Happy Valentine's Day

Yes...14th February is marked as Valentine's Day...
Do I celebrate it? .... ** :( ... the answer : NO.
I could not remember when is the last time I celebrated Valentine's Day..I believe before I got marriage. After my marriage,no more Valentine's Day for me and husband and we don't even remember THIS DAY.
Talking about Valentine's gifts....I don't think I ever received any valentine gifts before except roses (during my dating time)....My hubby is not a romantic type person and don't expect him to bring me for romantic dinner or give me any suprises. Anyway, all these are not important to me..as long as he treats me well and love our family ,that is more than enough.

At here, I wish all my bloggers' friends " Happy Valentine's Day"...any celebration with your spouses/lover?...

CNY angpow packet...

First, I wanna wishes all my blogger friends " Happy Lunar New Year"
Today is the 9th day of Chinese New Year....next Thursday will be Chap Go Meh,there will be another round of steamboat dinner for 3 of us again. I like to prepare steamboat for dinner,it is much more simple and taste delicious.
This year, our chinese new year celebration is more quiet as my MIL is not at home,less relative come for a visit too...so most of the goodies will be whose share? .... 2 ( me and my husband's portion).

As usual, I am still collecting those CNY angpow packets from bank,supermarket and companies. It has been my 7th year of collecting angpow packets and I am still doing it,it has been part of my hobby. Too bad my MIL is not at Sibu this year,so for sure I will have less angpow packets..normally she will help to collect some from her friends and relatives.
But I am very happy that I got some angpow packets through Facebook....and they look very nice. They definitely add to my collection.

For those blogger friends who also collect angpow packets, we can always share our collection (for extra piece). If you guys have any nice angpow packet and wanna share with me...I always welcome it too...

Ryan's school update

After holiday for one week during CNY celebration,last Monday Ryan started his school again.
I was so worried that he may refuse to go to school after resting for one week, but lucky he did not. The only thing,Ryan has to sleep more earlier before 10.30pm on weekdays as the next day he has to wake up early for school.
Today has been the third day Ryan go to school, overall he is still doing fine,only when I waved 'goodbye' to him, Ryan showed me a sad face and tears shed down,but he did not cry so bad.
I did asked the teacher about Ryan's performance at school.....Glad to know that he can mix around with his friends now.
I just hope Ryan can adapt well at this new school....

Outdoor Lighting

Our new house is almost come to completion stage and now it is time to do some renovation works for the house . For the kitchen and furniture, it has been arranged ,the only thing we are looking for is the lightings for both indoor and outdoor.It is not an easy task to look for lights as there are many different types and we have to set our budgets on anything we are going to spend on our new house.
Choosing the right Outdoor wall lights will create an elegant atmosphere with warmth,thus give an elegant look and improve my modern home exterior. When our guests come and pay a visit,outdoor wall lighting will be the first key impression.
To make it looks perfect,we can opt for installing outdoor wall scones or exterior motion sensor & security lights.
I would say,nowadays the lights design are pretty nice and after been looking for so many different types, I still can't decide which one should I buy for the outdoor wall scones. Some of them have a very unique design which I like,but the price is slightly higher than my budget.
Due to high crime rates, I might need exterior motion sensor and security lights for my new house. At least I will need two sets for the whole house,for the front and back of the house.
Their designs are much more simple and the price is pretty reasonable too.

RDS Medical

Chinese New Year is still going on and during our reunion dinner, I got the chance to meet all my cousins and we are having a good chat for all night. One of my cousin has just graduated from university and he is very lucky to get a good pay job in pharmacy industry.
He highlighted to me about RDS Medical Compound pharmacy. It is a company providing full-service specialized in Customizable Steroid Injections, Bio Identical Hormones and Anti-Aging Medicine for Men and Women.
Since I am not in this industry , I am wondering what is compounding pharmacies? I am glad that my cousin has given me brief explanation that compounding pharmacy will mix drugs/hormons based on each patient's requirement. They can also tranform the medicine from pill to liquid.
It is definitely a very good additional knowledge that I learnt from my cousin that night.

Thanks to AAF...

Few weeks ago, I joined AAF contest for creating CNY e-card (through Facebook) and I won myself a car boot organizer (green colour) from AAF..this is my second prize from AAF.
So far, I have two car boot organizers from AAF and they are pretty useful. I can put and arrange my things neatly using the car boot organizer. Definitely a good prize for me..

For those ,who has not joined AAF group...let's login to your facebook account and join AAF.

Low Cost Business

Setting up own business is everyone dream. Some people prefer to do own business than being employed,but of course there are group of people who prefer to work with others,at least less risk and worries and every month just wait for the salary to be in.
However,there is a proverb says : No risk ,No gain.
Therefore investing in low cost franchise is also a good idea for someone who really want to do their own small business. Of course,before putting the investment in, you have to do some studies on the type of business that you are interested in,doing some surveys and then only come out with business proposal. A franchise can be a huge money maker if you can get into the right one for you.
Another way doing low cost business is having a home business such as setting up an online store. You can set your own budget and doing some research on what business that you are interested in and more suitable for the current market.
Some of my friends are doing an online store and their business is pretty good and slowly they open up their market to overseas customers.
The most important is you must have confidence on yourself and set your goal in order to be success.

Acne remover

I was visiting my friend last week and we were chit chatting about our daily life, our kids and also about our skin.
My friend told me that she is suffering from Acne on her neck for the past few months. She feel embarrasing,depressing and low self esteem because of this sickness. She has been seeking for treatment,but it shows very slow recovery.
What is neck acne?..It is basically caused by the pores getting clogged due to a build-up of cells inside pores which stick together and cause a plug. These pores can burst, causing redness and pus to develop.Irritation can also aggravate neck acne.

So I am browsing online for some information on neck acne and came across Acne Remover
book. It provide a complete information on what food help and reduce the acne and what to do with acne problem. I quickly recommended this book to my friend and she is happy to get to know about this book. It definitely help her a lot to cure her acne.

Shoe Shoe..

Chinese New year is coming soon...another 2 more days and I still can't find any suitable shoes for this Chinese New year.
Suddenly it strike my mind to buy shoes online..it is more convenience & I can get the shoes I want at my doorstep.
I came across a website named Toricks, they are selling all type of ladies shoes.
Their design are great and the most important the price is reasonable too.
After browsing through their pages, I like Pewter mid heel sandals. The design is very nice and the most important it is suitable for pant and skirt usage. So what to wait...let's make my order at the shoes online UK and hope I can get my order before Chinese New Year.
