    A great way to celebrate your birthday!!!

    Sunday, November 23rd, 2008

    This is a true story.
    When Tee’s Godpa in New York turned 40, he hired a Charter Bus Rental NYC for a whole 12 hours and invited all his friends in New York and from out of town to party ALL DAY and ALL NIGHT LONG on a sightseeing bus!!! There was more booze than you […]

    Daniel Craig in Quantum of Solace 007

    Monday, November 17th, 2008

    I love Hollywood flicks as much as I love the deeper British productions because I love analysing creativity. Taking apart entire finished products and criticising them is what I was taught to do at University.
    Quantum of Solace
    The music at the beginning was already weak and that put me off - not catchy, not zany, not […]

    If you’re ever thinking of paying a visit to Missouri, be sure to check out vacation packages from Branson as they have some great customised deals for specific targetted visitors whether you are a honeymooning couple or a family of four or a group of friends. You can also decide what you […]

    City of bright lights

    Tuesday, October 14th, 2008

    When I was a student, I visited Blackpool for a few days, what was then considered the las vegas nv of UK. But as time passed, and after speaking to so many people about their holidays in Las Vegas, I am now sure the Blackpool is only a very, very small version of Las Vegas. […]

    Selecting accommodation when visiting Disney World and Universal Studios

    Friday, August 22nd, 2008

    How did we choose where to stay when we went? For us it was simple. We were going to get a discount from a family member, so it was either Hotel A or Hotel B, so we chose the better of the two. But otherwise, how would you choose where to stay when in Orlando?
    Talk […]

    Great vacations are always the ones with the most humour!

    Friday, August 22nd, 2008

    In our last trip to the USA not too long ago, we were at a lost with what to do in New York since Tee’s Godfather was so busy that part of our trip, he was actually abroad in Dubai! We were left to be independent tourists and had to find our way about. And […]

    Accommodation in New York City

    Thursday, August 21st, 2008

    In New York, we were lucky enough to stay at Tee’s Godfather’s apartment. He didn’t charge us. He wanted to but we told him that if he charged us, then we’d charge him back for seeing Tee.
    Tee’s Godfather was the Hubs best man at our wedding. He is a very smart man. As our wedding […]

    Book your Jersey Boys tickets early, folks!

    Thursday, October 18th, 2007

    Have you heard of the Jersey Boys? They’re a famous rock and roll band in the 1960’s, way before we were born……but some of our modern day songs are taken from theirs, people. Walk like a man, Big girls don’t cry……
    Anyway, the Jersey Boys today is a popular musical touring the USA starting November so get […]

    I have never been able to understand American Football!

    Monday, October 15th, 2007

    Do you? It’s probably because I didn’t study in America that I’ve never taken an interest. So I asked the Hubs about the Dallas Cowboys today whilst driving home. In fact, I asked him if the Dallas Cowboys were an American Football team, suspecting that it was. See how blur?
    He immediately told me that they’d just […]

    What do you think of Magicians like the Mad Hatter?

    Sunday, October 14th, 2007

     
    For her birthday this year, Tee wanted a magician to perform at her party. She seems to have an interest in magic, I think from the many times her Daddy has lied to her. Like when he bullshits her about Barney driving the red Ferrari on Formula One or when he commands her to count […]

    Easy access for ’stuff’

    Saturday, October 6th, 2007

    A great invention by the Americans, the vending machine has made lives more convenient by providing easy access to products whilst you’re on the go. Unfortunately, we don’t see so many of them around in Malaysia. At most, we have some drink and candy machines.
    Abroad, there are vending machines for condoms, newspapers, sanitary pads, crisps, candy, […]

    If you had five kids……

    Saturday, October 6th, 2007

    …..you definitely want to look into Maytag Refrigerators. It is a heavy duty, durable fridge that will withstand frequent open and close fridge door fun, keep the family food fresh since you’re going to have lots of it and lots of time saving gadgets. Like, who has time to make ice when you have FIVE […]

    How many credit cards do you have?

    Friday, October 5th, 2007

    I have three but I only use one. One for gaining access into the lounges at airports, one for emergencies and one for our day-to-day use. Which should also really be classified as ‘for most dire circumstances when cash becomes invisible in wallet’. I’m not much of a credit card person because I personally prefer […]

    I spent so much time doing baby research when I was pregnant

    Friday, October 5th, 2007

    If only this online baby store existed then, and better still if the same quality store existed in Malaysia now. Customised for the local market. I think we still need it. Quick, quick…..does anyone want a business opportunity? It’s definitely something to look at.
    It has everything all new moms want to know. From more than a […]

    Obesity and weight loss

    Friday, October 5th, 2007

    Ever since I met the Hubs, my weight has been climbing a steep ladder, step by step, over the last ten years. It is discouraging to say the least but thankfully, I don’t feel the need to have the houston lapband just yet. I pray I never will.
    However, for many people out there who have […]

    October 31st is a Wednesday - Halloween party anyone?

    Wednesday, October 3rd, 2007

    We know of a few Halloween parties around but I’m not sure if Tee is old enough to appreciate a Halloween party yet. It may freak her eyeballs out. I’m sure she’d love the candy part just as much as she’d love tricking unsuspecting humans. But another party means Mommy has to work again in […]
