Beware of Scammers
01.20.12 |Living| Permalink | Comments Off

It is so sad to see so many con artists on the Net especially those Nigerian’s email. The other day I posted some stuff I want sell on mudah.my. After posting it, I received many emails saying they are from UK/London or abroad wanted to buy my stuff. But they want me to ship to Nigeria or South Africa. Yeah right!

Anyway, I told them straight that I do not do any shipping outside my country. Yet, they still email me back. Can’t they take hint that I know they are cons.

I am glad I read one article here:http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/3887493.stm, someone actually able to con them back. As a Chinese saying goes “If you don’t taste chili, you don’t know that it is hot”

So beware of this scammers out there especially if you are selling stuff on the Net!

Gardening

I love to look at plants and I am glad I have a small garden. However it needs to be managed properly. I don’t have any extra time to do any gardening. I wished I had more time to spend in my garden.

I also need a compost tumbler to put all my compost inside to make fertilizer. This is one good way to recycle your compost. I am sure your plants will love the compost fertilizer.

Little Memories

If my grandpa was alive today, he would love to have these backwoods cigars free shipping. Once in a while he will smell his cigar before lighting it up. Then he will tell us some stories of his old days. That’s how I remember him. Maybe I was very young at that time, I couldn’t remember any of his story.

Besides that, he has a pet monkey. I like playing with his monkey. After he passed away, his monkey was passed on to my mom. We took care of it. It did live a very long period of time.

It is just 2 more weeks to Halloween. Have you gotten your costume? If you do not have time to shop, you can go online to order. You get free shipping if you purchase over $75. I saw some cool and sexy costume for ladies, like the sexy maid costume from LingerieDiva.com. I am sure you get lots of candies with this one.

Besides that, there are others like fairy, firefighter, bride and lots more design that are very pretty and attractive. I like this one here:

RC Toys

My little girl is asking me to get a remote helicopter for her so she can fly it. When I was in US, I did see a lot of these remote helicopters for sale. One of the sales man told me that the cheaper ones do not last especially when it go crashing to the ground or hit something hard. However the good ones are really expensive. I didn’t get any.

Maybe those electric rc trucks are more reliable. By the way, Queensbay mall have a open track for you to test out these remote toys. You can even race your cars there.

Cool Custom Wheels
08.26.11 |Living, PP| Permalink | Comments Off

I didn’t know that you can have cool car rims until my 4 wheels were stolen. Yes, many years ago, I parked my car outside my house and next morning my dad screamed when all my 4 wheels were stolen.

Imagine, my car was park on a slope, yet the thief can jet it up and take away all the wheels. They left 2 jets to support it. How crazy can he be?

Anyway, I reported to the police and went shopping for new wheels. I wished I had known the beyern custom wheels, they have really cool custom wheels. I drove a sporty car too, it certainly add style to it.

After that incident, my car is parked inside the house rather than out.

Cell Boosters

I really hate it when I cannot get phone signals at part of my house. Many of my friends have complained they cannot get me. I wished I have a wireless cell booster to boost up the signal in my home.

I like the iBooster for iPhone. It is a plug and play booster with no installation required. However it is only for 2G and 3G. I wonder is there a version for iPhone 4? I must go do some research on it. If you have use one before, feel free let me know if it works.

Night Driving
08.11.11 |Living, PP| Permalink | Comments Off

I do hate driving at night in US. I got used to the bright streets light here. In US, street lights are rare. When driving there, I can only see a few feet away. One thing good is that people do not jaywalk there because the street is very wide. Every time I drove at night there, I do wish I have anOff Road Lights on my vehicle.

At one time, I made a wrong turning into some residential area with no lights at all. Worst thing, it was raining heavily. I am so glad I made it out safely, thanks to the GPS.

I support recycling, trying to create less trash. One of many ways is to use rechargeable batteries and charger. I am glad I got a good rechargeable batteries brand. I have been using it for many years.

Besides rechargeable batteries, I sent aluminums cans, junk mails papers, newspapers and other recyclable materials to recycle centers. I am glad that I found one collection center not too far from my home. Let’s recycle to reduce waste.

I love these flower arrangement designs from EZBloomers.com. The flowers arrangement is so gorgeous. Kudos to whoever that did it. Now they made me want to take up floral arrangement.

I like their plants blooming products too. Tulips are my favorite. Sigh, I cannot bring it here. If tulips are able to gloom here, I would plant it all over my garden.

I believed their floral arrangement value is in every designs I see. I would recommend anyone to get flowers from there. On top of that, you do not need to pay substantial fees for middleman. No service fees and more value. In addition, the arrangement is made to order and you can order whatever design you want. Anyhow I love most of their designs.

Space Issue
06.18.11 |Living, PP| Permalink | Comments Off

My house is always running out of space. Storage is a problem because my property is not so big. I wished I have a bigger land that I can ask those steel buildings maker to build a garage for me.

Those who are living in US are so fortunate to get land space for a big playground for their kids, gardening space, garage space and a patio too. Most of my friends who migrated there have those. Maybe I should move out of the island when I retired.

Power Outages
06.18.11 |Living, PP| Permalink | Comments Off

I can feel that the weather here is getting hotter every year. The worst is when the house is heated night time and power went out. That’s when I wished I owned a yamaha generator to at least power up my fan or air condition.

I am glad we don’t have many power outages here. Talking about outages, I was in Genting and the power went out. Fortunately for us, we were in the hotel room. I heard some ladies chattering outside where they cannot get into their room. The door was with electronic locks. It was total darkness and the lift wasn’t working. I wonder what do you do? Thank goodness, the power came back on after 5 minutes.

Dream House
06.15.11 |Dream, Furniture, Living, PP| Permalink | Comments Off

Having fireplace mantels makes the house so warm and gorgeous. If ever I migrate to another country, I probably will pick one with 4 seasons and a house with fireplace.

You can choose from so many styles of fireplace at Mantelsdirect.com. There are different types and colors. You can pick wood, stone, marble or gypsum. I preferred stone material and even with stone, you can select from 8 different colors.

I can just look at those burning logs and sip my hot tea, isn’t that great?

I used to play tennis when I was in University. However I find after a long game, my elbow would be very sore. I wished I had Aircast pneumatic armband to comfort and provide a cushion for my muscles.

The innovative Aircast aircell technology enables compression where it is required. It is also made by breathable material. It is also easy to wear with the Velcro strap. I believed with this pneumatic armband, I can play tennis as long as I want without a sore hand the next day.

Hair Loss
05.21.11 |Living, PP| Permalink | Comments Off

Every time I comb my hair, the amount of hair on the floor is just frightening. I must seriously look into some hair loss products. It only happens after I gave birth to my children.

I am glad the hair is still growing back on my head. Just hope it doesn’t stop doing that. However, I still want to prevent hair fall. I hate sweeping them after I comb.

My kids are always fascinated by the bike racks on the cars. Every time, they see one, they asked me to get one of those, so that they can put their bicycle on it. I heard of the thule bike rack and it is easy to install. You can also check out which racking system is suited for your car.

One of these days, I must pick a nice country and do a bike trip. Places like New Zealand will be good and the scenery is beautiful. I am sure my family would love it.

Home Ideas
05.17.11 |Living, PP| Permalink | Comments Off

If ever I have a bigger place, I probably would put a billiard table at my recreation room. I know where to get great deals on billiard supplies. The other day I visited one of my friend’s home in the States.

What I like about his house was he has 2 living rooms. One living room he made for his children and friends to hang out. It was a great idea. They will have their own privacy with their friends under the same roof. I like that!

If only I have a bigger place, I would do the same.

Beautiful Outdoor Lighting

During the Chinese New Year festive month here, you can see a lot of the homes at my neighborhood decorated with very beautiful outdoor lighting. You have to see it to believe it.

Each house was decorated with very colorful lights. It does give you a very happy feeling and indicate it is time to celebrate. It is like walking in the street of lights. I hope they will do it year to year.

Besides the light, to add on to the celebration was the fireworks. It is played for 15 days throughout the festive month. I cannot wait for the next Chinese New Year to come.

Elegant Boots

I need one of this english riding boots, isn’t it cool or what? I tried on a few when I was in US shopping in the shoes section. I quite like it but I didn’t buy because in my country, the weather is not suited for this long boots.

However, I got the ankle boots which is just as fashionable and elegance. I wear them to work because it covers my feet. In the place where I worked, you need that. I saw many ladies wearing shoes or heels that are not suited for the factory environment. In one incident, there was a lady who hurt her toes in the production area. It is better to be safe than sorry.
