my idea of a fantastic holiday

Airasia is offering such a big bargain on their air tickets, and i really feel like booking a surprise trip to bangkok for my hubs and our little boy to spend our new year. my sister told me how those shopping complexes mushroomed over the year, and there are endless of retail store i can go, even at midnight.

and then, there's the chatuchak market where they sells souvenirs, decorative items, food and everything else under the sun. the weekend market contains more than 15 000 shops and stalls, has over 200 000 visitors each day, so count me in one of these weekends ok.

well, if hubs is too lazy to come shop with me, he can laze all day at our rented apartment, with our little boy of course. i'll be getting one of those luxurious Holiday apartments so my little boy won't be confine to just a tiny room, daddy can play tom and jerry chase with him while i shop. they can watch satellite television together or just put the barney dvd on play. call for room service at dinnertime when they're hungry, cos they can be sure i'll be shopping till midnight.

girls and handbags

handbags!

that's the one thing most talked about among girls. trust me, we don't talk about sex or even our crush that much. handbag tops it all.

one day, i heard that my sister bought a prada for herself,then another day, my cousin's boyfriend got her a LV handbag for her birthday. and me, last year, my hubs went to china and got me a handbag that looks almost like a cheongsam, with those butterfly buttons and all. i'll not be seen in those, but i do appreciate his thoughts of cheering me up with a souvenir from china. hubs, if you're reading this, they have at least nike everywhere you know.

girls and handbags, almost inseparable. even online, there's a hive where all the handbag shopaholics gather to check and chat about the hottest handbags in town.

if only hansen and gretel see this

christmas tree, they all look alike, no matter what lights and ornaments you decorate them with. green balls, blue lights, pink angels, gold bells whatever. only thing that differentiate them is some is awesome and some is fugly.

this bun decoration i saw in mid valley over the weekend caught my eyes, if not my heart. imagine isn't it. the decorations are by bread-talk, a famous bakery in town, and we're talkin about real buns and baguatte here. even the swing, if you did noticed, are bread swivels all across it. looks yummy like. no wonder hansen and gretel got caught by the old witch with the candy house. i'd be tempted too, if i'm as hungry as them.

has this got anything to do with feng shui?

sometimes our indifference can really drives me nut. i'm talking about none other than my beloved hubs. i have a very creative side of me, which i love to explore. i love to reposition my furniture now and then just like an interior designer. i also love to decorate my home with nice frames and beautiful things like martha stewart. i paint the house with color i adore.

my hubs, being the typical china man with no sense of decoration or whatever, cannot sit back and enjoy my hardwork. in fact he has to lecture me on how certain things affect the 'feng shui' in the house. feng shui is something i never believed in. so i don't care.

so if we're going to move to a bigger home in the future, be it designing Log Home Plans or Ranch House Plans, i can be sure he'll have the architect to design every corner of the house as feng shui worthy. in fact, there's a better idea. we can download any luxury home Plans we love from houseplansandmore. it comes with a detailed floor plans to help people visualize their new designer home. with a floor plan, the feng shui master can then evaluate the entire house to his heart's content, then leave me alone in peace for good. isn't that just great?

it's not snowin, it's only rainin...

it's december. and it rains everyday come december...what a wet day everyday. the laundry is still wet, hangin by the rail. this time of the year, i always have the urge to rush out to the electrical store to grab a dryer. so that all the clothes would be dried to perfection. like a roast chicken is a 200 degree celcius oven.

i hate damp clothes, no crisps and no nice floral scent when you put it on. but on thing i love most about december is this is the month my precious little angel came into our lives.

God's greatest blessin to all mankind, the little ones.

keep the love sparks, go honeymoon

now says who honeymoon is only for newlyweds? for me, i think a lovely couple who has been married for over thirty years can still go on a honeymoon. the most important thing is a relationship is that the couple is still very much in love. of course there need to be a lot of tolerance to make a relationship work.

when my little boy is a little older, i hope that my hubs will bring me on a honeymoon again. just the two of us. afterall, honeymoon is for couple, it's not a family affair. A lot of couples now opted for a simple memorable wedding in other people's land, some go as far as Jamaica and or in the Carribean for their dream destination weddings. Now that we're married, we can at least book one of the many all inclusive honeymoons package from Superclub.

when a marriage life gets too routine, especially after having kids, many couples tends to take each other for granted, and spend lesser quality time for themselves. that is how a relationship sparks wears off. i don't want that to happen. never. so i make a point to hubs that this family exist because we first love each other and that our love still matters. so let's go honeymoon, darlin.

the shopping cart that rocks

my eyes are lookin high up, at my cousin zee. first she ran a shopping spree. once, then twice, then three times and from there, she set up her own online boutique. it's only been a couple of months, all the hardwork and sleepless nights is finally seeing results. what impressed me most is the fact that she did everything herself, from the designing of the website to implementing all the ecommerce software. my! if only i'm half as good as her.

as if running a one man show on her online store is not stress enough, she told me few days ago that she just registered a domain to start a wholesale boutique. tell me if that is not a super multi-tasker. fantastic. as we were chatting, she told me she's looking for a shopping cart that has a better functionality that the one that her online store is currently using. i said to her, i reckon Ashop is good, she said impressive. for someone as good as her to say that, that shopping cart software sure rocks.

just go easy on it, kiddo

i figured if i go a little flexible on the parenting rule, i'll be a happy mommy with a happy son. so far, it works. sorry if you're a parent who is 102% against little kids eating whatever candy or sweets, then we sure are not sailing on the same wave. in my boat, my kid gets whatever candy he wants to eat, be it candy bar thanks million or door gift sweets. because i make sure he eats it moderately, not like a pooh bear.

everyone loves getting candy for him, even my sister will save the bridal shower candy bars for him when she attends a friend's bridal shower. i only need to make sure he brushes his teeth at least twice a day, more on a sweet tooth day. i just have to think how much i love sweets when i was little, and how adults are so against us taking sweets. so what we did was eat them too, but just that we lied saying we didn't. that's not very nice isn't it?

so me as a mother, i'm trying to let my kid explore things on his own and eat things kids love to eat. like i said, moderately. so if you want to offer my little boy a personalized kids candy bars, be my guest!

just go easy on it, kiddo.

i'm dreaming of a white christmas

singing along to michael buble's christmas song.....

i'm dreaming of a white christmas....

and yes, i can only dream unless santa is very kind to drop me three plane tickets and a week of free stay at Aspens 1 , at the edge of the Whistler Blackcomb slopes for me and my family to spend our christmas. wait a minute, hubs could be my santa. who knows, he might love this idea too.

spending christmas day away in the snowy mountain is the most enjoyable because for one, the snow makes it all feels like christmas. and secondly, we could go skiing and our little one could play on the sleigh. and best of all, at Whistler lodging, there is wireless internet connection so i can stay back in the cozy lodge and blog to my heart's content.

oh santa hubby, please make my christmas wish come true. all i want this year is a white christmas. Holiday whistlers has the most amazing holiday ski package, i guarantee you'll be paying for the best price for the Whistler accommodation. Now can i go ahead to book the plane tickets?

my little boy calls it baby motorbike

on our last rally trip to kuantan, we saw two of these mini bikes and my little boy got all excited over it. he keep saying baby motorbike. well, the riders are no baby, they are adults. one of the rally team brought two units of their pocket bikes to the rally service park so that they can get to one place and the other within minutes. it saves time, as you know, in rallying every second counts.

there, i was wondering where they got those cutie Pocket Bikes, the other one even look like one of those Mini Choppers. coolness. no matter where they bought it, i know i can find it online, and i did. apparently, it comes in either gas powered or electric bike, and it comes in all sizes too. talk about father and son on a motorbike adventure, or a ride at the park. when my little boy is a little older, hubs might even get one for him. believe me, he said he's going to get a go-cart for his precious son next year.

but i'm somehow against a three year old on a go-cart. moreover, my son. maybe when he's at least 5, i'll reconsider. but if hubs really want something he can play with, he should get himself Super Pocket Bikes for now. after his ducati, he can handle this one like a toy.

from a hero to a sick cat

since his pneumonia episode, hubs has been the weakest link in this family. he can easily catch a cold if the air conditioner is a little too cold at night, followed by mild fever. the antibiotic he took was the culprit, it weakened his body and his immune system. just like what a sick cat looks like.

after he recovered from pneumonia, i've been boilin chicken soup with ginseng and bird nest for him, he also takes one multivitamin, one vitamin E and three colostrum tablets everyday. one would have thought that is more than enough to make him a strong man, because i thought so too.

imagine my surprise when he told me that he might need an appointment to see the doctor again. he hasn't been feeling his best even months after his pneumonia recovery.i'm not sure if it'll help if i get him some kratom, a type of botanically product from plants that possess healing properties. maybe on his next visit to the doctor's, i'll get the doctor's opinion on this.

my little boy and kiddy rides

what i love about my little boy in a kiddy ride is that he doesn't fuss over a stationery ride. he loves sittin in there, turnin the steerin right and left, make his own sound effect. boooom..boom...
if we ever insert a coin and suddenly the kiddy ride moves, he'll jump out right to my chest and hug me. what in the world is so freaky about a movin ride?

daddy once told me he freaks out over things that is not secured on the ground and that it moves, like a roller blade or a cable car hangin in the air. now, we know why.

when you're sick of sudoku, try playing poker

my aunt will be back to hanoi tomorrow afternoon. her hubs is on a 2 years contract, on some construction and development project. she told me how boring she is when her hubs goes to work. with no where to go shopping and no interesting places to visit, she usually just rot at home waiting for the clock to tick.

people rarely own a car, with the mega chaotic traffic, having a car is basically pointless. partly because the people there are too poor they can only afford motorcycle or a bicycle. her hubs has a motorcycle he rides to work. so imagine my poor boring auntie playing sudoku at home all day long.

she doesn't know how to use a computer, so imagine my surprise when she told me she sometimes play online betting to kill time. her hubs taught her how to get online to bet365. she's only into playing poker, those interactive games and jackpot, not those sportsbook betting. time flies when she's occupied playing poker while waiting for her hubs to come home.

from my little point of view

how different are we? i mean the asians and the westerners. for us asians, we prefer to live with our parents for as long as we can, even after having our own family with a bunch of kids. we seldom consider moving out of the parents house just like the westerners do once they graduate and starts working. the westerners love the freedom they get, provided that they are financially stable to support themselves. and then there are their parents, the elderly who lives alone or as a couple. and they seems to be doing great without their children by their side.

i've seen many english elderly people manage through their daily lives alone, take short trips to the supermarket, strolling at the gardens in the evening, go to church alone on a sunday morning, they live by without their children by their side. but then, there are also those who are too old and perhaps lonely ones who cannot manage to take care of themselves, so living in a nursing home is by far the best option.

with good facilities and good medical care staff, they are well taken care of. their children do not have to worry about them leaving alone at home, for most of these elderly living at nursing home is much happier living together with their old folks friends.
