'Hubby' Kisses 'My' Butt !

2009-04-07T09:21:00.001+08:00

What's this? Why talking something so privacy here? Are you thinking something naughty? Hahaha........ don't be mistaken from the title I wrote here!

This was what happened! Hubby's car kisses My car's butt !

Actually it was all my fault! I didn't pay attention while reversing my car this morning. Hubby used to park his car across the road right in front of my house. I was going to take my girl to school at 7:15am just now. My son woke up at that time and he ran towards the entrance calling me. Me, so adore the little boy, and kept waving to my boy while reversing my car. By the time I heard the beep from the sensor, there was already a "bang" !

I told hubby the 'good news' once he woke up. He could say nothing but just shoke his head. Careless me, have to spend extra on repairing car again! *sigh*

Earth Hour 2009 Campaign

2009-03-27T09:48:00.002+08:00

I'm here to remind everyone about the Earth Hour campaign tomorrow, 28 March 2009! Will you support and practise it? Actually, do you know about it? Just switch off the lights at your place from 8:30pm-9:30pm to show your love and care to the Earth. Yes, as simple as that to stop global warming. Of course, we should try to avoid using other electrical appliances at that hour. We can have some home activities fun with family members like telling ghost stories, singing, playing piano, eating, .......etc. We better don't smoke or drive the car as this pollutes the environment too.

There are many comments about this campaign. Some support it, but some protest it. One of my friend thinks that this kind of campaign is nonsense. In his opinion, the authority should impose high tax for those companies which cause enviroment hazzard. The money obtained should be used to educate the people about going green and ways to stop pollution. Yes, he is right too. We should practise the environment friendly acts everyday and not just an hour in a year! I am so naive and haven't thought of it.

Anyway, I will still support the campaign if I can. I will be in my parent-in -law's house and I'm not sure whether they will practise or not. No matter how, if it doesn't harm anyone or anything, just do your little part to save the Earth and us!

Car DVD Player As Companion While Travelling

2009-03-21T10:55:00.005+08:00

I came back from Cameron Highlands yesterday after a night stay over there. It was mainly planned for the kids on this short term school holidays. My in-laws were joining us too as we had a steamboat gathering up there. It was kind of different along the journey if compared to last time. The kids enjoyed themselves so much on their father's new car DVD player. It was an economical system with only a receiver, a remote control and a small screen which cost less than a thousand altogether. This is a trendy style among the youngsters. I am just worried that this habit may hurt the kids' eyes.

My mother-in-law disagreed with the idea of having such lifestyle in a car! She keeps warning his dearest son not to watch DVD while driving. Hubby may not be able to pay full attention while driving and this is quite dangerous too. I feel the same too. I would not object if the system comes with GPS device. That is more useful for a man without direction sense like him. Too bad, his current car DVD player doesn't contain one.

Hubby is going to be addicted in it already. He told me that he was looking for some quality car speakers with good sound surround too. Hope he won't spend too much on that. We have to save up more for our new house. Anyway, car DVD player plays a role as good companion when hubby travels alone outstations, so that he won't fall asleep when driving.

Ladypo - Feminine Hygiene Care

2009-03-16T19:47:00.004+08:00

My beautician has encouraged me to step forward in carrying the vaginal test. The purpose of the test is to identify any harmful vaginal microorganism in each woman's vaginal. I am very sure there are of course a lot of bacterias in our vaginal, but I was quite worried to get to know more. Eventually, I did the test last Saturday.

To my shocking amazed, I was told to have quite a serious condition. I couldn't breath as I listened more. I was so scared and seemed to be hard to accept the fact. Well, I didn't blame the lab assistant as she was responsible in telling me the truth. From the computerised analysis, I was found infected with candida, blood clogs and even dark blood clogs! The candida infection may cause itchiness and inflammation. The main cause of getting it is, either we often sits on the toilet seat in public toilet or due to the habit of washing panties together with other clothings. In the mean time, the dark blood clogs may cause hysteromyoma and tumour if the size increases. My body started to shiver when I heard this.

My beautician and friend tried to calm me down. They consoled me not to think much as there is still something there to prevent. To know earlier is better than not knowing it at all. At least, there is still hope for all women who have the same problem like me. I was then introduced of this, Ladypo product. This feminine hygiene care product was brought in by one of Malaysia's famous actress. Do check out the website link attached. Women shall not feel shy if there is any problem inside them. We should be brave to face it and treat it. It is the right of all women to protect their lives!

I accepted the treatment. I shall go for the second test next month to observe my health improvement.

What Is Your Main Purpose To Pursue Study?

2009-03-11T22:37:00.003+08:00

I am a bit mad and disappointed with what my parents said this afternoon. Till today only I understand how they look at me. They didn't say it harsh but instead in a more joking manner. They mentioned out that they regret to afford me till university as I have wasted their money for not being employed now.

I am really confused of the purpose to pursue study till higher level. All the time I thought that the more we study, it helps to shape up a knowledgeable and reasonable mind in a person. Despite that, my parents think that a degree certificate is very important for someone's future in work. The degree holder should work according to his subject field and earn more money. What for waste money if not doing in that field after completing study? And somemore being a home maker after marriage like me now!

I was frustrated. I answered back that I'd love to go back to work if not because of my kids. I rather stay in socialise with more friends than staying at home, yelling away while parenting. Furthermore, I'm considered 'working' without pay! Why? Why are my parents' thinking so conservative? Things which they experience are just too little.

Am I really so free and nothing to do while at home? If so, why can't I find time sitting down reading some magazines and newspapers? Not even to the toilets!! Ridiculous!

So, what is your opinion of the main purpose to pursue study?

Unconfident In Foreign Maids

2009-03-02T09:49:00.001+08:00

There are more and more serious cases about foreign maids hurting their bosses and mistresses. The trembling recent news about the vicious attack of a maid to her lady boss. That was not just a minor harming but was considered an attempt murder case. The news can be read from here.

Today, I'm very certain that I'm not going to take any Indonesian maid when I move to my new house. I rather spend money for having maid-on-call. The maid just needs to come in by appointment and work for few hours and then leave the house. Isn't it better not to have extra burden at home? I do not need to worry the kids when I'm out, and I can save up for the maid's expenses like food and clothing.

Life will be more peaceful and healthy without a maid at home. Of course, there is no doubt we still need help on house cleaning some time.

Neways International Health Products

2009-02-24T23:55:00.000+08:00

I am a little bit fear with news around about human nowadays being attacked by cancer so easily. The worst to it is, there are more and more cancer patients ranged from the young generations. This makes me so worry about my family and own kids.

This is what I do now......replacing home daily use products to Neways health products to minimize the expose of us to the harmful chemical substances.

I almost changed all my skincare products, hair shampoo and conditioner, toothpaste, laundry wash and some of the cosmetic. There are proved shown that 25% causes of cancer come from the chemical substance like, Sodium Lauryl Sulfate (SLS), Sodium Laureth Sulfate (SLES), Fluoride, Animal Fat (Tallow), Aluminium, Collagen, Kaolin, Lanolin, Mineral Oil, Petrolatum, Artificial Colouring and Artificial Fragrances. Users are convinced to be safe from all these dangerous chemical substances from Neways products. Most of these health products are edible too. You won't die or poisoned even though you accidentally swallow the ingredients.

To me, health is the most important thing in life. Without health, there will never be prosperity and happiness! Agree?

Signature Kitchen Showroom In Ipoh

2009-02-19T17:04:00.000+08:00

It was the first time I stepped into Signature Kitchen Showroom located at Ipoh Garden South. I still can't figure out how to design my new house. My mind is completely blank. This red kitchen cabinets really attracted me.

The design looks so modern with sharp colour. I haven't thought that it could be so nice for a kitchen at home.

Looks simple but elegant.

This can be done if you own a bungalow. This design needs more space.

Signature Kitchen offers free design for potential customers. This is such a great value to me. Anyway, this company is known of its pricey products. I am not certain of whether to hand them my house layout for them to design. But, why not huh? Since it is free. Might as why get some idea out from them. I shall peek through other companies' showrooms before making any decision.

Happy Valentine's Day

2009-02-14T12:27:00.002+08:00

HUG & KISSES from MummyInVain

Pray For Peace

2009-02-09T10:15:00.001+08:00

The Chinese celebrate Chap Goh Meh as Valentine's Day in their culture. I didn't celebrate as I follow the western style. Well, it is somehow not much special to a married woman with children now. Just another reason for a special (in term of 'price') dinner.

Due to the world's economic downturn and the unstable political status in Perak, I guess this coming Valentine's Day would be a quiet one. I have told hubby not to buy anything for me and so do I, to save up our money. This would be a good news to him too .... ;p

I pray for peace in our living area. I really don't hope to hear any fighting or anyone get hurt all because of the greed among politicians. There are still some protestants around in town, and policemen are everywhere to keep them under control. Hope that they find a solution as soon as possible. I don't want the government to announce Perak in an emergency status one day like Bangkok last time. This may cause a lot of trouble to the residence.

Happy Chap Goh Meh !

Shall I Continue My Piano Lesson?

2009-02-07T14:18:00.000+08:00

Human always has a confused mind. We can't really remain in the current status for long. When we already have something, we would then think of another thing. Human will always not satisfied with what they have. Like me, I have been a SAHM for almost 10 months. I do enjoy it sometimes, but it also means that I don't have my own financial status. I feel like getting back to work, but must be a flexible job as I still need to take care of the kids.

I have found a piano school nearby my house here recently. I was told that the school is offering adult piano lessons. I am considering whether to further continue my piano skill since I had stopped at Grade 5 when I was 14 years old. I can then take around 4 years to complete Grade 8 and receive a certificate. I shall then be eligible to teach students. Frankly speaking, I don't have much confidence in myself. I am not quite sure whether I can persist my dream or not though my interest on it is not that high. My purpose is just to keep myself skillful to earn a living. I am worried that my parents and hubby would think that I am wasting my time and money.

Well, if really I were to play piano again, I guess I need some time to catch up the basic and soften my fingers. Not easy though.

Review On All's Well Ends Well 2009

2009-02-05T13:28:00.000+08:00

I vowed to watch "All's Well End's Well 2009" during Chinese New Year. Sounds a bit too serious huh! :p This is one of the ever popular comedy which I miss so much. I can still remember the entertaining "1992's All's Well End's Well" starring Leslie Cheung and Stephen Chow. Anyway, both of these movie don't carry the same content and characters. Watching this funny movie during the Chinese New Year brings me feel the festive mood.

General Sypnosis :-

Kei's (Ronald Cheng) eldest sister Sandra (Sandra Ng) is a hot-tempered magazine editor and her temperament has left her single all this while. One of the family rules is that none of the siblings could get married before their eldest sister. Kei seeks help from the famous Casanova, Koo Chai (Louis Koo), to pretend to court his eldest sister and lure her into the mood of love. With Sandra falling in love with Koo Chai, he in turn falls in love with another girl, Mun.

It is quite an insane and silly movie, especially when Sandra Ng appears in the role. I was amused and almost burst laughing into tears when I saw her rough and unpleasant gestures. I guess, if I were a man, I would not have her as my life partner......haha!

A Place Which Brings Good Fortune

2009-02-02T10:06:00.005+08:00

The Chinese New Year holidays were quite occupied to me. We had family and relative gatherings as usual. We even had dinner in the restaurant with family. On the third day of the festive season, hubby, the kids and I went to Lenggong with his friends for river fish lunch. That was a famous place in a small village. Too bad, I had forgotten to snap some photos because too busy with the food. Hehehee.....

After lunch, we proceeded further away before reaching Gerik, to a famous Thai temple. This temple is well-known of its responses in prayers. That's what I heard. I'm not sure whether you have heard of that. I just can't tell its exact location as I'm not so familiar with the route.

Most of the people pray for their dream. Well, I didn't pray for the perfect breast augmentation uk though I hope so, but pray that my kids would be released from skin problem suffering forever. If I would like an effective plastic surgery, I wouldn't doubt but go for Mya Cosmetic Surgery as it is famous of its experienced surgeons and number of successful cases. I just need to go through a simple and safe procedure under quick recovery. Anyway, I really hope for my kids' health in the first place.

May we all be blessed !

May this car brings luck to the driver and passengers !

Believe it or not! This Goddess blessed tree may bring good fortune to you. How? And, what were these people doing there? They were trying their luck by rubbing on the tree trunk. Rub till you see the digits. Most of the people who bought the numbers had indeed made some money from it!!! We didn't try, as we didn't believe it at first. If we happen to visit again, I'm going to try my luck then.

Happy Chinese OX Year !

HAPPY CHINESE OX YEAR !!!

Happy reunion ......

Most Expensive Pair Of Shoes In Life

2009-01-19T18:30:00.002+08:00

When I heard someone who spent more than hundred to buy a pair of shoes, I will always tell myself that I won't do that. I believe that I would rather spend on clothings than just a pair of shoes, as it will wear off very fast. But then, I have done something which is right against my principle last Friday.

RM125 after 10% discount !

I was desperately looking for a pump for the coming Chinese New Year. I thought one pair would be definitely more than enough.

Before stepping out of the shop, I spotted another pair on the shelf. The owner told me that they have put this pair of clog sandal under promotion.

Extra RM62 spent on the same day!

I was a bit regret after that, because this clog like sandal is not good to wear at all. I think it won't last long too. Either it wears off quickly or being dumped by me in the trash bin! That's called "women" !!!

Pasta Pot Arrived

2009-01-14T11:06:00.000+08:00

Based on my earlier post about my victory in receiving a pasta pot for free, it has arrived at my doorstep yesterday morning. It is aluminium inset base, and it can cook 500g of pasta each time.

This pot has a lock-in draining lid, and that's why it has many tiny holes on top. It is kind of useful as it can be used for cooking porridge too. Really appreciate my friend, Sue Sue for her gift. It seems like my early housewarming gift.....hehe....

I have to find out more recipes for spaghetti, penne and macaroni. They are my girl's favourite. Where else? Details can be found in Sue Sue's cooking blog then. She is a great cook.

Sad And Disappointed

2009-01-13T08:59:00.004+08:00

I attended my hubby's pub's grand opening event last night. It was raining cats and dogs. I was somehow seduced by the varieties of buffet food.

Actually I don't feel much fun to go to these kind of happening places nowadays. Maybe I'm kind of old already. Well, I was not quite happy with hubby that night.

It may not be good to grumble or talk bad about hubby here. I just want a place to rant out, and I'm always speechless when confronting him. Once he finished his food, he left me with my ex-colleagues till he didn't have a sense of my existence. When I complained to him, he just made excuse that he doesn't familiar with my friends. When seeing other couples where the husband took care of his wife dearly, I could feel the sourness pouring deep into my heart. Where was he then? He was accompanying his friends instead. I was fed up. I couldn't stay there any longer. I commented this after few similar cases.

I'm just a very simple woman. I still thirst for love and care. I do miss my teenage life where I was always protected and loved by guys who admired me. *grinned* No more those life anymore! I just have my kids in my life now. I can't receive much love from hubby anymore. I can only give my love to my lovely children now.

I Have Won A Pasta Pot !! Yipee!

2009-01-09T10:09:00.003+08:00

I am so so lucky! I am so so happy! I am so so excited! I am so so grateful to my sponsor, Sue Sue who has released her love as my New Year gift! Yup, I have won myself a pasta pot worth RM180 from her! Do check out how I was picked from her list. My luck was given all because of this little boy, Ee Thern. He has chosen me out of the long dreaded list.

Sue Sue has requested me for my mailing address, and I'll soon be receiving my present next week. I love this gift as I can cook all kinds of pasta for my kids even though I still don't know how to use. They love to eat especially spagetthi. I wonder I can use it just like the way of an usual pot.

Will soon publish another update post once I receive my surprise.

BOLT Is Known Of Its Superbark!

2008-12-23T22:36:00.005+08:00

It was like decade since my last drop of words in this blog. I was away from updating not only this blog, but also other blogs of mine. My family was down with some unsubsided fever viruses. First, it was my girl for six days, followed by me with another six days. The worst was, my son got it for the next six days! Lastly, it was my parents' turn. What kind of a circulation was that?? It was really scary to me!

Due to the increase of age, I felt really suffering when having fever. I vomitted whatever I ate, and even fainted for few seconds once at home. Now only I understand what others mean that having chicken pox or measles during old age suffer more than young age.

After three weeks "sick leave", I couldn't wait any longer and there I went with both my kids for BOLT movie.

BOLT is the cute dog in the picture.

The other two animals are the co-stars in the movie.

Synosis:-

For super-dog Bolt (voiced by John Travolta), every day is filled with adventure, danger and intrigue – at least until the cameras stop rolling. When the canine star of a hit TV show is accidentally shipped from his Hollywood soundstage to New York City, he begins his biggest adventure yet – a cross-country journey through the real world. Armed only with the delusions that all his amazing feats and powers are real, and with the help of two unlikely traveling companions – a jaded, abandoned housecat named Mittens (voiced by Susie Essman), and TV-obsessed hamster in a plastic ball named Rhino – Bolt discovers he doesn’t need superpowers to be a hero. Miley Cyrus (“Hannah Montana”) brings her vocal talents to the role of Penny, Bolt’s human co-star on the television series.

My kids and I like the movie very much. The story is entertaining and quite funny too. My girl giggled away throughout the movie. I didn't read about its preview before entering the cinema. When the movie started, I really thought that Bolt has amazing powers, especially impressed with its devastating Superbark! Bolt looks cool! Later on then only I realised that human was behind that! Human was just using Bolt to be the television hero. Poor dog!

Anyway, there was a scene in the end which touched our hearts. Even Bolt has no superpowers, it was very brave and loyal to its human. It risked its life to save its owner. It showed its true Superbark and of course, Bolt and its human were saved! If you watch the movie, you will understand what I mean.

5.11 Tactical Series

2008-11-29T11:39:00.002+08:00

I often feel that it is hard to buy a gift for men. There are not much choices for guys beside shirts, wallets, belts and shoes. Not like women and kids, I can buy clothes, toys, accessories, stationery, and even kitchen utilities for women!

Anyway, I found something slightly different as gifts for men. I feel that 5.11 Tactical series are best for men especially if they are working as law enforcement, military and firefighting professionals. The product series enhance safety and convenience. The series includes normal apparels like shirts, pants, boots, gloves and other accessories like eyewear, belts and bags. I like its watches. Nice design and durable too. If I would get a present for my hub, a watch would be perfect for him!

Ants Hunt

2008-11-25T11:18:00.000+08:00

How do you feel when you see this? yeerrr.....so disgusting right? The ants have been wandering around my house for some time. They were red ants. My parents have used every method to get rid of them, but to no avail. They then thought of trying "ant sugar"! See how hungry the ants were?

This is the moment you can see little ants cooperate in carrying food back to their nest. The next day, I found that the 'food' was almost finished by those little things. And, it works! I didn't see an ant moving around since then. Maybe, you can try this if your house has the same problem.

This Made Me Stoned!

2008-11-17T21:15:00.004+08:00

Aside of my Bangkok story, I was somehow quite unsatisfied with hubby last night. While sms with my best friend, I was told that she just came back from Genting Highlands after Hacken Lee concert last night. I was kind of 'jealous' as her hubby treats her nice and always brings her on short trips in weekends. I have been longed for an experience in the huge hall for concert.

My hubby suddenly rang after my sms talk. I blamed hubby for not bringing me anywhere as he is always working. I accused him for not treating me good. Of course, I related my friend's story to him. Guess what he said!

Hubby: "Ok, Ok, I'll bring you to ANITA MUI's concert next time !!!!????"

How should I react then??? *red face; stoned*

Day Trip To Ayuttaya, Bangkok

2008-11-15T16:38:00.000+08:00

*backdated post*

We went to Ayuttaya on the 3rd day in Bangkok. Just want to share few photos taken there. My hubby's purpose was to pray in temples there. He is always in believe of God to greet for success in his career.

See how holy he was!!

As for me, I prayed for a beautiful and healthy skin for both my kids. It was sunny and hot. We then went for fish feeding.

Those were 'giant' catfish! Mind your steps, once fall into the pond, you are finished! They were really hungry at all time!

View of the villages across the river.

Elephant ride....scary and worried as that was my 1st time.

Seminar On Teviron Technology

2008-11-06T19:06:00.002+08:00

I am glad to announce here about a seminar on teviron technology this Friday, 7 November in Shooting Club, Jalan Gopeng, Ipoh at 7:30pm. What is it about? Please do read my previous post here about anion clothing.

The seminar is all about health matters, and what anion clothings can help us to pursue a healthy life. It is just that amazing. If you have been suffering from pains or terrible illness, you should somehow attend this seminar. Who knows? Your life may change from then on. Believe it or not! Just take this opportunity to understand better and listen to their testimonials.

Remember, "Health is Wealth", don't you agree?

Safari World vs Marine Park, Bangkok

2008-11-04T10:17:00.012+08:00

Hubby and I were as if in honeymoon trip during the visit to Bangkok. We didn't go anywhere but shopping and eating on the first day. On the next day, we went to Safari World vs Marine Park which are attached to each other. This was scheduled mainly for the kids. No choice, hubby and I were like back to those courting days......though the feeling may not be exactly the same already. *sigh*

We rented a van for Thai Baht 1800 per day. Adding up with tolls and petrol, it cost us Thai Baht 2800 at the end of the day! Our driver drove us in to the safari. It is built under the nature of the wild's habitat.

The animals were so free and relax, strolling and munching on the grass.

Do enjoy some of the scenes of the animal's life within their world.

At the entrance of the zoo, after the safari ride.

Scene of the floating market at Chao Phraya river.

This sign board did attract me! I am certainly very agreed to its reputation!

These photos were not for free la...have to pay tips ler.... ;p

What was this lady doing in the cage??!! Guess and see!

We supposed to catch up some shows available. Too bad, we were quite late when arriving and we managed to watch the dolphin show only.

Nice pose huh...... :)

We also went for ride in a boat along the river through the artificial forest. I somehow was a little scared by the sound and fake snakes along the river...... coward like a baby ^.^

Back From Bangkok Holiday!

2008-10-29T17:39:00.001+08:00

Five days tour were rather long to me. I missed my kids so much, that I couldn't wait to go home. Anyway, I like Bangkok but not its disastrous traffic jam. Bangkok is a shopping heaven to me. The Platinum Fashion is a must go shopping complex. All the clothes are so cheap there, between RM10 to RM25 per piece! A piece of trench coat there costs only RM20 !!! Believe it or not! Well, maybe the material is not the superb one, but is acceptable. What do you expect with that low price?

The Bangkok airport is big, competent to our KLIA. There are beautiful scene for photo taking.

There was something funny on that day I first stepped into Bangkok airport. I was like a silly 'kampung' lady who hasn't been to the city. I didn't know how to on the tap for hand washing after pee in the toilet! I turned, pushed and even hit the water tap to make the water running down! A young girl next to me showed me the sensor at the bottom of the tap.......ar...ar.....show your hand there, and the water will run down!!!! My God! It was so embarrassing! Hubby and friends laughed at me when they heard that. I learnt a lesson here.

Take a look at the colourful taxis in that country. They use Toyota Corolla as their cabs.

Scenic spots which I had visited to be updated in next post.

Blog Break To Bangkok

2008-10-19T19:33:00.003+08:00

I thought I can't go at first, due to my kids. They are suffering bad reverse reaction after taking the Poron and 'Sam Tong Char'. I have been changing my mind again and again on to go and not to go. The kids are staying at my mum's place for sure. They can't walk well now. No choice, their tickets have to be wasted.

Today, their condition seem to be better. Most of the boils are dried and their wounds are drying as well. They just need to have more rest and move less. Since I don't want to waste my tickets, hubby and I have decided to go for the flight early tomorrow morning. My parents have agree to take care of them both for me.

Hopefully, my kids will recover completely when I'm back. I'm actually a bit worried that there might be any outbreak when I'm away. I've told my mum to call me if anything worse happen. Hubby and I would fly back immediately. God bless them! *finger crossed*

I may not be writing for a week. I still owe my friend's a tag here. Hope she doesn't mind. I'll surely miss my kids a lot. This trip is supposed to be planned for them. :(

Report Phone Numbers

2008-10-11T00:23:00.003+08:00

There are five missed calls with the same number found in my handset today. I don't know about this number. I somehow guess that it maybe from those banks who ask me to apply for loans or some kind of marketing companies which plead me to join their membership package. It is quite irritating to receive such calls.

Anyway, I have made a Phone Number Reporting to check out the number. Hopefully it was not any of the emergency call. The answer is, I am right! The number was from one of those banks!

How About Organic Products Business?

2008-10-11T00:12:00.002+08:00

I am considering of starting own new shop for selling organic products and rice. I haven't done much research, and still not so sure about it. I just know that more and more people know about the importance of health, and they would then choose healthy food for their living. Yes, some may say that it is costly to maintain, but we can always go for partly organic. Just replace some of our grocery with organic, and mixed white rice with organic rice. There are organic skincare product in the market too. At least, we avoid taking in too much preservatives, coloring and flavoring in daily life.

Could this work? Could I really make profit with this business? I am so confuse here. Not much support found from parents and hubby. Anyone can give me any comment or suggestion here? Just would like to collect more opinions......

Prison Inmate Search

2008-10-10T23:45:00.003+08:00

It is no more difficult to look for someone who has been lost contact with. Technology has been so advance with those super detection system in the internet. One can be located easily under federal inmate search throughout its database. Of course, there must be some information provided about the person you are looking for. It won't cost much here. It does help out a lot of people.

Anion Clothing Using Teviron Technology

2008-10-10T23:34:00.004+08:00

This is one of the new technology I found recently. Actually anion clothing is being introduced in Japan for more than 30 years. Followed by Taiwan, Hong Kong and Malaysia has just accepted it in year 2006.

The anion clothings are designed using Teviron technology. They are made in high quality material with amazing negative ion technology. It is believed to solve all kinds of diseases and problems in body.

There are so many good testimonials about the effectiveness of anion clothings. Those customers praise the products as miracles. From the book I read, it says that anions are important to balance the pH to slight alkaline in body. This helps to conquer cancer cells. In my opinion, I feel that any cancer patients should give a possible try on the anion clothings if financially supported. A safer way than radiotherapy though.

Family Tree

2008-10-10T23:19:00.002+08:00

Isn't it a good idea to prepare a very own family tree as reference for our family young generations? It is wise to let our children and grandchildren know about their family history. I won't know that I could do it in the internet. Let's see how I could fill up my blank family tree with bundle of information. Relative who stay far across the sea could now view my family tree to keep informed of our life here.

Not Again!

2008-10-10T23:12:00.002+08:00

I fed up! Why on earth are there such people who like to create havoc to the world? I was shocked enough to read the political crisis being evoked again in Bangkok yesterday. It was just a month ago, and I thought everything is settled now. I have been postponing my trip from 8 Sept to 20 Oct. I will be in the flight to Bangkok week after next. That bad news did shatter my heart.

Don't tell me that I am not be able to go again this time. If it is so, I would just cancel and will never postpone for the third time. Such a waste of money! Anyway, there is still no announcement of emergency status in Bangkok yet.

Pray that my family and I could enjoy the trip. And, come back to homeland in one piece.

Trendy Maternity Clothing

2008-10-09T20:33:00.002+08:00

Many people ask me whether I would still want another third baby in my life. I am still considering. Sometimes I really hope to have one more baby girl. A more gentle and girlish one. After all, there is no hurry since I have a boy and a girl already. The matter is, it is not easy to support a family with more than two kids at home.

I still remember those sweet days with them in my womb. I didn't have much morning sickness. I even could eat well, and sleep well. The most consoling was, I didn't get gain much weight after giving birth. That was because I didn't look plump and swollen during the nine months pregnancy. Here I am now, slim like before marriage. Thanks a lot to both my babies for loving mummy so much!

On the other hand, there was something which dissatisfied me instead while conceiving. I didn't have a nice maternity clothing at all within the two times pregnancy. I was just wearing those old-fashioned maternity long dresses given by my sister-in-law. I felt damn hot, but just bore with it, thinking of not wasting any money for any maternity clothing since I just needed them for nine months. Nowadays, there are so many Trendy Maternity Clothes in online stores. Why was I so thrifty that time?

If I were to conceive again, this skinny Paige Maternity Jeans is what I will definitely going to get. It attracts my eyes, and it doesn't seem to be like a maternity jean at all.

This Juicy Maternity Jeans looks nice too. I like its colour. Its material is stretchable and comfortable too.

Argh....feeling like wanting to have baby again! No lah......the confinement period was always nightmare to me.

Nine Gods Festival Procession

2008-10-06T19:13:00.007+08:00

It has been years where I didn't join in the crowd for Nine Gods Festival procession each year. This time I decided to watch it with my kids yesterday morning. Troops from outstations were joining the procession this year. It was bright and sunny. Everyone was sweating, but we all enjoyed the scene.

Not only the Chinese, Indians and Malays took part in the event too. Some photos taken for sharing here. Couldn't take good photos as my son was pulling my leg wherever I went! ;p

One of the medium even pierced a fan through his mouth!! Yerrr....quite scary!

Romance in "Painted Skin"

2008-10-02T00:30:00.007+08:00

I thought this is an exciting movie, and I suggested to watch this with hubby last Monday night. I roughly glanced through the preview in the television and it seems to be exciting with story of war between human and spirits. This famous actress in the poster is indeed very attractive. She acts as a devil who hunts for human hearts.

A Nutshell Review

Based upon the classic literature of Liao Zai, Painted Skin is an adaptation of one of the stories that dwell on fox spirits. If you're someone expecting either a supernatural spook fest, or an amalgamation of ghosts and kung fu, you might be disappointed to find out that it's actually a romance through and through, with complicated relationships all around that you can weave a complex web of love and lust amongst the players involved.

Chen Kun plays Wang Sheng, a general whose army recently overrun the camp of a group of barbarians. In their battle, he rescues a beautiful girl from the grasp of the enemy, and brings her home out of pity and suggestive lust, given that she looks like Zhou Xun. OK, so Zhou Xun plays Xiao Wei, who unknowing to everyone else, is a fox spirit (touted always as beautiful beings in their human form) with an appetite for human hearts in order to maintain her beauty and youth.

Thus begins a tussle for General Wang's heart by both Xiao Wei and Vicky Zhao's Pei Rong, who is the dutiful and demure wife of Wang Sheng. Pei Rong is indeed wary and beginning to suspect Xiao Wei's supernatural abilities when a spate of killings surface with her arrival, but with no proof, Xiao Wei starts to sow discord between the man and wife in order to try and become the new Mrs Wang. It's quite an interesting attempt through the characters to tell of the varying degrees and types of love, one of possession in Xiao Wei's ruthless means to reach her objective, and one of sacrificing for the love and well being of the other half, as established through Pei Rong's selfless courage.

But that's not all. Throw in Donnie Yen as an ex-general Pang Yong, who also shares the hots for Pei Rong, and one time rival of Wang Sheng for her affections, a bumbling lowly ghostbuster Xia Bin (Sun Li) who is in possession of a fabled mythical weapon (opportunity to show off some special effects here, and quite a sight to behold too in its temporal usage) and denying her affections for Pang Yong, and Qi Yuwu as a lizard spirit whose infatuation with Xiao Wei ensures that she gets her fair share of food without the need to get her hands dirty. Connected the dots yet?

Fans of Donnie Yen will probably be a tad disappointed by his limited screen appearance, and for the most parts he's either playing the joker, where his jokes will likely be lost in translation, going by the English subtitles that didn't manage to truly capture the essence of his lines, and the remaining screen time having to see him execute some action, but nothing groundbreaking and not seen before. We know what Donnie Yen can do, and perhaps in seeking some form of redemption, the story has a flashback scene where he dons armor yet again (anyone remember the dismal result of An Empress And Her Warriors) and does battle in a scene which Jackie Chan has already stamped his authority on.

One could have expected the Gordon Chan is familiar with shooting decent action sequences, but you don't really get a lot of that in Painted Skin, save for some generic rooftop chase in the night, and a be all and end all finale where no punches got pulled, though it really got marred by all the tight shots that all you'd probably get to see is a blur. The narrative also got a little choppy in the mid section, and you do feel that a huge chunk of detail got summarized to keep it running generously under two hours, with subplots dropped that I suspect involved the growing affection and admiration between Pang Yong and Xia Bin, in order not to distract the audience from the main love triangle of Pang Yong, Xiao Wei and Pei Rong.

All in all, this is recommended for Zhou Xun's face off with Zhao Wei, especially with the former playing the temptress role to perfection. The last where we saw two prominent Chinese actresses square off was between Zhang Ziyi and Gong Li in Memoirs of a Geisha. Otherwise, Painted Skin held a lot of promise, but didn't deliver that level of oomph in its final product, lapsing into mediocrity throughout.

Hubby showed a bit bored while in the cinema, as the movie is purely about romance between human and spirits. There is one scene where the wife sacrifies her life for her husband from the evil of the fox spirit. Whereby the husband is willing to die with the wife, no matter how hard the fox spirit pleads to marry and love him. I somehow made fun of my hubby.

Me : If it is you, I think you would definitely go after the beautiful girl and forget your wife lor!

Hubby : *grinned* That man is really silly. Go ahead with the pretty girl first, why need to consider so much! Acting only la....

Me : >~< grrrr..... I think you want to die!

Hubby : =p

LOL

Nine Gods Festival Celebration

2008-09-28T22:06:00.000+08:00

Time flies, a year passed and here is the Nine Gods Festival celebration again starting today! Remember those days in my teenage life, where I hoped so desperately to walk to the temple behind my house and watched the opera and singing performance there. The festival always fell on my school examination days, and I was forced to stay at home doing revision while my ears were pricking up for the music and songs from the temple.

These are the buns that are sold during the festival. My family enjoy the buns so much, especially my two kids. We call these "tortoise buns ~ because of the shapes" and "longevity peaches ~ believe to lead a long life after eating". Actually I can walk to the temple whenever I want. There are so much varieties of vegetarian food there. Yet, I was now too lazy to join the crowd. I don't like vegetarian food though. I will only step in the temple to pray on one of the days. Thinking changes when one grows older.

This festival lasts for nine days, as each of the God will be accompanied to the temple each night. There will be a great procession this Sunday morning. I want to watch it with the kids. I wonder how we could squeeze in the crowds on the street. Someone has to carry my boy along the way walking on the street. I will die if it is me. I wonder whether I should bring the kids along....hemm...

Driving License Expired!

2008-09-25T18:24:00.002+08:00

I happened to be listening on the reminder of checking our due date of renewing driving license from the radio while driving this morning. I was shocked to find out that my license is expired for almost a month! Yet, I didn't even notice and still driving so daringly on the road. Luckily there was no road block within these days. Thank God I didn't catch up with any accident!

I'm going to renew it tomorrow. Now, I'm a bit chicken to drive. No choice, nobody wants to be the driver of the kids to school tomorrow morning. I better be more careful. Pray that nothing bad is going to happen while on the road ..... *cross fingers* Why am I so forgetful?

About A Friend ......

2008-09-24T18:09:00.000+08:00

Before we started our yoga lesson this morning, there was a small celebration been carried on. Our instructor has bought a jackfruit cake to celebrate one of her student's birthday. The birthday 'woman' is somehow a woman in her sixties. We all call her 'Ah Ling'. Haha....this fella even asked each of us to give her a big kiss as birthday present! =D

She is a very friendly and funny person. She often acts like our monitor in the class. She will remind and help us if we pose wrongly in yoga. She jokes around with us, to make everyone happy and forget about the toughness while doing yoga. Not everyone can be the one breaking the ice in class.

I admire her. I hope that I can be like her too, to be able to lead a happy life forever and to mingle around with everyone so closely. It is indeed a wide knowledge to pick up.

Asian Matching For Bachelors

2008-09-16T11:11:00.004+08:00

I attended a grand wedding with hubby in Syuen Hotel on last Mid Autumn night. We met up a lot of friends who were hubby's schoolmates. Wedding occassions are somehow our ex-schoolmates gathering nowadays. Some of them are still bachelors, and they are desperately looking for a girlfriend. I teased them to go and get to know some Asian Chicks from the internet. And, they really have the intention to do so. Hehe.....well, as a friend, I will try to do some match-making for them if possible. ;p

Working vs Jogging Suit

2008-09-08T13:00:00.000+08:00

How do you feel when you see a man wearing THIS for jogging?? Take a closer look! He is wearing slack, instead of sports pants! I have been advising him on a proper wear to jog, but he insists to have THIS. Why huh?? Maybe, he is just a bit too shy to show his hairy leg. :D

Who can tell who this man is? hehe.....

Have a nice day, and have a good laugh here.

Locate Sexual Predator In Your Area

2008-09-05T11:03:00.002+08:00

There are so many sexual criminal cases happened in the housing areas recently. Besides, the crimes can also be found in the university and office too. The world is so unsafe now. The government security has to do something. As for women citizens, it is better to trace for the Sexual Predator List around your living area. Precautions have to be done. No one can help us if we really face with danger at that very moment. We, ladies have to guard and protect ourselves.

Bangkok Trip Postponed!

2008-09-05T10:49:00.003+08:00

We have to cancel our trip to Bangkok next Monday due to the politic crisis there recently. So fed up la! After waiting for so many months, and the kids are so anxious to go, now have to postponed to one more month! Why don't those Thai people demonstrate after our trip?? Really frustrated!

We have to spend almost a thousand more to change our flight date to 20 Oct. Really wasting money......I can use this to spend on our food and transportation in Bangkok. *sigh* What to do? We are so unlucky.

Mothers Searching For Offsprings

2008-09-05T10:13:00.002+08:00

Everyday, I read news about mothers looking for their long-lost child in newspaper. Those people have been looking for their offsprings since young till they are in old age now. So pity to read about that. Can these unfortunates find the persons they want from People Search ? They should give it a try since they have been waiting for more than 10 years. I learn something here. I must value my loved ones and make sure they are healthy and happy always.

Go Or Not To Go To Bangkok??

2008-09-02T12:02:00.002+08:00

I'm in great dilemma. After all the months I've been waiting, next Monday would be my flight to Bangkok with family and friends. But, the breakout news about Bangkok in the state of emergency has made me worried. My parents are worried that the demonstration would create some unforseen danger of chaos during our visit in the city. And, somemore I'm bringing my kids along.

Can anyone give any advice here? Everyone is so excited about the trip already. How could I tell the kids the truth and spoil their expectation? They have been reminding me again and again about their trip in September since few months ago. :(

Let's see how it goes. Hopefully the Thai citizens would be calmed down very soon.

Sexy Girls' Dance

2008-08-31T15:40:00.002+08:00

Zenzo pub is running a lot of events lately. Hubby and his partners are truly working hard in making it a success. Zenzo is getting famous, and most of the youngsters know about this place nowadays.

Hubby invited me to his pub last Saturday to enjoy the sexy girls' dance show, in conjunction with the 'merdeka' countdown celebration. Well, the girls were pretty with good body shapes. They looked so sexy in their dance. They combined belly dance with modern dance. Those men were like drooling wolves. My friend teased that those men were like they haven't seen girls before! LOL

Enjoy the short video clip below ya....

Wishing all Malaysian,

HAPPY NATIONAL DAY!

Prom Dresses And Evening Gowns

2008-08-22T17:50:00.002+08:00

I always dream to be one of the lovely girls in those childhood fantasy stories, where the beautiful princesses met their handsome princes in the palace parties. I know I was not born from the royal family, but I was hoping to meet my Mr. Right at the prom night during my university days. Unfortunately, there was no celebration like this in local university. Why couldn't I study in oversea country, so that I could experience the fun of being the most happy girl in the most beautiful prom dresses?

I haven't tried on any evening gowns in my life except the day of my wedding dinner. It was not so convenient for a bride to carry a handbag on that night. If not, I would definitely bring my favourite evening bags here.

Doesn't it attractive?

I guess I have not much chances to attend any ballroom dinner now, because I don't have any rich friends who will organise a wedding or any other family function in the hotel. Yes, there is one day in future that I am able to put on a gown. I can still put on the best 'Mother of The Bride Dresses' on my daughter's wedding day next time. :D

"Jacky Cheung" Live In Zenzo !

2008-08-18T18:34:00.012+08:00

I had a great time with hubby and friends last Friday, as I could watch "Jacky Cheung" live in Zenzo! Haha! Yes, for sure, but this is the recond one from China, and not Hong Kong. His name is 'Wah Di ~ 华迪' . He has been participating in various singing contests in China and even in one of the TVB 'Pretend And Act' Competition (歌手模仿大赛) in Hong Kong. Hubby spent almost RM8k to invite this singer to our pub for one hour show.

When he first stepped out to the stage, I kind of laughed it out. He seemed to be very short to me, and I don't think he looks like the real 'Jacky Cheung'. After watching him for a while, I somehow find that he indeed looks slightly similar with the superstar. As his voice, sounds more alike when singing sentimental song. Of course, the standard compared to the real superstar is still not to the standard yet.

Have a look for yourself! What do you think?
Does he look like Jacky Cheung?

Frustrated Fingers!

2008-08-15T11:39:00.002+08:00

What's wrong with the car key? Can anyone see it? Well, well, this is the misdeed of the little frustrating fingers of my dad! :D

My dad complained that this key was out of function, as the door couldn't be opened even he kept pressing a few times. He must have tried pressing and pushing the button with his finger nails. Haha.....And this is what I got in the end! Aiyo, I don't find anything wrong at all with it every time I use. Dad's fingers must be very angry at that time lor......LOL

Lake Property In Tennessee

2008-08-12T12:37:00.002+08:00

Investing in lake property can be considerable if I were to be an millionaire. In the mid of browsing the internet pages, I read about Lake Property Tennessee on sale. The photos of lake view taken are so marvellous and attractive. The beauty of the nature has never made one so peaceful before. It is totally breathtaking. Look! I am just looking at the pictures here.

There are so many things can be done to develop the lake. The lake can be taken as a tourist spot on adventurous lake activities like boatings and fishing as well. I am a bit too far now. I haven't turned to be a millionaire yet! LOL

Pool Supplies For Spa

2008-08-12T12:27:00.002+08:00

One of my friend who is a beautician, hopes to start an additional business on spa. She did ask me for my opinion. As a lady of today's world, I strongly agree with her idea. It is one of the trendy business line nowadays. Most of today's women are vain and very beauty conscious, especially those working women. They need some leisure time for relaxation and eliminating stress.

My friend is now determined to start her new business. I suggest her to look for some quality and low priced Pool Supplies for her salon. I promise that I will help her to search around in the internet as well.

Ehm....I am thinking. If I were to own a bungalow, I would also want a personal spa and swimming pool for my family. *sigh* I know it is just a dream.

The Wake vs The Funeral In Last Weekend

2008-08-12T10:33:00.002+08:00

It was a solemn weekend. My grandaunt passed away last Saturday in her 80s. She was sick with kidney problem and had been lying on the bed since last year. It is the time for her relief. I attended the wake on Saturday night and out for the funeral on Monday morning. Most of the relatives were back for her last respect.

Somehow, there was not much crying and moaning, as my grandaunt died in peace with a loving smile. Yes, we were sad because we lost someone we love. Anyway, my aunts gathered and played mahjung at home. They would like to create a fun environment for my late grandaunt, as she was a 'kaki' in mahjung!

It was very seldom that the relatives gather like this. Maybe once or twice in a year. One of my aunt suggested that we organise a trip to Kuantan among the Law's family (my dad's maternal side), as we can visit some of the cousins there. We even discussed about Shanghai and US trip in days to come. We have relative at different countries. Sounds nice, but need to spend a lot. *sigh* Saying is easy. How far can the plans be succeed? Wait and see how. I would definitely love to join these outings with family and relatives.

Olympic In Beijing, 2008

2008-08-08T21:26:00.005+08:00

I saw the opening just now in Astro Channel 816 at 8pm. I don't know what to say. I just can tell that I am impressed with the advance technology of China. The success of the grand Olympic opening ceremony reflects the power and its stand of China in the world. It stays competative to any other strong western countries, like the United States of America. We are exposed with the opportunity to learn more about the history of China's culture.

I am still waiting for any performance from the Hong Kong singers. That is what I got to know from the newspaper earlier. Well, today will be another new page to the world's historical day. Hope that all sports fans will enjoy each and every Olympic games in a month to come.

The Dark Knight 2008

2008-08-06T20:57:00.001+08:00

Synopsis:

(Spoiler free) Bruce Wayne/Batman (Christian Bale) continues to eliminate crime in Gotham City with the help of Lt. Jim Gordon (Gary Oldman) and District Attorney Harvey Dent (Aaron Eckhart). The Dark Knight wants to finally get rid of organized crime for good and be free of their corruption. Batman soon finds that a new psychopathic mastermind known as the Joker (Heath Ledger) has taken over organized crime. After the fall of Carmine Falcone, the remaining crime bosses try to pick up the pieces. However, the Joker is killing them off one by one. The Joker's plan is to terrify the citizens and throw the city into chaos, and then kill Batman. Batman takes the fight with the Joker personal, which makes him confront his own beliefs. The Joker is the most dangerous criminal that Batman has encountered, and he will need all his strength and vigilance to defeat him.

Well, I don't have much confidence on it at first. I was there in the cinema, trying to get tickets for "The Mummy", but failed. This was not a very impressive movie, yet it lasts for 2 and a half hours. I found that the story was dragged too long. Maybe I didn't expect to watch it for more than two hours. By the way, the joker did pose a horror face to the audience. He was more scary than a real ghost. He acted in a very mean way in torturing and killing human. I guess this movie is not that suitable for young children somehow.

If you would like to read the entire content of the story, you may go to this link. Oh, the Batman is indeed very handsome. ^o^

Page Ranking Sustained!

2008-08-04T09:54:00.000+08:00

Yahoo! I have finally sustained a PR 2 for this blog! Well, it doesn't come with any special, though there are not much paid posts to write in blogspot. At least it shows some good job to me. Frankly speaking, I very seldom update this blog. Maybe it is because of the keywords which give me some backlinks in here. Well, I know it will soon drop to '0' if I start loaded this blog with paid posts. Be it! Just make good use of the short time frame then. Can't expect too much now in this blogsphere, right?

Sexy Hair Perm

2008-07-30T10:30:00.002+08:00

Yup! I permed my hair again. This time, I can assure my friend that I look sexy, and not old amah compared with my previous permed. I chose spa perm with added some triangle perm at one side. Ha...hah....quite hard to imagine ya......Anyway, I'm not going to put my photo up here. A bit too paiseh.....someday, you guys may see it when I publish some group or family photos here. ^.^

Well, quite satisfy this time. I may go for colour highlight soon this month end. I still feel that it's curly. I picked this new spa perm technology as the result is not that curly than the old-fashioned perm. It is more elastic as well. Not many salon brought in such advance Korean technology to Ipoh. I bet. The price is reasonable, just RM160 with extra treatment and styling gel as gift too.

Causes And Management Of Tooth Discolouration

2008-07-26T19:32:00.003+08:00

My friend is very worried of her son's yellowish teeth though he is only 2! No matter how regularly she cleans her son's milk teeth, the stains still persist. I then came across this article about the causes and management of tooth discolouration. I share out the tips here, and hope that it helps to solve her query.

Tooth discolouration is due to external and internal factors.

External Factors

1. Smoking or drinking beverages containing caffeine.

2. Inadequate dental hygiene. The accumulate plaque can adsorb food colouring, resulting in stains. Go to the dentist for scaling and chemical cleaning.

Internal Factors

1. Tetracycline - antibiotic taken during pregnancy or early childhood. The stain can be masked by laminate veneer onto the tooth surface. Bleaching by chemical agents is an alternative to veneer.

2. Dental caries or tooth decay due to poor hygiene and taking too much sweets and fizzy drinks. Dentist will drill around the decay and put in a filling.

3. Pulp necrosis (pulp death) occurs due to trauma to the tooth or untreated caries, and causes the tooth to appear in greyish black. Root canal therapy involves partial or total removal of injured pulp tissue. The pulp chamber and root canals are then cleaned and sealed.

4. Decayed milk tooth may lead to infection in the vicinity of the developing of permanent tooth. This infection will disrupt the formation of the enamel of the permanent tooth, resulting in yellowish-brown patches. May apply topical fluoride or protective cap to the tooth surface to arrest the caries and to remineralise it.

5. Long term and excessive ingestion of fluoride in drinking water and toothpaste is one of the cause.

So, for those who concern, better take the above into consideration. As a mother, we should observe very well over our children's teeth development.

Tips On Soothing Tired Eyes

2008-07-23T18:46:00.000+08:00

Our eyes are the window of soul, and from this phrase we understand how important the eyes to us. Just imagine one day, your world is totally black with no colours in life! Could you ever live with these days?

I am however quite worried of my eyes. I often suffer from headache, or can say migraine which causes both my eyes to be very tired as well. I suspect it may due to the increase power of short-sighted in eyes. It is no doubt as I sit in front of my laptop for hours each day. Yet, I haven't gone for eye checking.

Hence, I would like to share some tips on soothing tired eyes.

1) Invest in a polarized monitor filter to your computer to lessen the stress put upon your eyes by reducing glare;

2) Relax and keep the eyes mobile by standing up and focus on a distant point, swaying gently from side to side. Blinking is one of the way to clean and lubricate the eyes;

3) Try indulging in a professional eye treatment with massage once a month;

4) Apply hot towel and compress it to your closed eyelids before ending with a cold compress. This helps open up the small blood vessels of the eyeballs, and therefore relieve eye-strain;

5) One of the easiest but most effective way is, to get a good night sleep each night.

I shall fully practising the steps. Hopefully I will be freed of migraine problem from now on.

Shop Till I Broke !

2008-07-18T09:41:00.003+08:00

It was the annual Jusco Day Sales yesterday. Discounts was from 20% to 70%! How could I not gone crazy??!! The kids' clothing were so cheap. A nice, pretty blouse was only at less than RM12!! Kids jeans, either short or long pants and also the jean skirts were less than RM50! These could only be found once in a year.

No one can imagine how mad I was yesterday! I guess not even me, other women (especially those 'silai') purchased clothes like they were free!! I dare not tell my hubby that I spent over RM700 mainly on kids' clothes! Of course, I did buy socks, underwears and two shirts for hubby. I obtained discount vouchers with a total value of RM95. Anyway, by subtracting the vouchers' value, I spent only RM600 something. =p *slap head*

People say that it is now the bad economic time. I don't think so. The car parks were full when I arrived at 9am in Jusco. I doubt whether the starting business hour was 9am or 8am! Maybe those people wanted to save more by purchasing cheap stuff. Well, well, I have to store up some of the newly bought clothing for next year's Chinese New Year then.

Visit To Old Folks Home

2008-07-15T17:23:00.002+08:00

This was the old folks home in Jelapang which I visited last Friday. It was a charity trip organised by the yogee group. Our yoga instructor was going with us. Sometimes it is good to have some social life like this. My last visit to the old folks was almost 25 years ago when I was in secondary school.

This is one of the old folks bedrooms. Most of the old folks are men. A total of 48 old folks in this centre. They looked lonely and pity also when they were seating in the hall, waiting for the ang pao. I really don't hope to be one of them one day, being dumped by the kids. =(

My yoga instructor was distributing the ang pao for them. Make them happy a bit even it was not that much in a packet. We had bought so much groceries, ready to contribute to these old folks, but to find out that they prefer to receive their sharing separately. We didn't have the time to distribute the groceries equally, so just gave them money was better.

Our gang then left and headed Chemor for fish head noodle breakfast. Quite fun to mix around like this. They then moved on to another old folks home in Simpang Pulai. Anyway, I didn't manage to join as I had to pick my kids up from school. Maybe, we may have another round of charity activity soon.

Baking Business?

2008-07-09T18:29:00.001+08:00

Lovelymummy and I have been SAHM since May this year. Yes, we enjoy staying at home and taking care of our kids. We appreciate that we are granted such moment. Anyway, we did sit down and chit-chat twice every week while having breakfast after our yoga lessons.

We somehow feel that if we could earn some pocket money while being at home, that would be terrific. At least, we are convinced that we are still capable besides being a nanny. We discussed about what business we should involve in. I came out an idea. Why not we start baking business! My dear friend here agreed and suggested that we shall learn to bake cookies. We discussed our future plans on what to use, where to get the ingredient sources, and recipes on baking cookies. My friend even thought of the places we shall distribute our cookies for sale! Gee...we do have far view! LOL

When I tried to convey my plan to my mum that day, she somehow poured cold water on me. My mum reminded me that people would only buy cookies during Chinese New Year! People would spend more on bread and cakes on normal days. She is right! I didn't take this into consideration at all. So silly.....Maybe I can start baking cakes and buns for business instead. ^.^

Anyway, my friend and I will go home and take deep hesitation whether to take the move. No more 3 minutes job! Really worried I am. :D

Hair Accessories

2008-07-03T21:47:00.002+08:00

I haven't been so particular on my hair before, ever since my hair grew long and was being permed. I wanted something to add sparks on my hair. Besides getting some nice accessories to tie up my hair, I decide to try something trendy.

Yes! I want to follow those young pretty chicks.......to try on stylish hairbands! So, are my two hairbands nice huh?? :-)

Fashionable Yoga Pants

2008-06-28T18:08:00.000+08:00

I was desperately searching for yoga pants due to the wear-out of the old shorts. I thought of investing on those fashionable yoga pants which I found in the athletic shops. The outfits look very beautiful with the best comfort of material.

Below are some of the stylish flexible fits found in Victoria's Secret. Of course, these are a few among my favourites.

Ruffle-trim foldover yoga pant

Classic Yoga Pant

Side-stripe yoga pant

Crop foldover yoga pant & Ultimate tank

Crop foldover yoga pant

Yoga hot short

At first, I really has the urge to purchase one or two pieces of these hot yoga pants. After thinking twice, I gave up my intention. I am not willing to spend more than RM50 for just a pant only with the purpose of exercise. I would rather spend on blouses and dresses. Besides, I am a bit too short for these lovely yoga pants! =(

Guess what!!!!! ...................................

I bought these short pants from Parkson, for just only RM19.90 per piece! I can get three instead of one with the same amount spent! Who can spend wisely than me here! Haha......LOL

Ear Drum Inflammation

2008-06-20T16:08:00.002+08:00

Don't know ever since when I am an allergic patient. I often down with running nose and sore throat these few years. I am in such a sick condition for more than two months. Getting well few days, sick again the following days. *sigh*

I have taken a lot of herbs and pills from the clinic too. Anyway, nothing works for me. I have no choice, but to visit another clinic doctor who has cured my mum earlier.

He checked me, and told me that there is inflammation in my eardrum. Of course, the throat is a bit swollen and reddened. Due to the inflammation, the Eustachian tube (refer the picture above) is a bit blocked. This is the tube in connection with the eardrum to the nose, if I'm not mistaken. That's the reason I have nose blocked, and may have a lot of phlegm. In the Chinese physician's view, it is always said to be heaty, caused by excessive intake of fried and grilled food. Anyway, in the western's view, the doctor claimed my condition to be a kind of allergy illness. Not any of the viral infection or sinus problem.

This is a life-long illness which can only be prevented, but not fully cured. Mostly it is dued to dust, extreme weather changes and routine habit. No wonder I often get nose blocked during my sleep and sometimes when having meals all the while. It makes me hard to breathe. Doctor advised me to buy a nose pump after I recover, and to continue the pump for 6 months. I just hope I can get out of this. I cough a lot today, and it really hurts. :(

My Birthday Celebration

2008-06-19T21:10:00.006+08:00

Well, want to know how I celebrated my Big Day?

I thought that I would just have a common steamboat dinner with family and friends that night. To my surprise, we had second round after the dinner. We went to hubby's pub, Zenzo for cake cutting ceremony. Since we were so unwilling to dump our kids at home just like that, the children were joining us too. First time ever, we let our little ones to expose in a smoky and unhealthy environment.

My kids hopped around like wild monkeys as that was a totally new environment to them. They were interested in snookers too. But, they were too short! Must ask hubby to invest a baby snooker table set for our kids then.... LOL

Chocolate Banana from Secret Recipe by dear hubby!

My boy couldn't wait to cut the cake already. My girl looked so tired as it was already 10pm. Well, it was just a simple celebration, but everyone was happy that night. Of course, that was the best birthday gift I had. Happiness is the most precious in life! Agree?

My Birthday!

2008-06-17T11:16:00.003+08:00

Today is my big day! Anyone wants to wish me "Happy Birthday!" ? =)

Well, no surprises yet from hubby. We are just planning to have steamboat and movie tonight. Not much special. What to do? Old already and Ipoh is such a small town. Not many interesting places to hang out.

Just wish myself, happy and healthy!

Will have some follow up story after today.....

Lost But Found!

2008-06-16T10:47:00.000+08:00

It was my wedding ring again! I lost it on last Friday! I should report this in my blog and rant like no one in the first place, but I didn't as I was busy. How did it happen? It was all because of the creamy egg yolk pao which I ate at home. The cream stained on my fingers and ring. I was careless too! I was trying to wash the ring under the running tap. shoop! Withing a second, I could just hear the tingling sound between the basin and my ring, watching it flowing down together with the water!! It was deep inside, the drain underneath! My God! Gone! Forever!

My parents advised me to pour pails of water into the hole with the same drain attached in bathroom, while my dad kept watching outside the house at the back, hoping that the ring would be flushed out. Quite impossible then!

I looked for the help of our neighbour who works in piping and construction field.

He tried to flush in the water through the hole here, while using a long brush to spin out the rubbish. The ring might be stucked in between of the rubbish. It was quite an awful and dirty job. I missed the photo again.

The hard work was done for more than an hour till night fell, but still the ring didn't show up. I was about to give up. My neighbour gave ir a last chance, and to our surprise, it managed to roll out before we packed! This had been about the fifth time it went missing. The previous cases were due to my boy's itchy hand.

I felt bad. I should be happy to retrieve my babe, but it was already scratched! There may have thousands of germs sticking on it which I couldn't see. Blek!! I wish someone would buy a new ring for me. Bigger one, please.....sounds greedy huh! :P

Anyway, I'll still wear my ring as it is very meaningful to me. I have learnt my lesson. Make sure the hole in basin is blocked before washing any small parts.

Free Access To Astro On Demand

2008-06-13T11:30:00.003+08:00

I haven't enjoyed series like this for a long time already. Thanks for Astro for giving a special privilege to us on free access to Astro On Demand dramas for a month!

AOD is showing Forensic Heroes II in this season. It is just the right timing! My mum and I have been fans for its Part I. We like its story line. We are very amazed with the interesting advance technique used in the government forensic division while investigating each crime. These outstanding group of chemists have proved to us that, "Evidence speaks the Truth!". The story is very exciting indeed. I am tailing the series like a dog these days till my eyes are blurred. Wow, I am fully occupied now! My mum blames me for seducing her into this situation.... :-D ........... Even my little Zi Wei is following us in this! Cham!

Well, well, the offer is until end of this month. I better arrange my schedule properly to ensure that I finish the 30 episodes series within this month. Yay!!

Guess Bags Collection

2008-06-10T10:32:00.005+08:00

Although Guess bags can't compete well on their price with Louis Vuitton, Coach, .... etc. ~ that's all I know, as I'm not too fond of branded stuff, I think that they are beautiful. For people with average standard of life like me, Guess bags are considered very branded accessories to me. I would definitely not spend my money for cluthes or totes at more than a thousand ringgit! My heart will be aching if they are dirtied with stains. I can't take it. Anyway, if I were to receive it as a gift, that would be a different story. :-p

Ocean Drive Satchel

Dorothy E/W

Ibiza Metal Shopper

Soho Medium Satchel

Cheetah Mini Half Flap

Aren't they attractive and lovely?

I prefer my accessories to be in sharp colours. I seldom choose white as it's obviously seen when dirtied, even it looks nice. I have owned my first Guess bag in my life, and I precious it like my baby. Whenever I walk pass Guess store in Jusco, I just can't stop my eyes on those new trendy collections. Well, I remind myself that I can't follow the trend tightly like others. New items are always out almost every month. I must not waste money. I should save more for the petrol then.... hehe....or else I'll be locked at home. Then it will be worst!

The Chronicles of Narnia: Prince Caspian

2008-06-04T19:59:00.003+08:00

I nagged and nagged to hubby for few times, asking him to watch this great movie with me. I have been waiting anxiously for the second episode of Narnia since its first shot in year 2005. I love this kind of novelistic story with magical fantasy. I shall never miss it in the cinema.

Synopsis:-

One year later, the Kings and Queens of Narnia find themselves back in that faraway wondrous realm, only to discover that more than 1,300 years have passed in Narnian time. During their absence, the Golden Age of Narnia has become extinct and Narnia has been conquered by the Telmarines and is now under the control of the evil King Miraz, who rules the land without mercy. The four children will soon meet a curious new character: Narnia's rightful heir to the throne, the young Prince Caspian, who has been forced into hiding, as his uncle Miraz plots to kill him in order to place his own newborn son on the throne. With the help of the kindly dwarf, a courageous talking mouse named Reepicheep, a badger named Trufflehunter and a Black Dwarf, Nikabrik, the Narnians--led by the mighty knights Peter and Caspian--embark on a remarkable journey to find Aslan, rescue Narnia from Miraz's tyrannical hold, and restore magic and glory to the land.

My wish was fulfilled and I enjoyed a lot on this movie last night. I shall give full rating on this movie, but hubby feels that the previous episode was better. I just have a doubt on the story. Why didn't 'Aslan', the great lion took so long to show up himself when the narnians were in need of him during the war? What did he mean, "Things will never come twice." when being asked by the little queen? Anyone can share with me the answers?

Narrow Escape From Car Accident

2008-05-29T17:44:00.004+08:00

Gosh! I had a narrow escape this morning. I was still shivering when reaching home after the incident.

My car was nearly crashed in the junction near my house! My father has always reminded me about the danger when crossing the junction. It happened after I sent my son to school, and was on the way back. I was quite caution too when crossing that road. I then saw the big pajero moving fast from my left. I was heading straight, and I thought he would slow down his car but he didn't. Actually he should stop as there was a stop logo in front of him. My leg was numbed too. I didn't have the intention to stop in the middle of the road as well. My mind was a bit confused at that situation.

While I continued driving, that pajero seemed to be accelerating and coming towards my side. I gave him a loud horn and stepped hard on the accelerator. Luckily, that driver stopped just in time, within one of two centimetres away from my car. Phew! If I were to stop my car there in the middle of the junction, I guess I might be in the hospital now already. Or maybe worse.... choi ! Thank God, my son was not in the car, and there was no one walking on the road at that time. My heart is still pumping fast when recalling the incident.

Iron Man Review

2008-05-28T18:14:00.002+08:00

"Iron Man" movie is good, anyway, why does the producer choose Robert Downey Jr. as the hero in this movie? To me, he is not handsome and not young either. Well, I am not so updated and familiar with the famous actors and actresses in Hollywood. I may be wrong by judging only the appearance.

All in all, the movie was exciting, as I held my little girl's hand so tightly and shrunk myself close to her. Very absurd ya! I might have mistaken her as hubby. LOL

Sypnosis:

Robert Downey Jr. stars as Tony Stark, a billionaire playboy and genius who puts as much effort into chasing skirts as he puts into chasing his next big idea. A trip to Afghanistan to sell weapons quickly devolves into chaos, and Stark finds himself at the mercy of a warlord who wants him to build a missile. Instead, Stark creates a powerful suit of armor, turning him into Iron Man and allowing him to escape. When he returns to America, his assistant Pepper Pots (Gwyneth Paltrow), friend Rhodey (Terrence Howard), and right-hand man Obadiah Stane (Jeff Bridges) all marvel at the change in the man they knew. He announces his company will cease making weapons and he begins work on an updated armored suit only to find that Obadiah Stane, his second in command at Stark industries has been selling Stark weapons to the insurgents. He uses his new suit to return to Afghanistan to destroy the arms and then to stop Stane from misusing his research.

I somehow feel that this movie is like the imaginary film, very comic contented. A billionair businessman turns himself into a superhero and fight for the world in his supernatural iron suit which could fly high almost to the space! Wow! Ha! Well, treat it as an entertainment will do.

Going After 'Iron Man' Tomorrow

2008-05-26T22:29:00.002+08:00

I have been waiting since the first day when 'Iron Man' started showing in the cinema. I thought hubby would have time to watch the movie with me. My brother told me that it is a nice movie.

It has been showing for two weeks. More and more grand movies are on the way. The cinema is going to end showing 'Iron Man'. Hubby is very busy lately. I can't wait anymore. I'm going to watch it with my girl tomorrow. There left only 11am and 3:50pm shows. Hubby is more relief to hear that. Anyway, he promised to go for 'Narnia' with me. Hope that he will keep his promise.

Bangkok Trip

2008-05-23T21:23:00.004+08:00

I was shocked to receive a call from hubby. He told me that he has just swiped a big amount with the credit card. He then told me about a good news. Yipee! He has just bought air asia tickets to Bangkok for both of us. Yes, Lovelymummy and I are going with our hubbies this September to visit Shoppingmum. I am so excited. I hope she can bring us to Platinum Shopping Mall. The place she claims that I would "ki siao" ~ go crazy!!

I'm thinking of bringing my two kids along. We can bring the kids to the Zoo Safari and Marine Park. Sure they will have a lot of fun there. I have discussed with hubby and he agrees to buy another two tickets tomorrow. The kids would be thrilled for their coming trip. Ooops, that time is not school holiday! No choice, the kids have to skip class for one week then. Luckily they are still in kindy.

Are You Touched?

2008-05-20T11:30:00.000+08:00

I am always updating myself on the China earthquake news progress since the disaster day. I just can't stop my tears from falling whenever I read the newspapers and watch the news update on television. My eyes would turn red even when talking about it with others.

I really salute those teachers and parents who show their great love towards the students and children. The ways they sacrificed their bodies to protect the kids were tremendous. Like the male teacher who saved 4 preschoolers under his arms, and the loving mother who kept breastfeeding her 4 months old baby even she was dead. Very heart touching! *sob, sob* ..... like that I also want to cry already....

Hope this would move everyone in the world to give the victims a helping hand, or just a prayer for those unfortunates in China, SiChuan.

I don't know how I can help the best. I just know that I can donate some money for them. Actually, the best and needed help is to fly there and save the rest who are still buried under the rubble. That should be the professional's responsibilities. Since it is already more than 7 days, the chances for survivors may seem to be very few. Money aid is now essential for the victims to rebuild their hometown and more medical assistance to save those injured ones.

Human Must Learn To Save The Earth

2008-05-15T17:03:00.003+08:00

The earth is really getting angry this time. There have been two massive disasters continuing attacking people within this month. We all grieve for the victims of cyclone attack in Myanmar, and recently terrified earthquake in Chengdu, China. Many lives had been taken by these disasterous attacks. The cities were demolished and the citizens were left homeless. I really hope there will be no more disaster coming..... sometimes, I wonder whether Malaysia will be facing any outbreaks in future. The weather nowadays is really unpredictable. When it is not raining, it is damn hot and dry. Sometimes I can't even breath when outside the house. Everyone is sick nowadays, and it lasts for a long long time to recover.

Well, I hope all the people could give a helping hand for the victims in Myanmar and Chengdu. I have donated some money through the Shepherd Sisters in my girl's school. The most important thing is, human on earth must learnt a lesson from the above cases. We must emphasis more on recycling. It is advisable to plant more flowers or trees in the garden, use recycle material, use less air-conds, stop burning in open air, .... etc. Human must be united to save the earth.

Due to the extreme hot weather nowadays, rice is hardly grown in the paddy. From the recent newspaper report, our government has advised the people to eat only half a bowl of rice each day due to insufficient rice around the world. If not full, we can always take bread or noodle as supplements. I think women may practise this well, but not for men. At least everyone tries their very best in saving the world.

Ear Infection

2008-05-14T17:55:00.002+08:00

I felt so weak lately. I was down with heavy flu these few days. This causes me headaches which don't seem to be cured. I couldn't sleep at night due to the heavy nose block. When I woke up this morning, worse still, my inner right ear was painful.

I was worried. I feel pain in the ear even when I burp. I have no choice but to skip my yoga lesson and headed straight to the clinic. Yes, I have ear infection due to the swelling throat. I was prescribed with antibiotics again. This is the second time since last week. I am always infected with sore throat. =(

Hope that it cures this time. I really don't want to go for the ear specialist as he may insert a tube right into my nose to check my inner ear. That was what I heard from a friend who has gone through this before. No....please.....don't let me suffer like this!

What I REALLY Want To Do On Mother’s Day

2008-05-10T18:42:00.009+08:00

This is a further tag from Mum & Kids In Wonderland by Elaine who has shared her fantasy celebration with her mum on this coming Mother’s Day. Anyway, I hope that her dream would really come true and she can spend a valuable day just with her mum alone.

Well as usual like every year, I will have a dinner with my mum and also my mum-in-law. But this time, I bought both of them a present!

For My Mum

For My Mum-in-law

Both of like the gifts very much. Actually deep in my heart, I have a dream for my dear mum.

If only I were financially capable, I really hope to go shopping with my mum to Hong Kong on this special day. Or, we can go to Australia to visit my aunt. I just want to pull her out of the house and give her a freshy breath while looking around the world. She has not flewn oversea ever since her honeymoon to Taiwan. She is always too worried of us, her home and now her grandchildren. She always think that travelling is wasteful. I want to change her thoughts. I hope to enjoy each and every fun places and the lovely food in Hong Kong with my dearest mum. She has devoted her life in the family since she was married.

So, can you share your plan or dream which you want to do on Mother’s Day?

HAPPY MOTHER'S DAY !!!

Hair Wax On Calves

2008-05-08T22:57:00.006+08:00

before after

My friend was shocked to know that I'm going to upload such awful photos on the blog. Yes, I'm crazy. I admit. To me, they are just calves. Nothing wrong....not pornograhic at all!! Choi!!

Just want to show off my fair calf. See, after waxing it does look very clean and fair. Even the dead skin was pulled out together with the ugly curly hair! I can feel that they are now smooth as I applied moisturiser each time after bath. The beautician advised me to keep this way as a habit, so that the skin won't dry out and it does help in delaying the growth of hair.

That was my first time doing cold waxing. It wasn't very painful if compared with hot waxing, maybe also I don't have thick hair. Don't ever try hot waxing! You may scream your lung out. By waxing a few time, eventually the hair would stop growing coarsely as roots are eliminated once the hair is pulled up.

Common Prevention Of Viral Infection

2008-05-05T20:43:00.001+08:00

My mum has not eliminated her cough till today. She claims to have sore throat and she is taking antibiotics again. Doctor advised her to go for x-ray if her cough still persists after finishing this course. As for me, coughing seems to be lesser, but I have a mild sore throat again. =(

Sometimes I feel like the world is going to end very soon, with the viral infections in mostly everyone which lasts for months in our country and the intestinal virus outbreak (EV-71 which causes hand, foot and mouth disease) has killed 24 children in China recently. It lays me pessimistic on our future.

The primary objective in the treatment if flu and cold is to improve our quality of life. Flu may lead to secondary bacterial infection, and old people and children are especially susceptible individuals. Both these groups have weaker immune systems and the flu may lead fatal in young children, the elderly and those with underlying chronic illness.

Common Prevention Of Flu And Cold

1) Eat Right and Sleep Tight - This helps to enhance body immune system. Adults should settle with 7 -8 hours of sleep each night, while older children and teenagers need 9 - 10 hours sleep every night. A balanced diet emphasises fruits and vegetables, whole grains and small amounts of lean protein.

2) Regular Exercises - Regular cardiovascular exercise such as walking, biking, aerobics boosts our immune system. There will be less symptoms and recover faster than those who aren't fit.

3) Limit Air Travel - Researchers say that the decreased numbers of air travel passengers during the fall of 2001 actually slowed the spread of the flu as well as delayed the start of the flu season by several weeks.

4) Avoid Crowd During Flu Season

Officially A SAHM

2008-05-04T23:39:00.000+08:00

I am officially a SAHM after today. I have ended my learning centre effective from 1 May, 2008! Today, I am in the centre again, but clearing all the mess in office. I couldn't find someone to take over my business, and I couldn't sell off my assets. Sound very wasteful ya! I feel the same, but I can't continue it anymore.

Hubby took most of the furniture in my centre. He may need them for his new business. Hubby is not going to pay me, although I do hope so..... :p
He is going to bear all the uninstallation and moving charges.

Well, I will take this opportunity to enjoy my stay-at-home life. I try to rest more till I am fully recover from my cough, recharge body energy, .....plan out my life then. I am not sure whether I can survive from this non-working life. Maybe I may take up some part-time job in later days...who knows!

Night Clubbing At ZENZO

2008-04-30T14:21:00.001+08:00

It happened last week. I couldn't sleep throughout Tuesday night. My tummy was bloated, most probably due to the oily food taken in the afternoon. I even caught slight fever when woke up the next morning. I felt like vomitting till I couldn't walk and send my kids to school.

I was determined to nap for the whole afternoon, as I must recharged my energy for the event that night. It was my hubby's pub opening night. I insisted to drag my weak body for the night clubbing as my friends are going too.

ZENZO Bar & Bistro among the Greentown Business Centre area.

Hubby recommended new drinks to me. He said that it suits ladies' taste. Of course, the drinks contain low percentage of alcohol. I just took a few sip as my stomach was still not so well. Not sure which flavour I took, but I don't like the taste. It tasted like cough mixture to me. Maybe, I still recalled the taste of medicine I took earlier the day!

There was something embarrasing happened on that night!

Can anyone notice something funny here? For sure, everyone can! Seem like Lovelymummy and I have the same instinct. No wonder we are good friends for so long..... LOL

Shoppingmum is right. We should consider picking up knitting interest. Anyway, it is a bit too costly for me at this moment. Maybe in future, own knit wear could be the unique apparel for myself!

We didn't dance that night. Maybe we didn't drink much till we steam and made our bodies move. We just enjoyed the live band and chit chat with friends. I couldn't stay longer as I needed to rest early. I went home at around 11:30pm, but my man still had to stay and work. Well, business was not bad that night. Well done and keep it up, hubby!

Back To Freshy! Welcome ME!

2008-04-29T12:37:00.003+08:00

I think those who know me as "Mummy In Vain" can guess what happen here! Proceeding the corruption of all my ancestor blogs in blogspot, I'm back again, as a total freshy to the blogsphere. Let's welcome ME, and my new blog with new url, http://mummyinvainslifejournal.blogspot.com/ ! Hope that my readers and friends would still follow my posts and link me in their blogs.

I have no choice but to abandon all my previous blogspots. I have then wasted all my effort throughout the years. What to do? I have to start everything new again! Like climbing stairs from the first step again! Sad and frustrated!! :(

I shall copy some of my previous posts from the old one. Pray and hope that everything would soon be fine then.....Really wasting time to start everything all over again.
