Smell of Coconut

Filed under: Uncategorized, Amusing/Musing, This Town - Mama BoK @ 7:33 pm

You sometimes gotta wonder ..what ppl are thinking about..?? The NSLC (Nova Scotia Liquor Corp) marketing department just announced today that they will be using Coconut Scent in selected stores across Nova Scotia.

When we talk about liquors, mixed drinks, that kind of thing, you think of pina coladas, margaritas, so that’s why the smell of coconut.”

So here I walk into a liquor store.. and wanna go get a case of beer.. and then .. i am supposed to smell this coconut smell..and think of pina coladas..?? And then turn around .. and buy some..??

“it just helps support that whole ambience of the store”

Ok.. now i’m really confused..! ambience..?? coconut scent.. and ambience..?? ok.. now .. that’s some weird and odd thinking .. donch you think..?? “Subliminal” was the response that they have already gotten from some customers. What do you think..?? would you want to smell the scent of coconut in a liquor store..?? Personally, I wouldn’t mind.. but it does nothing for me.. if i was in a liquor store to buy a bottle of wine.. or a case of beer for my brother-in-law or father-in-law. So why waste money.. eh..??

A Conversation with the MIL

Filed under: Uncategorized, Amusing/Musing - Mama BoK @ 6:07 pm

Yesterday, while visiting my MIL .. i finally remembered to bring back her pyrex bowl that she loan me.. when she gave me some baked rice for Chloe a few weeks ago.

When i handed over the bowl to my MIL .. she said to me. ” i thought you were supposed to return the bowl with something in it..??” then she laughed. In which I replied.. “I’m Canadianized..!” muaahahhahahahahaha!!!

Yes.. i love my in-laws to bits.. coz’ they have such good sense of humor..! and nope.. i have to stress .. i’m not gonna get this with a chinese MIL and that’s for sure..!

Web Hosting Information

Filed under: Uncategorized - Mama BoK @ 5:40 pm

I have bloggers/acquaintances/family .. and friends asking me about hosting their own blog and domain names and all sorts with regards to web hosting.. and as much as I would love to give them the information of all that I know.. I only have very limited knowledge because all the research work was done by my spouse.. when I decided to host my new blog with my own domain name.

Now I can recommend them to a website host, that can help them and provide them with information that they will need in order to have their own website and own domain. Webhosting Information does more than that of course, if you look at their website, you will find resources, reviews and news about dedicated hosting, budget hosting and reviews on which hosting gives you the best deals.

For example, they did a review on “Hosting Excellence” where they provide plans starting from $11.95 with two year advance billing option. No set up fees if you select a quarterly billing option. 50 gigs of disk space and 400 gigs of monthly data transfer. With 4 free domains offered to new customers, you can host up to ten domains with this plan..!! all just for $11.95 per month..! Now you tell me .. if that isn’t a great deal.. or what..!

Web Hosting Information is definitely the place to check out for all your hosting questions and they even have podcast..!! so if you are lazy to read.. have fun hearing their podcast .. and i love the one on SDL database and moving it and you will need it.. when you move to your new host.. and have your own domain. So if you are like me, you will find web hosting information, not only useful but it certainly helped me .. with some of the questions .. that i can’t even ask my spouse. Easy to navigate, it provides you with useful web hosting related resources and company reviews.

Donch Play, Play with The Natives In Canada

Filed under: Random Ranting, Around The World - Mama BoK @ 4:55 pm

The Natives “Indians” in Canada.. who received all sorts of privileges from the Canadian government because they were the first settlers in Canada.. donch have to pay taxes for anything they purchase here in Canada. They donch have to buy houses.. because the Native Community will build them a house in the reserve .. and they sort of live by their own codes.

And donch you play, play with the natives here.. because .. the Federal Government and courts are paying out 1.9 billion to former students who claimed to be sexually, physically and/or psychologically abused at the 130 schools that were jointly run by the government.. and religious organization until the mid 70s.

You will never find this kinda compensation .. as much as $34K for each individual .. in Asia, not from the garmen nor the individual. So why Canada so special leh..?? Asians not as “laku” ka..??

Preparing for a Pounding

Filed under: Weather, Around The World - Mama BoK @ 12:31 am

While we are here preparing for a nice Sunday outing.. Hurricane Dean Roars into Jamaica and the Jamaicans are preparing to get pounded..!

I donch know if you are aware of it or not.. but Canadians.. loves to take their holidays in the Caribbean.. and one of the spots they go to.. on a yearly basis is Jamaica. I hear that some from Canada is stranded there.. because Air Canada had canceled some flights.

Those in Cayman Islands are stranded because flights are only operated on Sundays. And airports are closed on late Saturday nite..! I would really be devastated.. if i were there on holiday and can’t find alternative to bring my families home safely .. and what about those who have got loved ones stranded there.. and can’t do anything.. because the airport is closed..?? Can’t even hire a private jet.. to bring them home.

So say you have someone in Cayman Islands.. and no flights going there till sunday.. what would you do..?? Yes.. i would try to hire a private jet.. to bring them home. I know it’s gonna be expensive.. but i’ll do what it takes.. to bring them home for sure. Even if it means.. everything i have. What about you..?? What would you do..??
