As promised this is the knockoff that PB bought for Chloe but it’s still a wee bit big for her.. so she cannot run very properly. Chloe is so different from last year. Last year she didn’t wanna have anything to do with the Crocs.. we bought her one.. but she refused to wear it. This year.. she was so keen about it.. and kept asking for it. Now that i know she will wear it.. i’m gonna get her the real deal.. when i get a chance to go to the mall. But i think i wanna get her the disney crocs.. ! Have you see those..?? those are cute..!!

The apple and worm jibbit is from her hairstylist .. Francine. !! and she keeps telling everyone that. I wanna get some more for her.. if i get a chance to go to the mall today. Coz’ i got keegan today for the whole day..!!

Online University Podcast

Filed under: Uncategorized - Mama BoK @ 1:49 pm

A Online education podcast for one to focus on the experience of earning an online degree, is the lastest on Capella University. An accredited online university with more than 19,000 student on their registrar, it’s released what we can call a favorable tool for all students and potential students.

Lastest podcast featuring a conversation with Carla Chladek a PhD student with Capella University about her work as Program Manager for the Joint Staff Training Program at the Pentagon. Carla who is pursuing a master’s degree at Capella and she is also responsible for ensuring that training needs are met for 2,000 military members. I figured if someone like Carla is pursuing her Master’s with Capella, Capella must be one of the best online university around.

Hear regular podcast featuring Capella University’s student, the staff, and faculty about their real life experience and their point of view first hand. And they are usually only 15mins long and wouldn’t take too much of your time but would give you an idea when you are trying to decide on upgrading yourself.

Coincidence Or Freaky

Filed under: Business/Career, Amusing/Musing, Random Ranting, This Town - Mama BoK @ 1:40 pm

This morning.. i was talking to PB about an email i received. I had told PB i wasn’t in a hurry to reply to this email… because i do not consider this person sending this email to be a friend. He and his wife .. seems to be the kind of person.. only to be around.. when they are in need.. or have a favour to ask of you.

This afternoon.. guess who turned up at the store..?? hhahhhaha!! his wife..!! Freaky eh..?? or is it just coincidence..??

So moral of my story.. donch talk about ppl.. in the daylight.. hahhaha!! else they show up in front of you.

Acrylic Aquariums

Filed under: Uncategorized - Mama BoK @ 1:38 pm

For Fengshui reasons, we are actually considering on putting a acrylic aquariums at our store. It was actually recommended by a fengshui master that we’ve hired a few years ago from Halifax.

We chose the acrylic fish tank because it’s lighter, clearer but much strong than the ordinary fish tank. With rounded corners without the silicone seams, it allows better viewing and it really looks better in presentation wise. Plus, they do customize the size and the shape to suit your needs.

And who better than to leave it to the professionals from FishTanksDirect . Customer service is highly commendable as they will help you pick the perfect aquarium or help you customize your existing fish tank.

How does one eat PIZZA everyday..?? Well .. of course.. the size shows too.. when one eats pizza so regularly like some of the ppl do here.

You should really see the size of some of the ppl here.. oh boy..!! the huge bums they have.. and some got stomach dropping on the floor..!! I kid you NOT..!

I Can’t Fathom These Ppl

Filed under: Uncategorized, This Town - Mama BoK @ 1:11 pm

Yesterday afternoon, while Chloe was watching TV.. and PB and I were busy doing our own things.. with a few customers in the store.. an ex- worker .. from 3.5yrs ago.. walked into our store.

I looked up.. and didn’t greet s/him as soon as i realized who it was. I’m not trying to be rude.. but really ppl like that .. i cannot phantom..! This fella .. bad-mouthed us.. even till today.. and the lastest was to Keegan our babysitter… !! asking Keegan to be careful of us.. because we deducted his pay of $120.00 3.5yrs ago. But he also conveniently forgot to tell Keegan’s b/f why we deducted his pay.

3.5yrs ago.. when I was having Chloe.. we hired him on.. to help out because I was going to deliver Chloe.. and being Christmas.. the store was very busy. Instead of helping us at the store.. thus giving PB and I free time.. to deal with the hospital and having a new baby.. everyday.. he loses money from the cashbox. Many a times.. we caught him giving back wrong change. And worst of all… he refused to collect a deposit from customer/s who had placed special orders during Christmas.. thus we lost some customer/s and irate a few too. His reason for not collecting a deposit was that “he didn’t feel right” since we didn’t have the product in stock”!!!!

Computer Carts

Filed under: Uncategorized - Mama BoK @ 2:37 am

Our computer room at home consist of 3 computers. One for me.. one for my spouse and another of course for my daughter.. even though she is only 3.5yrs old.. we needed to get her one.. so she can use the computer to go online to Sesame Street website while we work. So you can imagine.. how cramped our computer room is.. especially we have a book shelf, my daughters high chair.. and all her toys too.

To maximize space, our only solution is to get Computer Carts. Not only are they slim and versatile, they are made in different models to suit your needs. I myself love the model where the LCD monitor arms can be rotated and tilted for the convenience of others to see the screen besides myself. Since it is adjustable, i do not have to worry about buying a new one when my daughter is older.

All Versa’s computer carts are guaranteed for life, and I mean all parts not partially like some manufacturer would offer. A lifetime warranty and quantity discount begins with only 2 products. I am definitely choosing wisely… a win-win situation for us.

PB & The Brat’s Food

Filed under: Food Review, Brat Stuff, Amusing/Musing, The Other Half - Mama BoK @ 2:15 am

PB doesn’t say very much to be honest. And he doesn’t complain alot either.. about my housekeeping or my cooking. Usually he is very smart.. he wouldn’t say a thing.

But the recent trip up to Halifax.. i can see that PB is actually very “kancheong” about what the brat eats. We donch usually give the brat frozen or can food… but when i suggested that we do.. when we were planning our trip to Halifax.. PB didn’t say much.

The nite before the trip.. he made hamburger helper with pasta and packed it away for the brat’s trip. He then said.. that this was definitely healthier.. than frozen food. Unfortunately, PB failed to remember.. that if the food is not kept cool.. and we bring it around .. with us.. for hours.. it might be contaminated. But seeing that he cooked it.. i didn’t really say too much. But the next trip to Halifax.. I’ll make sure.. we bring our electric cooler along.
