The recent interest in RV vehicles has sparked off a whole new business for those specialising in rv repair work. I recently saw a few workshops around our area which have sprung up. I've never been in an RV so I can't imagine if it is any different from a normal car. However, I would think some special skills might be required for those who specialise in this.
My transfer finally got approved although most of the nitty gritty terms are still pending. It is a huge relief as it has saved me a lot of time and trouble going through the recruitment agencies and newspapers for finance job search opportunities. Now all that remains is to clear up my work at this end and try to learn as much as I can on the other end! I can't believe I'm working two jobs at year end when most people are already winding down!
Do you know what exam tables are? I've sat for countless exams since I was young but have never heard of exam tables! Is it something you can actually bring into your exam or is it something totally unrelated to studies?! Do let me know if you know what it is!
Do you like designer lighting such as Arco and Dolan Designs? I do especially when they are quirky pieces that add charm to a stark living room. I've been recently seeing a very popular design that seems to be in fashion today with a hanging lamp. I think I'm going to start looking at buying contemporary type pieces from now on instead of the cookie cutter type furnishings!
I'm really adverse to smokers so I never understood the tradition of handing out Black and Mild cigars at the birth of a baby! One would think that a hospital would be the last place which allows you to smoke. I guess the tradition came about as a form of celebration especially since cigars are expensive to start with. Nevertheless, I'm sure there are better and healthier ways to celebrate the joyous occasion a baby's birth brings!
When I recently sold my car, I was a little surprised when all my accumulated junk in there only filled up one small paper bag! I didn't realise how empty my car was considering I had been using it for over 3 years already. Luckily I did not fill it up with too many auto accessories or personal stuff otherwise imagine the headache involved in clearing it out and ensuring that everything is removed before it goes to the next owner!
I went to work recently and saw my colleague using a really cute mouse pad. It had a picture of a mouse on it running around on a pad of cheese which was just too cute for words! Just the thing to brighten up a dreary Monday morning. If you're looking for great Christmas ideas, do consider getting one of these custom mouse pads. They'll make a great gift especially for tech-lovers!
When I was down in Singapore I noticed that their newspapers were full of slimming and health advertisements. Every other page featured some company or another offering best weight loss products or treatments to help a weight obsesssed country. Ironically, everywhere you turn, there's always food galore at every street corner. With all those temptations, luckily one needs to walk a lot there. Hopefully it helps to burn off some fat!
My office laptop just crashed! Just when I had tonnes of work to finish off! Worse, most of the work I was doing was saved on my personal disk space which I have no access to when using another laptop. I should have gotten a Corporate usb drive to try to save my work on but its now too late. Hopefully the IT can resolve it quickly on Monday.
How much insurance does one really need? I've been searching around for affordable term life insurance quotes but have not been able to find any good quotes. I've been told that insurance quotes increase with each passing year of your age perhaps that's why I have not been able to find any cheap insurance quotes. Do you have any you would like to recommend?
I splurged quite a bit last weekend :) Bought a pair of Fitflop sandals that I had been eyeing for a while already. It costed me a pretty bomb and several weeks ago I would have flinched at having to pay so much for just a pair of sandals. I even put back a pair of funky Naot sandals because they were hundred plus and now I spent double of that on my Fitflops! :p Oh well, they say shopping is a woman's best friend and I certainly need some fun in my life after all the other stuff that's been going on!
Have you ever purchased medical insurance when you travel? I've always wondered how important and necessary it is but sometimes things are really unpredictable and you don't really want to be slapped with a huge hospital bill when you're lying in a foreign hospital. So, I guess its good to consider travel medical insurance if you're planning a long two-week trip, just to be on the safe side. After all, the premiums are usually quite affordable.
I was unable to attend my yoga class last week as I had to work late. I've been so busy that exercise and good eating habits have been the furthest thing from my mind and I'm unfortunately paying for that now with some weight gain and a jelly belly! Sigh! If only there was a quick and easy way to lose belly fat! Any good methods to recommend?
I have to say that I have a weak spot for men in suits or tuxedos. I recall attending a formal function once in my previous job where the men were mainly clad in tuxedo shirts complete with bow ties and dinner jackets. I have to say that I was certainly blown away by how they looked! :) However, unless you have lots of functions to attend, it might be a waste splurging lots of money on a nice tuxedo only to have it sit in your wardrobe!
I recently tried the Clarins facial and came away rather impressed with their skin analysis. They don't use any high tech machines to analyse your skin but use just their bare hands! I was also pleased when the beautician told me that I don't really need wrinkle cream at the moment, just more of hydrating products. I'll definitely be trying their facials again...it gave me nice and glowing skin after that.
I was trying to clear my email box before the long weekend next week. Our online storage for our emails are only 5MB which gets filled up so quickly with all kinds of email messages and attachments and once its full emails will actually stop getting sent to us. I wish there was a way IT would increase our email storage facility but they seem really reluctant to do so. Time to start deleting those mails!
What do you think of people who put a lot of car accessories on your car? I don't know about you but I tend not to like them. To me, if you want your car to look like a sports car, save up to buy a sports car instead of adding all kinds of modifications to a normal car! Those modifications are not only expensive but can render your car dangerous as you are changing the original design, alignment and weight so I definitely wouldn't advise it!
I met up with a friend for dinner two nights ago. We had a really wonderful time catching up and chatting. I've always enjoyed dinners with this friend but that night I noticed that she was not eating much. When I probed, she admitted that she thought she should be going on a diet and asked if I knew of any best weight loss supplement she could consider. I was a little surprised as although she's put on some weight, she's still very slim. Hopefully she doesn't lose too much weight as too thin people tend to look older. The pressure women have to stay slim!
I've been using a really simple basic phone for a while already. It pretty much just allows me to make messages and calls. What a far cry I've come from my techy impressive phone I used to have! I was recently admiring a friend's Samsung phone and gosh, I realised that I didn't even know how to use it! I can't keep up with technology anymore! :P
I really wonder how the barcode system works at times. I bought some fruits from the grocer the other day which were individually coded. Although they were all the same fruit, they had different codings. Some were tagged Symbol LS2208 while others had a different symbol on it. It would probably make more sense to tag them with all the same codes to avoid errors!
