Donut lovers .. can now have healthier donuts ..!! Woohoo..!! Dunkin’ Donuts is to produce better donuts with zero grams of trans fat. Truth be told.. i still love plain donuts with sugar.. from back home.. dunked into your mamak store’s kopi - O.

Dunkin’ Donuts say.. they are not trying to make healthy doughnut but to create a better one wor.. ??!!!?? Isn’t it the same..?? playing with words lah..!! And no more trans fat in Canada..?? It says.. by 2008 restaurants in Calgary cannot have trans fat no more.. and Toronto is aiming for a similar ban. Looks like even the restaurants are asked to eliminate those trans fats from all other food too and they need to do so before July 2008.

Is Canada or the Canadians trying to be a healthier country..?? Because Singapore started it many moons ago.. ! I remember the Healthy Living Month.. and all. I was heavily involved with the Ministry of Health during the first promo year.

Many a times, we are too proud to admit that we need cash to tide us over difficult times in our lives. Many a times, we planned and we saved and something always comes out of the blue and knock us out of our momentum. Have you had days like that..?? and you don’t know who you can turn to.. for a helping hand immediately..?? Say for example, your child needed a root canal at the dentist.. and it will cost you close to $1K and you only have $500.00 extra cash but you know he/she needs to get that tooth taken care of immediately..??

Sure you can go to the bank and plead your case .. but can your child wait this long…?? with that aching tooth..?? Are you going to go borrow from family or friends.. and embarrass yourself if they shun you ..?? And plus I never believe in borrowing from family and friends if i can help it.. for fear of losing the friendship because of money.

Payday Loans has higher interest rates than your friendly neighbourhood bank.. but you and I know that your friendly neighbourhood bank is not going to come through for you when life throws you a curve ball.

Quick and easy plus most importantly, confidential for emergency cash and definitely no giving you the once over like the bank does, Payday Loans ABC can help and is meant for people who needs helps like yesterday. No officers and interviews, just an online application to complete and in less than 24hrs, your loan will be in an account you choose. And they are not biased either, even if you have absolutely NO CREDIT, they can help. Any US citizen is eligible for this loan.

Curtains has never been cheap.. as far as I am concerned..unless you have wonder hands.. and sew them yourself. Workmanship is the thing that kills.. !! and even here .. when you can get ready-made ones.. without having to go to Ikea.. is still expensive.

They come in one panel for $25.00 for the good ones.. and our windows here are HUGE..!! so you prolly like need at least.. 3 panels.. meaning about $75.00 and then you have to get someone to sew up the length.. because it is TOO FREAKING LONG..!! why can’t they make curtains shorter.. to fit.. !! So after pay $75 + 14% in taxes for one room of the house.. you prolly need to pay like $30 for the sewing up..!! Arrrghhh..!!

Well.. not like home was any cheaper.. i think i paid $800 for doing the curtain for the whole house..! 3 bedrooms .. and a living room.! the living room was a long one.. with 2 layers.. the morning and nite curtains.. and the bedrooms.. were short ones.. coz’ i wanted it to be easy to wash.

So there..!! i think i really need to learn how to sew.. plus get some cheap fabrics.. from China.. because fabrics are ex here too..!! What about you ..?? how much did curtains cost for you ..??

Aunt Helena, Uncle Garth, Aunt Sandra is leaving on Tuesday to Maine for their yearly Blue Grass Festival. Seriously, I wished my in-laws could go too.. but this is the busiest season for them.. so i know my MIL donch wanna leave my FIL on his own .. with the garden.

I think they are driving up to Maine .. in their trailer and all. From here to St John and then the ferry from Digby.. and then to Maine. According to Aunt Helena.. it’s only a 6hrs drive.. so it ain’t too bad. Did you know that the easiest way to get to Maine .. is going by the Cat ..?? I love Maine..! it’s very nice.. and the ppl there are warm. But it’s also expensive in Maine.. when we were there 3.5 yrs ago. Maybe.. when Chloe is older.. we’ll go for the blue grass thing with Aunt Helena.. with my in-laws..

We love going everywhere with my in-laws.. if you donch know by now.

I am not very much into used cars, the reason being, I am very afraid.. that it might break down as soon as I buy it and I would have to spend alot more just to get it fixed. Now that was before coming to Canada. But now that I don’t usually do the driving .. but my spouse does, he has convinced me that buying a used car is not such a “danger” as I see it. Yes, I am pretty paranoid, all because I have a young toddler who travels with us constantly.

So while looking for a second car for the family, we found a really good Ford Dealer, who was not only patient but awfully helpful towards us. Afterall, buying a car is a big purchase in my opinion.. and one don’t want to rush into anything unless you are absolutely sure. This good man.. helped us from choosing our car to the loan department and to delivering our used car right up to our house and even filled up our “new” used car for us… before going off his way.

We bought a Used Ford, it was a Ford Focus 2001 - 4 door sedan and we’ve never regretted doing so because it’s easy to drive, it’s comfortable, spacious, looks nice and sturdy .. even though it wasn’t automatic, it didn’t give us any trouble at all. Mileage wasn’t bad at all using our used Ford Focus but since moving to town, it did cost us a little bit more. Minor problems like the fuse was blown wasn’t even the fault of the Ford, so basically, we lucked in with our used Ford Focus. And if i had to choose again, I would choose the Ford Focus for sure.. and this is a true story because below you can see our Ford Focus that we’ve been using for years.

It’s amazing .. how the brat would responds to some stuff.. and answer you in a matter of factly way.. just like an adult. I wonder if it has anything to do with us… since she does pick up alot from the way we talk and act.

But at other times.. you just donch know where she gets the answers from.. or the way.. she answers us. For example.. if there was something we donch want her to do.. or eat.. she would answer you . “No.. Mom..!” in an exasperated manner.. hhahaha!! I wonder if we do that to her.. unconsciously .. or not..?? otherwise.. how would she have the funny way of saying. “No Mom..!!”

What’s your take on it..?? does your kid talk to you .. and make your jaws drop..?? muaahhahaha!! mine does..!
