And everything else
« Previous EntriesValuation of my wedding gold
Thursday, July 24th, 2008Last month, I went to reset my diamond ring so that I could actually wear it again since my finger has doubled in size since I got engaged. At the same time, I brought some gold to be valued with the wholesale jeweller (they sell to most of the jewellers in town) because these were […]
Progressing my life
Thursday, July 24th, 2008Being a parent is hard. Being a stay at home parent is harder. In a typical day, I have to be my daughter’s chauffeur and sit around waiting for her to be driven to her next destination. If I’m lucky, there is enough time to slip in some errands during that time. Then I have […]
Our first taxi ride in New York City
Tuesday, July 22nd, 2008On 5th June 2008, we entered New York City JFK airport, a massive 8 terminal airport with very little facilities, for the second time. The first time, we were just transitting to Orlando. After finding a roundabout way to get to a taxi stand, we had to queue quite a distance for it and that […]
T-Shirt Business
Monday, July 21st, 2008Once upon a time, I thought of having a T-shirt business where I’d come up with funny t shirts because it not only is a funny thing to wear, it becomes a conversation starter and it makes a statement on who you are. My brother had also looked into the business and in the end, […]
Having a holiday home
Monday, July 21st, 2008When we were in New York, the Hub’s friend had a holiday home in Long Islang where they’d drive to every single weekend with the 2 kids for some country time out of New York City. We were so lucky that we got to share their experience (photos later!). One day, hopefully, we’d be able […]
Making more space at home
Monday, July 14th, 2008We need space…..lots of it. We have this teak outdoor patio furniture set made of good quality teak that we need to dispose off. The set consists of two foldable deck chairs that can be reclined and a matching coffee table. We bought the set for RM800 and it is in very good condition. Actually, […]
My history with diet pills
Monday, July 14th, 2008I have ever only taken diet pills twice in my life - once was Reductil and the other was Xenical. I had unpleasant experiences with both, one kept me awake and the other was messy. Today, my Korean friend said that drinking persimmon or pomegranate vinegar was not only good for health but helps you […]
Transferring your credit card balance
Monday, July 14th, 2008Once upon a time not too long ago (even though it seems like ages ago), we were short with cash and had to depend on our credit cards because I had stopped work to conceive. We also had two properties to maintain so the Hubs had to work hard at moving around the balance transfer […]
On cardio machines
Monday, July 7th, 2008You know, I have always wondered if the treadmill or the stepper or one of those elliptical machines work best for my body and still haven’t come to a conclusion. I personally feel that the elliptical machine is quite easy because your arms and legs kind of help each other and your weight keeps the machine […]
Have you ever been on a cruise?
Sunday, July 6th, 2008When the Hubs and I got married, we wanted to have our honeymoon on some Mediterranean cruises but after finding out how much it cost, we dumped the idea after much consideration. For a one week trip, it would have cost us something like RM15,000 and that didn’t include what money we’d need for all the […]
Memory loss
Sunday, July 6th, 2008From the moment I got pregnant, my brain memory cells have deteriorated at an amazingly rapid pace. Now, I can’t even remember if I showered today. Or brushed my teeth. Am I wearing any panties? This is getting ridiculous. I wish I could have a memory chip just like a computer where files are stored […]
Learning whilst doing paid posts
Sunday, July 6th, 2008Have you any idea what Hoodia is? I’ve discovered that I’m actually learning quite a lot doing blog work as I’m introduced to new things every week. hoodia is a type of herb that looks like a cactus and is used for losing weight. It’s properties help as an appetite suppressant thus promotes weight loss. The […]
Designing the outdoor lighting for my dream home
Sunday, July 6th, 2008We are still in the process of dreaming of our dream home (isn’t everyone?) so whilst we’re at it, I’ve been dreaming of what I want my dream home to look like at night from the road. Then what would it look like from other people’s homes? Thus playing around with outdoor lighting is a […]
Cleaning yourselves safely
Sunday, July 6th, 2008Today, I went to the Holistic Esthethika spa in Bangsar and paid RM188 for a Sothys lemon and coconut facial, a sea salt body scrub and a sensual aromatherapy massage. It was bliss. And reasonably priced, I thought. I had to use a walk in tub and it just reminded me how much I love […]
Women and beauty
Friday, July 4th, 2008Today, a friend asked if I would go under the knife for beauty.
No way.
During my Mom’s time, the ROC beauty school was THE school for a girl to do a beauty course but who knows what cosmetology schools are available these days? And I wonder what they teach now? Those days it was about how […]
