Something about LAI

Been complaining a lot...

2012-01-24T22:50:00.003+08:00

The feast is just over. Gosh, there were about 40 guests here gathering at my in-law house. The house was full of noise and the kids were playing happily and crazily too. Actually, i was a bit unhappy, all because of my MIL. She had been complaining a lot since few days ago, be honestly, i really do not have idea what does she want. She complained the dirtiness and complained we didn't help her out on the house chores, but gosh, my FIL had been cleaning the house by using the hoover steam vac for few days to ensure a sparkle looking home before the guests arrived, however, MIL still complaining a lot. Her complains annoy me a lot, now i seriously think to spend our next CNY in CN to avoid listening her never ending complains.

A lot of sick kids

2012-01-24T21:39:00.004+08:00

A lot of my friends' kids are sick during this festive season, probably they had been taking too much of CNY foods and triggered the sickness. Most are having same symptoms like fever, cough and sore throat. My girl has eyes infection too, no idea where did she get it. I have bought the eye drop 2 days ago from the medical center, i was pretty surprised when i saw those on duty nurses wearing modern medical scrubs there. Gosh, those nurses looked so pro and gorgeous. My hubby even said their uniform looks more modern than my dress. :p

Titanium watch

2012-01-13T17:56:00.004+08:00

Hubby bought me a titanium watch as a Christmas present. He was so lovely to give me a surprise. Actually, i never like to wear watch because my hand is allergic to watch band, be it a leather, silver or titanium. So be honestly, i was just a bit confused why did he still spend a huge amount to get me a watch which it is not necessary to own. He is a lovely man but definitely is not a thoughtful man!

No more co-sleeping

2012-01-04T19:26:00.002+08:00

Our king sized latex mattress is finally arrived at our doorstep this afternoon. After few years of co-sleeping with the kids, we finally decided to move the boys to other room. Both of the boys are fine with the decision and they in fact can't hardly wait to sleep in their own room. They have ocean theme room, so basically everything is in blue color. My girl wanted to have her own room too, but pathetically we just have 2 rooms in our unit, so for the moment i still cannot promise her any. Hopefully the boys won't come disturbing me at the midnight.

Goodbye 2011

2011-12-31T15:37:00.002+08:00

How time flies, a much awaited year 2012 will be arriving in 9 hours time. How are you going to celebrate tonight, the last day of year 2011? A blast together with the final countdown? I envy you if you will have one of any kind of celebrations later. I have not been attending year end party for years, and I can foresee I won't be attending any too for the next 10 years. Actually the last day of the year is just like any other day, even my boys have replacement class and are going to art class tonight as well. Hubby is working also. So it even makes the day less meaningful. Anyhow, i am here wishing everyone Happy New Year and have a prosperous year ahead!Oh, i had this Subway tuna sandwich for my lunch, yummy and satisfied food to mark the last lunch of year 2011.

Wish to have pretty eyelashes

2011-12-30T11:31:00.004+08:00

I have been thinking to try one of those best eyelash growth products so that my eyelashes can look longer. I actually even wonder could the eyelashes grow longer to my desired length before CNY. Can it be a magic wand? My friend told me before that i could have frequent trim to my eyelashes because eyelashes are like hair, the more you trim the faster they grow. I in fact never try this method, but i will if the eyelash growth product cannot help me. In short say, i will never forgo any chance that can make my eyelashes grow longer.

Can't wait any longer to "fly"

2011-12-06T20:57:00.002+08:00

I have been so looking for the date of my flight to go back to my home country, yes, another 39 days to go. It has been a year since i last went back so i seriously miss the foods and my family and my friends there. And, i miss the hot hot weather there too! So in order not to waste the hot weather, i have planned to bring the kids to Manuka Island, and i even bought the funny t shirts for 5 of us so that we can have perfect matching on our island trip. Just can't wait any longer to go back home!

Learning phonics

2011-11-25T11:37:00.003+08:00

I just found a great you tube video downloader. Actually i had been looking one but what i have found so far was not my favorite downloader. I definitely prefer the current one which allows MP3, AAC, MPEG, FLV, and HD Formats. From now onwards, i can download all the phonics teaching methods to my iPad and let my kids learn them. I do not know phonics so most of the time i don't know how to teach them. Luckily i can get the sources from Youtube!

Year end again..

2011-11-13T10:34:00.003+08:00

How time flies, it is year end again. It was like yesterday i just celebrated my Christmas, but now Christmas is just around the corner again. Yesterday when i was at the mall, i saw Christmas decorations were everywhere and Christmas songs been kept broadcasting too. I have ready to give christmas cheer for my family, relatives and friends. How about you? Have you got your Christmas tree ready? And have you prepared Christmas presents for your loved ones? Woo...i just love year end!

Go back to corporate world

2011-11-07T11:34:00.004+08:00

I will have more personal time after my girl attends to school next year. Perhaps i will look for one of those Technical Recruiter Consultant Jobs so that i can help reducing hubby's burden. I have always wanted to get a job again so that we can share our household expenses. I totally know it is not easier to be a sole breadwinner for a family, what's more we have 3 kids. Let's see how, if my hubby supports my willing, then most probably i will get a full time job again. Hopefully it is not difficult for me to get a high paid job here.

CNY holidays soon

2011-10-21T11:16:00.002+08:00

How time flies, it has only 94 days to go to CNY. You know, i have been waiting for this day arrives so that i can go back, i just like to see more sunlights and meet my family and friends there. I have never liked the Winter here, the weather just makes me feeling sick. Unlike in MY, the sun is big and hot which is perfect for swimming, picnic, diving and etc. Islands are everywhere in KK, but sadly to say, my kids have never been any before. So for the coming CNY holidays, i will bring them to go. They will definitely like the clean and white sands there, and they can dive too. My boy even ask for one of those underwater cameras so that he can shoot the underwater scenes and show to his friends.

Words Learning for a 4yo

2011-10-21T10:52:00.006+08:00

Recently i found this book at DangDang, i bought the first book after i read their reviews. I was pretty skeptical about the techniques so i just ordered the first book instead of getting the full set which has 7 books in it.

I taught my Eli the first page at the night i received this book, Eli's response was good, perhaps i should say his response was better than my expectation. He could memorize the first 16 words in less than 10 minutes, and he showed interest in reading this book too. So without much thinking, i ordered another book 2, 3 and 4 immediately. As for the rest, they are still in old version which without colors and pictures, so better i wait for the new version arrives to make them into a complete set.

What i like this book is, it shows the simple words first, then comes to 2 words, and gradually in sentence which the sentences are made up by those learned words. My Eli felt excited when he could read the full sentences by his own, think this is the motivation to keep him learning.

Christmas, can't wait any longer

2011-10-15T09:26:00.003+08:00

I hope my friends won't say me crazy if i send out the Christmas Party Invitations to them end of this month. You know, i just can't wait to celebrate white Christmas with all of my loved friends. I have been waiting for the Christmas ever since my birthday over and i have been practicing my baking skills a lot so that i can bake variety of Christmas cookies for my loved ones. Other than that, i have even got all the Christmas presents ready. Oh, i am not crazy but just too love to have this day coming.

A week holiday

2011-09-22T11:15:00.002+08:00

The one week national holidays will be here soon, anyway, holidays are just like any other days for me, even more busier than school days. Hubs suggests we can have a short vacation but the boys prefer to stay at home and playing their gadgets. My elder boy has even kept reminding me countless time to buy the ps3 hdmi cable so that it will be available during the long holidays. Sigh, traveling can never arouse their mood and interest, so i always say my kids are different from their peers, don't they?

SZ to BKK

2011-09-22T10:44:00.002+08:00

AA is offering free seats ticket, i browsed and checked the airfare from SZ to Bangkok in next Summer is just about CNY110 per pax, that's cheap and i am so tempted to get the tickets and brings the kids to Bangkok next Summer. If possible, i will get a self driven package while traveling in Bangkok. I had bad experience taking public transport in Bangkok before that's why if with kids along, i would rather go for renting the rv and drive myself. Of course, it is necessary to have rv insurance and check the affordable rv insurance quote before we go so that i can manage our family travel budget well.

Get the kitchen sink changed

2011-09-01T11:56:00.001+08:00

I have always wanted to get my kitchen sink changed. Finally my landlord agreed to let us change the current kitchen sink to stainless steel sink. I prefer stainless steel more, at least it won't get rusty after using over time. At first my landlord was not agreed to change it but he said "YES" after he knew i would pay everything without sending him any bills. See, that's my landlord, a very calculative young lawyer.

Cannot fit into size L

2011-09-01T11:53:00.005+08:00

I bought myself a PU jacket yesterday online and i received the parcel this morning. Sadly to say, i cannot fit into the jacket although i bought size L. Gosh, i think i need to stop shopping fashion online until i shed off those extra body fats. I need one of those proven and effective best fat burners, can anyone recommend one to me. I don't mind to pay as long as it helps burning my body fats. I need to have nice body shape again before Winter comes.

My soon-to-be 28 months old girl

2011-08-20T07:16:00.002+08:00

My girl is almost 28 months old now and still a breastfed baby, not exclusively though. She takes once or twice growing up milk per day, other times she likes being a leech, latching on me whenever she sees me in lying position or sitting position. Her overly demand of sucking has been causing a lot of inconveniences for me, i feel exhausted but i still have no heart to wean her off my boobs. I like the quiet time bonding with her and such moment is precious when she comfortably being held in nursing position. In fact, i have received quite lot of pressures from people especially my hubs, they just want me to stop. Some of them think perhaps i do not produce enough milk for my girl, and some of them say my milk now is actually nutrient-less, so better i wean her off. I am so in dilemma, stop or continue has been lingering on my mind for a while.

People will throw me a "wow and unbelievable" look when they are told i am still breastfeeding my toddler girl. Is it really such an unbelievable act when a mother is still breastfeeding her toddler girl? I have a friend actually breastfed her boy till her boy was 4 years old. Well, i don't think i am able to nurse my girl like how my friend did. I am getting prepared to wean her off my boobs because she will attend nursery in another few months time. Time just flies, my ever fragile baby is now a cute little girl, and very soon, she will go to primary school, then high school, then Uni, and then go dating with boyfriend. And very soon, she will hunt for her custom engagement ring, don't you agree that all these will just happen in the blink of an eye?

So slacking off

2011-08-20T07:03:00.004+08:00

It has been about a month since i last updated this blog, yeah, i have definitely lost my momentum to blog. I am so slacking off in maintaining my blogs, yeah, BLOGS. I own not only one blog, but few. Because of my slacking attitude, few blogs of mine have been deserted. During my absence, did you miss me? Well, i don't think i have much readers as i used to have, just think who wants to visit a deserted blog? Be honestly, my mind is stuck, i actually have lost the ideas in updating blogs. Updating blogs seems like a toughest job for me now as compared to motherhood job. Hopefully, i can back to blogging world again after the kids returning to school. Keep my fingers crossed, the school reopens in another 11 days.

Promise ring

2011-07-17T08:33:00.003+08:00

I knew what was a wedding ring but never knew what was a promise ring etiquette because i had never received one from my boyfriend who is now my hubby. I only knew the true meaning of it after being told by my friend. She had her promise ring from her boyfriend, wow, sounds so romantic to get such a ring. But one thing funny is, they have been together for 3 months only, oh gosh, how to acknowledge this "fresh" relationship? Hope they won't break the commitments they have made as time goes by.

Insurance for me..

2011-07-17T08:19:00.002+08:00

My friend is going to Europe very soon, i wonder has she got her travel insurance for her trip? I forgot to ask her the matter the other day when we met at coffee shop. Better call her later to check it out. Travelers are always advised to buy insurance for their trip, that's why i never fail to get myself one everytime i go travel. Actually i have protected myself well because i have got myself various types of insurance. Buying insurance nowadays is very common and also a good way to give yourself and your loved one a guaranteed protection. I browsed the http://www.wholesaleinsurance.net a lot before i decided which insurance for myself. Luckily technology is advance now, everything can simple go through online with just a few clicks away.

Gonna buy the rechargeable batteries

2011-07-17T07:58:00.004+08:00

My friend bought 2 remote control toy cars for my boys last Tuesday when she came to visit me. She got my girl a kid's laptop too, how thoughtful she is. But one thing i dislike is the un-chargeable batteries of the remote control toy cars are easily worn out, so for long term used, it is nothing beat to get the rechargeable aa batteries otherwise i will be broke pretty soon if i need to keep buying the un-chargeable batteries for their toy cars. Just wonder, anyone know any methods that can recharge the un-chargeable battery? If this can work, i can save more money. :-)

Need to print worksheets for my kids

2011-06-22T21:05:00.004+08:00

My HP printer is out of toner ink now, has been thinking to get the black ink and color ink but the prices of them are extremely high at the technology center in my area. My friend suggested me to find my required toner cartridges online as buying online is indeed more cheaper than getting from retail shops. I have to act fast soon because i need the ink to print some Summer worksheets for my kids. Summer school holiday will start soon...

Great FD celebration

2011-06-22T20:42:00.003+08:00

I got my husband a box of cigars for Father's day present. He likes them so much although he is not a cigar smoker, he actually has the cigars collection hobby. I was initially out of idea what was a good present for him, luckily i suddenly thought of buying cigars for him when i stumbled on the cigars site the couple of weeks ago. They even give cigars sampler to their customers, with their good service and good offer, i eventually decided to get cigars from them for my husband.

Acne problem

2011-05-28T17:17:00.003+08:00

My sister asked whether i could find a good anti-acne product for her, she has been suffering acne problem for 5 years, so she actually needs an effective and result proven acne product to cure her acne desperately. I read the nanocleanse review before, so think i can try asking my friend courier this NanoCleanse for me from State. Perhaps i can ask her to get some sale items from Gap for me as well! :-)

Strawberry girl

2011-05-28T17:03:00.002+08:00

I didn't have smooth face when i was at my teenage years. Friends of mine used to call me "strawberry girl" because my face had lot of pimples and pores. I felt sad every time when people called me as "strawberry girl", but i still did not know how to cure those unwanted pimples due to poor knowledge about facial that time. However my life changed after i found an effective solution online, click here if you like to know how did i cure my "strawberry face". Other than that, i believe evening primrose oil pill helps too...

Introduce billiard for my elder boy

2011-05-21T19:46:00.003+08:00

My hubs has been thinking to introduce billiard to his elder boy, gosh, my elder boy is just at 7 years old, is it too early to let him know what is billiard? I have always thought that he should have concentrated in his study rather than spending his spare times in playing games, some more he is still young. But since hubs is insisted, then i could only support his decision and help him order some cheap billiard related things from billiard supplies. As long as the boy knows how to handle both things then actually it is no harm to let him play billiard at such young age.

My aunt is undergoing an electrosurgery soon

2011-05-21T17:30:00.004+08:00

My friend told me her mum is going to have an electrosurgery next month, she is pretty worried about the operation and also the medical bill too. As her friend, i cannot help much but can only support her emotionally. I hope everything goes well and smooth on her mother, actually, her mother is way like my mother too because this aunt has been treating me well since i knew her daughter 25 years ago.

Terrible 2

2011-05-12T09:26:00.000+08:00

My girl is at her terrible two stage, she acts oppositely from my orders purposely. You can say her wanna be independent, but in fact she is stubborn. She likes to snatch her little brother's things especially his ipod touch without permission, the sudden snatching leads to fight eventually. The fighting frequency is getting morer and morer each day and i feel so stress to handle this girl. She tends to cry more, her crying sound is always in high pitch and annoying. She cries for everything, as if crying is her best weapon to get everything she wants. She used to be a cute little pie, but now she drains my energy, oh, i hope the terrible two can be over in no time.‏

Money is not enough

2011-05-06T11:25:00.002+08:00

I wonder whether i can get one of those payday advances or not because i do not have any supported documents. I need money urgently, gosh, i spent few hundred dollars in a wet market just now, the money gone like a running water, but what to do, my IL wanted everything good and expensive. I seriously wonder how to survive my life if she keeps wanting to buy those expensive seafood and poultry meats. Arghhhh....

Baby shampoo

2011-05-05T15:35:00.004+08:00

My kids have been using Aveeno baby shampoo since they born, but recently i could not find it in the place i stay. I wonder why? My friend suggested me to use SebaMed baby shampoo but it is too expensive so it won't be my choice. Currently the kids use Johnson brand, but be frankly i do not like it due to the kids' hair seem to get tangle easily and their hairs are pretty dried after using it. Now i seriously looking for a cheap brand yet good quality kids shampoo. Do you have any recommendations? I hope i can find some quality reviews and critics on kids' used products at beauty, so that i know what is the best bathing product for my kids.

Franchise business

2011-04-27T10:19:00.002+08:00

Have you been thinking about to start your own business? If yes, then probably you can get one of those franchise business. I wish to go back to working world because taking care of kids 24x7 at home is tiring job, but, i don't think my hubs will support my idea. So in the meantime, i can only endure my life without any complaints.

Blessing in disguise

2011-04-27T10:10:00.002+08:00

The weather is getting hotter and hotter each day, i can finally store all the down feather jackets into the tight vacuum bag and take out all the Summer wear. I am feeling glad that Summer is finally here but i am feeling sad too at the same time because i have outgrown all of my last Summer clothing. I have gained 4kg since last Summer. Sigh, other than thinking a good way to shed off the extra fats, i need to get some fitted urban clothing for myself, yeah, a blessing in disguise, because it is a time to start online shopping.

Waiting for my parcel

2011-04-27T10:00:00.002+08:00

I have been waiting for my parcel arrives on my doorstep ever since i placed my order on Gap yesterday. Normally i can get my stuff after a day of waiting, hope there is no exception this time too because i need the pair of shoes urgently. :-)

Have passion in baking

2011-04-13T07:43:00.003+08:00

I'd always thought that i would continue my study in management field so that it would be easier for me to get one of those management jobs when one day i back to corporate world. But recently, i have changed my mind, i have strong desire to be a pastry chef. I would like to attend culinary school and learn everything that can lead me to be a professional baker. I have passion and dedication now, just hope my spouse can support me.

Taking supplement pills

2011-03-31T16:07:00.004+08:00

I have been taking a lot of supplement pills for years, think have more than 10 years. Not long ago, i have started taking evening primrose pills which believe it can help preventing ache. I have been having ache problem for 4 months, had tried few skincare products but they didn't help much in controlling the occurrence of ache. So off i tried evening primrose pills. My friend warned me don't simply try any supplements pills as nobody knows its hidden side effects that may happen to the body, yeah, how true. What's more we do not get any legal claim if something bad happen after taking those supplements pills. Unlike those who take Topamax, at least they can seek for Topamax Lawsuit to claim back what they are deserved. Having said that, i will still continue taking my supplement pills for the moment.

Read the reviews before buying

2011-03-30T21:28:00.004+08:00

After so much of bad experiences in buying things online, i finally learned my lesson. Now, i read every reviews carefully on the internet before i pay my money. I think i have read enough on apidextra reviews and can finally write it on the "things to buy" list and pass to my hubs who will be going to State soon. I need a good weight loss product to control my weight, be honestly, i prefer to take weight loss product instead of starving my tummy. Starving is simply torturing.

Wanna say bye to my HP

2011-03-30T21:19:00.003+08:00

After using my HP laptop for 2 years, i have finally decided to pass down this HP laptop to my sister. I wanna get one of those toshiba laptop computers this time, and been wondering whether i can get any discount coupon before i buy it. Or, do you know which online store is giving laptop giveaway right now? If yes, do let me know. I will definitely try my luck there...:-)

The baking mood is back

2011-03-30T21:11:00.002+08:00

It has been a while since i last updated this blog. I started writing this blog when my first son was about 18 months old, and now he is already 7. We just celebrated his lunar birthday yesterday, how time flies...

I baked him a butter pound cake with rich buttercream frosting yesterday, actually it was my first time to frost a cake. It was a fun experience indeed and i had been looking for more frosting tools and ingredients online the whole morning. Hopefully i can master the frosting skill after few practices.

Going to attend a dinner

2011-03-13T11:23:00.002+08:00

I am going to attend a dinner next week, however, i still cannot get myself a good looking dress. Been shopping around the mall but nothing i fancy with. If i still cannot get it by next Monday, then i will just go for one of those bridesmaid dresses, though it may look overly classy for the dinner and maybe i will look more prettier than the host, but who cares since the host has never mentioned the dress code for me.

Presents for FIL & MIL

2011-03-06T08:31:00.003+08:00

Hubby will get nikon rifle scope for my FIL as Father's day present this year. As for my MIL, nothing beats to get her a branded handbag on Mother's day. We have actually planned what presents to get for them earlier this year, just because hubs is leaving to his business trip soon, so we have to get the items listed on paper and buy them directly from State.

The park is so poor maintained

2011-03-06T08:14:00.004+08:00

I don't like to kill my time at park. But because my kids love going to park, so i bring them there. The park actually is not well maintained because the management does not provide playground nor good walking paths and jogging tracks for the residents. Some of residents here suggested the management to get commercial playground equipment for the kids, but until today, i haven't seen any actions taken by the management. I would definitely buy some home used playground equipment for my kids if i had a spacious house.

Fig plantation

2011-02-27T09:08:00.002+08:00

FIL has an oil palm field, but he disagrees my hubs to invest his money to oil palm planting. FIL prefers his son working at corporate world and well invest the money in other sectors like buying property. People in MY like to having oil palm field, the more acre you have, the richer you are. Actually i wonder can the land in MY plant fig tree? Can fig plantation bring revenue?

Best and natural way to slim down

2011-02-27T09:00:00.002+08:00

Being a 24x7 stay at home mom is not an easy job. I can define my job is more tougher than hubby's job, but just i do not bring money home. Being a full time mom can shed off fats faster, at least much more faster than those working moms, so i always console myself that i do not need any weight loss pills to lose weight. Taking care of my kids without a maid is a best and natural way for me to stay slim. Well, is slim but not fit because i am sleep deprived.

Shichida class is too expensive

2011-02-27T08:41:00.005+08:00

I just knew that there is a Shichida center nearby my house. But i almost dropped my jaws when i heard the program fee. It charges 10+ thousands for 2 semesters, 1 hour class and once a week. Gosh, the fee is way too expensive. I better save the money for my kids so that i won't be having financial problem sending them to university in the future. Shichida is a concept for rich people, as for my family, i better wise use my money for getting best multivitamin for my kids. They need them to grow healthily, as for teaching, i can teach them. Don't you think mother is the best teacher for kids?

Tan lotion for my boy

2011-02-27T08:34:00.004+08:00

I would like to get an indoor tanning lotion for my little boy, i want him to look tan rather than fair. Boy must have boy's looks with tan complexion and muscle looking instead of looking weak and fair. Some more, people always mistreats him as my "daughter". Even his teacher mistreated him as a "girl" on his first day to class. Sigh, how could this be happened?

Choosy boy

2011-02-27T08:23:00.002+08:00

My little boy hates food, as a result, he still looks like 2+ years old boy although he is almost 4. The doctor advised us to feed him an egg everyday so that he could get the balance nutrients for maintaining his body health. But, he hates egg since he was a baby. That's why, i wonder can i feed protein supplements to my boy? According to some of my friends, supplement foods are better for kids over 6 years old. Or, do you know where i can find protein related foods to my young boy? He definitely needs to grow his body.

Travelling with GPS on hand

2011-02-18T08:19:00.004+08:00

Hubs will be going to State soon, and most of the time he needs to travel alone, so nothing is better than having tom tom gps with him. We were told, people can drive and travel alone and safely in any places in State as long as it is a gps on hand. I can't wait any longer to see him bringing all the loots back for me and kids. Yeah, i have already written my wishlist for him. :-)

Cough badly

2011-02-11T10:18:00.004+08:00

I'm back in CN. Think the body cannot adapt the weather here as i have been coughing badly since yesterday night. And, i cannot breathe too, the stuffy nose simply torturing. I will go to see doctor tonight when hubby comes back from work, actually i wish to see the doctor immediately because i could not find any relevant medicines from my medicine cabinets, however, without a maid now, i can only wait until my hubby back, definitely cannot leave all my little kids alone at home.

USB drive as a door gift

2011-02-05T00:03:00.005+08:00

What is the best wedding door gift you have ever received? I have just back from a grand wedding dinner, and received an unique door gift which is an USB drive. It has the photo of bride and groom displaying on the top surface of the USB drive. Be honestly, i won't show my wedding photo on the USB drive and giving to people as door gift if i were the bride. Imagine, how many out there will appreciate your photo and keep the USB drive as precious keepsake. Well, i definitely don't mind to have extra USB drive to keep in my wallet. Hubby actually bought few promotional usb drives for me before, but i always lost them. Sigh, that's the sign of aging!!

Not finish my packing

2011-01-26T08:26:00.005+08:00

Time is running fast, we are leaving here to a scorching hot weather country tomorrow for 2 weeks family vacation. Our luggage has not been packed completely yet, without a maid at home i actually found that it is difficult to get my things packed. The kids are simply as busy as me and kept disturbing me with their screams and cries! Oh gosh, please leave me peacefully and get my things done! Hubby will be home today earlier because he still needs to go out to get cigars for his friend whom we will be visiting his family when we visit his country. Sigh, think i only can get my luggage packed nicely and completely once hubby brings the kids out together with him.

Struggling to lose weight

2011-01-20T10:53:00.003+08:00

I am struggling to lose weight. I won't be struggling if only i know how to eat smartly and healthily. I love high calories foods such as fried chicken, fried rice, roasted peanut, cakes, breads and what not. And, i hardly do exercise. I have gained few pounds in 2 weeks especially during the festive Christmas and New Year time. Therefore, i want some diets that work perfectly for me and better gives excellent result within a short time. Do you have ones can recommend to me??

Is age catching up with him??

2011-01-20T08:08:00.003+08:00

I think my hubs needs to attend one of those ab workouts organised by the club if he continue drinking the beers in unconstrained manner. He has gained few pounds in a short 2 weeks, gosh, where is my fit and handsome looking man gone? What i can see now is a giant man who has a flabby tummy as well as flabby muscles. Is the weight gained due to excessive drinking or is age catching up with him?

Diet pills

2011-01-20T07:58:00.005+08:00

I can forget my strict diet and start taking the best diet pills very soon. The effective and medical proven pill is introduced by my friend who has been taking them for a couple of years, and, she has not experienced any weight bouncing back even she stopped taking them for few months. Wow, i am actually feeling eagerly to give them a try. If i can wean off breastfeeding my little girl by next week, then most probably i can start taking those pills from the same day onwards. Wow, losing weight by taking diet pills is definitely easier than practicing strict diet.

CNY shopping

2011-01-16T09:12:00.012+08:00

We have been quite busy lately for our CNY shopping. Everyone loves CNY shopping especially my little boy, he can sing and sing non stop throughout our shopping journey. His singing definitely cheers everyone up. We will be going out for another round of CNY shopping later, hubs wanna get samsung gravity for my FIL, hopefully we can get it by today otherwise we will have less time to decorate our house with laterns and flowers!

Coogi bag

2011-01-04T11:23:00.006+08:00

I love to collect bags, from branded to non-branded. Recently i have been eyeing one of the coogi bag but i am afraid of hearing the nagging noise from my hubby. He doesn't like seeing me spending my money in getting more bags. Sigh, i should have mentioned this Coogi bag for him before Christmas so that i could receive it as my Christmas present. Now have to wait until the next Christmas comes.

Baptize our kids

2011-01-04T11:06:00.011+08:00

We will be going back to M'sia very soon, just can't wait to see the big bright sun and can't wait to meet our friends and relatives there. Other than spending our Chinese New Year holidays there, we actually have been planning to baptize our kids in the local church where we had our church wedding. If the time permits, i probably will get my kids some baptism gifts too, as a keepsake which can be remembered for number of years.

Car fanatic

2010-12-11T20:24:00.003+08:00

My little boy loves cars very much, be it toy cars, real cars and even those car pictures in magazine. In his iPod touch, you can see games related to CARS only and all the video clips saved are all about CARS too. This morning, he saw the ATVs pictures in newspaper and he insisted me to download some related movie clips for him. He wanted everything about ATV, including those promoting ATV Tires movie clips. See, he is such a car fanatic.

Acne problem is lingering

2010-12-02T12:01:00.002+08:00

I signed up a facial course not long ago, but i am so regretted to pay my money to that unethical beauty center. Their products are not suitable for me and my face started to pop out those ugly acne after i had my facial there. What's more, i just been there 3 times! I asked for refund but they were not willing to pay the money back for me and claimed that their products are safe for use and won't be causing any allergic reaction. I never go back to that beauty center again, as for those money lost, i definitely learn my lesson. Now, i have started using Acsonix. I found this product through acsonix reviews, hope it can help minimizing my acne problem.

Honey + Cinnamon

2010-12-02T11:42:00.003+08:00

I have received a meaningful email from one of my friend last week. The subject of the email has caught my attention which is stated "honey and cinnamon drink keeps you strong", i read the email carefully and started to make myself a cup of honey and cinnamon drink right away i finished reading the mail. Coincidentally, i have both 2 ingredients sitting in the kitchen cabinet. To my surprise, i did not catch the cold and cough from my kids after been taking this yummy drink for few days. So, i seriously believe honey and cinnamon are perfectly matched to kill the body germs and let you stay healthy. According to some studies, it helps burning body fats too. But i am not sure is taking this beverage as good as using fat burner, anyway, it is no harm to try it, right?

Keep your face looking young

2010-12-02T11:34:00.003+08:00

I have been applying anti-wrinkle cream for many many years, if not mistaken, i started this routine since i was still a high school student. Can't believe? But, it is a truth. And that's why i look pretty young and my look doesn't match my actual age. I have always believed that maintaining your face is a job which you should start as early as possible, see, i am your EXAMPLE. :-)

Getting things from US

2010-11-20T08:42:00.000+08:00

My friend is going to US soon and she is willing to help bringing back the diet pills that actually work and also the expensive skin care product La Mer for me. I have been longing to get this brand of facial product for years, finally my hubs nodded his head and gave me a green night to buy them. Getting goods from US is always cheaper, especially this La Mer, you know it is about a thousand cheaper than getting from locally.

Get an affordable insurance plan

2010-11-11T08:03:00.004+08:00

Having an insurance is important, be it a life insurance, health insurance, auto insurance, you name it. But i know not everyone has got a protection from insurance. We are lucky, because we are affordable to get insurance for ourselves and leave peace of mind for everyone. Some people are not as luckier as us, just like my maid. She has never had her own insurance even she is at her early 4o now due to financial problem as well as having poor knowledge in insurance subject. That's actually a common problem for all the people here because as i know that they actually do not have any insurance policies. Some even think insurance is a scam.

How about you? Do you get yourself protected by insurance and set free mind to yourself as well as to your loved ones? If not, please do more researches on insurance and its insurance quotes in order to get yourself an affordable plan.

Don't wait. Do check it out today because accident or disaster does happen unpredictably.

Got my live in maid

2010-11-11T07:49:00.003+08:00

My new live in maid has been with me for 2 days. So far so good. From my first glance at her, she did not look like a maid because she wears glasses and she looks decent. After changing some conversations, i managed to know she had been working at banking industry for more than 10 years before she went back to her home for delivery her first baby. I felt pretty weird why she did not want to get one of those banking careers again but choose being a maid. Her reason is working at corporate world is hard to get leave but being a maid can always get leave so she can always see her kid whenever she wants. Oh gosh, from her words, i know she won't be working long for me. Sigh, that's the problem of hiring maid here.

Promoting stuffs at booth sale

2010-11-11T07:31:00.002+08:00

One of my friend has started her own online business. She sells clothes and bags, most of them are from Japan. Recently, she has a plan to set a booth at the mall to well sell her stuffs. The booth is actually built purposely for year end peak sales. Normally people can only earn well during year end especially Christmas is just near the corner. That's why my friend is thinking to have custom pop displays to well promoting her stuffs. She was actually previously worked at advertising company, so think she knows what's the best way to promote and bloom her business.

Cannot celebrate the birthday

2010-11-05T20:26:00.003+08:00

Hubby is celebrating his 38th birthday this month, but we do not have chance to celebrate with him since he is still in MY while we are in CN. This in fact the first time we are not celebrating his birthday together since year 1997. However i have prepared a special birthday present for him, but of course i can only show him after he comes back to here. Guess that he will be thrilled once he sees those gold coins i bought for him. He has been collecting gold coins since he was at his early 30. Be honestly, i sometimes wonder how much i can get if i sell all of his gold coins? Anyway, just kidding here. I will never never sell his gold coins since he treats them as his most precious things in his life.

Submit my blogs to directory

2010-10-28T10:06:00.002+08:00

Recently i have received tons of emails talking about how to make CASH at home. According to the emails stated, people can at least make USD2000 per week as long as you have active blog or blogs. I have few blogs, but they are not actively maintained and have not indexed. I somewhat feel like trying their so called making CASH program, but hope the advertisements are not defrauded. Better submitting my blogs to free website directory as soon as possible before it is too late!

Money...i am coming to collect you soon..

I like Summer more than other seasons

2010-10-28T09:59:00.002+08:00

I am so hungry now, perhaps the hunger is caused by the cold weather. It is so cold now, room temperature is 15 degree Celsius. In fact, i do not like cold weather, feeling so troublesome to layer the kids with clothes and it is time consuming to wear them clothes. I hate it when we are rushing to some important dates, the kids never willing to cooperate with me whenever i am rushing. That's why i prefer summer, the scorching hot weather is my favorite season because i can slim down myself in natural way by sweating excessively, so definitely do not need any diet pills to help maintaining my weight. It saves my money Indirectly! Having said that, i still need best weight loss supplements whenever it is Winter. :)

Need more strength

2010-10-28T09:52:00.003+08:00

Hubby has gone back to home town, leaving me alone with three little kids here. Luckily my mum willing to stay here with me, otherwise i think i would go berserk. Kids are getting naughtier over time, taking care of them is exhausted, no wonder how much i sleep, the tiredness is still with me. I am getting weaker and been feeling dizzy, think i really need to get myself some multivitamins to boost my immune system hence to be able well taking care of my super active kids. I wonder any pills help giving younger look, especially those can build more collagen to skin and can firm the skin.

Better than none

2010-10-18T22:18:00.000+08:00

I need a proper and uninterrupted rest. Been thinking a lot lately, so it is not weird to see i have few more strands of gray hair now. A lot of things happened around me lately, until i did not know how to handle them. If the problem continues, think i will be getting more and more strands of gray hair and wrinkles too. The more i think the more weaker i am, you know, i have flu again. Gosh, i have just recovered from my flu for one week, and now i am under the weather again. Life is so unpredictable, and now only i know how important of having saving. Money can settle everything, sadly to say, i don't have much money to help settling my own family issue. I should have listened to my man's advice that to stop spending uncontrollably hence we would have more money to invest gold bullion. I wonder will it be late if i start being frugal from today onwards?? But, even if late, is better than none!

WECITY

2010-10-18T22:01:00.002+08:00

Everyone in my household is so addicted into playing WeCity on iPhone and iPod Touch. Be frankly, sometimes i have urge to buy more ZAP so that i could build the products instantly without any waits! Sigh, this is the drawback of too addicting into something! You know, i even wake up at the midnight purposely to ship my products. OH NO...i should have controlled myself a bit..

Handwashed my Coach sling bag

2010-10-18T21:47:00.004+08:00

I could not stand the dirt on my Coach sling bag anymore, so i gave it a wash. I didn't do any researches on how to clean the dirt but i simply took it under the tap water and gave it a good wash. I used wet soft cloth as brush with powder detergent to clean the surface and later just ran the detergent bubbles under the cold tap water. I hung it directly at my balcony and wind dry it. Luckily, the way i washed didn't spoil the leather and didn't lead to any discoloration problem. It still look like 80% new now. :-)

Glad to have him

2010-10-17T08:40:00.002+08:00

I love buying gadget things for myself as well as for my kids. Be honestly, i have never known how to well saved and well spent my money even though i have a calculative man at home. Or, perhaps i can say i am lucky to have him as my husband because he knows how to make money, grow money and save money. I didn't think i would use my money to buy gold coins if i have not been reminding how important of keeping gold by my husband. Being a lady, i simply know how to spend my money or his money in getting luxury things. Investment in fact is a hardest subject for me to learn, but i am glad that i have him around to organize our financial wisely.

Seeking for wrinkles treatment

2010-10-17T08:32:00.004+08:00

The more i get thinner, the more wrinkles i have. Sigh, i wonder how to stay slim and have a younger look at the same time. Can bird nest help? Having said that, i don't think i can afford eating bird nest everyday for the sake of keeping a young look on myself. My husband says i can try gaining weight, according to him, the more fatter you are the less wrinkles you will have. Of course i know such a theory, but i prefer to seek a treatment for wrinkles rather than gaining my own weight. He has never known how a tough life i had been having before to get a figure at 55kg.

ShapeWriter makes my typing easier!

2010-10-17T08:22:00.000+08:00

I was introduced to this amazing ShapeWriter by one of my blogger friend quite long ago. I did not really know the actual usage and benefits of this ShapeWriter until yesterday. I did not have time to sit in front of my laptop to do my own things because i always busy during weekend. Kids always want me to accompany them in the room. I was a bit boring while accompany them to watch their favorite telly program, so i tried out this ShapeWriter on my iPhone all of a sudden and fall in love with it immediately. Oh gosh, i should have tried typing my documents through this ShapeWriter earlier, it simply user friendly and save my typing time a lot!!!

Can't wait any longer..

2010-10-17T08:13:00.001+08:00

He says i will get my surprise present after 5 weeks, i wonder what the surprise is? Actually he has never been that generous in getting me something expensive, but this round i knew he has spent quite a lot of his money which is the return from the investment of gold coins to get me a present in order to make me happy. He knows i have been feeling stress and unhappy due to over taking care of his kids and the house chore ever since the maid left. Such a considerate man i have. I hope my MIL won't say something sour to me when she sees her son presenting me a nice and expensive gift.

Keep my fingers and toes crossed. Actually, can't wait that longer to see what the surprise is!

Practices make perfect

2010-10-17T08:00:00.004+08:00

My friend's birthday is just near the corner. Since i have been so into baking lately, so i have thought to bake her a homemade cake and send to her house. But my hubby begs to differ because he thinks i have not really master my baking skill. He prefers i buy her one of those MP3 players because she likes listening songs. His comments discourage me a lot, however, i believe practices make perfect, i am sure i can bake a good looking cake one day in future.

Insurance for birthday?!

2010-10-07T08:54:00.003+08:00

An unromantic man does practical things. He took back the term life insurance quote from work and presented to his wife, well, that day was his wife's birthday. Neither surprised birthday present nor romance dinner, but the man thought he has given the best gift for his wife. Yes, protecting his wife with insurance is another way to showing his love to his wife, but why didn't the man do other romantic things on his wife's birthday? Sigh..oh, yes, that's my man!

Better keep insurance

2010-09-25T13:13:00.000+08:00

You will understand how importance of keeping insurance if you have paid an expensive medical fees once. We are not staying in a country where some of the law firms will help you to fight your medical compensation back, that's why we need good insurance to protect ourselves in order to keep our mind peace. I have an uncle who has been having severe kidney damage after taking Trasylol during his heart operation, but sadly to say, he cannot file a Trasylol lawsuit like people in Texas. Your jaw drop if you happen to see the medical bill of my uncle. And very unlucky, he has not been protected himself with health insurance too.

I now seriously found that not every medication is safe to be taken, even those prescribed by doctor are not 100% safe. That's why i rejected to take Accutane to treat my acne, we can't file an Accutane Lawsuit here, so why i still want to risk my health and waste my money? Better look for a natural way to cure my acne.

Hair loss problem

2010-09-25T12:20:00.001+08:00

Do you suffer hair loss? I have it ever since i gave birth to my first son. People commented my hair loss problem is due to the postnatal hormone changed, but some said i had been taking too much of salt during my confinement which caused such excessive loss. So, i just wonder is taking salty food will really affect hair losing, is there any proof? Perhaps i should check reasonsforhairloss.org for more information about the reason why i have been suffering hair loss problem. And the most importantly is i can have a good cure for the hair losing problem.

Failed baking the batch of cookies.

2010-09-25T12:11:00.000+08:00

I baked banana oatmeal chocolate cookies this morning, but it failed miserably. The cookies didn't taste like crunchy cookies but they are in cakelike form. The cookies dough looked a bit moist, i should have added more oatmeal to dry the batter so that the cookies won't turn out into cakelike form. But i was silly enough to think out of the box. They still tasted yummy when they just fresh out from the oven, but when they are colder, they tasted awful and i didn't mind to send them to trash.

Kneel down with a gold bullion

2010-09-25T12:02:00.005+08:00

I have a funny friend, he kneel down with a gold bullion and a bouquet of roses when he proposed to his girlfriend at one of the famous restaurant. Gosh, i would have to find a hole to bury my face if this unromantic case happened on me. But, her girlfriend still accepted his proposal happily. I do not mind to receive gold bullion during my birthday but ultimately not during the proposal day! I like gold of course, as the more gold you have, the more wealthy you are. But, i definitely prefer to get something which is perfect matching the occasion, such as diamond ring. Luckily i had a memorable proposal, all done in old fashioned way. :)

Phentermine for my aunty

2010-09-20T09:48:00.002+08:00

I have just finished reading the herbal phentermine reviews online, so think i can just order the Phentermine online. Don't misunderstand because the Phentermine is not for myself but for my aunty. She doesn't know English so i just helped her reading those reviews and translated the words back to Chinese for her. I don't need any diet pills yet because i still breastfeed my little girl. Breastfeeding is a natural way to keep my body stays slim!

Never let the girl alone at bedroom

2010-09-20T09:28:00.004+08:00

My girl loves to play with my expensive lotions, last night she almost played up my whole tube of indoor tanning lotion, what a heartache to see all the lotion being applied on the floor, bed sheet and her Baby Alive doll! Oh, never never let her alone in the bedroom again and never leave a stool in the bedroom because she could climb up the stool and take down my tube of lotion! Sigh, that's a gift from my best friend!

A stingy landlord

2010-09-20T09:21:00.002+08:00

The tv in the living hall is broken, sounds pathetic because the landlord refused to get it repaired. He said he did not get tv insurance, so we have to pay our own if we send the tv for a repair. I don't like my landlord actually because he always acts irresponsible. He will definitely ask us to solve the problem ourselves every time i mention there is a broken thing happened at the house. He is not willing to pay most of the time, such a stingy man he is!

Cookies caused pimples

2010-09-20T09:11:00.004+08:00

I baked Nutella chocolate chips cookies for my hubs last week, i have actually packed the cookies tightly in the seal bag and put them into the Tupperware so that my hubs could bring them back to his office. But, ended up, i finished all the Nutella cookies by myself while i was watching the Korean soap drama. I couldn't resist them, they were crispy although they were too sweet which were not to my liking. Perhaps the cookies were too heat for my body because i saw few "volcano" lookalike acne on my forehead this morning. I have applied them with my magic acne gel and i truly believe they will be disappeared later on! That's how my magic acne gel works!

I didn't born beautiful

2010-09-20T08:55:00.004+08:00

I hate those blackheads on nose, my nose actually looks like a strawberry! Sob, sob, how i wish i had a "ping-pong" ball looking nose. I hate those stretch marks around my waist, you know, it was once my elder boy asked me why my waist looked like a watermelon skin, gosh, how sad to be asked like that? But what can i do? Plastic surgery?

Thinking to make Halloween cupcake

2010-09-20T08:47:00.003+08:00

Time flies fast, soon we will be celebrating Halloween. I have been thinking to make some Halloween cupcakes for my boys to bring back to their own class. I hope i can handle the baking well and hopefully the maid will come back quickly. I can't do much things without a live in maid because the little girl always tags me wherever i go or whatever i do. I can't really go out the mall to get my kids the Halloween costumes, luckily i still can order kids halloween costumes online. 24 hours a day is definitely not enough for me.

I prefer hot weather

2010-09-17T07:02:00.003+08:00

That day my dear asked me whether i wanted to move to the northern part of the CN, the first came into my mind was the cold winter there. I actually don't like cold winter, perhaps i grew up in a place without 4 seasons, so i prefer hot weather much more than cold weather. But if he really wants to go there, of course i will follow him, there is always a way to keep myself warm during winter, especially the is a creation of electric blanket. I use the electric hot water bag in here where the coldest winter temperature is just about 6 Degree Celsius, but if in northern part, think this hot water bag is not enough to withstand the harshness cold.

Stop sending No.1 to violin class

2010-09-16T16:50:00.003+08:00

I have finally informed my son's teacher that i would like to stop sending my NO.1 to violin class. I hope my decision is right although i do not get 100% support from my hubby. Continue sending him to violin class is just about to waste the money because he shows no interesting in learning violin. Thus i better save the money for his future education, perhaps he will take up one of those research degrees when he graduates from his high school. Be honestly, i feel wasteful to stop his violin class because i can see the potential in him although he so against to continue learning the violin. Sigh, kid has never known how to treasure the chance he has. How i wish i could learn violin when i was little.

Kids love to drink Yakult

2010-09-16T10:08:00.002+08:00

My kids love Yakult, especially the little girl. She can drink few bottles if i let her drink freely. Of course, i limit one bottle for her everyday.

I hardly get the local made Yakult, normally i will get those imported from HK one. I somehow still skeptical taking the local made Yakult, actually both local and HK made are same in price. Of course the price will be different if i convert each currency back to Ringgit.

Example,
RMB8.8 = RM4.4
HKD8.8 = RM3.5

So, getting HK made Yakult from HK is more cheaper, but since i cannot go to HK everyday, so i force to get HK made Yakult from local retail shop, what to do, some money really have to let people earn it.

Back to the topic, actually i just wanted to share with you all about this Yakult light, as compared to original Yakult, i would choose to get this Yakult light more but it is more expensive undoubtedly. Can't really remember their exact amount, if not wrong, i paid around HKD13 for that 5 little bottles, expensive, huh?

Baking frenzy

2010-09-16T08:58:00.000+08:00

I am so into baking lately, can say going to be crazy. I have the urge to bake whenever i feel free. Gosh, like what my hubs says, i should have taken opportunity to give myself a rest whenever i could instead of busying myself in baking. But, i find the joy when i am baking.

I can keep browsing the recipes online to get myself inspired, and bake right after i finish reading those recipes. That's so much fun in baking, be honestly, i love baking more than cooking!

I want to bake later, i have found a green tea cupcake recipe which the cupcake doesn't need any butter. Wow, i wonder how does it taste when the butter is omitted!

Treat them unbiasedly

2010-09-14T23:02:00.004+08:00

My No.1 wanted to have a glass of fresh watermelon juice when we passed by the fresh fruit shop after we finished our dinner outside just now. The fresh watermelon juice is selling expensive there, about RMB20 per glass, but i still bought for him even there was no pestering sound near my ears. Actually, i bought 3 glasses for each of my kids although the two little ones were not able to finish the whole glass of juice. Well, i ain't rich but i wanted to treat them unbiasedly. That's a mother's life. All of my kids will have same bite of food no matter what i offer them, even if i buy the gold coin for my No.1 as his Christmas present, i will definitely get the two little ones the same presents too although they ain't know the actual meaning and value of keeping gold. :)

Oatmeal raisin walnut cookies

2010-09-14T22:07:00.011+08:00

I baked few batches of cookie yesterday morning. It was a bliss morning because my girl didn't cry as much as usual, that's why i could bake some cookies peacefully at the kitchen.

I have a tin of Quaker instant oatmeal which i initially bought it for the purpose of increasing my breast milk, such a great idea was from the internet. Seriously, oatmeal does help increasing breast milk. However, i hardly make myself a cup of oatmeal beverage. Actually, neither instant oatmeal nor quick oatmeal is not to my liking, maybe due to their final texture. But, letting the can of Quaker instant oatmeal continue sitting in the cabinet is not what i wanted to see, so a good idea flashed into my mind, yeah, that's making oatmeal cookie. Don't you think oatmeal cookie tastes much more nicer than a bowl of cooked oatmeal or an instant oatmeal drink?

Perhaps i sound weird, but honestly, the oatmeal cookies taste wonderful even though i am not an oatmeal friend. So, who doesn't like oatmeal can actually like the oatmeal in cookie form. Luckily, i turned the leftover oatmeal into oatmeal raisin walnut cookies, otherwise, the whole can of oatmeal would be thrown to trash when its expiry date comes.

The ingredients are simple and easy to get, i got mine all ready and prepared the cookie dough is easier too.

Ingredients : -

1-1/2 cups all purpose flour (i used Gold Medal Unbleached AP flour)
1 teaspoon baking soda
1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1/2 teaspoon ground nutmeg
1 teaspoon salt
1-1/4 cups unsalted butter, softened
3/4 cup packed brown sugar (i used CRS brown sugar)
1/2 cup granulated sugar (i used only 1/4 cup, i prefer less sweet cookie)
1 large egg
1 teaspoon vanilla
3 cups oats (preferably to use old-fashioned oats, but i used instant oatmeal)
1 cup of raisin *optional
1 cup of coarsely chopped walnut *optional

Steps : -
1. Preheat oven to 180 degree Celsius.
2. Lining double cookie sheets on cookie tray.
3. Combine first set of dry ingredients in a large bowl with a wire whisk.
4. Cream the butter and sugars in a separate bowl. Add a slightly beaten egg and vanilla and combine completely.
5. Slowly add flour mixture until combined.
6. Hand stir in oats and your prepared raisin and walnut.

7. Drop by rounded tablespoons onto cookie sheets. Bake for 10 minutes or until done.
8. Take the fresh baked cookies out from the oven and allow to cool on cookie sheets for 2 minutes before removing cookies to wire rack for completely cooling.

Easy, right?

I was initially thought perhaps i needed about a week to finish all the cookies (the ingredients yield about 60 servings), but, they are all gone in just a day!

Cad drawings

2010-09-03T15:35:00.002+08:00

I know few programming languages but i don't know CAD aka computer-aided drafting. There was once my friend asked me if i knew how to draft using computer, oh sorry, i couldn't help him because i do not have much knowledge about drafting and design with a computer. Actually, it is not hard to get variety of cad drawings online, so it doesn't matter whether you know or don't know, as long as you have internet connection then getting a quality cad drawing is easy. Custom made cad drawing does save your drafting and design time, don't you agree? Of course if you have more demands then it is better for you to get your own taylor made cad drawing from cad designer. For sure you need to pay more. :-)

Whatever will be, will be.

My elder boy hates learning violin, that's why i have been seriously thinking to stop sending him to violin class. Learning violin is not cheap here, i pay RMB500 every month. But sadly to say, after long 8 months of learning, i still cannot see any improvements from him. He even makes mistake when pressing the strings of violin and he has problem to read the music notes too. So tell me, should i stop forcing him in learning violin?

He likes drawing, basically he draws quite well. There was once he ever told me he wanted to be a make up artist cum hair stylist when he grows up. Think i won't be shocked if he tells me he wants to attend one of those cosmetology schools in Wichita next time. Whatever will be, will be. I love him, so i will definitely support his dream.

Green tea Chiffon cake, failed again

2010-09-02T08:43:00.001+08:00

I baked a green tee chiffon cake again yesterday. This was my 5 attempts, but i still could not get a nice looking chiffon cake. I have done my study online before i really started baking chiffon cake, but i still failed miserably. The chiffon cake rose quite well halfway through the baking, but it sunk gradually about 10 to 15mins before the bake time stopped.

Where did i do wrong? I have followed the recipe strictly, sigh, think i have better bake more since practice makes perfect.

Everyone can bake, but not everyone can bake a nice cake. Well, it is still edible and few pieces have already gone down my stomach this morning. Luckily, it still tastes good although it doesn't look nice.

Time flies..Christmas soon

2010-09-02T07:35:00.001+08:00

How time flies, now we are already in the fourth quarter of the year. See, we will be celebrating Christmas very soon. Woo...i just can't wait to receive Christmas cards again! I like Christmas to max, other than having Christmas present, i like to have Christmas gathering with my friends and relatives! And, of course the upmost importance thing for Christmas, that's decorating my Christmas tree!

Nothing for the anniversary

2010-08-31T15:24:00.003+08:00

Yesterday was an anniversary day for my hubby and me. We had our customary wedding seven years ago, so as commemorate this special date, we had our buffet dinner outside. We took along our kids too. So actually the celebration sounded more fun for my kids rather than for me. :-)

As for the gift, well, i didn't receive anything from my hubby. Of course, he didn't get anything from me too. We in fact did not talk to each other the day before because of some kids' issue. I at first thought he would buy gold for me as what he has promised me, but he didn't keep his promise at last. Perhaps he still kept some sour feeling in his heart that's why he didn't think of getting something good for me.

Man, he only treats you good when you treat him good!

Everything about his art class

2010-08-31T15:10:00.004+08:00

My Jo can draw quite well, so as his mother, i always be generous to send him to art class although learning art here is quite expensive as compared to Malaysia.

I paid RMB780 (RMB660 art fee and RMB120 material fee) for the Summer art class (12/7 to 16/8), and on 20/8, i paid another RMB1760 (for one semester which is 5 months) so that he can continue learning his art at this famous art center here.

RMB1760 derived from,
1. RMB660 art fee + RMB120 material fee
2. RMB760 craft fee + RM220 material fee

I got him a drawing tube at RMB48 yesterday from YoYi bookstore, so now he can keep his masterpieces nicely into this drawing tube. It can be stretched to any desired length, for Jo, this drawing tube simply looks like a GUN and he loves to play it. Been playing it for a whole night yesterday.
