Top 5 Myths about Drinks

1. Diet Pop is healthier than Regular Pop
   One can of regular pop contains about 135 kilocalories whereas a can of diet pop contains less than 10 kilocalories; some even contain zero kilocalories. Therefore, it is true that diet pop contains fewer calories. However, it is rather difficult to agree that diet pop is "healthier" as there is really nothing healthy about artificially colored and flavored water.


2. It is less fattening to drink juice than milk
   Many people are surprised to learn that a glass of juice contains more calories than a glass of one percent milk. Even two percent milk has only 10 kilocalories more than a glass of fruit juice, which has 120 kilocalories! While juice contains mostly sugar and some vitamins, milk has more nutrients such as protein, calcium, potassium and Vitamin D.


3. All bottled waters such as sparkling water, tonic water, flavored water, and mineral water are WATER
   Yes, plain bottled water is water and is calorie-free. Some flavored waters are made with water and real juice. However, many flavored waters are flavored with artificial sweeteners and contain little juice. Tonic water, for instance, has 125 kilocalories per serving. Hence, always read the label and check the ingredient list. If you drink bottled water instead of tap water regularly, make sure it contains fluoride.


4. Drinking wine instead of beer won't make a beer-belly
   It is a common misconception that wine contains fewer calories than beer. It is simply not true. One glass of wine (five ounces) contains about 130 kilocalories whereas one bottle of beer (12 ounces) has about 150 kilocalories. Therefore, wine contains more calories on a per-ounce basis. As a general rule, the sweeter the wine, the more sugar and calories it contains. By the same token for hard liquor; the higher the proof, the higher the calories.
   
   Remember this next time when you are contemplating a second helping of alcohol: calories from alcohol tend to be stored as fat in the abdomen. So, if you drink alcohol on a regular basis (regardless of the kinds of alcohol), watch out for the beer-belly!


5. Coffee is the main source of caffeine
   Friends have often told me that they quit drinking coffee for the sake of their hearts. Little did they know that the can of pop in their hands has caffeine, too! Caffeine is widely found in tea and canned drinks. Some drinks, such as Jolt and Red Bull, contain as much caffeine as coffee!
   
   In general, there is no harm to your health if you drink coffee in small to moderate amounts. However, it is advised that people with high blood pressure and pregnant women limit their caffeine consumption.

Interview from Mother & Baby magazine

The interview called from Joy last month talking about blogger mummy is out on Mother & Baby November issue. Although the part mentioning about my blog is not much, but that is good enough to let other readers know about my blog existence in the blogsphere. Today I only manage to grab it and read on for the rest.

A few of those blogger mummy that I know also being featured here like Lilian, Chinneeq, jazzmint, Karen Yiau and some other blogs which I not come across like Shamira Karim, Mummy Lian and Leah.

This blogger mummy article is the hot topic for this magazine issue. Talking about nowadays mummies are stay connected to the social network through blogging in exchanging ideas and to keep us update about what's happening in the society. It promoted that blogging is also another way to release stress of motherhood and a place helps to ease burden. Very happy that nowadays blogger mummies are being so encouraging and the mummies blog post is so informative.

Trim and treatment

Since CNY I have a soft curly and hi-lite hair, after that round, I never went to saloon to trim or wash. 10 months of own washing and manage, the soft curly is gone and I also never bother to do anything on it. Thinking of change my hair style too, but don't what looks good on me.

Since there are many wedding dinner to attend, last week have thought of wanted to go for a total change of hair style. But due to lack of time, I just went to did a simple trim and treatment. Since the curly have straighten so much, it makes my hair grow thick at the back and I feel hot especially when sleeping. I did a layered trim from the fridge and do a treatment too. My hair goes so bad before the treatment done, when its comb it get knot a lot.

After the cut, wash and treatment done, voila! my hair goes so soft and straight. I still prefer straight hair then curly hair as I like to comb my hair. During the days I'm having curly hair, I just feel not comfortable without combing it. After all I will still goes for curly as I find it more suit my face shape.

Handphone hazard

Most of us have handphone and most of the time we talk on the handphone. Long conversation on handphone not only kill our brain cells, it will cause pain in our eardrum and sometimes we will feel a bit headache too. The pain is causes by the mobile electromagnet radiation from the transmission frequency. Below is another good example show how bad the radiation produced when you talk long on your handphone.

1 Egg & 2 Mobiles
65 minutes of connection between mobiles.
Initiated the call between the two mobiles and allowed 65 minutes approximately...
During the first 15 minutes nothing happened;
25 minutes later the egg started getting hot;
45 minutes later the egg is hot;
65 minutes later the egg is cooked.


A research report shows that using a mobile phone for more than 10 years increases the risk of getting brain cancer. So do bear in mind on this for the sake of your own health and remember not to talk more than 15 minutes using mobile phone.

Genting founder passed away

Tan Sri Lim Goh Tong, founder and honorary life president of Genting Group, passed away at 11.20am Tuesday at the Subang Jaya Medical Centre.

The tycoon, who turned 90 in April this year, was renowned for his vision in transforming Genting Highlands from an unexplored hilltop to one of the world's most successful casino resorts.

The fifth child in a family of seven children, Lim migrated from China's Fujian province in 1937 at the age of 19 with only a small suitcase and US$175.

The idea of a hill resort was chanced upon by Lim amidst the crisp air of Cameron Highlands in 1964. Lim was then working on a hydro-electric power project at the popular hill resort, patronized mostly by British colonials seeking cool refuge from the tropical heat, when he foresaw a prosperous Malaysia of the future desiring a cool mountain holiday resort within the reach of all Malaysians.

To date, Genting Highlands Resort has five hotels and two apartment blocks at the hilltop and Awana Genting Highlands Golf and Country Resort.

The company, founded in 1965, has since expanded and diversified from its initial hotel and resort activities to plantations, properties, paper manufacturing, power generation, oil and gas, electronic commerce and information technology development under Genting Group.

According to Forbes Asia, the Genting Group founder was third richest in the country with a net worth of US$4.3bil (RM14.6bil).

Lim is survived by wife Puan Sri Lee Kim Hua, and their six children and 19 grandchildren.

Food sanitizer

This is the machine my mum have used for many years. Since after having Terry, I started to used when I cooked at home. It used to cleans and sterilize the meats and vegetables, so that we not cook and eat up many chemicals in food. When foods bought back from market, I will wash and sterilized it, then only keep it in the fridge.

This ozone ionizer helps to generate ozone oxygen to purified the food. When the ozone contact with water, it able to break down residual traces of toxic agriculture chemicals and pathogens on meats, fruits and vegetables. It destroys disease-causing bacteria and viruses and other harmful chemicals in the process of growing and packaging food.

It is very easy to use, fill tap water cover up the pre-washed meats or vege and on the power. Place the ozone dispersion stone into the water which connect with the tube from the machine. Within a few minutes the foods will be 99.9% clean from harmful contaminants. It enhance the food taste and preserve freshness. The colour and texture of the meats makes difference too after sanitize. Not only used on food, you can make your own purified water to water plants, household use and also on personal use for facial, foot/mouth disease and etc.

In the middle of cleaning the pork and chicken meat. The dispersion stone generate ozone oxygen and runs in the water. It creates bubbles, which is actually those oxygen molecule oxidizes the particle. Bubbles mixed with a white/grayish sticky substance started to form a ring on the water's surface.
Cleaning done. Thats the amount of white/grayish I get. The texture is like mucus. Sometimes it is more, especially seafoods. The more the sticky substance it shows means the food having lots of contaminants.
Closed up view. The white thing is not fat. It turns black when it contact with fire burn.

Here, I found the sanitizer from eBay (I'm not trying to promote the product from this seller, just show a sample). It is much more cheaper than my unit. Other than meats and vege, I do clean the rice also and there are contaminants too. After food being purified, meats and vege no longer need to soak in salt water or tap water. You may not know that, actually soaking the vege and food will wash away lots of the minerals and vitamins in the food. For the sake of family health, it is worth to get one. After all foods are now very dirty and lots of chemical used in growing and planting process.

Terry attempt to walk more

Terry mabuk walk in action. That day, after back from cousin's house gathering, he started to walk more at home and the distance is far than usual. From 3 steps improved to now 6-7 steps. Fall for many times, but he still ok, hold to get up and walk with support again. He can't fully go unsupported all time yet. Only sometime he left and walk unsupported.

Baby, today you are 17 months old...Well done, mummy is happy to see you walk.

A day at cousin's house

Yesterday my aunt from Ipoh came to KL. So as usual, those KL aunties will gather at my cousin's house to have gathering. My mum brought me and Terry over for the gathering too. They brought over some nice Ipoh tau-geh, chicken, own plant vege and lala for dinner.

We reach there after our lunch around 2.45pm. Almost 1 hour from my place to Kota Damansara. At first I thought to go for have a quick shop at 1 Utama, but since the time is late when we reach, so I cancel it. We chit-chatted and play with the my niece and nephew. Terry boy also busy hold and walk around, digging stuff and open drawers. I just let him play with them, follow them in out...just be sure the cabinet and places doesn't have things that can hurt him. Should be not la..coz my cousin have a hyperactive kid too.

Around 4.30pm, I changed him then take a nap with him. In 20 minutes time he doze off without making any fuss and sleep for 2 hours after I finished my dinner. Again everyone around praise him that he can play alone, take the "sang-bou" bed and sleep long too. As he plays around with kids, he shows improvement in walking. He able to take few more steps unsupported and walking distance is far than usual too.

Around 7.30pm, we went home.

16 months old

Weight: 11.8kg

Again I'm late for this round update. Tomorrow he will turn 17 months. Here is a quick update of my little boy achievements.

• The biggest achievement around 16 months 1.5 weeks old, he begin to walk unsupported. He will hold on table, bar or wall, get balance by himself first then he will walk towards the direction that face in front of him with hand widely open. As he walk to the front, we got to ready to hug and support him.
  
  


• Still on knee crawling most of the time. If his hand hold on something, he will go army crawl.
  
• His turn to hold my hand and do actions like clapping, "dim choong choong", peek-a-poo, and feed us makan with spoon.
• Started to eat baby biscuit (baby bites) for the very first time. He hold and chew the pieces all by himself. Before this I never give any teething biscuit or baby biscuit to him, as he will hold and throw away. When ask for his food, he willing to share it.
  
• He enjoy his food very much. After the spoon leave his mouth with food, he will say "mmm...".
• Food consumption still remain. 3 times milk (6-7 oz) and 2 times porridge. He don't like to chew food, always used to swallow. I still reluctant to start rice and soup feed.
• Love the cartoon of Elmo's world, Little Einstein (did the pat-pat), Mickey Mouse club house and Pocoyo. Once he watch on these titles he will giggle and won't make any moves. I watched these cartoons with him everyday and now I can read to him the conversation of the Little Einstein (the part when they got a mission) and a bit from Danny and Daddy (the funny 5 mins cartoon talking in baby language).
• Sit on a board, placed cross over the arm chair to have hair cut. He won't dare to move an inch and just cry when the hair trimmer and scissor working. I just stand beside and hold one of his hand. Overall no big fuss, just cry very pity with tears and mucus.
• He won't cry long if fall or I scold, once distract his crying with something he will stop immediately. Sometime after I scold or beat, I don't bother to stop his cry too and he will stop by himself after I walk away.
• He able to stay quiet to sit on the baby high chair while we eat out, to about 1 hour. Just give him something to play (most of the time small plate and spoon) and feed him whatever he can eat from the table. He will then take him spoon and pretend to eat there, bite the spoon or try to feed us.
• He able to show the things I asked for with eye contact, like when I asked where is mummy cooking (he will look at the kitchen), where bobo (I call my boy "bo-bo") take bath and poo-poo (he will look at bedroom), where is on/off the fan (he will look at the switches), where is bobo car (he will look at his push car), where is bobo stroller go kai-kai (he will crawl to it), where is shoe (look at it). Almost he can get all correct and understand the objects. Looks like I should start on flash card to help him learn more.
• Like to sleep with stomach and face facing down. Got to put him back into lying position after he sleep soundly.
• When ask him to kiss, he will do it once if he like. No repeated one if ask again, he will push your face away.
• At my mum's place he will go to the kitchen area and open/close cabinets and fridge door, no ransacking, just open and close. At own home, he will stop to go about once reach the floor side of the kitchen area. He won't dare to go one step down to the kitchen area. So I still doesn't need a safety gate yet.
• He will call out "be-be" whenever he see babies on TV, bear on shirt, Mickey mouse on the drinking cup and etc..
• When he saw we talk on phone, handphone or those TV showing ppl talking on the phone, he will say "Hello". He call it out as "Ah Oooo..." very long drag the Ooo..and put his hand beside the ear.
  
• When he saw us carrying plastic bag, he will say "mum-mum".
• When he saw us writing, he also want a piece of paper and pen too. Give pen and magazine, he don't want magazine, insist to get a paper.
• Continue to update....later..

Problem with Paypal payment

I just notice recently that my Smorty payment history is not telly with payment accept in Paypal. First I thought was Smorty didn't make the payment. I did do a Paypal history data export and do cross checking with Smorty payment history side by side. I found that there are 2 transactions, which Smorty have paid me and Paypal didn't pay me.

Immediately I email the Smorty support and tell them the case. They make clarification that they have make the payment out on specific date and they did received verification from Paypal that they have delivered the payment to me. But in actual I don't even received any email on the 2 particular date about the payment made. If I have accept the funds or goes auto accept, sure it will be display in the Paypal history. After searching high low, confirm that I couldn't found any from Paypal history.

Now problem must goes to Paypal, I still waiting whatever verification code ID that Smorty have, to prove that they have send the fund out to them, which happen that they not debited into my account. Else I don't know how to explain to them that I didn't received the pay. That 2 transaction amount is USD30. Finger cross that I can get it back.

Lately problem with Paypal again as advertiser have issued the payment and we are getting our fund late.

Fuel saving tips

We know that our petroleum price is keep on rise and rise and our pocket is getting dry to buy petrol for our vehicle. Here are some petrol saving tips, hope you can benefits from it and save down on petrol in your daily routine. Even it is not much, but in the long run you it will makes the difference.

1. Fill up your car or truck in the morning when the temperature is still cool. Remember that all service stations have their storage tanks buried below ground; and the colder the ground, the denser the gasoline. When it gets warmer gasoline expands, so if you're filling up in the afternoon or in the evening, what should be a gallon is not exactly a gallon. In the petroleum business, the specific gravity and temperature of the fuel (gasoline, diesel, jet fuel, ethanol and other petroleum products) are significant. Every truckload that we load is temperature-compensated so that the indicated 'gallons' is actually the amount pumped. A one-degree rise in temperature is a big deal for businesses, but service stations don't have temperature compensation at their pumps.


2. If a tanker truck is filling the station's tank at the time you want to buy gas, do not fill up; most likely dirt and sludge in the tank is being stirred up when gas is being delivered, and you might be transferring that dirt from the bottom of their tank into your car's tank.


3. Fill up when your gas tank is half-full (or half-empty), because the more gas you have in your tank the less air there is and gasoline evaporates rapidly, especially when it's warm. (Gasoline storage tanks have an internal floating 'roof' membrane to act as a barrier between the gas and the atmosphere, thereby minimizing evaporation).


4. If you look at the trigger you'll see that it has three delivery settings: slow, medium and high. When you're filling up do not squeeze the trigger of the nozzle to the high setting. You should be pumping at the slow setting, thereby minimizing vapors created while you are pumping. Hoses at the pump are corrugated; the corrugations act as a return path for vapor recovery from gas that already has been metered. If you are pumping at the high setting, the agitated gasoline contains more vapor which is being sucked back into the underground tank, so you're getting less gas for your money.

Hope this will help ease your 'pain at the pump'!

Something extra, I did read before somewhere said that vehicle in black color are tend to burns off petrol faster.

Plan for Raya Holidays

Starts from tomorrow, there will be at least 3 days holiday in a row. I'm just looking forward for it very much as we can spend some quality family time together. Of cause, I will be off cooking and my kitchen will be on holiday too. Just craving to eat outside now.

Since my mum will off for the whole week long, she will help me to buy food from the market tomorrow morning. My brother have been planning to have dim sum breakfast on Saturday morning with us. So long I didn't have this already...later of the day, I don't have plan already. Shopping mall think will close on the 1st day of Raya. If not, wanted to bring Terry out to look around.

Hopefully hubby have some plan for us, else he can sleep the whole day then we will be boring close up in the house.

Go for own domain

Go for own domain

I have been so struggle and reluctant to get an own domain for blogging since many months ago. As I know I would be spending more time in manage it and at the same time at Blogspot too. I just don't want to waste the time and money if I couldn't do so. This is a long run decision for me. No point if one day I longer like to blog and just abandon it, it going to waste all my effort.

The urge of getting it is becoming so strong lately. Everywhere is talking about getting own domain and shifting to own domain. Somehow I know one day, for those doing paid post we no longer can sustain for long under Blogspot. For doing paid post in own domain, I can see the brighter future.

Just 2 days ago, I saw my PR meter reading from PR 3 drop to 2, how can that be leh?? My blog is doing better than before. I don't know where goes wrong. Check everywhere is reading as 2 now..but tigaP still not change. Hmm..I can't do anything for it, that is how Google ranked me. Once Beelibaala found out from Google why there are many Blogspot is getting a N/A rank. It is because Google will not going to give any review on PR ranking for new bloggers sign up with free blog hosting site (like Blogspot). Another one is from LovelyMummy, this piece of news still not so sure yet..tigaP will kick out all Blogspot postie in November. Soon or later free host will not be favor in the blogging world. So I think it is the time now.

I have been start searching some web hosting packages info and try to make some comparison. Prices are vary depends on what are the things the hosting company include for you. Today I even found free hosting blog from benghan. Somehow it is quite attracted to me..coz FREE ma..just only need to pay domain registration fee. Most important is getting a domain registration done first, hosting package are yet to choose.

I'm start thinking a domain name now and I have no idea what name to give. Will stick to go on a .com at the back. Basically I just check out that judychow.com is taken, left only with other extension. Lemonjude, judelittle, judethelittle is fully available. I have also think of some other names like livetolove and littleme but all are not available anymore. Many others too, but all those I can think of is no longer available for .com. Any good suggestion? Hopefully I can fully roll out everything on 1/1/2008, don't know possible or not.

A question to answer

Mummy-in-vain give me a question and wants my answer.

Q: Would you choose to be a man or a woman in your next reborn?
A: I still prefer to be a woman. For having all the privilege that they man doesn't have. I think woman can live longer than men.

My turn to ask a question. "If man given an opportunity to give birth to a baby, do you want to try?". Seanlel and PapaJoneh, let me know how you think... ;)

Paypal withdraw with Debit card

All the while since I'm start to cash out money from Paypal, I did it through Bryan. It is the fastest and easiest way to deal with money directly bank into my local bank. Doing withdrawal with them there is some bank transfer charges occur which is quite high too (like 3.4%+0.30 or 4.5%, depending what type of account).

I still looking for a way to do my own cash out as can't depends on other to do for me in long run. Some used VMI which is virtual debit card and they complain that it needs charges each month. Many got it, but not using it. Cash out the money using credit card is also another way which we can do all the while. But the charges when you withdraw is high like 5% from Citibank. So the cash out seems like losing here and there with all the bank charges going through.


Now is the time you can eliminates all those charges. After I got to know from her, we can cash out Paypal money directly to Visa Debit/credit card. This is the new withdrawal feature in Paypal, which only charge USD5 for the fund transfer. Since credit card need charges on withdrawal, we can get Visa Debit card from local bank to do it.

Public Bank is offering Visa Electron card. The annual fee is RM24 and waived for cash withdrawal from Public Bank ATM. It is just a very good news to us. With only $5 charges we can get our USD back in MYR just as easy as that.

I got the bag

Finally I got the "I'm Not A Plastic bag" from eBay bid. This the cheapest non-authentic bag I can get which almost same like original. It takes me sometime to decide whether want to buy a real or fake. After reading this review on how to check the real and fake bag, I know I shouldn't go for an authentic one. Sellers on eBay who having the real one is at least making 6 times or more profits, which the original price at US only $15 per bag. Also, couldn't tell it is real or fake based on picture only. They might end up sending a fake one too. So I might as well not take the big risk, buy one almost the same to play play la...

Some real bag seller couldn't stand the fake bag seller and they keep on coming out some reviews and complain how the fake bag seller cheat and ask the buyer not to buy from them (even mention which seller). Some huge fake bag seller force to close shop too. After I browse detail on all from eBay (even on eBay.my) and some shopping website, I can tell that 99% Anya Hindmarch "I'm Not A Plastic bag" selling is fake one. This bag really rock the fashion market. I even found the wholesaler, once this ad pop up in my Google adsense. They are selling this bag on bulk for each $7.99 only, made in Beijing, China. They specially make all branded things into imitation. There are many thousands of product produced from them with low low price, quality don't know la.... you can check yourself. Some eBay seller is buying from them too, based on the product picture they post.

Finally I decided to buy from this seller in Hong Kong. He is selling a fake bag which almost looks like an authentic one with reasonable price and shipping fee. After many round checking on his profile and read comments leave by buyers, I know buying from him probably will not leaving any good experience too, dare to take the risk >:) I got back a little bit confidence after I email and ask the buyers who deal with him before and they have make assurance to me. After that only I take the bid.

From the item description and picture, he claimed that he is selling a 100% authentic bag (everyone say so, even they sell a fake one) with copy of original receipt, which it shows he has bought 2 pcs from Anya Hindmarch Store in HK. Yes, I can believe all is real one. For the sake of buying it to take a photo to show the world maybe. In actual in his store he is selling don't how many bags and now you call tell is he still selling the real bag? Photocopy of receipt and send together with the fake bag is what he does. He don't even bother to reply any emails on asking about the bag and also not leaving any comment to buyers.

He putting all his bags for bid with a price starting at $14.99. I didn't play on the bid amount, just wait till it almost elapse on bidding time, enter the same price as it is and I won it. After I won the bid and email him, I still need to wait for like 3 days only get his first reply on how to make payment. Sounds not keen to deal business or business too good? not sure la...After one week communication on payment and confirmed he got the money, finally he shipped out my bag. I got it for $39.99 including shipping fee. Please don't try to convert it into MYR, I know it is pretty expensive for a fake bag. Since, I'm paying it with my earning in Paypal and within my USD budget. When I got this bag on hand, I still satisfied la...

I continue to check on the same bags on eBay, see hows the trend moving on. Those fake quality like mine is still available but all are higher price. What I found is, there are many "I'm Not.." is coming up. Just see yourself what is that.

	Out of original shape

This is worst!

(I think this is created by someone who hates A.H. bag)

Restaurant Kampung Ah Soh @ Bandar Puteri

It has been long I'm not dine out with my family. I have been asking my family to go dine at Bandar Puteri for many times, as I read a lot of blog saying there are many good restaurant around there and we stay so near there also never been. You see, we Malaysian got that habit, those places near our place one, we don't go. We like to go far far away once ppl recommended is good..

Last Sunday, finally I able to drag them to go. Only mum, bro and me. All of us first time there, don't know which is good. We out of the house before the sky turn dark so we got enough time to scan the restaurant one by one. We went over to those shop lots opposite Giant first. I saw shops are familiar to me, coz I read from blog before where ppl post about it. Later went over to the Giant side and browsing on more restaurants. I just up to them to choose which one they want to dine in, cause this time I'm going to belanja them. They not use to dine at good restaurant, especially those with nice and comfy interior one, coz they said is pricy with normal dishes... that why is hard for them to choose.

Finally after 35 minutes round n round, going to pening, my mum decided to eat here - Restaurant Kampung Ah Soh (农圃食家), it is one of the shop behind Citibank and OCBC Bank.

From the time we get out the house, Terry was fully awake and stomach full. So he is no problem playing by himself with spoon and small plate. He just suddenly want it so badly till we can't touch it and can't leave it in the car while we get down.

So, we got to bring it along. Thats the only thing occupy him throughout our dinner. By giving him some rice, he plays with it and rice stick all over his 2 little palm. Who cares la, as long as he not disturb us and want us to carry. We head home after that as this lil boy started to get cranky and cry right after we finished the dinner. Probably he is getting tired and wanted to have another nap. Right after bath him, he dose off immediately.

You see how much he likes it.

Tips for Shopping

~ Start copy ~

It’s very simple. When you receive this tag, copy the whole list and add your own shopping tip to the bottom and pass it on.

1. Wear comfy clothing when you’re shopping. You don’t wanna fuss with too many laces and buttons when you’re trying clothes on. http://rinnah-marketplace.blogspot.com

2. Choose stores offering some kind of reward program, e.g. purchase points, rebates or store coupons. Knowing how the program works and when to use them will save you a lot of money in the long run. http://kakishopping.giddytigers.com

3. When buying pants or jeans, try to try them on with a pair of heels so you know its the right length. If you don’t and wear it with heels later, you might find that it hangs at an awkward length. http://www.all-aboutshopping.com

4. We are always lure to buy the latest lipstick colour in town. Before you respond to magazine’s review and recommendation, make sure you try on the colour and walk around for a while before deciding to purchase it. Lipstick colour looks different when it’s absorbed on the lips and lightings can alter the way you look too. This will avoid buying a lipstick that doesn’t look so great on you afterall http://www.dorisgoshopping.com

5. Don’t buy bras just before your period! I have big boobs just before period and the boobs deflated after my period, making the bra looks ‘unfull-filled’ Same thing with buying shoes in the evening. Your feet are bigger in the evening. Women Only!

6. If you're planning to buy heels, avoid wearing sports shoes or covered shoes. You'll spend more time removing and putting them back on everytime you try on a new pair of heels. Sasha's TagsnSuch

7. Always request for a new piece on items like cloth, bag or shoe to avoid in getting them in condition like broken, loose, stain or loose parts with many tried from different people. If you like the piece very much happen to be last pair then you got to check really carefully. Lemonjude - Memoirs.:*CRoSs mY hEARt*:.

Truth of Truth

Mummy-in-vain send this to me. This tag is kinda special and need to think one..nowadays tag posts become more and more challenging. This tag you need to create your own questions (8 some more originally) which people shouldn't ask or questions I hate and get tired answering.

1. Why you become SAHM, go to work since you so young...
   Who don't know? I also want to work but hubby ask to stay at home. Doesn't like it at first. But now I got my blogging job although earning little. I like the freedom at home and at the same time can accompany my growing baby. When son grows up anytime can back to work, but the precious moment spend with him since baby, the time couldn't turn back and priceless.
   


2. You pregnant again ah??
   Why so gan cheong, I still young I don't rush to get a second one. I know I got a flabby tummy. Mind you, who doesn't after give birth, a bit must have. I don't have Marie Claire to take care of my tummy part.
   


3. Siew-lai-lai life so enjoy hor??
   Provided with a maid, got ppl help me take care of kid and I so free to do whatever I like. That more suitable for the title. As for SAHM siew lai lai worr.. busy then you work in office. No one take your turn to look after your baby. Go where also have to consider the small one first.
   


4. Where you put this and that?
   I'm the house things memory database, once you put there forever I can remember the things is there. Anything lost or forget ask me where I put.


5. Why don't you drive?

6. Terry so big already still cannot walk, he is so big size...
   Can I control that? all baby are different. God doesn't make you and me the same too.


7. Why you no bringing your husband to church?
   I can't do anything if he is not willing to go. I just let God take place and show miracle on him. I hope he can see God's grace through Terry.

How to fake curry chicken

Curry chicken is one of my favorite dish for dinner. I cooked it in a very simple way and fast too. It minus curry leave, coconut milk (santan) and serai. A good 30 minutes can cook a complete dinner with this curry chicken and a stir fried vege served with white rice for 2 persons.

Ingredients:-
2 drumsticks, cut into small pieces
2 gloves garlic, chop fine
3 small onion, chop fine
3 table spoon curry chicken powder
1 table spoon salt
1.5 table spoon soya sauce

Cooking steps:-

1. Marinate the chicken preferable 1-2 hours before cook with salt, soya sauce and curry powder. Store it back to the refrigerator. I'm using Baba's curry powder for chicken meat.
   
2. Heat the wok with oil, add in garlic and small onion and cooked until it start to fragrant.
3. Pour in the marinated chicken and cook till all well. No need to add other ingredient for taste.
4. Pour in adequate water with lid close and slow cook it (braise) for 15 minutes.

Simple and easy right? Don't expect that the taste you getting like you go for a good complete curry chicken with all proper ingredients. This is when you run out of time you can still make a quick curry chicken. Optional, you can also add in potato cube.

Tonight, another simple dinner I'm going to do - stew pork and vege soup (bottle gourd + carrot). No need to heat my wok, less hassle!
