leng now.

But Miche had additional order for her Kiki, wow, this CNY I really busy ler! Busy sewing...:P

Saturday, February 10, 2007

It's Up!

Hey, Hubby's Yi Lai up already! Start making money now. If you follow his tips, perhaps you also making money now. Are you? Treat me coffee at Starbucks if you really earn money from this counter!

Michelle said my hubby can create a blog and blog on his share market tips, I relied this message to him couple days ago; but he refused. Reason: he doesn't want anyone of you come back to him if you making loss from his tips given. He doesn't want to be bad guy then.

It's really up to individual liking, some people prefer tips from others but some not. Hubby is the type that NOT listen to any tips, he'll do his own study and analysis before he really go and buy any counter. Of course not all counter that he bought will increase price lar. Good luck to those who gamble in share market ya! Including my hubby too!

Disneyland, here we come!

My last vacation was Hong Kong and China trip, that was in year 2005. It has been 1 year plus that we didn't go anywhere, partly due to Lyon still small. During the trip, we managed to enter Hong Kong Disneyland! That's a wonderful trip for Wien. Too bad, we didn't bring along Lyon. Anyway, we are planning one vacation for this year; of course we'll tag along Lyon this time.

Lyon been asking many times when we can bring her to Disneyland, after she saw those pictures taken in Disneyland HK. She told us she wants to take picture with Pooh, Mickey Mouse, Donald Duck etc...hehehe...poor girl. Mummy promised you, one day mummy surely will bring you to Disneyland! But have to be good girl first ya!

We had been Disneyland Paris in year 2003 and Disneyland HK in year 2005. Next, which Disneyland to go? Got to find more information now, looks like Orlandovacation.com did offer good packages for Disney world packages in Orlando.

By booking their package, we no need to worry on hotel accommodations as well as the entrance ticket to Disneyland. Orlandovacation.com will settle all these for us, because they have participating hotels that can assist in getting cheaper ticket prices. If you couldn't find any packages that suit you, you can even customised your own packages, call their friendly reservationists at 1-800-641-4008 now to find more information.

Yi Lai? 二奶?

yesterday hubby told me he wants to keep 2 Yi Lai.

My respond: WTH?? What Yi Lai are you talking? He said: Yi Lai can make money for me lar. Dun worry lar...blablabla..

What dun worry, in my mind, I already started feeling uneasy. I am sure you know what Yi Lai (二奶)in my mind. And of course I also start shooting him with many many questions! But he kept me in suspense, just mentioned this 2 Yi Lai going to give him money very soon! Wow...how can I just keep quiet wor if he keeps mentioning Yi Lai, Yi Lai in front of me! **##**@@@

This topic was talked during our dinner time, when he still keep me suspend, I just keep quiet....he know I mistaken Yi Lai to another term of Yi Lai (BMW=Black Market Women). At last he told me the truth..hahaha....Yi Lai was one his counter bought in share market yesterday. He foresee it will up anytime, so he managed to grab 2 counter lor....aiyo, this company's name really same pronunciation with Yi lai (二奶)ler....tsk tsk tsk!

Hey, this is a tip to those share market gambler, go grab it now, cos usually hubby's favourite counter will up after he had done the analysis!

Hey, they really treat this CNY as big festive lar.

Don't Disturb Me!

Usually I'll call Lyon & Wien around noon time, just to have short chit chat with them or check out what they do now. Other than noon time, I'll also call them when I am bored in office!

Just now, I make a call to them. Guess what Wien told me over the phone?

"Don't disturb me now, I want to do homework!"

"Oh, so serious ah?"

"Yes la, after finish homework, I want to help MaMa do some cleaning"

"Good! Good! Go do homework now!"....I am so happy as she is so good girl at this moment (ya at this moment only, usually she only mess up the house only!)

Stay or not stay?

Before having kids, I used to over night at my mum's place during CNY.

With Wien alone, I still able to sleep over for one or nights. She quite easy to handle when she is newborn actually.

But after Lyon born, Wien and myself never been sleep over there anymore. Mainly due to Lyon SCARE of stranger!!!! When Wien is small, she also scare of stranger but if me within her eyesight, she still ok. But not for Lyon, she'll cry cry cry when she saw them, this including my dear mum too! We back to Melaka quite often too but she still cries whenever we are there. *sigh* This girl of mine really like a koala bear, I tell you.

This year, she is 2+ already, less crying at my mum place. But during festive season, I am sure many of my relatives will come and visit us, ah ha...this cannot guarantee she will not cry wor! Headache for me ler....I wish to over night, to catch up more with my dear sisters and brother, also Wien would love to stay back too, cos there got so many kids around, she love to play with them!

For past 2 years, we drive to and flow in 1st and 2nd day of CNY. Distance is 45min drive from my place to my mum's, consider not so far. Well this year, I just wish I can sleep over!

Dear Lyon, please corporate with mummy ya!

Let's Heinekan

Chinese New Year is approaching, soft drinks is a must items in my shopping list.

Last weekend hubby and I already went out to shop for soft drinks, sales is everywhere, now is the best time to shop for cheap stuff too! Same as previous year Heineken is one of our choice for adult drinks. For kids we'll let them have 100Plus or POP drink, but have to restrict them too as drink too much gassy drinks also not good for health.

When we put one crates of Heineken in the trolley, Wien was very excited because she thought it was another soft drinks like Coca Cola. She keep giggling in the trolley and whispered to me that she want a can when reach home! LOL

Well, hubby and I still prefer Heineken from Europe, Germany especially! During our trip to Europe in year 2003, we drank lot of Heineken there. Heineken there was in big can too (750ml if not mistaken) as compare to Heineken that sell in Malaysia. I have to share with hubby only can finish one can. Further I noticed the taste was so much nicer, not so bitter as compare to Heineken Malaysia too! Wonder why like that? *Scratch head*

See, how excited Wien is while in the trolley? :P

Cheong Sam

I just ask a favour from my BIL (who currently involve in international ebay), to list my cheong sam at his site. He been dealing with oversea customer many times, he is more experience than me in this field. I was hoping to gain more money, so decided to sell this suit at his site, hopefully got buyer fall in love with my cheong sam.

This cheong sam made from cotton material, I love it at first sight I tell you. If cannot sell off, I am going to reserve for Wien as her CNY clothing. But if sold out, I still can buy from the shop again.

Let's put my finger cross now!

I believe most parents are concern about their kids dental problem, this including me. I'll make sure my girls brush their teeth before bed; just to protect their milk teeth not so soon change to primary teeth. They starting brushing teeth at age 1. Wien is 5 and Lyon is 2 now, but I yet to bring them to visit dentist yet. I should bring them for checking by now.

Staying in US is good, as we can search their dental clinic online. Very simple with just one click at our mouse. Hayfield Dental Care is one of the dental clinic. It has been serving the residents of Alexandria and the surrounding areas since 1987.

The services also include general, family and cosmetic dentistry. Further, Hayfield Dental Care employs a full time specialist in orthodontics. The best part is their orthodontic consultations are provided at no charge for both children and adults. This is the first time I heard free of charge of dentist service! Sound great, right?

I shall give them a call now at 703-971-2220, to make appointment and bring my girls for a visit soon.

Salesman

Appeton sales team went to Wien's kindy to promote their Vit C. Also there is Vitagen promo going on in the school too! Wien keep begging me to buy her the Vit C, but I only order 10 bottles of Vitagen. Not that I don't want them to take Vit C but if I buy from them, I got no receipt that I can claim back from hubby's company.

Hubby's company is good, I mean good benefit and welfare given to staff. Their staff and immediate family like spouse and kids can claim back their medical fee if any. So usually I'll buy multi-V or calcium from nearby clinic, then I can claim back that amount. Hey, those drugs not cheap though, I wanna save money too!

I think her school will have more and more this kind of sales. I am sure Wien will beg for another thing soon. *sigh* These people really know where to promot their thing ya!

Page Rank 4!

Many bloggers go and check out their page rank, my itchy hand also cannot resist. Go to google to check it out. To my surprise, I also got PR4!! I wonder why too cos I don't think my blog got so many readers; but then where is the traffic come from? *scratch head*

Anyway, HAPPY! Good for me too, as I plan to write for Tiga soon.

Apple Store

Since I know online shopping, I love to browse through the net to look for great deal. Some offer price in online shop is very attractive but NOT the shipping and handling cost though. Usually the shipping and handling cost that stops me from buying internationally. But with Ebates, I can shop without thinking much as this site is all about saving money and getting Cash Back whenever I shop online. Pretty suitable for buyer that would like to shop more and save more!

The best deal I found in apple store is, I even can get free shipping if my order over USD50.00 and over 800 stores! Isn’t it sound great?

Parenting Magazines

Before marriage, I used to read magazine for fashion, cooking (for adult of course), and travel etc..…nothing related to parenting. But now after having kids, I have to read magazine related to parenting, mainly due to I am a first timer being a mummy. Only in parenting magazine, I can find and learn many tips of being a first time mummy. Other than from reading magazine, I also gain experience from other experience mummies or my own mum.

Now I found a good web that offer good parenting magazines, Mags Direct offer more than 10 types parenting magazines. The price very affordable too, I found it is even cheaper than magazines that sell in Malaysia. One of the magazine, Parents only cost us USD9.97 per year with 12 issues! The cover price is USD42.00, and we save up to 76%. It’s a huge saving I tell you. Yes, I am going to add this into my cart now.

Hurry! check out this web now, other than getting good magazine, you also can save some saving there since the price is much cheaper than we buy from book store.

Buying Gold Coins

Do you like gold? Yes, I did, so does my sister! My sister even buys gold each year after she got her yearly bonus. She really falls in love with gold. I had stopped buying gold for some time; main reason was I have problem on the storage.

Now with Monex Deposit Company (MDC), once I purchase their silver, gold or other metals and coins, they can either immediately send to me or arrange for convenient and safe storage at an independent bank or depository in US. I also can elect financing of my precious metals - using as little as a 20% down payment - and taking advantage of investment leverage through MDC's exclusive Atlas Account program. These definitely solve my problem on storage and I can start buying gold coin without any hassle on storage already.

Must tell my sister to check out more information on this site too!

FIL Old Car

FIL's car breakdown again!! Yesterday after he fetching Wien from school, his car couldn't start. After 1/2 hr only he called my SIL#1 to drive them back from school. Yup, Lyon also in the car as FIL like to tag her along while fetching Wien back from school. My MIL so worry at home because it already passed more than 1/2 hour but still did not see the car back. Usually after 15min, he already reach home, so MIL also called up SIL#1, only know that she already on the way to rescue 3 of them...

Lucky my SIL#1 is a housewife, else I really no idea who going to bring them back! My FIL also one kind, already advise him to change car or do throughly checking for the car, but he still no make any decision. *sigh*

Spring Clean

Chinese New Year around the corner, it's time to do house spring cleaning. This year I do a lot as compare to previous year, main reason was my youngest SIL already married, only left only me helping my MIL to do the cleaning. But I also get my 2 girls to involve, let them do simple things, clear their toys at least! Hehehe....of course cannot expect much from them but at least they not disturb us doing other areas cleaning.

I still in indecisive whether want to make cookies or not, I use to make for this festive season but since having the gals, I have not done any. Perhaps I should start making it this year, as I am sure they'll excited to help me! :)

Belisi Fashions

I noticed since I am young that most of the famous fashion designer was MALE, and most of the famous chef was MALE too! Wonder why like that? Because to my understanding all these were FEMALE job. Ya, I am wrong actually. Peter Belisi is one of the famous MALE designer too!

I like fashion and I love to search in internet to look for new and trendy fashion design. Main reason that motivate me do so is I can sew, I can DIY clothing for myself as well as for my 2 girls! Belisi fashions can let me get all the valuable information on latest fashion trend. In beingbelisi I even can find fashion solely design for women (The Diva Dreams), this site very suit for career women like me! Thank you, Peter Belisi!

Sew for me la!!!

As can read from my previous posts, now me busy sewing at night, wish to rush out all order, so that can finish before Chinese New Year. So each time when me busy sewing at 2nd room, Lyon for sure will come in together with her small stool. She very short mah, so need a stool to step on it then only she can see what I am doing. Then she'll start asking: - this one sew for who? - sew for other jie jie wan. - sew for me ler, this dress very nice, don't sew for jie jie ler. - cannot wor, jie jie already ask mummy sew for her.- I want ler, sew one for me! - okok, once mummy finish this, mummy sew one for u ya! - oh! After I promised her, only she'll walk off happily! She really vain pot now, very like to wear dresses nowadays!

Blogsvertise

I just signed up with Blogsvertise, another paid post site. Just like other blogger mummies did, I wish to earn extra income too! So the best short cut is to write for paid post, seem easy right? Well, I need to dig more time if want to sit still in front of pc and write.

Some people (my BIL especially) seem couldn't believe got such easy job..hehehe...I want to prove he is wrong. I am going to show him my paypal account with USD very soon! Wish me good luck then!

Additional Order

Another blogger mummy, Msau, ordered dresses from me, for her girls to wear during coming Chinese New Year. Of course I am happy to get her order, hey, it's extra income for me. Who doesn't like money then. No no no...I am not financially tight now, I just wish to turn my interest into making money business, so that I can be lady boss for my own shop....am I dreaming now?

Actually my hubby's income can support me to be SAHM now, but I don't think I am a SAHM material at this moment. I enjoy my office hour, at least I can do thing without anyone disturbing me (the 2 gals surely)! Ya, sometimes I did do my personal stuff during office hour; such as blogging etc etc....So what's the best time to resign? Frankly I also don't know...:P

Check Up

Today is Saturday, need to go gynae place for check up...No No No...I am not pregnant (I wish I am ). I am still on medication and need to take medicine for at least 6 month.

Reason given by gynae was to clear the blood in body, blood that left over from my cycle period. Actually I dont know how to describe this, even dont know the technical term for it. I just follow my gynae instruction. He said need to take medicine, then I just follow! What a good patient hor!

But one thing I dislike to go gynae place is , I have to wait VERY VERY LONG HOUR there! It could be more than 3 hr I tell you. Damm tired! No choice I still have to go to him since I already have 2 c-sect by him. He know my body well......

This medicine also had indirectly putting up my weight now, though I didn't increase my appetite...gynae already informed me in advance, side effect of it...either will feel pening or weight gain.....

My Plant

Since I own a new digital camera, I love to snap pictures, either my gals pictures or the plants that in my garden. Not long ago, I plant some tomato and mini chilli, but the result not so good due to I seldom take proper care onto them, also due to we hardly use pestide, as the girls tend to play a lot in the garden, we worry, they might just pluck and eat!! But I still satisfy with my result lar...though the fruit not so green and red as planted by my dear mom.

Monkey jumping on the bed

Little Lyon is 25 months now, but hubby and I never seen her jump from bed to floor (of course there is a mattress on the floor la). She seem afraid to jump like her sister Wien. That's fine for me, cos this kiasi mummy worry she might fall down mah if no adult supervise them in the room. But one day, hubby EFNTD, he taught Lyon to jump from bed to mattress. At first she refuse, then hubby carry her and teach her to jump, after a while, she seem enjoy the jumping!!! Since then, whenever in the room, she will jump and scream us to see her stunt!! OMG...this papa really bad lar.
