  Rainbow Loom is a big hit in US. However it has not come to Malaysia yet. Strange that it is created by a Malaysian but his home country is not selling it.

  Anyway I got another brand from ebay. Actually I got it for my little girl. I can tell you that it is pretty addictive when the outcomes of the end product come out pretty. There are many video showing tutorials of different designs of bracelets and charm.

  Here are a few that I did, cool eh!

  
  

  

  

  

  
  

• Bon Odori 2013 – July 20th

  Every year I will go visit the Bon Odori festival with my family to hunt for food. My kids will go for the balloons. This year we didn’t stay for the fireworks. I found that this year the food was really expensive and more local food than anything. I was kind of disappointed there.

  Well most people go to hang out, enjoy the Bon Odori dance and watch the fireworks. However we didn’t do that but went home early.

  Next day, a friend told us that we won some lucky draw. I was really surprised! Yeah, I won some vouchers for Sushi King and Eastin Hotel Buffet! Hope next year the food will be better….

  
  
  

• Relaxation Drink

  I planted some lemon grass at home. It grew to be a really big bush. Today I finally got time to pluck some of them and make lemon grass drink. All you need to do is boil it in water and rock sugar. You can add ginger or honey if you want.

  It can be drunk hot or chilled! The benefit of this drink is endless but one thing it will make you feel relax after drinking it. Try it!

• Efficient Packing

  I remembered the last time I had to move house, it was really a nightmare. Packing things is the hardest.

  Then I saw a video on how a Japanese professional packing company does it with their special packing materials. They made it so easy. In an hour, they cleared the whole house of things and transported it into their moving truck!

  I cannot believe that they can do it. It will take me days to pack all the things in my house. Let’s hope I don’t have to relocate.

• Haze Problem

  Yet again, Malaysia and Singapore are affected by haze. Thanks to Indonesia. Year after year, some companies have been doing open burning to clear land. They have no consideration for other people who suffer from asthmatic problem. They only worried about their greed.

  Some area has reach pollution index of above 400 which is very hazardous to breath. Masks are being sold out in pharmacy. Many are sick due to pollution. I hope Indonesia will come out with stringent laws on companies who do open burning. Or do they care? Or they just defend themselves.

  Anyway, do stay in door and wear filter mask if you want to go out. Drink lots of water and maybe take some supplements to boost your immune system. My family and I are adding more fruits and vegetables to our meal.

• Daily Dose Of Vitamin C

  I am glad I have a mulberry tree. Yesterday I got a surprise to see mulberries on the table. It is my daily dose of Vitamin C. Mulberry is the excellent source for Vitamin C. I love to eat them.

  Let’s hope my tree grow more mulberries. In order for the tree to produce more fruit, I need to prune it frequently.

  
  
  

• 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.
