Cordless Phone

We used to have a cordless phone in our house but the phone drove us bonkers. The reception was always not clear and the line broke up most of the time when we were engaged in a phone conversation. I’ve replaced the cordless phone with a conventional Telekom cord phone a few months ago but it’s so inconvenient using a cord phone as we cannot move around in the house whilst talking on the phone. I’m thinking of switching back to a cordless phone. My friend has advised me to get a good quality battery-operated cordless phone and she told me that I can get my cordless phone battery online from Interstate Batteries.com. Now, can anyone tell me which brand of battery-operated cordless phone is good?

Maid's Birthday

Today is my maid's birthday and I say she's lucky. Why? Because coincidentally my hubby has ordered a Tiramasu cheese cake from Shangri-La Hotel that's complimentary for members last night. Members must dine in the hotel to be eligible for the complimentary cake. We only found out that it's our maid's birthday today.
Hubby and mil are now enjoying their lunch at the hotel before she returns to Hong Kong this weekend - when 2 dines in the hotel, there's a 50% discount. When they come back, we will present the cake to our maid and sing happy birthday to her. The gals will love it. They love singing happy birthday, blowing candles and cutting birthday cakes. I have also given my maid some cash in a red packet. Must belanja a bit lar and make her happy. Hopefully she'll agree to extend her stay with us further after her 6-month extended stay.

Insure Your Life Today

One of my greatest fears is that either my hubby or I will pass on or be incapacitated whilst our 2 kids are still young. Who’s going to take care of them and look after their needs? That’s the reason why I feel it’s very important that everyone insures their life so that their own needs as well as their loved ones’ needs will be taken care of by the insurance compensation in the event of any unforeseen circumstances. It’s advisable that you purchase a life insurance scheme as early as possible because the premium will be lower the younger you are. There are many affordable life insurance schemes available these days. If you haven’t taken up one yet, don’t wait any further. Get yourself a life insurance today so that you and your loved ones will have a secured future.

Isu TigaP Lagi

Kalau kamu tak tau lagi, TigaP ini sekarang banyak cari susah dengan belogers. Sekarang mereka mau semua pos bayar dalam belog kamu diikuti dengan satu pos peribadi yang bukan bayar. Walaupun pos bayar tu bukan dari tigaP, kamu mesti taruh 1 pos peribadi selepas semua pos bayar kamu - dari tigaP dan dari syarikat-syarikat iklan yang lain. Buat macam ni, susah sangat kerja dengan tigaP. Kebanyakan belogers kami ni suri-rumah tangga yang ada anak-anak kecil dan sangat sibuk. Dengan polisi baru ini, mana ada masa nak tulis banyak pos bayar dan pos peribadi? Mesti cari jalan baru cari makan macam ini.

Weight Loss Supplement

I have a friend who has always been skinny during her school days but she ballooned up to almost double her body weight after the birth of her daughter 2 years ago. She told me that during her pregnancy and after the delivery of her baby, she over-ate, never exercised and never bothered to control her diet. It was when her weight kept tipping the scales on the wrong direction and her hubby told her to shed some pounds that she was really hell-bent on loosing some weight and regaining her curvy love handles again. A friend of hers recommended her to take Hydroxycut, an internationally well-known weight-loss supplement that helps to control appetite, increase energy and burn calories. She was also advised to control her food intake and exercise regularly so that she can see immediate results. Well, it’s so very true – with a healthy diet and regular exercise, you can always stay fit, trim and healthy, like yours truly :)

Lunch Box Unveiled..... Again

This is what's inside the styrofoam lunch box that my mil packed several days ago - wantan noodles with freshly roasted char siew or barbequed pork. This shop near my house sells very tasty wantan noodles and roasted meat (roasted chicken, roasted duck, char siew, siew yoke and roasted intestines). My hubby and I can spend RM30+ just on the assortment of roasted meat for lunch for the both of us.

Mandarin Class

I really wanted to find out the root of the reason why Alycia has been puking each morning before she went to school. Yesterday evening I asked Alycia if she liked attending her extra Mandarin class and she told me NO, a BIG NO. Aahhh...... could this could be one of the reasons why she puked as she was trying to avoid attending Mandarin class? Mandarin to her is quite like a foreign language for she only gets to practise conversing in it when my mil stays with us and that's like 3 times in a year. When I asked her further if she likes her regular classes, she nodded and said yes. She also said she likes her teachers and friends. There is even a fat boy who likes her and keeps tickling her and gives her stickers. So I deduce that Alycia feels stress up when she attends a foreign language class. Maybe I should consider pulling her out from the Mandarin class since I don't even intend to send her to a chinese medium school in future.

What A Waste

These are some expensive sea cucumbers which my mil has soaked for days to soften them. She had wanted to stew the sea cucumbers with chicken feet. As she was washing the sea cucumbers just a moment ago, she noticed that there were many tiny brown specks stuck inside the sea cucumbers. Based on her past experience, she told me that she has never seen such specks inside sea cucumbers before. As she felt uneasy and skeptical about the unusual spots, she threw all the sea cucumbers away! It's better to be safe than sorry she said. So off to the bin the sea cucumber went and my mil just stewed the chicken feet with dried scallops and dried cuttlefish.

Satisfying Lunch

I've had quite a heavy lunch today. First I craved for Tosei, so my hubby got his staff to buy 2 pieces (1 for me, 1 for my maid) from the Mamak restaurant. Then today, hubby's chef cooked some Malay dishes for my hubby to sample and he packed some back for me for lunch. There were green curry chicken, Thai style fried fish, deep fried baby bitter gourd (which was one of the tastiest despite the slight bitterness), deep fried squid rings, Tom Yum Gong with big prawns (I didn't eat this dish coz it was too spicy), fried assortment of vegetables, Mango Kerabu with dried shrimps Thai style (very tasty too) and deep fried pandan wrapped chicken, Thai style (which was the tastiest). Though there was a wide array of dishes, I however ate just a little of everything coz they were just too meaty and heavy. The green curry went very well with the Tosei. There is still so much food left and I've passed everything to my maid for her to savour.

Good Quality Golf Clubs

One of my erstwhile bosses is a golf enthusiast. He plays golf with his friends and business associates whenever he has the spare time. When I first worked for him, I was amazed to see his range of golf clubs, golf shoes and golf accessories. He must have spent a fortune on these golf items. Though he’s got many golf clubs, his favorite is still the Callaway golf clubs. He told me that the Callaway irons are designed in a way that gives players stability in their shots and they are known to increase distance with comfort and ease. No wonder most of his golf buddies also use Callaway golf clubs. If I ever take up golf one day, I’ll also buy the Callaway range of golf equipment.

Blinds For My Room

I always find that rooms fitted with blinds look more elegant and cozy. I am getting tired of hanging curtains in my room and am considering replacing the curtains with wood blinds. Firstly, I have to spend quite an amount of money sending my curtains to the laundry to be washed once every 2 months as they are too bulky for my 5kg washing machine. Secondly, it’s hard to find curtains with motif and colors that I fancy. Thirdly and the number one reason why I’d like to get rid of curtains in my room is because my 2 naughty toddlers love to hide behind the curtains and twirl the curtains round themselves. Don’t you think that curtains are a hazard to kids? I really have to watch over them like a hawk so that they won’t get themselves into trouble.

Blog Problem Solved!

Yay!! My blog problem is finally solved last night. I wish to thank everyone who had given me their advice, especially to Girlie as she told me that the problem could be due to some codes that I'd added to my blog. When she said codes, it didn't strike me immediately that it could be some widget codes from advertisers. It was only 2 days later that it struck me. I also prayed hard to God to help me solve my problem as I was really desperate to get help and I think He heard my cries for his help. No one seemed to be able to help me with this problem and it was such a nagging problem coz I had wasted so much time whenever my blog 'hang' and I had to log out and log in countless times each day.

So the solution was I removed the ad from The News Room. I have been adding ads from The News Room into my blog for months but never encountered any problems with my blog, except that when the video was being downloaded into my blog, my blog would slow down for a few seconds. I changed the ad and added a new one a week ago. When I finally had time to sit down and 'study' my blog last night, it finally dawned on me that it could be this ad that's the culprit. When I had removed the codes for the ad from my blog, voila.... my blog was processing fast again and didn't 'hang' anymore. I'm so glad that my ordeal is finally over after more than 1 week.

So to bloggers who have ads (esp. videos) from The News Room, please be warned that it could slow down your blog and cause the memory to run out.

Alycia Puked Again

Today is Alycia's 4th day of school. This morning, after drinking her bottle of milk, Alycia puked again immediately. This only happens when Alycia has to go to school. Yesterday, she was ok. I think Alycia must have felt very nervous going to school as she is quite a shy girl, especially when she's with strangers and crowds. I just hope this is only a fleeting phase and that by next week, Alycia would have gotten the hang of it and love going to school.
