• Do Away With The E-Gadgets

  06.18.13 |Living, Uncategorized| Permalink | Comments Off on Do Away With The E-Gadgets

  Somehow technology has stolen the best part of childhood. I am always sad to see many children glue to their iPad or iPhone or iPod or PSP or any e-gadgets. They would rather chat online than talk to their friends face to face. If you are a parent, please do limit your child’s time on those gadgets.

  Here is a video for all parents.

• Planting Basil & Peppermint

  10.22.12 |Uncategorized| Permalink | Comments Off on Planting Basil & Peppermint

  Do you know that you can plant basil and peppermint from the stem? It is really easy to plant these herbs. I do not have green hands. Often I failed to plant anything from seeds. Maybe I don’t have the patient.

  
  
  

  Anyway, first you get a basil or peppermint stem and put into a glass of water. After 1 week, it will root. Then prepare a pot and soil. You have to make sure that the soil is wet and moist before transplanting. Water it every day. You will see it growing. It is that easy and simple. See how many pots I have made from 1 basil/peppermint plant.

  I was con by the flower sellers in Cameron Highland. However I am not the only one who was con by them. If you ever go to Cameron Highland, beware of these flower sellers’ conmen.

  The seller told me that the fresh flowers are preserved with chemical and it can lasts for 1 year. I don’t have to put into water, just put in the vase. I did and after 2 days, all died. RM10 down the drain and a good lesson to be learn here.

  These are the flowers I bought!

  My family loves Crème Brulee and I like making it too. It is not that hard to make it. I am also glad that I finally found a small cheap torch to harden the sugar on the top. Here is one that I made. Sweet!

  
  

• Tempurung Cave

  Perak, a state of Malaysia has many caves. I wanted to take my family to visit one. However many have turned into temples which is really sad. I found one called Gua Tempurung. I am glad that I could experience inside of the cave.

  The wall of the cave is as solid as the steel buildings. In Gua Tempurung, they have stairs going up to the top level. I was having height phobia but after climbing up, it feels great to admire the top of the cave.

  If you are in Gopeng, you should go visit the lovely cave. By the way, there are tours available. They have dry and wet tour. Wet tour requires you to go through the waters. I went for the dry tour and easy level. It was a good exercise too.

  Here are some of the pictures of the cave.

  
  

  

  

  
  

• Work of The Hands

  I know a friend who loves to do craft. She paints shoes, beads jewelry, clay pendants and lots more. She really has a pair of beautiful hands to do lovely craft. She is very creative too. I am sure she also can make those lovely shamballa bracelets.

  I love to do craft myself. Recently I have been doing a lot of cross stitching. Sometimes when I need to be in a virtual meeting, I stitch while listening. Here are some of my cross stitch collections….

  I never knew that we can grow eyelashes until I read about eyelash growth product reviews. Does it really work?

  
  
  

  The product is very easy to use and it is like your mascara stick. Apply it and watch it grow. Besides growing, it also makes the lashes thicker and fuller. I guess it will give you an attractive look. However a word of caution, before using the product, make sure you look at the product label to see if you are sensitive to any of the ingredients used. You can just use a small amount on your skin to test it.

• How To Frustrate Your Customer?

  Early in the morning, I got a call from Citibank Malaysia. I wasn’t in a mood to talk to them because I work very late the night before and needed my beauty sleep. The sales agent and a Citibank called about my complaint.

  It all happens a few weeks back when a credit card promoter approached me, asking me to sign up for the cash back credit card. I was being nice and hear him out. When signing up, every customer would look for the benefit of what the card can provide.

  The agent told me:

  • A nice luggage bag and a knapsack for first 150 customers will be sent to me. No mention when.
  • $50 cash rebate back after 3 transaction made, to cover the govt tax.
  • Cash back as you pay for petrol (5%), groceries (2%)…etc.

  After I signed up for the card, here are the extra T&C, not mentioned.

  • Luggage bag, after 3 transactions and wait after 6-8 week, the gift will be sent. Other banks, I get the free gift on the spot!
  • $50 cash rebate after 3 transitions and wait 60 days.
  • Cash back, you get it after collection of minimum RM50. By the way, I cannot find this policy in their website. Other banks, I get it REAL TIME.

  Nice to hear all the good benefit but you still have to WAIT to get it. A few words for you Citibank, you can have the card back!
