Future Savings
2007-12-20 13:39:00
In the past few months, prices of goods and services have risen very high. At this rate, interest rates are bound to go up as well. We are worried that this will affect our mortgage and also our home insurance.Besides that we have been looking for an insurance company that is tailored to our needs. We want to save money on insurance. I will try and get insurance quotes from various company.There is one company that I have looked into and it offers a lot variety, from family insurance to insurance mortgage. They even have cash back life insurance.There seems to be a very reasonable package that is suitable for us, so I will discuss it with hubby and we will get some more information on their insurance package.

Something For Greg
2007-12-20 10:47:00
Christmas is just around the corner and I was thinking of sending my cousin, Greg , a Christmas present to the US. But with a few days to go, I don't think that I have enough time and it won't reach on time for Christmas as well. 'So, I have been cracking my head trying to find a great present for him..haha..knowing that he loves to play poker, I wanted to give him a suitable gift.I have been searching online and found this poker calculator. It seems like a perfect gift for him. This calculator could help him win more money by calculating the poker odds for him, simply great!Also, the website is easy to navigate and use, so knowing him, it would be no problem for him. There is even an offer in the website for this Magic holdem calculator on the website for free, just by signing up to one of the online poker rooms.So I might just give that to Greg and then email him the details, that way, his Christmas present would be on time for Christmas! Saves me the hassle!

Great Finding!!
2007-12-19 18:01:00
Hubby's boss has been revamping their company's website . They are looking to change their current shopping cart software to a better one. My hubby has been looking into it and he has found this amazing offer on this shopping cart software. This software is quite suitable for his company because they have branches all over the world and this can be used on their American website. It's offering a 10 day trial so if they have found it unsuitable, then they can always change it. The shopping cart is integrated with all major cards, banks, gateways and third party processors.This ecommerce software is secure, easy to use and to install, affordable and has great customer support. What is more important is that it is search engine friendly which is will be great to drive more traffic to their company website and promote their products and services. I am sure when hubby presents this proposal to use this hosted shopping cart software, his boss will find it better than the old one!

My Happy Cousin
2007-12-19 17:03:00
My cousin in the US loves casinos! It is like his lifeline...he practically sleeps and dreams of casinos..mind you he has the privilege to be born with a silver spoon in his mouth. Therefore, he spends majority of his bachelorhood just playing games, poker, blackjack, slot machines and all kinds of games at the casinos..you name it..he knows it! He is a regular to casinos, so I happen to ask him whether does he plays online? He looked lost! Haha..I told him that he could also play online without having to leave his home.So he asked for my help and I found this site, top usa online casinos. He loved it! It features 10 of the most exciting casinos online. It is safe and great to play on the online casinos. There are different types of offers daily and what's even better..the PAYOUTS! The rate is real GOOD! My cousin is not good with computers, but it is no problem for him to use the site because it is very simple.The websites looks very professional and there are all types of games t...

Happy Birthday To....Moi!
2007-12-15 00:25:00
Oh yes! My birthday is today, nearly over now. It is a quiet birthday like always... My friend Shelly, treated me to a Chinese lunch buffet yesterday and gave me chocolates ( too fat already..shucks!). The food was OK..but by Malaysian standards..if fails miserably. Anyway, I took some photos of it. Another friend wanted to take me for dim sum in Manchester on Sunday but we are going for family lunch with my MIL, so will be postponed for next week. So, today just went to the Market Centre, which is like a town centre and walked around window shopping mainly, and getting some Christmas shopping. Tommorow going to Trafford Centre for shopping..yippee!!What did I get for my birthday? I got this from my MIL and this from my hubby.

Danny & Su Yin's Wedding
2007-12-14 18:59:00
*This is a backdated postI was going to post this when I was in Penang but did not have the time. Anyway, just wants to CONGRATULATE both of them again! Congrats Danny and Su Yin! By the way, the wedding was held at the Equatorial Hotel Penang.Didn't take much photos though. It was great to meet up with some of my ex-schoolmates, though, not too many as I have hoped....but never mind..Better than nothing..haha..Oh yes, the band that was hired was real bad!! Steel Guitars, it's called...out of tune and all sorts. We were seated at table nearest to the stage and at the end of the day, we were half-deaf. It was just like going to the disco except that disco is probably better..jeez...the singing was bad 90% of it. We were so glad once it was over.... Food was alright..not bad actually, a lot of left overs. But the party favour was quite nice...a pair of chopsticks with table mat. Overall it was a very slow and steady night..would have loved having all my good friends there....Annet...

Extra Cash $$$$...
2007-12-13 19:06:00
Everyone loves extra cash... In fact, people like me, always dreams of cash...whether it is just nice or it's extra cash. Saving for rainy day is good if you have enough cash to save, but what would happen if your pay or salary is just enough for the essentials in your daily life. Hubby is the sole bread winner of this family. Should one day, he falls ill and is unable to work for weeks, what would happen to out household income? I pray that the day would never come. However, there is no guarantee in life, so how am I going to pay for the bills until he is better or until I get a job?That's why I have been searching on the web and found Cash Advance Payday Loans. What this company does, it helps you if you are in sudden need for money during emergencies. You can simply secure payday loans if you qualify the 3 simple criteria. You must be in employment for at least 3 consecutive months, earning at least $1,000 per month in income and have a valid checking account open for at least ...

My Own Online Store
2007-12-13 18:38:00
I have always been interested to do my own business. Being a stay-at-home mum is great as I can watch my son grow and spend lots of time with him. However, being able to earn and help with the family finances is great too.So, I have been looking around, surveying for the best business to venture into. But I would like to be able to look after my son as well as working from home, so I think the best option would be having an online store or shop.To do that, I need to set up the website and have a shopping cart. Going through a lot of websites offering shopping cart software and ecommerce software, I have finally found one that offers the best shopping cart software.The Ashop Commerce offers well-tailored packages to suit individual needs. It is affordable and easy to set up. That sounds great for me because I would like a hassle-free software due to my time restriction. So, I think that I will try out the shopping cart software that is offered by this company.*This is a sponsored post.

Home Sweet Home....NOT..haha..It is bloody FREEZING here...especially when we go out.. No snow but the wind...is freezing... Been back 4 days now, jet-lag? Ian more likely... but I am slowly adjusting him to the time.. it is better except that now he doesn't want to sleep alone in his room!!! He has been sleeping with Mummy for 2 months. So every night I try putting him to his cot, he will scream...jeez.. So I have decided to sleep on the floor next to his cot..he is happy like that..mummy suffering, very cold... and backache.. What sacrifice! Hehe.. So once he is asleep, I will creep up and sleep in my own warm, comfortable bed. But because he is jet-lagged, so he sleeps at 6pm and wakes up at 3 am or 5am. He will wake up crying because he can't find mummy. If he wakes up early, I will have to go and sleep on the floor again..sigh! I hope he will sleep through the night soon. Another thing, he is refusing his milk now *slap head*!! Before going back to Penang, he was on goat's m...

Not around I suppose...this is NOT a holiday for me...I have to wake up at 4:30am every day to help with food preparation and work till 10pm at night before I can go anywhere... So tired by then....afternoon I have to look after Ian and have afternoon nap...really cannot take it..can't wait till I am back to the UK.
