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!!

The First Impression Counts

Filed under: Health, Useful Links 101, Beauty, Shopping - Mama BoK @ 11:43 pm

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.

The New Relationship & The Old

Filed under: Amusing/Musing, The Other Half - Mama BoK @ 8:29 pm

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 ??

Your In-Laws & Your Other Half

Filed under: Amusing/Musing, The Other Half, The In-Laws - Mama BoK @ 4:04 pm

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..!!

I’m Partially Handicapped

Filed under: Health, Useful Links 101 - Mama BoK @ 2:17 pm

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.

Eating With Movies

Filed under: Useful Links 101, Home Furnishing - Mama BoK @ 1:40 pm

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 & Screaming

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.

Photobucket

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.

Photobucket

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.

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 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 .. 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..!
