Rainy Days

General No Comments »

It rains almost every morning now. Due to it my laundry takes 2 days to dry. Thank God that my girls’ kindy is not that strict to what they wear to school. During the days when their uniform is not dried, I just let them wear their pretty dress.

My only problem is their daddy’s uniform. He only has 3 pairs of it and recently he ordered another 2 pairs because of the rain. Sometimes I wish we have dryers at home.

Spoiled Radiator

General No Comments »

When hubby changed my Toyota Radiator sometime ago, we did not leave the old radiator with the mechanic. Maybe my radiator was not damage badly but he says it is, so that I would change to a new one and if I don’t take the old one back, he would fix it and sell it as 2nd hand radiator.

So hubby brought home the spoiled radiator and put in under the Rambutan tree; waiting for the scrap metal collector to come buy it. My daughters saw it and told me that they found a bee hives! Hahahaha…the radiator does look like a bee hives!

Radiator Runs Dry

General No Comments »

Nowadays, when the weather is extremely hot, I will try not to drive my old junk with my children around. I have bad experience with the old radiator that runs dry after 15 minutes of driving under extreme weather. Even after changing to new radiator, the indicator sometimes goes up higher than usual. That really worries me. I wonder whether Integra Radiator would do the same.

As for now, thank God for hubby’s car, I will exchange to his car when I need to go to town to do some shopping or pop up at his shop with his children.

Hide Your Photos

General No Comments »

I think arh, if Edison Chen were to use the Hide Photosâ„¢ software for his digital photo album of all his girlfriends, he would not face public humiliation and also destroy the life of all his exes. Marriage are shaken, wedding are cancelled, contracts are terminated etc.

Hide Photos â„¢ has the newest industry-standard AES photo encryption with 256-bit keys. They claim that there’s hardly anything in the world to better protect your digital photos! I think I need to get hubby to download this software because I do have a number of photos that are not meant for the public viewing. *wink, wink*. :D

pig

Wondering what they are looking at?

head

Can you guess what skull is this?

My girls ah, can really stand the smell of the carcass and squat there to observe the worms playing in their “playground”.

I have to call them a few times then only they “drag” themselves into my old junk to go to kindy.

****

Ok let me tell you since no one wanna guess. :P

It is a PIG skull! It does not make good baby gifts you know even though they will be fascinated by it.

That skull was food to the dog given by BIL! Aiyo! where can the dog chew on it. It is so hard. So it was left there to rot.

Thank God it was no longer there today. If not the whole house will stink with the foul carcass smell.

Before I was A Mom, I was Already a Mommy

General 2 Comments »

I read this poem a few days ago and was thinking that this is cute. Didn’t know that it comes with a tag too until this lovely lady, who still not yet reveal her face to blogging world, tagged me. :P

However below poem are not 100% true for me because I helped my mom to babysit my cousin from 2 months old when I was 18 years old and I was Mommy to her. I love her like my own daughter. :D

Before I was a Mom
I never tripped over toys or forgot words to a lullaby.
I didn’t worry whether or not my plants were poisonous.
I never thought about immunizations.

Before I was a Mom
I had never been puked on.
Pooped on.
Chewed on.
Peed on.
I had complete control of my mind and my thoughts.
I slept all night.

Before I was a Mom
I never held down a screaming child so doctors could do tests or give shots.
I never looked into teary eyes and cried.
I never got gloriously happy over a simple grin.
I never sat up late hours at night watching a baby sleep.

Before I was a Mom
I never held a sleeping baby just because I didn’t want to put her down.
I never felt my heart break into a million pieces when I couldn’t stop the hurt.
I never knew that something so small could affect my life so much.
I never knew that I could love someone so much.
I never knew I would love being a Mom.

Before I was a Mom
I didn’t know the feeling of having my heart outside my body.
I didn’t know how special it could feel to feed a hungry baby.
I didn’t know that bond between a mother and her child.
I didn’t know that something so small could make me feel so important and happy.

Before I was a Mom
I had never gotten up in the middle of the night every 10 minutes to make sure all was okay.
I had never known the warmth, the joy, the love, the heartache, the wonderment or the satisfaction of being a Mom.
I didn’t know I was capable of feeling so much, before I was a Mom.

This poem has been passed around to the other blogging mommies below.

Here’s the first chain, to which you add your link at the bottom after mine.

2. clumsy mommy

Used Books For My Girls

Belle, Education, Family, General, Parenting 17 Comments »

books

These are the books that I bought from Leah. I paid USD36 and RM10 for all the above. I got the Character books, Little Readers, Junior Science Explorer, Peter and Jane, I Wonder Why about Stars and Space, a book about Dinosaurs, another Science book with cool experiment and Where’s Spot?.

We (hubby n I) went to her house last night to “sapu” the above before other mommies come and grab it all. Hmmm…I am kiasu too eh? hehehe

I am glad that I got the books. Belle did not even ask for my computer to play. Once she arrived home from my mom’s today, she straight away look for the books and go threw them.

Now she is reading with her daddy. :D

My dog and I

General, Menceceh No Comments »

I had a dog once. I love that dog very much. He would be there to accompany me when I cycle to the bus stop at my village every morning when I go to school. And he would be there waiting for me when I stepped down from the school bus. The dog which I named Junior would then follow me as I cycled home. Junior was very loyal. He would be jumping around as I feed him the leftovers of my lunch or dinner.

When my father brought him back from the paddy field, he looked so miserable so much so that I took pity upon him and made him my pet. Somebody must have abandoned him on the paddy field when my father found him. Thus began a memorable relationship between Junior and myself.

neutering a dog

My father wanted to neuter him but I did not agree to it. Junior was very gentle and friendly to the people around him. I do not see any reason for him to be neutered. Furthermore it was quite costly at that time to neuter a dog. Maybe if there is a pet advisor to tell us the benefits of neutering a dog, we would have decided differently. Now it is easy to find consultation for matters relating to your pet. There is no need to go to the vet (unless it is for treatment purposes) if you just want to ask questions about your pet. You can check out Televets.com and get the answers to your questions about your pet.

Fine Lingerie

General No Comments »

Hubby bought me a fine lingerie for our wedding anniversary gift but I hardly used it. It is nice and sexy but it is not comfortable. The material is rough. Sorry, I do not know what the material is called. It is costly too. I wish he has bought me those silk or satin materials, very soft and smooth. That will feel better and I might wear it often. hehe.

Holiday After Recovering From Cancer

General No Comments »

Saw SIL on MSN video conference just now. She just went through her first chemo. She really looks pale and weak. Actually earlier after the operation to remove the cancerous lump in her breast, she taught of coming back her to rejuvenate but the trip has to be canceled because her doctor advised her to still go for chemo to be sure that all cancer cells is being eliminated.

I wish I am rich, then I would send her and her family to stay in Orlando Holiday Villa and have fun at Disney World and theme parks after she is well. I will make the booking through ThinkFlorida.co.uk because this website is especially for UK customer.

New Steering Wheel Needed

General No Comments »

Sometimes I felt ashamed when other people sit in my car especially with the condition of my steering wheel. The leather peeled a lot and even my girls asking me to get new ones! They even tell me to buy new and bigger car!

The thing is no one has time to bring the car to the workshop to change the steering wheel. I think hubby will do it only when the steering wheel tercabut! :P

Anyway, I was browsing through a website that sells Mustang parts, I wonder whether below steering wheel can fit in my car. :)

At 16 Months Plus Plus

He weighs at 9.2kg. Height unknown. The nurse did not measure him mah.

Tummy still a lil bit bloated. Informed the nurse during the check up just now. She said if he is not crying, he pass motion everyday, he eats and drinks well, nothing to worry about. Just apply ointment and the wind will be gone gradually. But I am still going to bring him to the specialist if his tummy is still bloated after he finishes his Colic syrup.

Kesian seeing him so thin and with bloated tummy. I know how uncomfortable it is to have a bloated tummy. This boy sometimes have no appetite to eat. No I did not feed him hoodia. :P Now I know how my mother felt like when bringing me up. I was like him too! Always no appetite to eat and very skinny. I wonder whether I have bloated tummy. hehe

Oh No! This Blog is PR3 Now

General No Comments »

This blog has been de-ranked from PR4 to PR3. I have expected that though since I started blogging for money, I don’t have much traffic as before. This is the consequences of writing too many paid post. :P

Oh well, there isn’t much opp for PR4 blog except from Loudlaunch, I have to bid farewell to $10 per campaign. :( As for the rest of the networks, they want either PR3 or PR5 and above. So, it does not make much different for me. As for LL, I seldom manage to grab much opp from Loudlaunch.

Anyway, I will not let it remain at PR3 forever; I will try to find ways to increase my PR back to 4 or even higher. :D

What If?

General, Home No Comments »

We will never know what will happen to us or our properties. Only God knows. We are taught to take reasonable precautions to prevent any accidents or mishaps. That reminds me of the robbery that happened about a month ago at one of my neighbor’s house. Not only was she robbed, she was attacked until she fell unconscious. And all these things happened during broad daylight. The robber climbed over the fence and managed to break open the house door before ransacking the house.

When this news reached my family members, they were very troubled. The robbery occurred within walking distance to my house. Furthermore, there is no fence around my house and anybody can just drive in to the house. What if the robbers come to steal any valuable things but did not find any? Would they then hurt my children or my mother-in-law? Would they set the house on fire in their frustration? Wah…if that happens, then I would lose all my things. Maybe I should consider buying home insurance for my house. Hmm… will ask my husband about it.

Debt Help

Family, Finance, General, Menceceh No Comments »

I think most of Malaysian follows the Nurin case. An 8 years old girl was kidnapped when she went to the night market all by herself and recently her body was found dead with signs of sexual torture. However her parent denied that the body belongs to their daughter and requested for another DNA test. Rumors had it that her taxi driver father owes the loan shark a lot of money, so his innocent daughter became the victim when her father can’t pay up his loan.

I am not so sure about here but in UK, there is avenue where you can find debt help such as IVA or consolidation loan. When it comes to money, it can be discussed. Like IVA, an agreement can be made to pay a certain amount from the total loan amount for a period of time. After that you will not be hassled anymore by debt companies, because your debt is being looked after by an IVA. Legal action can be taken towards the debt companies if they ask you for more money.

Precious like can be spared. If possible, please live within our means; don’t be tempted by your neighbours big house, big car or latest gadgets. Be content with what God has blessed you.

Unique Gift

General, Shopping No Comments »

People are very creative nowadays because we always want to give something special to our loved ones. I know one church member who is very creative. She is very good with arts and crafts, photography and sewing. Every friend’s birthday or wedding, she will handmade her own birthday or wedding gift for them according to their personality.

However people like us, who are not creative, go shopping to look for unique and special gifts. She spends her time and energy making unique gift, we spend time and energy walking from one shopping complex to another look for the perfect gift. To those who have computer at home, we spend time browsing from one website to another.

Talking about unique gift, I got one to share. Check out WickedMeanPosters.com. You just need to send them your digital photographs, they will generate a poster-sized document in a form of WickedText, Mean Split or Twisted Matrix where you can print it on your home printer or at any local printing shop.

Do know what I am talking about, see for yourself. :P As for the WickedText, up close, you see text, and from a distance, you see the picture. They are custom crafted, and each letter is individually colored to reflect its position in the picture.

To those who think that they can sell this kind of poster, they also have a reseller program. You can get the detail at http://wickedmeanposters.com/reseller.html.

Unique Photo Gifts

Family, General No Comments »

We are getting more creative each day. Now you don’t only give a photo frame with one of your pictures on it. There is digital frame where you can have many pictures of you in it, even video clips of yourself. With the latest technology, your photo gifts can come in the form of blanket, bedding, pillow and even dog beds. What they will do is, your favorite picture is specially dyed into a photo blanket, photo bedding, photo pillows and photo dog beds.

I would love to have one of these. Oh No! I want 3. One sets with my hubby’s photo on it, so that I can “sleep with him” every night. And another one with pictures of my 3 children, so that all 3 can sleep with me every night without fighting who is going to sleep on my left, right or on top on me! And the 3rd set with picture of me. My children can have their mommy as their blanket! :D

Almost A Pilot

Dove, General No Comments »

Back in 1994, I befriend a handsome young pilot-to-be. He is a Penang guy who is studying at the Flying Academy here. I got to know him because we attended the same church. He was a straight A student, very talented in music too. He plays almost all the musical instrument; drum, guitar, violin, piano, organ, saxophone and whatever instrument that he can get his hand on. He self learned all those, no music class for him and he is a worship leader too. Besides that he is a very good swimmer, a life guard too. To me, he is the perfect guy. But I do not have love feelings towards him ok, I am much in love with my hubby (then boyfriend). :P

His time on earth was not long when God decided that he is more needed in heaven than earth and took him back home through a plane crash. It was very shocking for me and everyone in church. It happened on the last paper of my major exam and we were supposed to travel together to Genting Highland to attend the church camp the next day. Instead, we (me and my other friends) travel to Penang for his funeral.

I wasn’t sure how the fatal accident happened but I am sure his parent looked for the best Aviation Law Firms and got themselves an Aviation Attorney to investigate and get full compensation for their losses.

If I am hurt, I will get a lawyer

In the recent accident that happened to me where a motorbike hit my side door while I was turning into the lane to my house, thank God we are spared from any injury. I came down from the car to confront an angry old Malay man who blames me for the reason of his fall. Well, he fell into the drain. You see, the junction to my house is right opposite a school and everyone goes slowly because the school just ended with lots of school children crossing the road. Obviously, the old was tailing too close that he was not able to see my signal.

Because I was the only Chinese there, all the Malays that was at that place shouted and scolded me as though I am the guilty one. Thank God they did not beat me up as what I heard from other friends that they would do, if not I will hire a personal injury attorney.

If hubby still practices law, then I would save some money hiring a personal injury attorney. Well now, if I ever need one, I have to look for An Attorney For You to help me find the best representation for my legal needs.

Getting A Good Used Car

Finance, General No Comments »

I just came back from Tesco. Went there to look for swimsuit but they no longer selling them. Hai…looks like have to go to Jusco tomorrow. On the way back home I look for used car shop because I intended to get a better car than what I am currently using now. There are so many of them. Don’t know which one is reliable and honest. Don’t want to be conned buying a used car that not in good condition. They outside may look new but the engine might have some faulty, I wouldn’t know right? Then it comes the price. Everyone wants a good deal.

If you are living in Missouri, you can stop wasting gas driving around and just go straight to Conklin Fangman. They’ve got the best selection of Kansas City, Missouri used cars and new cars in all the makes and models that you’re looking for. Whether you’ve been looking for Buick, GMC, Pontiac, Cadillac, or others, this Missouri car dealer has exactly what you’re looking for.

Actually, I never like to talk about politics but sometimes you cannot help it to talk about it when the decision made by the politicians and the government affects our life. If you like to talk about american politics, now you don’t have to wait for your friends at the coffees shop to debate the issue about Iraq war, US foreign policies, gay issues, abortion etc. Register yourself with Argue With Everyone Political Forums. It is a free debate forum.
