Car Trip, Anyone?

MQ — Fri, 12 Mar 2010 10:16:06 +0000

We have been planning to go on a longer-than-usual car trip with the little one next month. We have not been doing such trip since he was 6 months because we dreaded the whole commotion and havoc that comes with it. Remember the last trip to East Coast that we did, how we have to endure [...]

What Does A “Stay-At-Home-Mom” Put On Her Resume?

MQ — Fri, 12 Mar 2010 06:46:36 +0000

Honestly I haven’t updated my resume since my last job in 2004. There were many occasions that I felt compelled to update mine but half way through I didn’t manage to complete it. And that was way, way before the time I have a baby. Yesterday, while doing the horoscope for child-parent, I came across this question [...]

Let Your Child Roam Taurus vs Sagittarius Your Sagittarius child is energetic and curious by nature and wants nothing more than to get out and roam the wide world. From an early age, he loves being outdoors regardless of the temperature or weather conditions, and he adores travel, even if it’s just a trip to the grocery [...]

*This entry might contain some ranting and bad words that could hurt some people with sensitive feeling** I woke up yesterday and checked my biz phone. There were 3 missed calls from a same number and it was Amway number when I tried to call back. Just as I expected, it must be something to do with [...]

A 14-mo Artwork

MQ — Tue, 09 Mar 2010 07:05:39 +0000

We bought a roll of paper and a bunch of marker pens from IKEA just to start a simple toddler art time with our dear son. So after the first introduction to the markers, here is the outcome. The paper has been sprayed to make it acid free before I put them in this crackled frame. I [...]

Gosh! Time flies this year…and it’s March already. What have I achieved in February? Monetary wise I have accumulated around RM500 from my online and offline work.

I hope whoever stumbled upon my blog will notice the announcement I have above all the blog entries about my 2 craft classes - bunga dip and decoupage which will be held in March 2010. I’m sure not many know what is decoupage. I got many email and even a phone call from radio station asking [...]

MQ — Tue, 23 Feb 2010 19:03:59 +0000

(I have to backdate this entry since the sticky doesn’t work) I am not sure whether I have shared this picture of bottles before. Maybe in another blog I have or in the forum..isk! BTW, the left bottle was done using decoupage techniques. I ordered the Christmas paper napkin from UK since the seller sold them [...]

Withdraw Money From Paypal to Maybank Account

MQ — Tue, 23 Feb 2010 14:47:45 +0000

Remember the entry I wrote about Planet Pulse? And I promised to tell if my withdrawal from PayPal to my Maybank account is successful. I withdrew some amount last Friday and I checked today, the money is already in..(which means it only takes 3 working days to process). No additional charges whatsoever from Maybank. If the [...]

Planning For A Home?

MQ — Mon, 22 Feb 2010 07:51:30 +0000

I was having a conversation online with a friend about her plan to buy a house. In Malaysia, people usually buy houses that have been built by developers so we have less choice to choose what type of house plans we desire. Unless we are really rich, can afford to buy vacant plot and pay [...]

How I Wish

MQ — Sat, 20 Feb 2010 20:23:52 +0000

Wouldn’t it be lovely to go on an all inclusive vacation once a while? To relax and unwind, not having to worry about giving tip or taking your wallet anywhere. Enjoying an endless array of land and water sport (well, that’s not for me anyway) but having facial, massage, pedicure and manicure on the Caribbean [...]

I just cash out another USD27 from them (actually I totally forgot about the money I have in Planet Pulse until I [...]

MQ — Wed, 17 Feb 2010 19:12:12 +0000

I always have many things to do every day (at least in my mind..huhu!) I tried to maximize the amount of tasks that could be completed so that by the time I go to sleep, I feel satisfied with myself. Like today, I did the laundry - 3 round of them (which has not been done [...]
