Goat in year of Rat

Received an email talking about some general feng shui during 2008 the year of Rat and also some detail one on each chinese zodiac sign. Although I'm not so believe on what it tells, but no harm reading it. Here is what it says on me.

General
This is a fantastic year for those who are born in the year of the Goat. This is the time to implement your plans and to reap the fruits of labor that you have sowed. You will get the support and assistance from the relevant people easily. Though your luck is generally extremely good this year, remember to stay humble and always have contingency plans because there are many sudden crises too. Do not let arrogance get in your way. There are signs of legal problems this year too. Hence, avoid any illegal activities. Though you will be able to cope with the obstacles that arise this year, do not attempt to push your luck. Do tread with caution too.

Career
Your career luck is very good. This is a good time to shine at work. You will get support from your authority figures such as your boss or the management. If you are in business, you will get the support of your clients and your business will do very well this year. Remember that while you prosper, always make contingency plans and expand conservatively. This year, there tends to be sudden incidents that may cause problems. You do not want to be caught off guard by it.

Wealth
This is a good year in terms of wealth. If you are investing, choose something that will grow steadily. If you are in business, allow your business to grow gradually. Do not rush into things. How good you are at conserving your wealth also depends on how well you are able to avoid legal situations.

Relationship
There might be more quarrels or disputes between those who are already in relationships, as there will more frustration this year due to stress. Be more patient and it is more important to communicate. It is much more difficult than in previous years for those who are single to find the right partner. For those who are single there will be more concern about the stress caused by other aspects of life.

Health
Be careful of illnesses that strike suddenly, for example, heart attacks and strokes. You are more accident prone than usual. Do not engage in any high-risk activities. This year, it is important to follow traffic rules carefully and not to exchange conveniences with regrets. If you are driving, ensure that you have adequate rest.

People
There are more betrayals or back-stabbings this year. Some people may be jealous of your success and decide to make life difficult for you. Do be aware of this and remain humble and polite.

Funny sarcastic joke

(I)
Hubby: Wow, how come you buy this expensive bra? Looks that you doesn't have a nice boob.
Wife: Well, if according to that, then you can save down the money to buy your men's underwear!
Hubby: .....

(II)
The wife is standing on the weighting scale.
"Dear, come and see I have lost weight of 2kg."
"Dear, that because you didn't put up your make up." Hubby replied.

(III)
Son: Mum, why you grow white hair?
Mum: Because you always make me angry and this is how the white hair can grow.
Son: Then, those white hairs on grandma must caused by you?
Mum: *speechless*

(IV)

Just a SIMPLE life (Part II)

The kid says to his mum, "Mummy, today you are very beautiful."
"Why?" Mum replied.
"Because mummy is not angry today." the kid's reply.
> It is just so easy to get pretty, just not to get angry. <


There is a farmer having his kid to work hard in the farm. A friend told the farmer, "You doesn't need to make your kid to work so hard there, the crops will still grow in a good conditions."
The farmer replied, "No, I'm not cultivate the crops, I just training up my kid."
> It is just so simple to breed your kid, just let them endure some hardship. <

Avent teats

Since very very long time ago I was looking for Avent fast flow teat (No. 4) to change the set which have used for long. I check everywhere at departmental store like Jusco and Isetan and some other babycare outlet, I just couldn't locate any of that. All only selling newborn teats. Others bigger teats are not available. During that time I'm not bother to ask why it is not selling. I was try my best to check for it everytime during my shopping.

Last Sunday in Jusco I finally ask a sales girl for Avent how come bigger teats no stock for so long. She gave me a reply said she also not sure the reason why it is out of stock. Is kinda not professional at all for not knowing the products well. So, I not bother what she told me, until 2 days ago, I finally found it at Mothercare, Mid Valley. Quickly I bought it with or without discount.

There I saw many stock for 6 months+ and for variable flows teat. Only lack of teats no. 3 only. The different I saw is the distributor is not Kinderdjik anymore, it is under Philip now. The old pair of teats is already 9 months old. Can image how long I have used it, for just couldn't get it to change.

More to write

Since last week I have 2 good paying offers from RM. But due to 300 words, I was so relunctant to write. It was really like it and hate it. Like the money, but not that 300 words long and the title offering. At last, I let go of it. It is $7.50 and $10.

Tuesday holiday, whole day I was in shopping mall and I don't even have time to on my computer. Foresee I must have missing out some companies offers. Don't care la, shop first hehe...I even cash out a little using my Visa Debit card, since I have not touch any since doing own Paypal withdrawal. So syiok! can buy the things I want.

Yesterday, back to normal. Start scouting offers again everywhere. To my surprise when I login to BGT I saw 2 new offers, quickly I hit and inform others to do so. I keep on Refresh the offer page and new offers keeps popping. For that 1 hour more, I successfully grab 7 new offers. All got to be complete within 48 hours plus 2 own posts in between. Up to now, I only managed to complete 3 offers. 4 more to go with own interim somemore, left with 24 hours. Offer is easy to complete but interim post is a lot there. Looks like today got to have more posts publishing...

Not to bla anymore continue my work first...

Just a SIMPLE life (Part I)

Once this person went for an interview. As he walked by the corridor, he picked up the waste paper and rubbish along the way and throw it into dustbin. So happen that the interviewer saw he did that. Hence, he got the job.

> It is just so easy to go beyond, just suffer the little losses. <

Another round Christmas shopping

Since last Sunday, I left some Christmas gift to complete the list, so Tuesday (Selangor holiday) I went again to MV and shop crazily. Hubby is off so he willing to stay at home and take care the small boy.

Early in the morning I prepared everything, cook porridge to both of them, then at 10.30am hubby send me to shopping. That day also the longest hours hub stay at home with my boy, whereby it between 2 rounds meal time to my boy. Reach MV rounghly around 11.30am, quickly look throught my list and walk to the shop that I want to get things from.

There is always no fail I will pay a visit to my ex-colleague when I'm there and of cause that got to be the during office hours in working day. Many of them so happy to met me again. During lunch time, I look for Amidrin. That's really my luxury time can have lunch with her. The feeling was so nice again it was like last time when we both go lunch together. We took our lunch at Prince Café and we chatted non-stop. Really time is like not enough, when there is something good happen. There are so much of things we want to update each other. In the 1 hour plus, We only manage to finish our lunch and walk a little while, then Amidrin got to back to work. So I shop alone after she goes off.

I continue to shop and shop and bought a full bag of things. Really so nice can shop peacefully and walk where I want. I didn't went over to The Gardens, since nothing much I afforded from there. Finally, after 3 hours plus shop I got myself a dress, all the Christmas gifts and jeans pant to my boy. I still got things to buy for myself..like shoe and purse. Will try to go shop again for those. Plan to get everything done in this December sales shopping for CNY clothes too.

OMG, the strip fall off...sei for la..I shout to my friend, sei la sei la..my shoe spoilt how to walk. It is 7.30pm already. My dear friend - Yan, quickly calm me down and said don't be so scared come come, I got shoe in my car, what size is your feet, don't mind wearing mine? I would say if you having slipper also I will take it. I'm wearing size 5, just nice she having that. She keep 2-3 pairs of shoe in her back seat, she grab one for me and I wear it on. Then, quickly walk to the restaurant. Really really thank God for having her. Imagine, hubby sent me there, shoe broken, nearby no shoe shops, hubby car no shoe for me...I would rather go home la..

Luckily I was in SS2, even if there is no shoe in Yan's car, I think I still can easily shop one from there. After a freaking moment, I sat down peacefully in the dinner hall. Actually me and Yan also need to quiet down as she also come in a rush after a tiring roadshow. She almost over slept during her nap, almost forget to pack the ang pau and wearing a wrong dinner dress, whereby it will 'zhao kong' when slightly bend to take dishes, coz she thought her bf is with her for the night and he can serve her. She totally forget that her bf is not turn up with her... so clumsy when we are in rush. While trying to settle down, I told Yan, ei..I forget to wear my earring la... *slap head..

Talk about my heel. I like this heel a lot till the extend that I clean/wash it everytime after wearing it and put back nicely in the shoe box, wrap up with the shoe cloth too. I only wear this heel when I went clubbing (yeah, wear 3 inches to dance and shake back in those days) or dinner. This shoe is with me back in 3 years ago, bought from Vincci. Recently the shoe heel cap broken at one side, I even send to the cobbler to repair it. So wasted if throw away and since I like it very much, just try to save till the last. Good that, I still able to wear twice after that. It is so hard to find a pair of shoe that I like. Overall the shoe surface and bottom is still quite clean and new, it is no scratch at the heel bar yet! I have tried to shop for a new one soemthing like that, but all I come across one is not that I like (very yim jim hor?). Now since the strip fall off, the heel pad also looks broken and I check everywhere also looks like almost start to loose too, especially the strips. I think is time to say bye-bye to this heel. *sob-sob*

Christmas shopping

Yesterday I skipped church also missed baby Joshua fullmoon party as I told hubby we want to shop for Christmas. Packed Terry's porridge then we go and reach Mid Valley at around 12pm. Still manage to get a car park easily at The Gardens there, but it is so full at Megamall.

I foresee drama of cranky will happen as Terry not having any nap since wake up in the morning. When I put him down to walk he just don't want. Stroller stop he make noise, carry him to walk and stop by he make noise. So on and off stroller sit a while and carry a while. While hubby looking for trousers, he begin to warm up and get active. He walks here and there, round and round, make fun with promoters and poke those items that he can reach. I just follow him for not knocking down the things around and faster pull him off if he touches on anything. He only get quiet down when I feed him porridge while waiting hubby to finish his shop. He still not get tired, we proceed to Isetan. My turn to get my things. We walk separately, hubby bought him away without stroller and I shop with the stroller.

Try on some dresses but non of that suit my taste..I just so hate my body shape. I need to fit in L size now. Nice dresses looks kinda big, nothing good when put on. Hubby was at Men's dept and plan to look for something. But since he carry Terry, he not able to stop by and have a look. And the small boy he don't want to carry, so just let him down to walk. He begin to open drawers and walk by his own, not even want hubby to hold him. Bring him to kids playroom, he even fight for toys with other kids.

After around 1 hour, I got nothing and start looking for hubby, can't even get to call him. Isetan no line inside..so I wait at outside. Finally met them and I can see my hubby face is so tired handling him. A quick one hubby when to Men's dept and shop away 2 shirts. So I got to be the follower again. My boy again non-stop walking and rounding. He try to poke and wanted to take those expensive Men's fragance on the shelf..I faster carry him away. I no money to pay that if broken.

Then we proceed to Megamall. Finally Terry feel tired, that almost 3pm. He not even want to make more moves in the stroller already, totally exhausted. Daddy and mummy too. So we just stroll slowly walking towards Megamall in hope that he can fall a sleep in the moving stroller. Finally, he did. We get so relieved after that. It was sooooo pack in Megamall. Really hard to make a quick move. Christmas decoration is yucks there. Like a jungle, the worst one ever. We don't even take a lunch and continue to shop. Since it is so pack and Terry is sleep. So hubby sit a side and wait for me to shop at Jusco.

Since I have a list with me, mostly shop for Christmas gift for family. So I just walk to the related place to choose it, then queue up in the long cashier to pay. It is quite fast 1 hour plus, I'm done. Now only left 2-3 items more to complete the list. Terry manage to nap for 2 hours in the stroller while waiting me to shop.

It is a real hectic 5 hours spending there. With a small kid to shop is really tiring and exhausted...I don't know where I got the energy to walk and chasing with only having 3 pieces of bread and milk in the morning and last till around 5.30pm. Quickly we pack something back home to eat after leaving Megamall. I got to speed up as I got wedding dinner to attend. I was so so tired and hungry. Once reach home, shower Terry, wallop the food, bath myself, feed Terry, make up and rush out the house. My friend is downstair waiting me to go dinner.

Reach Tai Thong Restaurant in SS2 at 7.30pm with a slight rain drops. Hubby and boy stay at home. There was something happen before the wedding dinner, stay tune!

Photo Hunters: Long

2 years ago during my trip to Beijing, I'm so proud that I can step on the the world's longest human-made structure - The Great Wall of China. It is just so amazing the work and architecture in the past centuries.

The Great Wall of China stretching over more than 4,000 miles across North China. It is the only largest man-made structure that can be seen from the moon with the naked eye. It was built, rebuilt, and maintained between the 5th century BC and the 16th century.

Spot me?

More things he can do

@ 18 months, 2 weeks old

This week is better, Terry can finally sleep early at 11.30pm. Think he have pass the over excitement days of walking here and there. Since after he able to walk by himself, he is more brush up on some skills.

First, I make him to throw his own diapers. I would say "throw" and he will reach out his hand tp make the throwing action. Somedays, if he refuse to let me change, I will say comes lets throw diaper. Then, he will stay quiet and let me pull down his pant and change. After changing, he will hold his heavy weight diaper in both hand happily, walk to the kitchen, stretch out his both hands and leave down the diaper slowly into the dustbin. Then, he will give me a satisfaction smile and happy that he can did it.

Secondly, I instruct him to put back the things he digged out. Previously, he will just leave it there and run away. Now, I will get him to put it back first before he move. So far so good, he is able to clear up all. If there is 1 or 2 pieces left out, I will point to it and he will pick it up, open the drawer and put it back.

Third, instruct him to bring things from a distance. Once I ask him to bring things to me, he will happily get it for me. Then, he able to put it back to the same place too, when it is done. Sometime when he is playful, he will bring and go a few times and he laugh there. He is very listen and take my instruction well. When he about run towards some dangerous area or I'm not going to follow him to the places, I said "cannot go" then he will pause and walk back to me with a crying face.

The small ball have been sitting at a corner for sometimes. Last weekend, daddy played with him and he is so excite and happy to chase it. I begin to teach him kick, push and throw. Since he can only stand up with support, when the ball goes away, he wants to pick it back. After he hold to stand but couldn't grab the ball. If grab the ball with both hands first, he couldn't get up...hahaha...it just so funny to watch his skill on how he did that, to grab ball first or to stand first. But I will help him on that.

Going holiday with your baby?

Year end now, holiday mood. everybody is try to taking long leave to go for vacation or family outing. I bet those who having small baby at home, you will head ache on packing his stuff. Last time, whenever we go other places over night, the car boot is full of his things.

Babies tend to be low-maintenance travellers who sleep a good deal of the time. Even so, they need a remarkable amount of gear to help them stay comfortable and happy. This checklist of items you shouldn't travel without, plus tips for easy, efficeint packing.

• Nappies
• Baby blanket(s)
• Resealable plastic bags
• Nappy rash cream
• Baby wipes
• Baby bath and lotion
• Tissues
• Clothes
• Washable bibs
• Bottles
• Sun hat and sun screen (at least sun protection factor 20)
• Food, formula, water and/or juice
• Breast pump
• Nightlight
• Baby sling
• Travel cot
• Baby car seat for safe travel by car, plane, train, or bus
• Collapsible buggy

Packing Tips

Start preparing to pack a few weeks before you travel. Keep an ongoing list of items to bring, or put items out on a table or chest of drawers as you think of thm

Use a baby bag with a waterproof lining and a shoulder strap.

Pack an extra shurt ot top of yourself in your hand luggage in case of accidents.

Prevent leaks by packing medicines and toiletries in re-sealable plastic bags.

Bring a 60cm square of plastic or a changing mat put under your baby during nappy changes.

Keep an energy-boosting snack handy for yourself.

Bring your camera and plenty of film or digital memory cards.

Bring a clip-on reading light so you can read without disturbing your baby.

Prepare to go HK

Today I didn't do anything, just try to search some info for our coming Macau and HK trip. Mainly are checking on the hotel rates and places to visit. Come across lots of website from the search engine and I'm so dizzy reading many today.

Accommodation in HK is not really cheap. No hotel rooms are below RM200. 2 star hotel also more than RM250, somemore no breakfast one. I don't mind staying in budget hotel or guest house, just for sleep and bath. But those info are hardly can search online. Since we are going by our own, we try to save as much as we can for this trip. Cause I know free and easy trip are very easy over spend. As a good start, I managed to book the free seat air ticket from Air Asia since early in April. Still not sure want to book hotel or stay at my cousin's house for 2 nights.

Itinerary wise, I full use of the time we have to go as many places as we can. I know the timing I booked the flight is not so an ideal one. It is a 5 days in total. First day, we reach Macau at night, which can say already waste one day. Basically travel there to sleep for the first day. We only have 3 full days in HK and Macau. We want to travel to both places. So meaning, 1 and half day for each place. The trip end on the following day morning. So, I foresee is quite rush to visit the attractions too. Tight timing.

Let see how we going to arrange. Looking forward for it very much...
