In the tree

In the tree, originally uploaded by OrganicSamm.

I was driving to pick my kid up from school when i saw these two kids up in the tree and couldn't resist snapping a pic of them, lol. Reminds me so much of my childhood. We had a tree in our backyard and i've had lots of fun climbing it. The thing now is i wonder if i'll scream should i ever see my kid up there one day. Ahh... the joy of being a kid.

I want beer now worrr..... chi jorr sin....

I had a strange feeling just now. All i wanted was a can of cold beer. Any beer will do, best if it's Heineken, lol.... what the heck. I've not had beer for a long long time. How long? Since the night i conceived Malcolm gua. I dont think i've had a sip since then. Yeah.... it's that long.

I must surely be slightly crazy to want beer in the wee hours of the morning. Isnt this the time when half the world wants coffee? I think the first thing i'll do when Malcolm's weaned off me is to go for a beer session with hubby. I dont think one can will suffice. A dozen maybe.... *grins*

Hot hot hot.... rain rain rain....

I hate the current weather of late. It'll be really really hot for days on end and just when it's time for me to do my laundry, somehow it'll choose to rain on that particular day. Our current front loading washing machine does not have a built-in dryer function. We wanted to have it replaced when it broke down last month, but my mother-in-law [refers to have it fixed instead as we couldnt find one that's bigger than what we've been using all along.

She says if possible, she prefers to have at least a 7kg washer with a separate dryer; not one that come with the built-in function. Maybe she thinks that it'll be more energy efficient that way? I dont know. So, i'm checking out those Kenmore dryers now. She says her friend's using one and she finds it durable. Okay, whatever pleases the dowager, lol.

Value Stairlifts

I learnt from my neighbor that her aunt had a mild stroke recently. That old lady lives by herself and thank god, her grandson was around when that happened. She's now back home and recuperating. Somehow, she cant walk now and needs to be assisted. They live in a double storey house and her grandson found that it's cumbersome to carry her up and down everyday.

I think what he should do is install a stair lift to the staircase. My friend installed one for her frail grandmother when she started having difficulty walking up the stairs. She has no complaints and everyone's happy. You see, installing a stairlift will restore freedom and independance for those who ind it difficult to move around the home. If he doesnt know where to getone from, he can try contacting Value Stairlifts.

Value Stairlifts provide a number of stairlift models. They will ensure that you purchase the right stairlift that will enable you to move around your home with ease and confidence. He can call them at their US freephone number, 0800 587 0759. They are available from Monday-Friday, 9am-5pm. I hope he'll get the right stairlift soon for his grandma.

For the love of knitting

I'm feeling much better now. Thanks to all. A part of me left and was replaced with something different. And i like the new me better. I've not been doing much blogging these few days except for those paidposts that has datelines to it. Sorry, ya for subjecting all of you to sheer paidposts torture.

Other than that, i went for yarn therapy. I bought enough to last me a month or two. Two birthday projects for both my kids. And lots of new yarn for myself. In all i have 5 projects on hand. I havent bought yarn for hubby's shirt yet. Didnt have enough time. WIll do that again next week when i kautim Malcolm's vest.

To me, this is how i destress. But i know of some friends of mine will eat all day and all night long. Some even go do drugs until they end up at a drug rehab. Some like to drink their sorrows away. Me, i stay home and knit, knit, knit and do more knitting. Seeing those balls of yarn turning into works of art is the best therapy of all :)

White sandy beaches

I saw a few brochures lying around the table at my sister's house this afternoon. I found that they were of some Kihei homes when i flipped through them when i was waiting for my niece. Wow, not bad. I like those white sandy beaches best. Just what i need now. To run around the beach in a sexy bikini, or sunbathe all day long sipping Long Island tea.

I wonder who's going to Hawaii this time? But i remembered my sis telling em her hubby's niece is getting married in Hawaii. I think they're most likely going there to attend her wedding party or dinner function. Hmmmm.... i guess if one were to hold a wedding reception at the beach, it's gonna be really romantic. Geee.... i wonder what will the bride wear on the beach. I wont be caught dead wearing a wedding gown. That'd be awkward.

If they havent booked their accomodation, i'd better tell them that they can do it through Hawaiian Beach Rentals. So convenient these days. With just a few mouseclicks and one can book their vacations online without the need to go to a travel agency. That's what we used to do last time. Now, it's so different and easy.

The Packing Station

I was surprised to see that my niece had packed all her belongings into huge plastic bags and few luggage on preparation for her trip to university. So much to pack and not using boxes? How to ship them over? Something's bound to break that way.

I remembered when my uncle shipped his stuffs back from the UK recently, they were all neatly packed in packing boxes in bubble wrap. I even commented that nothing got broken when we happened to be there when he was in the midst of unpacking his stuffs. Everything is so organised. I'm impressed.

He says that in the UK, many people buy their packing supplies from The Packing Station. How convenient it is to have such a company that sells all these. make moving around so much easier. I've moved around many times before and i know what a hassle that can be if i cant seem to finf my things once i'm back. Gee... i hope my niece will go get some boxes to pack hers in or else she's gonna have a headache when she reach the university.

Renewing my club membership

I wonder why my brother-in-law keeps buying new golf balls for his training sessions. He's just started on this sport and cant even hold the clubs properly yet. My sis told me his trainer suggested that he practise with those used golf balls instead of new ones. Once he's good at the game, he can use new ones at the club. Talking about the club, i havent been there for ages. Didint even renew my membership. I should take my kids there for a swim one day. But i gotta renew my membership first.

Whose pens?

I found a few pens inside Gordon's schoolbag just now. I dont think those are ours as i've never seen the brand around the house before. I've check with my father-in-law and he also says those are not his either. Then, my guess is he must have gotten them from school. I'll have to return those to the teacher tomorrow. Gordon cant write yet, even if he can, he will be using pencils and not pens, lol.

Going to Kona

I just got back from high-tea with a few girlfriends. Been out since 3pm when the kids were napping. They havent been sleeping well for the past few days as they room's temperature was quite warm. I was wondering what can the matter be. Then i remembered i havent vacuumed the air-conditioner for quite a while. I did that the first thing this morning and even hosed down the compressor too. The room's very cold now at 19 degrees celcius.

Over tea just now, i got to know that one of my girlfriends happened to be a victim of one of the local travel agency that went bust some time back. She booked her vacation and also paid up everything. They were just about to leave for the airport when they got news that there'll be no trip and was told to go home by themselves. She lost a few thousand bucks that way and missed the opportunity to attend her niece's wedding too. Poor thing.

She'll be going to Kona with her kids next weekend. She says she booked an Oceanfront 3 Bedroom Vacation Rental Home with a pool at Hale Ke Kai for $725 from a site that offers Kona vacation rentals. She told me to bookmark Hawaiian Beach Rentals. She did the booking all by herself, not through a travel agency. She says it's better this way, lol. Well, i hope she has a great time with her family this time.

I need time to reflect

Yesterday was the most rotten day of my life. It served as a sick reminder of what i can turn out to be. So bad that i was stunned by my own action. It's just unbelievable that i could have done what i did. I felt sick to the pit of my stomach.

Got me thinking the whole night. I havent slept. I tossed and turned in bed. I still cant come up with a solution yet. I need time. I need time to reflect upon myself as both a wife and a mother. What went wrong where. I am answerable to myself.

Win an iPhone

Hubby's phone died some time back and he found a good way of hinting to me that he wants the Apple iPhone. Ok... ok i geddit..... i think his idea of hinting to me is a response from this video:



This is mine :)



I hope this video i created will win me an Apple iPhone that's valued at $499. So.... PICK ME!! PICK ME!!! PICK ME!!!! So, how do you find this video? Let me know!!!! Drop me a comment at Youtube. THANKS!!!!

Do check out this iPhone Review and Video too. And check out this iPhone video. HILARIOUS!!!!!

Sweet jackfruit

I just whacked a few jackfruits just now. Hubby bought them for me after he sent Gordon to school. They are so sweet. I've not had them for ages, almost forgotten how good they can be. But i think i'm going to cough like chisin later on. Common as my throat irritates easily after i eat sweet stuffs. Been like that since young. That's why i stay off sugary stuffs as much as i can.

So, unless it's Haagen Daz or Godiva, i sure rant wann, if i cough after eating those stuffs, lol. But once in a while okay lerrr. How can a person live without sweet things, hoh. Cannot wan mah. Sorry, hoh. No pics of the jackfruit. Only left one papaya and some pineapple triangles, lol. Want those? Cant see my phone now. Maybe later and that's if i find it before i whack the rest up too.

Plasma rentals for your event

I saw my brother-in-law calling his friends up asking to borrow their television sets. I got curious and asked why he wanted them in such large quantities. He said he had an upcoming event that requires that he place television sets all over the place. As he only has three in his house, it's not enough to cater for the whole event. That's why he's calling them up.

I asked him how is he going to ship them over to the place where his event will be held. He then gave me a blank stare and said he didnt think of that and that he'll deal with the logistics later, lol. What the heck!!! Why so troublesome. Didnt he know that he can rent them these days? I think in his haste to get things done, he has forgotten the fact that they might break during tranportation time. Then what? Buy his friends new ones as a replacement. He must be out of his mind.

I told him to go check out computerrentals.com and get them to help him out. He can ask them for a quote online too. Now, CRE is the nationwide leader for short-term plasma rentals. Plasma tvs ahve superior image quality and produces super-sharp images on screen. They are also uniformly clear and intensely detailed across the entire surface of the screen. i think he'll most likely go for plasma as it makes the event more impressive.

What is Colloidal Silver?

Silver has long been used since the ancient times by both the Greeks and Chinese as an anti-bacterial agent. It's also well-known for its healing properties for thousands of years. Long before the development of modern pharmaceuticals, it has been touted for its medical, preservative and restorative powers. Some of silvers uses includes was employed as a germicide and even as an antibiotic.

If you watch those olden Imperial Chinese movies, all the Emperors of China use silver chopsticks to eat with. The chief of the royal court has to check each and every dish for poisoning every time before food was served to them. If the food contains bacteria or suspected to be poisonous, the chopsticks will be sure to turn black. If that happened, the chief cook and 9 generations of his family members will be beheaded.

It's well documented and many people still uses silver in the form of colloidal silver for general wellbeing and to ward off unwanted ailments. But then, how can you tell a true colloidal silver out there? There are a lot of products that claim as being colloidal silver, but are merely ionic silver solutions. A true silver colloid consists mostly of silver particles.

You must read up more if you really want to reap the benefits of what colloidal silver has to offer. Moreover, it's for the benefit of your health. Purestcolloids.com is the place to go to if you want to buy true colloidal silver. Read up on what they have to say about how theirs differs from the others out there in the market.

Dried scallops

Dried scallops, originally uploaded by OrganicSamm.

These are for Malcolm's porridge. MIL didnt know i cook porridge for Malcolm until yesterday, lol. She asked me what i use for her darling grandson's porridge and i told her carrots, tomatoes and potatoes, and the occasional french beans. Sometimes, i use wolfberries, dates and some other chinese herbs and roots.

So, she bought me this today. I love dreid scallops. These are small ones, good for baby's porridge as it's size is just right. The big ones are best left for longer cooking. The best part is, i can ccok more and eat those scallops for myself with Marmite!!!

Do you need small business phone system?

Our company's phone bill is very high and i have to find some ways to lower it. Jacky says he's using one of the most complete and affordable VoIP business phone system available. It's the Virtual Office. It delivers powerful hosted PBX calling features combined with both local and long distance service.

But then, alli need is a small business phone system that can cater to my needs. According to Jacky, thoer VOIP business poackage may be what i'm looking for as it's the most affordable one. he's been using it for a long time and it has saved me lots of money.

I'm more than pissed.... stay off me today!!!

I'm already in a screwed up mood this afternoon. I wasnt feeling well, had a bad tummy ache. So, i was taking a nap when i got this SMS.

I got madder as i really needed the nap as i slept at 5am this morning and Gordon woke me up at 6.15am. I only got less than 3 hours sleep for the whole of last night. Couple this with a bad tummy, i'm really really in a pissy mood. Still in utter discomfort, i replied to the SMS.

And got this reply:

So, to the company involved in selling this knn ED supplement. Go do your blardy marketing elsewhere and stay away from spamming other people mobile phones, okay. And do thank me for helping you advertise your lanjiao product lah, FARKER.

Or perhaps if anyone suffering from ED would like to call that Rozita or Angie to give you a bj instead. Their number is free for all. Or to all the silais whose husband has ED, that Koh fler may be able to help. Go call and ask him for his price lah. The message says gerenti that you'll be happy with no side effects. Does that mean that fler's clean, with no STD... TIUUUU!!!!

Now, another issue is what are our network providers doing about it. There was an article in TheStar recently that says that Maxis are coming up with antispamming tools to combat these sort of spams. How are we as consumers, able to proctect ourselves from all these unwanted messages. How do we lodge a report and make sure that action is taken against those companies involed that spams. Arent those SMS and phone numbers proof enough.

Aitelyu, BIG FUCKING DEAL!!! They happen to be biggest spammer around with their constant offers of free ringtome download, free this download, free that download, subscribe this, subscribe that..... DNMCH. I dont know how many time my blardy phone has to beep in a single day only to find messages that are intended for the mass market NMFL.

Do you need curtain tracks?

I've gotta replace the old curtains with some new ones. MIL has no time to shop for them. I've gotta do it for her. She likes all those floral -patterned ones, which to me, looks drabby. I prefer to have in a more contemporary design like stripes. Those will definitely brighten up the living room far better than floral ones. And oh, she reminded me to get new curtain tracks too whilst at it.

Gordon's car-cars

This is how Gordon plays with his car-cars everyday. Cannot share-share wannn. He'll get very mang jang when malcolm crawls over and screws up his formation, lol. Mind you, he'll push him away, HARD!!! Malcolm wanna join in and play also cannot. Skali he push, Malcolm will fall onto the floor, my poor boy. So, this is what Gordon does almost all day long. Lining up his toys everywhere.

Cun, hoh. All in straight-straight line wann. But i dont ubderstand how come his cars left so few. There were supposed to be 25 in all. Now, lefty about 15 jek. That's why i dont buy him expensive stuffs. I'll get tulan-ed when i cant find them.

Electrolux washing machine

One reason MIL was reluctant to change her washing machine when it broke down, but chose to have it repaired instead is because of the brand; Electrolux. There wasnt many choices when we went to check out one for her a few weeks back. I wanted to replace ours with a bigger load. Anything more than 5kg capacity is big, lol.

I wash my comforter quite often, and with a 5Kg, it's just not bigh enough. I finally found one at the electrical shop today. It's a 7Kg Electrolux. I was told its a new model, but the one at the showroom is sold. I told MIL about it and she said she likes it, but we're only to buy it when ours break down again. Okay, whatever she says. I wonder if something with this capacity comes with a dryer?

Do you like Hollywood gossips?

One thing i love most about the internet is that i get to catch up on hollywood gossip. Well, the latest and hottest must be Paris Hilton and her jailterm, of course. Who can resisit readign about the rich spoilt heiress spending her weeks sitting pretty inside a jail, lol. Me, for one, has been catching up on that.

And also thanks to celebritygossip.com, i also learned that my favorite actress, Julia Roberts just gave birth to a healthy baby boy. And then, there's Lindsay Lohan getting her birthday cancelled as she's still at Promise Treatment Center. Hopes she sobers up soon. So young, screwed up life.

I got to knit!!!!

After hubby sent Gordon to school this afternoon, i quickly finished up with all my daily chores, nursed Malcolm to sleep and sat down to continue with my over-due knitting project. nehhh... the orange blouse, lol. It's almost done. A few more inches to the top of the shoulders and i can join them together already.

Knit the armholes and collar and you'll get to see the finished product. Just pray i dont procrastinate and stash it inside my bag out-of-sight-out-of-mind again. I want closure. Time to move on to new projects. New yarns abeckoning. The shop called and told me new stock has arrived..... *drools*.... Definitely another pokkai season for me......

Burn Notice's Spying 101

I was reading up on the story behind USA Network's Burn Notice andsome cool stuffs keep flitting through my mind. I grew up in an era where i watched MacGyver and lots of old James Bond movies. And i didnt forget about Inspector gadget, lol. Yes, i love to se how they use their creativity to catch those baddie. And those cool imaginative gadgets like mirrors and lipsticks, watches, all innocently disguised that no one will ever suspect they can be deadly.

Oh, when i was a kid, i use to emulate those things i see on tv, and yes, i think my mom must have lost quite a few tubes of lipsticks and lots of mirrors those days. You may wonder why in the world would i want toplay with mirrors, right. I was pretty creative when i was a kid. I make periscopes with them, lol. Half the time, another one of my favorite is to use toilet rolls and pretend that they are binoculars. Can you believe that.

Given the choice, if i were to be a spy, now, what would my favourite items be? Being a woman, i think no one will even suspect me of being a deadly one if i were tostaick with my two favorite childhood fantasy items, yeah. I have faith that my trusty lipstick laser gun and mirror will get me out of any situation at all, no doubt about that. Dangerous missions? There's no dangerous mission in my books, Only success!!!! Now excuse me whilst i apply my lipstick!

Come drool over my bak jang

I didnt get the chance to eat this when MIL bought them yesterday. I gave some to my mom. These are made with black eyed peas, not exactly my favorite ingredient. I prefer mine with the small yellow peas. What do you call those? She told me they cost around Rm4.50 each. It's filled with pork, chestnut, mushroom, some driend prawns and 1 salted egg yolk. They tastes fine to me. Not the best though. I seldom eat these nowadays, this is an exceptional case, lol.

Nice? Delicious? Drooling now?

iPod Video Converter Software Review

My niece bought an Ipod recently and has been happily listening music on it. I asked her what movies does she have on her Ipod as it has 3-Gb of storage. Sje gave me a weird look thatsays it all, lol. Yes, she has absolutely no idea what i'm talking about.

She didnt know that che can watch movies she has stored on her pc on her Ipod too. I told her to check out this iPod Video Converter Review to know how to get the most outof her new baby.

My pet turtle

My pet turtle, originally uploaded by OrganicSamm.

Meet Didi. We've had him since 18th Oct 2002, even before Gordon was born. We had a pair but his mate didnt survive. Didi will be turning 5 this October. We have to get him a new tank soon. He's quite big already. I just hope MIL wont rant when i manage to find a bigger tank and put it at the living hall. Actually, the old folks have grown fond of him. I was giving him his bath this morning and realised that i've not taken pics of him for a long time. So, say hi again to Didi :)

Where's the blardy cane-cane???

The moment i turned into the road leading back to the house, Gordon started wailing at the top of his lungs. He was expecting his efnd mom to drive straight and the both of us can go goyang kaki have tea at Oldtown Kopitiam. I had to yank him out of the car, drag him back into the house, push him through the door and lock the front gate behind me, all amidst chaos.

So, you all still want kids. Arent they adorable until they turn into demanding lil monsters? Now where's the cane when i need it most....... GORDON..... just you wait...... niamah...

Have you tried Wonka Bars before?

My sis brought some Wonka Bars over for my kids. Her SIL bought them from the US and brought some back with her last week. Have you tried Wonka Bars before? Not bad, you know. They are just milk chocolate candy bars with graham crackers. I love the taste and the texture very much. Not overly sweet either that they stick to your throat.

Though i hardly eat candies nor give them to my kids, this will be an exception. I've not seen any shops nor malls seling Wonka Bars here. But then, you can always buy them online. They come in a container with an ice pack, so that you dont have to worry about receiving them in a melted state. They will still be solid and cool, just the way it is supposed to be. Oh... just go get some and try it out for yourself, k. The taste is indescribably delicious.

Can joining a lottery syndicate help you win the jackpot?

What would you do with a cool million in your pockets? I know i know, you're gonna think that Samm's gone nuts.... talking about being a millionaire. But the truth is, i think nearly everyone i know of have had that thought at least once, right. I think about it once in a while. No harm in thinking, wokay.

Everytime i eat at the coffeeshop, chances are, there are bound to be at least one lottery seller that will shove a stack of lottery tickets into my face, asking me, "Wanna buy lottery tickets? Sure can win...", even when they can see that i'm in the midst of spooning food into my mouth. Oh yes, i've bought lottery tickets that way before. I've even won a few of those scratch-and-win before. That's about it.

To my uncle, the lottery means a lot to him. He has faith that he will strike the jackpot one fine day. It's not funny, in rain or shine, he will go to his favorite ticket booth to buy his lottery tickets every Sunday. It's been that way for the last 30 years. To date, he's not won anything and yet, he still keeps on buying those lottery tickets. Is he doing something wrong that he's not winning it at all?

People in the UK play the UK Lotto very differently. They join a lottery syndicate to actually learn how to maximise their chance of winning or even hitting the jackpot. Is this possible? I read from the website that many people have actually won. Some in large amounts, some in smaller amounts, depending how much and how frequently they play.

The eLottery Syndicate claims that they can instantly give you the best chance you have ever had of winning the lottery. Can this be true? I dont know, i'll never know unless i'm their member and play the UK Lotto through them. If you want to know, then you've gotta check it out for yourself.

Malcolm learning to stand - video

Gordon didnt learn to stand until 12 months old and he walked unassisted by the time he turn 13 months. Malcolm started at 10 months. He can now stand for a good 30 seconds at a time. Sometimes, he'll even dance to the music or DVD on tv. Sometimes, pounce on you too when he's standing.

The major difference between Gordon and Malcolm is, the moment Gordon wakes up in the morning or from his naps, he'll start his learning process immediately. Whereby, Malcolm prefers to wail the moment he wakes, even when his eyes are still shut, lol. He's a very clingy baby and from my point of view, has prolonged separation anxiety.... *gasp*

I guess it wont be long till his very first step and i hope i can record that down. It would be a shame to miss that. I didnt get to cam it during Gordon's time as my old Nokia 6600 produces lousy videos, lol. Now that i have the Sony T100, i'm waiting for the day he can walk on his own, hopefully by his 1st birthday, which is on 6th July.

What's today's program?

What's today's program?, originally uploaded by OrganicSamm.

I slept at 5am after a short chat with Simple American on MSN in bed using my phone. Woke up at 10.30am with this on the kitchen table. A loaf of Gardenia Toast'em bread and 2 packets of noodles. Gordon wanted paupau, whilst i ate a packet of bihun. I dont like this but since this is what MIL bought, i ate one. I shall wait and see what i'm going to do with the other later.

Taking the kids to Disney World

I've always wanted to take my kids to Disney World. Gordon loves Mickey Mouse and Minnie Mouse so much that he can almost spot them from afar. Sometimes, i have to squint and look around me in order to find where he saw Mickey or Minnie. It could be at the Mall, on a banner.... just anywhere, lol.

But then, both of them are still so small and i'm worried that they may not like staying in a hotel room for days or even weeks on end. You know, Orlando... it has so many theme parks. 52 if i'm not wrong, and even tons of activities for moms and dads too like shopping and golf. Believe me, a week is never enough.

I asked a friend of mine who just got back from Orlando. Well, she's like me, has kids too. She says the best thing is to book a big and spacious villa though Orlando vacation villa rentals. Children dont like cramped hotel rooms and chances are they'll get edgy.

Great!!! I'll have to let hubby know so that he can take time off work to plan for a really good family vacation next month. How long should i plan for? 2 weeks? Or 3??

Real-life work in progress

Real-life work in progress, originally uploaded by OrganicSamm.

Apart from blogging, I'm also in the midst of drafting out our company's TOS. This is tedious, time-consuming and not something which i like doing. But no choice, this preceeds everything else. I've to go through each and everyone of them and edit them as necessary before sitting down and finalising them with our lawyers. And i've got to get it done by next week's board meeting..... blekkkk, SIEN....

Fresh and innovative way to sell your car at BuyYourCar

The last time i spoke with Garym he was in the midst of selling his car. The deal didnt go through as the buyer could not agree with the asking price at the very last minute. That was two months ago. I asked him just if he has sold it yet and Gary said no. He could find someone who would take his Nissan.

I told him not to advertise in the newspaper as nobody reads the used cars classifieds these day. Most of my friends look for their dream car online nowadays. They say that it's more easy and convenient this way as they get to run lots of different searches to narrow down their options. As Gary lives in the UK, he should try listing his at BuyYourCar. Though it's fairly new to the Used Car advertising arena, if i'm not wrong, only live since August 2006, that's where my cousin successfully sold his recently.

He told me that they take a very different approach compared to other used car listing sites. It's more comprehensive than that of simple listing and uploading a picture of your car. The benefits that BuyYourCar offer to Dealers are enormous. So is the benefit to the searching public. There was once whereby a customer had to travel 100 km over to my cousin's place to view his car. His was NOT the only car he viewed. He found 5 more within the same city that my cousin was living in, saving him time and money. At the end, he bought my cousin's.

I hope Gary would list his car there and sell it off quickly. BuyYourCar might be new, but it is fresh, innovative and delivers good quality content for the user. If you havent listed your car online for sale before, why not try the service?

So, my boy won. Happy now lohh. I'll let him play till the battery runs out, which wont take long. I checked when i turned it on and there was only about 1.5hrs of gameplay time left. It should be anytime now, give and take 15 minutes or so.

Cant have him over-excited before bedtime. He'll get nightmares. Though all those are non-violent games, a kid cant tell. To me, everything's exciting and new. How come kids are so easy to please. Give him a toy and he'll be happy for hours, lol. Wish i can be so easy to please.

Are you interested in the Isuzu Rodeo?

Have you been to the Las Vegas Convention Center lately? A car show was held there that attracted more than 50,000 international and domestic buyers. My cousin just got back from Las Vegas and he attended the car show. He says amongst all that glitz and glamour, he's interested in the almighty light truck.

It's the Isuzu that took center stage with two very unique concept trucks. He's especially fond of both the i-370 Off-Road Truck and the i-290 Sport Truck. He told me that the i-370 Off-Road Truck boasted a Skyjacker lift kit, custom hidden hitch, nerf bars, and Toyo Tires on American Racing alloy wheels.

Wow, i wonder if he'll buy the Isuzu Rodeo. I've never driven a truck before. I've always dreamt of driving one. But then, i'm so short. I wonder if people can a driver at the front seat or not with me at the wheel, lol. Gee... i really hope he buys one.

Gordon's dinner

Rice with egg & vegetable nuggets and Marmite soup. Gordon doesnt quite like whole vege now. The only to get him to eat them is to mix them into his egg nuggets. I'll just add some onions and garlic to it when i fry them. Easy. As it's mosquito season, i give him Marmite soup with his rice. He loves it, so do i. Can never get enough of Marmite.... delicious. Come to think of it, no more bread also. Should i run to 7-11 and get a loaf????

Hubby bought this from Chai kar Hei, which sells very tasty Lormaikais too. Beats me why he didnt buy me that too, aiyaaaaaa.... I'll ask MIL to buy me one for breakfast tomorrow morning then.

Underfloor heating

Arent we just lucky to be living in a country whereby we do not need to install underfloor heating? I have an old distant aunt living in Yorkshire and she says that the cold flooring is terrible on her feet. Her son offered to install underfloor heating for her but she refused, silly old woman.

She says that they are expensive and would rather suffer in silence. I tell you, the cost of hospitalization is far more expensive compared to that. Dont be as stubborn as my aunt. Those cold floors can be a killer to your feet and is bad for circulation.
