Private Jet Charters

Filed under: Around The World, Useful Links 101, Vacations/Travel - Mama BoK @ 11:42 pm

Flying economy class is uncomfortable at best unless the flight is very short. Going from here to Halifax is only a little over a half hour, so even though the plane is small, it’s bearable. Going across the country though and being in the air for 4 or 5 hours in a small seat is certainly no fun. Upgrading to business class almost quadruples the price, which makes Private Jet charters look like a more attractive option. Granted if you’re flying alone, the price may not be worth it, but if you’re traveling with a group or family members and can split the cost of the trip, you may find that a private jet really isn’t that expensive after all.

New Flight Charters has been specializing in Private Jets for a number of years now and is one of the largest providers of on-demand luxury jets in a wide variety of styles and price ranges. With an accident free record, they are one of the safest carriers in the world today. Round trip airfare starts as low as $950* per hour for an Executive Turbo Prop all the way up to $7,000* per hour for a large cabin jet such as a Gulfstream V. Pick your plane, get a quote and let New Flight Charters do the rest. Their price quotes include everything so there are no surprises later.

Did You Eat In Macdonalds Lately

Filed under: Health, Random Ranting, Around The World - Mama BoK @ 11:04 pm

If you are in Calgary and ate at McDonald’s between Oct. 1 and Oct. 23, you may have been exposed to Hep A. A food handler at a Calgary McDonald’s was confirmed to have the infectious disease. They closed the restaurant for several hours in order to dispose of anything that may have become contaminated and to disinfect the building. The risk is low but the health department is offering free vaccinations to anyone who may have come in contact with contaminated food. Hepatitis A is a virus which attacks the liver and can be spread by food handlers if they fail to properly wash their hands after using the washroom.

Cleaning The Store

Filed under: Useful Links 101, Shopping - Mama BoK @ 10:35 pm

I’m sharing my home vacuum with the store, not because we are stingy to get another one.. but because each time we get an upright and bagless one, they just don’t last at all. Plus for the amount of money we spent so far on vacuum cleaner.. and only have them work for a little more than a month .. it’s just not worth it. We tried to bring the vacuum cleaner back to the store we bought it from, to only be told that they only warranty it for a month, afterwhich we needed to send it back to the manufacturer…! NICE..!

Anyhow, we are going to try a new brand this time, can’t be sharing my vacuum with the store forever, afterall, the house needs the vacuum too right. Miele vacuum, have models that are both affordable and on the high end side, but i can only afford the affordable one.

Bak Kut Teh With Liver

Filed under: Food Review, Random Ranting - Mama BoK @ 10:25 pm

I had everything all planned out, to make Bak Kut Teh with liver tonite. Well.. i did make my Bak Kut Teh, in the slow cooker and was all ready to eat when we got home. And of course, i would have to cook some rice to go with it which i did.

An hour later, when i was getting food ready for the brat for dinner, and wanted to scoop the rice, guess what..?? i didn’t press the “on” switch to cook the rice..!! so i panic.. chloe was hungry.. and i forgot all about the liver..!! what a bummer ..!!! and i didn’t even get ginger to stir fry the ginger instead..!! So there goes my ultra plan .. for Bak Kut Teh with liver.. like what i saw in some floggers blog.

Shopping For The Man

Filed under: Useful Links 101, Shopping - Mama BoK @ 10:15 pm

The man does not like to dress up, not even for work. I’ve told him time and again, that the old chinese saying goes “people first see what you are dressed in.. before seeing you as a person”. Even buying shirts and pants, i need to keep harping at him.. to go get some extras or new ones. So much so that after being together for 7 yrs.. i too am being a real slacker when it comes to dressing up. But try as i might, he just wouldn’t dress up..!

Vacation Homes

Filed under: Useful Links 101, Vacations/Travel - Mama BoK @ 10:00 pm

Everyone takes vacations at least once a year, but we don’t because we own our own business. And with any business owners, you and I know we just can’t take off or apply for leave as and when we feel like it. So for every vacation time we have, we try to do something really special. Outer Banks, offers vacation homes, that will make your vacation stress free and and as comfy as possible.

Californians Return Home

Filed under: Family/From the Heart, Around The World - Mama BoK @ 4:59 pm

I’m very on the news about the wildfire in California because one of our fellow blogger had been evacuated from her home. In high spirits .. even though .. she faced losing her home, FireHorse..! I salute you ..!

I feel for those who’ve lost their home .. and wished there was more we can do for them over here. Many lost alot more, not in terms of monetary but memories. As they move back into their homes for those who have one left, the rest will have to wait for the evaluation team to restore and repair. Please continue to pray for those out there affected.

“More than a dozen fires were still burning, and those in San Diego County, the hardest hit in the region, were no more than 40 percent contained. About 8,500 homes in the county, where the value of housing lost was already estimated at more than $1 billion, were still threatened by the blazes.”

Gifts Of Love

Filed under: Uncategorized, Useful Links 101, Shopping - Mama BoK @ 4:21 pm

My mom loves buying jewelry as gift. She claims and firmly believes that nobody can resist a piece of beautifully made jewelry. She believes in giving gifts with value, if that make any sense to you. So each time we have a wedding or a celebration of a new born, jewelry it is.

Necklaces are bought most by my mum, the reason is because you don’t have to worry about whether it should fix the neck or not, because you can wear it long or short. Wherelse if it was a ring, it has to fit the fingers.. or if it was a bracelet, it had to fit the wrist. I love pearl necklaces, the more the merrier, one can’t own just one pearl necklace, as far as I am concerned.

These days, you can really get nice pieces of necklaces gift at very affordable prices, plus they are very well designed and lovely to wear. I can’t wait to get my hands on a Jade Dragon Pendant & Necklace, and it’s not expensive either. Christmas is just round the corner, I’ll hint to my mum.

Infuriating Is An Understatement Now

Filed under: Random Ranting, This Town - Mama BoK @ 12:42 pm

Yes.. it’s a real understatement of how i feel right now.. ! I don’t know about the rest of the town.. but this was what i read .. this morning.. on the net.

“The Municipality of Y will proceed with plans to build a much debated and much-talked-about new office building at the site of the former Hebron School. “

The new building would take 30 yrs to pay off and they are saying that it will not impact the tax rate or the municipality’s ability to undertake other capital projects..?? And that the sale of the old courthouse will help pay for the project..??

So the old courthouse ain’t good enough for the municipality office.. but good enough to be sold to some poor sucker..?? How are the taxpayer not gonna be affected..?? so how is the municpality gonna to pay for the new building of almost 5 million..?? call me STUPID..and FREAKING dumb.. ! all these makes no sense to me..?? where is the transparency in it..?? Where is this loan coming from..?? and how is the municipality gonna pay for it over 30 yrs..?? what kinda term and mortgages..??

“Dep Ward BN says he never got the sense that there was widespread opposition to a new building.”

IS HE KIDDING US..??!!!??? 100s of ppl turned up for the town meeting, the nite this was discussed.. there was no room.. ppl were turned away.. so i heard.. and was reported in our local papers.. and he is saying no sense of opposition…??? I better stop now.. else.. i’ll vomit blood..!

PS : I would like to clearly state, I am not into these political stuff at all, but when it affects my children and my children’s children.. then i have to take a stand..! Show me.. that this debt will not be a burden to my children and my children’s children… and i’ll not say another word.
