Do you save?

I don't know about the rest of the stay-at-home mom, but I'm surely not one that have loads in my savings account. I know of some wives who keep a big portion of what was given to them by their husband. Well, they spend thriftily on the household while the savings in their bank got 'fatter and fatter'. Feeding their savings account instead.
So like I said, I'm not one who save a lot of money, I am the kind of wife and mother who splurge on good food, clothes and nice household items and loves decorating our home, thus NO SAVINGS! Poor thing!

I'd rather use the money to buy silver bullion, better returns, wiser investment. Or maybe use it to splurge on some beautiful silver accessories for my daughter and myself. ::evil laughs::

What was I thinking?

Call me blur and laugh all you want. I actually washed my face with this.

I mean that was an accident, not intentionally. OK, maybe I was blur and still half asleep, maybe I wasn't familiar with my sister's facial cleanser, i used it the night before, her cleanser is also in a white bottle with red wording, so maybe I wasn't thinking. I just grabbed it and slap it on my face. Hair-loss shampoo as facial cleanser. ::slap forehead::

Gold for keepsake

Our current maid has been with us for almost 2 years now, she's very hardworking and loyal to us. Her contract will be expiring soon this December and we're keeping our fingers crossed that she will renew her contract with us for another year, or more.

She has been wanting to buy some gold for keepsake. As the price of gold keep increasing, she suggested that she rather buy sooner than later. My sister and I bought a gold necklace for her last year, and now she wants to buy either a ring or a bracelet. Maybe I should suggest that she buy gold coins instead. She might not even know that gold coins actually fetch a better price, because it has currency value too.

of course we don't mind buying her another gold accessories, she has been a very good maid, and maybe gold is a good gift for her to remember us by. What do you think?

Baby shoes for Maine

Maine is learning to stand unsupported and I reckon she will be walking before she turns one. My bet is on her 11month, just like her brother.

But until she can walk steadily, I need to get her another pair of prewalking shoe. I love these few, aren't they just too chio? The red one is totally chinesey chio! And the pink one is so ballerina chio! Maybe I should just get all three for Maine.

Gold gold gold!

What a nice gold bangle this is. I personally prefers gold bangle to gold bracelet. I think it looks more elegant and beautiful. I have a gold bangle (without the blink blink of course) I hardly wear, you know how dangerous it is to wear gold nowadays, no one wants to fall victim to the snatch thief, so I'd rather see it 'sit' nicely in the safebox than to parade it. This pair of bangle is now in my wish list, when I can afford one.

If only I listened to my mom's advice to invest in gold, I would have bought many more. And maybe now I can trade in one of my gold bangle and get a new diamond bangle for myself. Too bad, I never listened. Those days, gold is so cheap compare to the price now. It was like 35 per gram and now 10 years later, it's 120 a gram! How many fold increase that is? You do the math. So be wise, invest in gold, whatever it is, buy gold coins,gold bar, gold accessories or whatnot, you'll be amazed at your return on investment 10 years down the road.

Miu miu glazed tote

Bummer, bummer bummer! Saw this bag on net-a-porter on sales and when I clicked on it, it's sold out. The moment I saw it on sales, I thought, this must be my lucky day, almost 300 pounds cheaper. Darn, not so lucky I guess. I love this bag oh so much..

Where can we get help?

Lying on the hospital bed is a friend of mine. He's in the hospital, suffers a 60% burn on his face and body, he has been in this condition for a month now. He's a tough guy, he will sure recovers from this I'm sure. He's a mechanic, the car that he was repairing caught fire, started off as a spark in the fuel tank and it exploded. Poor thing. He was in unconscious state for over 2 weeks, and has to go through multiple surgery to fix his wounds and skins.

It didn't help that his Blood type is B negative, and there's only a handful of people with this blood. There's always a shortage of B- blood in the blood bank thus delaying his surgeries again and again. And the saddest thing of all is that, he hasn't got any close family to care for him now, his mom passed away and no one knows where's his dad whereabout. He has an uncle, who is not financially capable himself.
I wonder if there's any legal representation like the Austin dog bite lawyer that we can go to here in Malaysia to fight for his case. Apparently, negligence is how this accident happened, and sad to say, the employer is not even helpful to assist him financially.
