Mom in law came back from Sabah

And for today's entry,it will be talking about food and flower.Mom-in-law came back from KK,(sabah)Borneo last night.I was very excited because my sister bought me some local food,raw prawn crackers,my favourite chicken flavour Maggie mee and of course not forget the Nescafe.During Chinese New Year or Hari Raya,you will be served with keropok udang or ikan as a treat.Prawn crackers is a traditional snack made from fresh prawn, tapioca flour and other spices.It is well known in Asia.I remember my aunt used to make the raw fish crackers and fry a lot and kept it in a large tin.Everytime she made this the house will filled with fishy aroma and of course very sting too.The prawn crackers has a unique flavor and crispness after you fry them .Nothing much to write as there's nothing much happening in the house yet!Hubby work as usual everyday and night.See!no one talk to me except the kids.He rarely stay at home and sometimes I really miss going back to Sabah.Well,we can't go back at this time because the kids already settled here and it's not easy for them to adapt Malaysia education system.Nevermind I am just rambling here.Miss A already went to school already and Miss B is watching her favourite cartoon and now I am with the computer as usual.After posting this entry I will get back into the kitchen to make lunch for the kids.I read Pearly's blog yesterday and found one interesting recipe.She share the cakoi(Fried Curlers)recipe in her post.In her recipe,it is quite easy to make and she is not using any chow fun or ammonia at all.I feel like making it today and will post it if I can make it.
In this blog I'll put some flower shots because this is the best time to snap the beautiful nature.This is one of my favourite flower.This hyacinth has a single dense spike of fragrant in different shades of colour.You don't have to put any air freshener at home if you put it indoor.Atcually this flower is plant outdoor but I don't know why everytime I plant it outside the garden the flower will die.So I decided to put it indoor and try to get more brightness through the window.Okie dokie that's it for today post.

Blog and paid post

I have been feeling sick for the past few days.I felt like sleeping the whole day and really run down.I try to write a post this morning but until now then I have the time to sit infront of the computer.I don't understand why my kids are always very clingy to me.Whenever I go to the living room and watch TV,they will be around in that area make noise.But if I go upstair use my computer,they will play infront of me and make noise and disturb me all the time.I did play with them and entertain them as much as possible but they seem still want to be with me all the time.

Now it's almost eleven o'clock and I feel so sleepy.Oh ya,I received an email from an advertiser just now saying that my other blog have reviews that must be completed within 3 days from today.I have been stop writing for that blog since two weeks ago.Due to my personal reason to quit that blog,now I try not to force myself into writing about certain topics just to get more readers.I feel comfortable and having fun with this blog right now.I used to be on top of my blog and I know how to write a good review.Now I'm totally lost,unsure how to start writing and the advertiser wants me to write 400 words for the review.Well,actually the offer is quite good but my brain is totally lost.I already turn down two advertisers and if I don't write this time I am afraid they might suspend my account or I won't be able to write for the advertiser in future.I am still thinking whether to go for it or not.This is a very good lesson to me.Next time if you want to quit writing the blog stop bidding at least one month in advance.

Musical show

Today is Pro D day.Yep!luckily there is no school today.I feel like getting sick.I got terrible sore throat since last night.I have the chills this morning and I am sore all over my body.I've had it this year for the 1st time and it sucked.Anyway,I hope tomorrow is better.Oh ya,yesterday was the last day of musical show at Miss A school.It was an excellent show.All the families and friends in our community are very supporting to the charity event.The show was very funny.I got emotionally attached to the show in general because of the winning combination between music and comedy drama that the kids make so expressive.I don't know why everytime Miss A had a show on stage I feel want to cry.I am very proud of Miss A of her braveness on stage.She doesn't scared at all and I am very happy that she gets to perform very well at show.Hope her acting improve every year.Well,I guess I need to rest now.

Tulips

One of the most popular garden plants of late spring is the tulip.I love to plant tulip in my patio. It has brightly-coloured flower.There are many different types of tulips.Some types of tulip have pointed or feathery petals.Tulip needs planted in full sun.When the sun comes out, they open wider and if there isn't any sunshine the flower will close.Isn't that amazing.Tulips are one of the bulbs that everyone would love to buy.These beautiful bright and vivid colours are totally awesome!They're really unlike any other flower.The Nikon Coolpix coolpix 3100 can take the closeup of photography with its Scene modes.Oops!I know the camera is in the market for ages.Let me see...Urmm!I bought this camera in year 2003.Although this camera an old version type of Digital camera but it's still in good condition and can take great shots.I've been able to get some awesome closeup pictures of insects and eyelashes too.The life of the battery is very short but I'm quite pleased with the performance.I would never have been able to take any of these photos with the Sony cybershot.Well,I love to own a Nikon D100 or 200 but I guess I have to wait for another year and hope the price will drop abit.

Digital LCD screen turn blank

I love photography and my camera is always in my bag.I am a bit upset today.This morning my camera really gave me a big surprise.The lcd screen on my Sony digital camera is blank (white).Miss A has a school show later in the evening and I really need the camera.I don't know what is wrong with it.I tried to on and off several times but it still won't help at all.

The LCD screen works when pressing but no image on the screen.After snapping few shots without focusing,I tried to download it in my computer and it seems the camera did captured what I had snapped.I have no choice but to use my old version of Nikon coolpix.Actually I love this Nikon camera a lot.There a problem with this camera is that the battery always goes dead when you need it the most.which did not last very long although I use the excellent battery life bodies.It's only can takes less then 10 shots.Anyhow,what to do-have to use this later and see how many picture I can take.Geee!what a day.

It was such a beautiful day today

We had a lovely,warm and sunny day as I can see it from my window.Isn't it a beautiful day today?Unlike any other day,today is indeed a brand new day.I finally can feel meet the sunshine,wear my tank top and flip flop now.Actually I intend to bring the kids for a walk in the park to play sand and ride their bikes but I was too tired to go.We went to Artknapp this morning and got some pretty flowers blubs to plant outside on our patio.I bought tulips bulbs,daffodils, grenadines and some indoor plants.I let the kids to choose the colours and pick out their favourite flower.The place is filled with beautiful flowers and I almost got stuck in there because of the gorgeous flowers.Then we went home,unloaded our groceries and immediately went out the patio and plant the bulbs.The kids were very excited to help me out with the planting.I can't wait to see the flowers blooming.I really hope we can start barbeques and having cocktails at the patio soon.

Are man a good listener

My hubby is not a good listener.We've been married for 9 years and he had not changed at all. When I need someone to talk to he only say emm or ah and then never gives me feedback.For example,this morning I told him that Belinda already had her milk,and about 10 minutes later he asked her to weather she wants milk or not.Do you think he is listening what I said?

Maybe he is not a great listener,or perhaps he has absent minded as this is what we had an argument everytime he gave me the wrong signal.There was one thing that I tell him not once but maybe more than 10 times what our girls doesn't like or like when we visit store.He will eventually buy those snack that my girls won't eat.He would always bought me the wrong thing or I do not need despite I have been telling him the things that I would like to have and need.I believe very seldom men will listen and remember what we are rambling about.Don't you agree?

Toys all over the house

It seems that my house is always filled with toys in everywhere.I believe that Children should have a place for their belongings.Its call their bedroom.I have no problem if my kids keep their toys in the living room as long as they put all the toys away.I had bought lots of toy boxes for them to keep their toys.I did help my kids clear up the toys everyday and I've taught them hundred times to keep their toys back into where it's belong but their toys are everywhere also.I decorate the den as a play room for them and they just like to get dragged from one room to the other.It does really annoy me when I step on something and it hurts my foot.

The reason why I got so mad about is I fell down in their room last night.At 1pm,my younger daughter was crying like hell all in a sudden so I quickly ran to her room and forgot to on the lights.Then,I accidently stepped on a her toys,slipped,bumped on a small chair and fell down.It hurts my upper left arm,both my legs and upper right side of my chest.I fell down hard and it hurt when I try to raise it to the side and it kinda hurts a little to breathe too.Luckily hubby is kind enough to help me rub it with chinese medicine oil and massage my side bone.When I woke up this morning though both my legs are started hurting like crazy and I noticed they are starting to turn black and blue.My chest still hurts,I'm sure I don't need to go to the hospital but I'm afraid hubby gonna force me to seek chinese traditional massage.Essh!This isn't the first time happen to me this year.I think I am Fan Tai shui.

Can't stand the cold

Spring has started a month ago and I still don't feel the spring season yet.I am hoping for spring for a long time.I mean,it's very cold today.Can you believe snow in spring?It happened 2 weeks ago.Maybe we should blame the global warming or cooling!The weather seems screwed up alot these days.I know that not everyone is as cold-natured as I am, but I can't help but think that a person have to wear a winter clothes everywhere during the spring and summer months.Whenever I go outside no matter what the season is I still have to wear winter Jacket.I already organized all my spring clothes in my closet and yet have a chance to wear it.I can't wait to wear those tank tops and flip flop.

About me

Yay,finally I got another blog.I feel like control the world now LOL!After I quit posting my other blog,I found out that I had lots of time to read others blog.Well ok I am taking it a bit too far but I am please with myself now.I don't have to read more then 30 blogs a day and leave comment on their blog now.And I don't have to stay up late or wake up early in the morning to write paid post.Geee!I no longer had any stress.It's not easy to setup a blog and build up a high ranking but I guess setting up a new secret blog is kinda exciting to me.Now I can write whatever I want and blog anytime and anyday I like.

My blog makeover

I have been struggling for about few days just to search for a new template for this blog.After editing and experimenting the new template the whole day,this new template is finally complete.The previous template was temporary one.Technically,I was looking for a new template with white background.I have been working hard trying to look for something like this.It pretty hard to get a nice template you know.I just felt the illustration is way too big don't you think so?And my post is kinda small now.Arggg!!Geram!!By the way,I'm hoping to be able to find a nice templates with better layout for this blog.

Fine Lines

I'm noticing I need to pay attention to the fine lines around my eyes these days.I have dry and oily skin and always try to use cream at night before bed but it seems the fine line still appear on my forehead as well.I had used lots of brand name moisturiser and wrinkle cream but none of these works.I have finally found the best fine line cream for my face.According to some Magazines,the best thing for wrinkles is using SPF sunscreen protection to minimize the sun damage on the skin.Few weeks ago,I've bought a set of Elizabeth Grant skincare treatment.I use it everyday and noticed a big difference.I fell in love with this product.My face complexion look healthier,brighter and the fine lines are diminished.I used to like Oil of Olay,Nivea Q10 and ponds products but I think Elizabeth Grant is worth to buy because the products contain Torricelum.

Torricelum is a formulation of vitamins, minerals and moisture enriched with substances.Luckily I don't have skin allergy,if you have skin allergy try not to use.If you have sensitive skin,try not to use Nivea Q10 because my mom used that before had skin reacted badly.The Elizabeth Grant Skin Care Treatment Line which is hypo-allergenic and well tolerated by all skin types including sensitive skins and combination skins.

Tips

Don't put heavy moisturisers around the eye area as it'll make it puffy.

Moisturiser your skin everyday.

Do not smoke

Drink lots of water and eat get your vitamins A,C and E becasue antioxidant is very important

Stone of Heaven

Asian people believe that wearing jade is the good means of which people will be protected from bad luck, evil spirit and danger.Some Jade ornaments are used to symbolize wealth.But how to know if a jade bangle is real and not fake?My mom bought two Jade Bangles in her friend's Jade store.She told me that her friend gave her special discount on each of this bangle for only RM170 each.I think that's a bit expensive.I sell jewellery before and I know the rough cost of the Jade.I know she wants to buy something for me and my sister for souvenir.My grandma loves to buy Jade.I got a lovely Jade pendant from her as a wedding gift.Real jade can come in a range of colours, from a green that is almost white to a green that is almost black.I am only talking about the basic Jade.It's hardly to compare the Grade of the Jade in bare eyes.My grandma believe that if the colour of the Jade turn darker that means it's real. Since Jade is a stone, it should feel cold even on a warm day.But to be completely sure, take it to a Jewellery or gemologist for a spectrograph analysis.You know we can buy those basic Kwan yin or Dragon Jade Pendant for less than RM30 each from the supplier?It's the most basic Jade the and the carving is gorgeous.One of my friend who is Jewelry wholesale gave me a little tips on buying Jade.He said China supplies small amount of Jade nowsday because they isn't any Jade stone left and most of the great and real Jade are from Burma.

Type A or Grade A
Natural Jade without treatment.

Type B or Grade B
Natural Jade treated with polymer.

Type C or Grade C
Natural Jade treated with enhanced color

Is wearing red all right

Yes!It's spring sales.I don't pretty like to wear red but who couldn't resist to grab this dress with just only CAD 4 dollar.It's made of polyester, super comfy and made in Korea.The style, cut, and material is pretty casual.Do you think this is the perfect color to wear regardless of the season! I always find red is an old color that used to be fashionable but not now but it seems that most of the fashions store are selling red dress.Is wearing red dress is for married woman only?The only thing is that the color RED.I don't think I will gonna wear this dress.Nope not me!Too scare to wear this out.Will keep this dress and give it away as a gift I guess.
