Cursed Playground
2008-03-20 14:27:00 You know my story on the guy who was possessed the other day? Well yesterday, we heard loud noises down at the playground. Hubby looked out the balcony once again to see what the commotion was all about. This time he was all ready to go downstairs should it be a similar incident.However, it was some drunks sitting around in the dark, making lots of noises and singing at the top of their lungs. They must think they are on American Idol or something. I told hubby I hope the guards downstairs would call on the cops again and haul them all the police station for creating such commotion in the middle of night. Send them all to the alcohol rehab center or something. So irritating!Still cheerful though.. More About: Events , Playground
Tis the time to marry!
2008-03-20 13:41:00 Never have I been invited to so many events in one month. It must be because of the school holidays both in Singapore and Malaysia. If it is not wedding invitations, it is birthday invitations. If it is not those, then it's a barbeque or a "kenduri".I guess it shows people love me and want me to share in their happy events and for that I am grateful. Too bad I can't attend those events in Singapore though. That would have been fun too.Here's to all the happy occassion! More About: Time , Marry , The Time
Packing Away
2008-03-19 17:36:00 Oh my, the packing has started. I've decided to start with my dressing room first simple because that also serve as my storage area. Somehow I was not surprised to see lots of unused stuff there like extra bedding sets , cushion covers and pillows. I even have my appliances there like oven toasters and deep fryers! I guess it's good to start slow as I build momentum towards the more pressing rooms like the study! The funny thing is we have not even decided when we're gonna move...lolzz!Cheerio...

Scary Story
2008-03-18 18:05:00 Yesterday, at around 11pm, I was watching tv and blogging on Miss Fly in the living room. Hubby was inside the study doing some research on some real estate issues for his father. Then suddenly, there was a loud scream coming from the balcony area downstairs. Our balcony faces a playground and at night it's not lighted but you know there are a lot of youngsters that like to hang out there.Anyway, af first we thought it sounded like a kid screaming. but then it got louder and more often. Hubby looked out the balcony and saw (it was not pitch dark last night) a man lying on the ground. He was screaming and his friends was like holding him down. Hubby immediately knew that the man must have been possessed coz he was like screaming "Sapa Kau?!" or "Who are you?" to the people holding him down. See how loud he was screaming, we could practically hear what's going on down there.Our building security must have called the cops because they arrived after 30 minutes or so and helped dispe...

Word Count Tool For Firefox
2008-03-18 10:58:00 Wow people I'm on a roll. I just found another great tool. This one is great if you a paid postie and needed to make sure you had the right number of words for your entry post.I used to open my word application, copy and paste my post and click on the word count tool. Then I found a simpler online tool that does the same thing. Then yesterday I sort of decided to see if there was any other tool to make my life easier and after some unsuccessful search, I finally found the perfect one.It is actually a firefox extension, which means you need to be on or get a firefox web browser. Then go to this site and install the file into your system. Restart your firefox and you are all set!Now all you need to do is right click on the text area you want to do your word count and there it is!...like this..Enjoy!!...

Speaking of Golf...
2008-03-17 19:01:00 ..my ex-boss is also a great fan of the sport. Everytime he goes off for a VP Partner meeting in California, he always made sure I put aside a whole day so that he can play golf. He told me he love the california golf courses and as such he would even add another day to his trip if he did not manage to squeeze some time to indulge in the sport.Lucky for me, there are sites like American Golf dot com that allows me book tee-off time online at 60 golf courses nationwide. Makes my job a whole lot easier!Cheerio... More About: Speaking
Golf Anyone?
2008-03-16 19:00:00 Tee-off time, par, handicap, birdie, eagle. All terms foreign to me until I made friends with one Malaysia chatter a long time ago. He taught me everything I needed to know about golf. I wouldn't call myself an expert but at least I know what I am looking at it if I ever watch a golf tournament. This guy has won lots of games that was organised by his company. It was a passion to him and he enjoyed it so much that I became interested in the sport just by listening him talk about it.Then a month back, we chatted again and he did a 180 degrees turn in a way that really shocked me. He totally hates golf now. He even has given away his Cobra golf clubs. When asked about it, he said now, in his new job, he is expected to conduct business on the golf course and he totally hates it. It is no longer a hobby now but more of a job. And he cringe at the thought everytime he needed to play golf again. Poor guy, he now needs to find another hobby he said.I hope this will never happen to me. It... More About: Golf
Anyone been on a Cruise?
2008-03-16 12:51:00 My blog buddy, Farah, is going to Bandung tomorrow for a short holiday and what fun she's gonna have shopping, sightseeing and eating at Bandung hot tourist place. Trin has suggested a variety of places for her to go to and Farah has even printed out the locations..lolzz.. Farah. make sure you wear flats for the sightseeing and the loose pants for all the food you gonna eat ok! eheheheh.. and bring back loads of pictures for us to see!Speaking of holiday, I've often wonder what it would be like to go on a cruise. There are so many cruises nowadays leaving from Singapore that I can't help but wonder what is it going to be like. I mean I saw shows like "The Love Boat" (boy I feel so old and retro).. and unless you like the water, what other things can you do right on board right. Anyone been on a cruise before?? Care to share your experience?In the meantime, I'll just sing part of the theme song of "The Love Boat"...The Love Boat..promises something for everyone..Set a coast for a... More About: Cruise
Blog Archive Calendar for Blogspot
2008-03-16 12:40:00 I found this "Blog Archive Calendar " code while surfing last week and this was exactly what I wanted. Call me a wordpress freak but I just love the features or plugin they have and if I found some fantastic soul out there that can do the same for blogspot..well.. I'm gonna be a fan.This procedure is not as simple as the Top Commenter widget but if you follow the simple instructions, you'll get it right the first time, I assure you. It involves you inserting some codes in your html layout. This is what you see after you set it up.Make sure you check out the Calendar Style to get the best layout for your blog. The wonderful thing about this calendar is dates with entry post on them would be highlighted and the title of the entry would be display as well. Makes looking for your entries sooo much easier.That's it people.. Have fun!!!Cheerio... More About: Blogspot
I love Storage
2008-03-15 21:37:00 I don't know why but I just love storage space. I am a very organized person so everything at my home at it's own storage area. I love compartments and you can find little little boxes that I store my trinkets in. I was at my mom's house one day and I was rummaging through her drawer to look for something and I ended up organizing that drawer with containers and boxes. And I am happy to see that still used my system..lolzz!So you can see why a room full of cabinets like this one, available at directbuy, can make me smile from ear to ear. And lucky for me, the apartment that we are moving in to eventually would have lots of cabinets as well! I made sure of that!....lolzzz :)Cheerio... More About: Love , Storage
After the cheesecake
2008-03-15 06:28:00 Nat commented on my 9.30pm cheesecake snack and how she said she hoped that this kind of cravings only happens once a month and I read that comment to hubs and you know what he said.."once a year!"....lolzzz! So yeah Nat.. it doesn't happen all the time only sometimes and in fact I can feel the stomach bulging already...lolzzzSeriously though, I don't want to bore my readers with my thoughts on diets and losing body fat but I really need to tone up. Hubby commented yesterday, when I was in shorts and tees and said jokingly (I think) that I was "spreading"..... Arghhhh!!! I need to get me a fitness equipment fast. Or get to that gym next door to hubs office already! I would love to put up a picture of before and after then...lolzzz.. Anyways...Have a great weekend people..

Moving again!
2008-03-14 14:43:00 When I was living in Singapore, throughout my thirty one years, I only moved three times. The first was when I was 6yrs old, to our first HDB apartment, the second when I was twenty eight to a larger apartment and the last one when I was thirty one to a smaller apartment that I bought for my mom to stay in when I got married and moved to Malaysia.Ever since I got married, I moved like four times in eight years! Wow! Now it seems we are moving AGAIN! I have grown to such an expert in packing that I can just look the box and tell whether the stuff would fit in there or not.So now, we are actively looking for boxes and moving companies. We actually prefer the one we had on the second move as they were very professional. W had to use another company on the third move as they were not available for private move anymore. They are more into international move sort of thing.How I wish we have the services of Relocation dot com. This website provides listing of licensed movers and provide a... More About: Moving
Easter Party Anyone?
2008-03-13 18:27:00 Easter was always a big deal at my workplace back in Singapore. My boss, an American, would always host this big Easter party for all the kids of the other partners and the employees, and being his assistant, basically means, I'm the organiser!..lolzz.. but such fun it was too.. I absolutely love organising events and function and this was especially fun as it was for the kids and I can get as crazy as I wanted to. I would get costume for them and I always make sure my boss would dress up as a rabbit no matter how hot it got for him...lolzzzz...Sometimes some items and toys that my boss would request for the party were not easily found in Singapore. That is when I shop online and I always try to get online shopping coupons to minimize cost. Sites like Coupon Chief for example offers fantastic discounts from companies like Toy R Us and KB Toys. Ahhh.. those were the days...Cheerio... More About: Party , Easter , Suka
Top Commentator Widget
2008-03-13 17:23:00 I just found a widget that would show you the top commentator of your blogs. GP and Trinity wanted to know where I found the widget. Well, this used to be another wordpress feature that I really love but now it is possible to have one even if you are on blogspot.This is the site that will enable you to do just that. Let's show our appreciation of our commentators. It's as easy as 123, I promise!The only thing with this widget is that it will even include the blog owner as a commentator, the creator of the widget has a solution for this but unfortunately even after trying it out, it still has not worked for my blog. So I am still working on it but am contented enough to leave it alone. Let me know if you are successful in removing your name from the list ok.. Enjoy!!!Cheerio... More About: Widget

After all of hubby's romantic whispering.. he proceeded to give me my whole body massage. After that we did a movie marathon. Then we went for breakfast, I did a little blogging and then we went to bed at 10am.. lolzz!!! But not before I showered, he showered..lolzzz. (winking at Farah and Noushy)We woke up around 4pm. After our prayers, we went in search of food. We did not have lunch so we were ravenous for food! We wanted to go to our favourite store but it was closed for the election I guess, coz the owner is Kelantanese. So instead we had dinner at another stall. Nothing special but it was sooo delicious that I had seconds! The menu was:Ikan Bawal Masak Pedas (Pomfret in Sambal Gravy)Kailan Ikan Masin (Kailan with salted fish)Sambal Belacan and some soupLi...

Condolence
2008-03-02 17:00:00 We just got news tonight that our friend, AS, my hubby's business partner, father just passed away today at 8pm at IJN.It came as a shock as just yesterday he was telling us how his father's situation has improved and that he was no longer hooked up to any life support machine. Then today at around 7pm when hubby called him to confirm an appointment for tomorrow, he sounded rushed and he told us he had to go to the hospital as his father's condition had worsen.Then we got the news at 10pm that his father had passed on.It happened all too suddenly, one minute his father was fine and then the next he was admitted to the hospital for a bypass at Ampang Puteri Specialist Hospital. After the surgery, his situation got worse when they found liquid in his lungs and his kidney stopped functioning. The family moved him to IJN after APSH stated that they did not have the proper equipment for this situation. Once at IJN, his condition fluctuate between good and bad. He was in and out of com...

Party Time?
2008-02-29 10:27:00 I've always loved entertaining. I remember how my mom and I would host get-together for friends and relatives for special events when I was Singapore. My mom would be the cook of course coz I don't cook then and simply because she's so great at it.We would wake up early to go to the market. Then get the food ready and set up the dishes on the buffet tables all ready for our guests. There would be lots of chatter, gossips, jokes and laughter. Ohh what wonderful times those are. I miss that.. I miss being in Singapore with all my loved ones, my friends and everything familiar.I don't host much parties or get together now. In fact when I first moved here it was kind of a culture shock because most of my hubby's relative don't live in KL but his parents does so there's no like "balik kampung" culture for us. Hubby's friends are mostly single so not many female friends for me either (at least ever since I started blogging.. I've known more pple here). So no.. we don't get many ... More About: Party , Time
