    Starting a franchise business

    Sunday, August 17th, 2008

    In blogging. You heard right. What do you think? If I started a business manual, let’s say in blogging, and then design a methodology behind the whole process and franchise it? I think it’s a superb idea!!! So many mothers want to make money online or maintain their sanity through blogging but don’t know how […]

    Getting serious about blogging

    Sunday, August 17th, 2008

    Since my new revelation and since I am committing myself to working harder, I have to organise my time fruitfully. And I need to organise my home office. Currently my work desk is also my dressing table No kidding. And sometimes my bed is my work space, sometimes the couch, sometimes the toilet. No, […]

    Web hosting renewals

    Friday, August 15th, 2008

    Recently, I had to renew my website hosts subscription and had to make the decision whether or not to stick to the same web hosting company or to try out a new one. After all, you should always shop around when you are about to spend money, right?
    Let me share a secret with you. If […]

    Advertising Agencies in Malaysia

    Wednesday, August 13th, 2008

    When I was working as a designer, I met practically every advertising agency there was in town in pitching work to them. It is interesting when you compare advertisement designers to space designers. At the end of the day, we’re all designers - narcissistic, perfectionist, work damn hard and don’t sleep. But with advertisement designers, […]

    Dermatological help for pimple face

    Monday, August 11th, 2008

    I know some people with very bad scarring on their faces due to them squeezing their zits as teenagers. Thank goodness my grandmother always warned me not to squeeze my zits as a teen thus I don’t have too many scars. Some people have scars all over their face and I’m not sure why they […]

    Watching movies on my phone

    Monday, August 11th, 2008

    Ever since I got my new phone, I’ve discovered that it really it is God sent and is the most convenient tool ever invented. I love, love, love it!!! It is super convenient for moms on the go and I highly recommend every tech savvy Mom to get one. When I was in Perth, I […]

    New Plasma TV

    Monday, August 11th, 2008

    Ever since the Feng Shui man visited my home, we’ve rearranged our bed so that it faces a wall with a built-in book shelf cum dresser against it. Our old TV died on us a month ago and since then we’ve been contemplating getting a new TV for the bedroom. But this time, we’ve got […]

    New weight suppresant pill

    Monday, August 11th, 2008

    I just read about Fenphedra and it sounds exactly like the drug I took several months ago on the prescription of my Doctor friend. What it does is it suppresses your appetite by tricking your brain into thinking you are absolutely full so you won’t go near food and actually have to consciously eat to keep […]

    Packing for trip

    Tuesday, July 29th, 2008

    That’s what I’m supposed to be doing but instead I am here at home on the computer I miss it……..being on my computer with absolute silence. I think this time, we’ll only bring one suitcase down and travel light as we are staying with relatives and there will be a washing machine to wash […]

    Cross Cultural Marriages

    Tuesday, July 29th, 2008

    The bride and groom who were married last weekend were Malaysian and Dutch. They were fortunate to have appointed a photographer and videographer who seemed very talented but what is now needed is that the wedding that has been videographed here will now have to be translated into Dutch for the Dutch counterparts. They would […]

    Valuation of my wedding gold

    Thursday, July 24th, 2008

    Last 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, 2008

    Being 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, 2008

    On 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, 2008

    Once 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, 2008

    When 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, 2008

    We 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, 2008

    I 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, 2008

    Once 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 […]
