I’m sure you all know that i love to decorate my house .. and am trying to make it look presentable.. that way I can entertain friends and family. Summer is the best time.. i think to do BBQs.. and I really want a family gathering. We were quite undecided whether to stick to blinds
or curtains for our windows.. because the curtains sold here didn’t have the right sizes we want. To specially order them would cost us a small fortune. In the end we decided to only dress one room at the time. What about you ..?? you have blinds or curtains..??

Yes.. this is the famous Yarmouth Fog. Even during the summer.. we get alot of fog .. making visibility really bad. Quite used to it by now.. but still donch like it at all. We have many days like this here.. and very lil’ days.. where we can go out in the backyard.. and enjoy the golf course.

This is right in front of our house.. at about 6pm yesterday. And you think summer was just round the corner. Living in Y-Town.. doesn’t surprised us.. when the weather turns this way.

Going for a vacation or a work trip to another province is what my daughter’s Godma do all the time. She works for a big food company in Canada. By using Car Hire, she gets to compare the best price where she can hire a car at reasonable rate. But you don’t have to be in Canada to use this search engine.. because they have information on car hire all over the world. Need to hire a car..?? make sure you check car hire out first.

Whenever I am home alone with Chloe and start cooking for her dinner.. she would asked to help me cut the corns. Most of her meals has got corn in it.. because she loves it. Of course i would say “no” in which her reply was . .that Keegan would let her cut the corn up. I didn’t think too, too much of it.. thinking that Keegan must have given her something plastic to play with.. to cut the corn up.

Guess i was wrong.. and wasn’t paying too, too much attention to what the brat had to say. See.. she was really cutting up some corns.. with a butter knife. And Keegan was watching over her. And the brat was very serious about doing her job right too.

And doing a darn good job too..!

When I first arrived in Canada.. it was during Christmas time.. and i can still vividly remembered till today.. that the first gift i bought for my spouse’s cousin for Christmas and for her hospitality towards me.. during my visit .. was a Wine Rack for her bar at the basement of her house in Brampton, Ontario.Wine Rack are actually the best gift that you can give to anyone .. on any occasion. And if you are like me.. who have a bit of wine every now and then.. and have a decent wine collection in the basement, you would need a wine rack to show them off.. when you have friends or relatives over right.

And now that i’ve found an online store that carries wine racks at an affordable prices, plus ships nationwide.. i fret no more.. when it comes to a special occasion/gifts. And i don’t have to lug any heavy wine racks through customs anymore, if i order from The Vine Store. Don’t you just love the convenience..?? The Vine Store carries the finest wine rack and have a wide range for you to choose from. Their wine racks are in different wine bottle sizes to fit both your home and business wine storage. Once again.. i cannot stressed enough . . on how affordable it is. All products are with a 100% satisfaction guarantee..!

The Malaysian Bloggers are making such an impact in Malaysia.. that I am in awe of them. Bloggers in Malaysia are passionate.. about a cause. Be it political or for food .. or just covering events .. or stating their claim in a particular part of their life, they are doing it at full force. No .. we don’t really see such fervent enthusiasm here, in fact when i was asking an owner in town to do an article about his store for my traveling blog, he had asked the man.. what a blog is.

There are a few younger people i know that has a blog but they are not doing anything the way the Malaysian bloggers are doing or anywheres near it. I do feel a tinge of sadness .. when i do get to talk to them, for most keep a blog to show their partying weekends.. and how they managed to knock themselves out in the toilet bowl. What is the mentality of the bloggers here and the mentality in Malaysia/Asia…?? is it because in Asia.. we have to fight for everything . .and here we donch have to..??? because it’s laid out in a serving plate for those who wants to take it..?? Can I make a difference..?? me one person .. ?? We need more Malaysians here.. !!

Paris is the most romantic place one can go for a vacation. Anyone who talks about Paris thinks about the Eiffel Tower but they are right if you do go to Paris, you have to tour the Eiffel Tower not only the morning but once at night too. The spectacular view is not only breath-taking it is the most historical thing one can do with your loved ones. Be it the whole family or just your spouse.

There are way too many things to do in Paris and too many places that one must not missed. Tours in Paris can be arranged with the most reputable tour company, Isango. One can soak in the culture and save lots of time by using a experienced tour guide. You also get to beat the queue.. at certain places of interest and never be disappointed that you might missed out on something you had already planned to do.

Vacationing in Paris is a must for all romantic souls, be it your honeymoon, or just a wedding anniversary to spark that love life of yours again. Paris brings out the best in anyone and by leaving the arrangements with the professional, you know that you will leave with the most memorable and valuable stories to tell your grandchildren.

My in-laws are very outdoorsy people .. and so is Richard my brother-in-law.. but PB and I donch get to do alot of outdoor stuff.. because we have a business to look after (that’s our excuse .. and we are sticking by it). Although we are not the outdoorsy type.. we hope to let Chloe try everything we can get her to. But chloe being chloe.. she is afraid of everything.. and wouldn’t even go into the canoe. .even though it wasn’t in the water during the weekend.

After much cajoling.. she agreed to go in .. sitting on Papa’s lap. What wuss..! muahhaha!!

Living in a small town like here and owning a business.. you kind of get to know just about everybody in town. We don’t have very many big offices in town.. nor huge corporation or even representative offices here. We do have a call center here that had been doing great stuff for the people in this town, like opening jobs in various department and different areas.

Some gets hired on . .and some don’t. The reasons are pretty obvious… yet they don’t really know. You see in any interview.. the first impression counts .. and as far as I can see it.. some younger people just don’t know how to boost their image .. nor sell themselves. When I do get a customer who comes in dejected and wonder why he didn’t get the job when he was more qualified, I asked him to try a simple make-over, like taking care of one’s body ordour and skin care regiment that can make one look alot more presentable.

Of course like any man, they feel that putting on perfume and cleansing and exfoliating the face is a girl thing. So i recommended them to this range of product BOSS, BOSS FRAGRANCES, BOSS-FRAGRANCES, HUGO BOSS, prestige, fragrance, BOSS Bottled, BOSS Selection, BOSS femme, BOSS In Motion, BOSS In Motion Edition, BOSS Intense, BOSS Woman, essence de femme, BOSS Soul , which is suitable for both man, woman and teenagers. Afterall the brand BOSS is not girly at all and they do not have to worry about getting teased about it. But of course, I also warned them not to pour the whole bottle of perfume on themselves.. when they are going for the next interview.

I was watching a chinese movie just now.. and saw how the couple was snuggling up to each other.. and thought about my own relationship. You know in the beginning of a new relationship.. we snuggle up with our ex-b/fs .. or ex-husband.. or the present one.. so tightly .. and cannot let go. Sleep also must hold hands type..?? You remember those days..?? And after many years.. if one has got no kids.. still snuggle abit lah.. !! but once we have kids.. aiyoh..!! cannot wait to go to bed.. and snore quickly.

Now donch you think “ang mohs” are any different ok..!!! what you see on movies. .and tvs.. are not exactly true lah..! maybe there are couples who are loving and snuggly still after having a few kids.. but how many can say.. they are still feeling the same when they first met their spouse..?? Honestly you tell me.. and share notes ??

Well.. any discount is good discount right..?? Check it out!! I’m gonna let some of my friends know about this, I bet someone in Nunvat would appreciate it.

Good in-laws are very important to your relationship to your other half. Why do i say that..?? because all women loves to complain. Now.. now..! donch tell me you donch..! I complained alot.. if i am upset.. when something does happen to the brat because I am upset.. and can get very emotional.

And you see .. i would MSN my in-laws.. and tell them .. what is going on.. and in the meantime.. i would be going on a rant..! Yes.. literally .. a rant. But my in-laws.. especially my MIL .. she NEVER patronized me.. she just agree with me.. without trashing my other half. And let me go on and on .. for hours. And neither does she repeat what i said to her to the other half.. thus never causing a friction in between us. I’m seriously wondering if it makes a difference..with having an “ang moh” in laws. Had i married an asian..?? would it still be the same..??? What do you think..??

Yes.. the brat has a very special bond with Keegan her babysitter. But how can she not.. right..?? afterall.. Keegan had been babysitting her for 3 yrs now.. and it seems like just yesterday..when Keegan first babysat for me. And she is like an older daughter .. i never had. Yes.. I am old enough to be her mother.

So when someone hurts Keegan.. like her ex did.. we are of course upset too. I am not saying that Keegan is perfect.. i’m sure far from it.. but it is sad .. that i had to say to myself.. “i told her so..! ” .. which of course i didn’t. Such a lovely kid.. deserves someone better.. with less drama eh..? Of course if Keegan was my daughter.. someone would be getting a beating..!!

Yes .. without my glasses, i am partially handicapped. I remember how i would fret ..when i travel .. and had to make sure that i had back up pairs of glasses with me. And also looked a wee bit silly having to swim with my glasses.. when i was younger.. and didn’t know about prescription goggles. For people like me Lasik may be the alternative of expensive glasses and lenses .. and those goggles. I hear that the success rate for Lasik is like 99.9% and very safe.

We have a very bad habit .. when we take our meals. At the store, we eat in front of the computer.. and as soon as there is no customers. But at home.. we never eat in the kitchen.. because we don’t have a tv there. I had contemplated on putting a tv wall mount in the kitchen.. so that we can finally eat in the kitchen.. instead of the tv room. Afteall, the dining room is going to waste.. coz’ we only at there once.

While other kids run wild and screaming or some even crying and thumping the floors for candies not bought for them., and calling their parents name, the brat went to find a book .. and was looking at it.. and reading it. She never asked for presents.. or to buy anything .. unless she was told that we were going out to buy her something.

She wouldn’t destroy the book either.. and she would just flip it thru’ and sometimes asked you to read to her. She would asked if she can buy it .. and when you tell her.. it doesn’t have a red tag.. she wouldn’t fuss at all.

At the end of the trip.. she would put the story book back where she found it. .and leave with us.. no fuss.. nothing. Absolutely nothing at all. We sure lucked in on this behavior.

I love plants.. be it for our home.. or for our stores. And i believed strongly in having plants around the house not only to beautify the house.. but also to create a balance in the house .. for feng shui reasons. Unfortunately, plants just don’t survived when they are with me. Ask my in-laws.. and they will tell you .. how they had to bring home my almost dead plants.. and try and revived it.

But like i said.. for feng shui reasons.. we still need plants around. I had wanted to get those plastics ones.. but my feng shui master told me.. that the better choice would be those make of silk. Having no green thumb.. i welcome the idea of getting silk plants as an alternative. Not only are they easy to maintain.. they don’t need to be in the sunshine.. or nor I have to fear that the store might be too cold for the plants at night during the winter months.

They are awfully long lasting.. and the best part of getting silk plants are .. they carry no pollen particles, so no allergies in the house. No watering required.. no vitamins for the plants.. nor replanting .. or worried about soaking the soil. Plus with the silk plants looking exactly like the real thing and very affordable, one can easily move the plants to any room you want in the house. You can also order your plants online and have them ship to anywheres in the world.

For those of you .. who’ve noticed and liked the new theme of my blog.. which i never thought anyone can help.. because this is blogsome, I have one person to thank. .and that is Heather Abe from Goofy Girl Design. Actually, I saw Goofy Girl’s work on other blogs .. and I went ahead and contacted her.

Donch you think she did a great job..?? and not only that.. it wasn’t expensive either.. and she was very accommodating… and did alot of extra work for me. A week after contacting Goofy Girl.. everything was done.. she uploaded the theme for me.. and worked with me.. for another few days.. to make sure i was ok. .with the colors and fonts.. etc. Unlike Blogspot… Blogsome needed her to do stuff manually and from scratch.. and she didn’t asked for extras for those things done. What an awesome person!!!

Heather Abe.. is not your ordinary Goofy Girl.. ! she is a future doctor. And she is absolutely nice..! and humble..! So if you liked what you see.. and want her to revamp your blog.. contact her directly. I know she is accepting jobs for the month of May..!

Just a quick update on Chloe, she did her pee pee in the bottle this morning without much fuss. In fact, I was taken by surprised .. because she was fussing about it .. last nite.. and said.. she didn’t want to do it. So i guess explaining and giving her time to absorb .. what was to be done .. is better than forcing her to do it immediately.

We sent her pee pee to the lab this morning.. and an hour later.. the doctor’s office called.. and yes.. she does have an infection. An anti-biotic is being prescribed.. in liquid form.. and she took it .. with very little fuss. She didn’t want to drink the cranberry juice though.

A culture is being ordered by the doctor.. and we will go from there. She seems to be pee less already since this morning even before the medication, and her redness around her peepee area.. is not so red already.

We went to the Dr Zia’s office today .. to see about Chloe’s peeing problem. He didn’t say much .. but suspect that she might have a mild UTI. A urine test is being ordered .. so now .. we have to get the brat pee in the bottle and send them out to the lab.

For some unknown reason.. she doesn’t wanna pee into the bottle… even though we explained to her.. how to do it .. and that it didn’t hurt or anything. But overall, she was really good at the doctor’s office.. and didn’t fussed much.. except when the doctor wanted to check her temperature.. and feel her tummy. So mummies out there.. pray tell.. how to get the brat to pee in the bottle… HEELLPPP..!!!
