Lusting After A Camera

I have been longing after an SLR camera for some time already and recently I saw a really nice Canon camera for sale! Unfortunately, I'm quite heavily committed financially at the moment so I guess that will have to wait!

Cheap Thumb Drive

It's amazing how cheap a flash drive is nowadays. I recall when it first came out, it was in the several hundreds but now you can buy a flash drive for less than a hundred ringgit! Isn't technology great?! I can't imagine living without a thumb drive now!

Interesting Shoes

I like online shopping and find it very interesting looking at the online offers even though I may not purchase anything. Recently, I saw a really interesting looking shoe called the MBT shoes. Unfortunately it was too expensive otherwise I might have considered buying a pair!

Construction Work

Have you ever seen contractors at work? I've seen some near my office before and the industrial clamps they use look pretty scary! I can't imagine working on a construction site and I really salute these workers for the risks they are taking.

Teenage Years

I had a chance to look back at some of my teenage photographs last weekend. Given a chance, I don't think I would want to relive my teenage years are I was overweight and battling acne! Sadly, that acne bout has left quite a few scars I'm still trying to find a suitable remedy for.

Employee Checks

The employment screening service offered here needs to be further regulated and tightened. There have sometimes been stories of maids or labourers coming in with infectious diseases which our country has managed to wipe out for many years already. If not controlled, this could actually lead to a national epidemic.

Products That Work

Have you ever found any good acne products that work? I have tried quite a number before and found that while they work well initially, they tend to stop working after a while which is a real pain! I don't understand why! Could it be because my skin has gotten immune to it?

Body Acne

I really hate body acne and I don't know why I recently have started getting some on my back. I used to have a nice smooth back which means I had better quickly start seeking some body acne treatments fast before it gets worse. Don't you just hate all these kind of breakouts. I really do!

Summer Storage

When I was a student in Australia we used to have to store our belongings in the self storage basement areas whenever we came home for the summer holidays. It was a dark place and I recall hearing horror stories of how it once flooded and spoilt thousands of dollars worth of stuff! Luckily my stuff were always fine whenever I stored them there! It did save me the hassle and cost of looking for a rental storage.

Honeymoon Ideas

I just saw an advertisement for cruises in my mailbox from Sydney to Auckland for less than RM5k! I am guessing that this does not include the airfare of getting there and once that is factored in it will work out more than RM8k already. Still too expensive for a honeymoon!

Vacation Blues

I am so tempted to take a break. Unfortunately, there seems to be talk of a recession all over the world and things have been shooting up in terms of prices. If only I have all the money I needed, I would take a Vegas vacations break to take in some lights and sounds of that vibrant city.

Cleaning Up

I spent the weekend cleaning up my place after my tenant vacated it. It was absolutely filthy and luckily we had some vacuum cleaners with us as there were cobwebs all the way up to the ceiling! I cannot understand how she has lived there with a baby with such mess and dirt!

Diet Pills

I noticed that the pharmacies seem to be selling less diet pills ever since the Health Ministry clamped down on the sale of these pills. Some of these medications do not have proper tests conducted on them and can even be harmful to the health. It could be good that these medications are now controlled to protect the health of consumers.

Furniture Sales

It is sale season in Malaysia right now. Last weekend I went to a shopping centre and saw lots of discount furniture on sale with discounts up to 70% off! We saw a mattress there that was quite nice and going at up to 25% off. I'm still wondering if we should get it.

Legal Aid

Nowadays, a lawyer seems to be required for everything. Buying a house, selling a house, getting into an accident and even for pre-nuptials in some cases! If you are ever in need of a good lawyer, why not call on a Mesothelioma lawyer? They will be able to get the job done in the time you require!

Manolos

I have always dreamed of a beautiful pair of Manolo Blahniks. The very name itself whispers of style and sophistication and never fails to put the image of stylish New York City, glamorous women and Sex And The City to my mind! Unfortunately it costs the earth and isn't something that is within my budget! :(

Planning a Home

A friend of mine has been talking about getting a house for a while already. She has been looking for her dream home and been unable to find one that she likes on the market. She was telling me that she wishes she had the money to buy a piece of land and construct the house from scratch especially since her husband is an architect who is used to drawing House Plans for the rich and famous. Apparently he travels all over to prepare Country House Plans and log home floor plans for the well heeled members of our society who own grand homes overseas. They have been said to be rather difficult to draw the homes for as they can be really fickle and can never decide on a certain agreed design! I don’t think it is a position I envy but I would really love to see her house someday when she gets around to building it. I’m sure it will be something absolutely beautiful!

House Planning

I admit that I used to be an avid reader of romance story books when I was younger. I particularly used to like reading about heroines who get swept away to lovely mountainside homes by their heroes and it was always my dream to visit a lovely rustic country home someday. Well, it looks like my dreams might someday come true as I heard that a previous boss of mine had invested in a lovely country home in France and invited me there should I ever be in that part of the world. He was quite amazing as he supervised all the House Plans from here long distance and entirely trusted his architect there in France to prepare and work on the comprehensive Country House Plans that had been finalized. I guess he must have gotten a really good architect and contractor to be able to trust them from so far. He said that these same people had helped his family member with some log home floor plans in Switzerland previously and he knew the quality of their work.

What fun to own a country house!

Buying Books

The MPH sale was recently on and my sis was hunting high and low for her favourite Terry Pratchett books. She was quite upset that some of the stores didn't carry the particular publisher she wanted as she was trying to build a collection of similar publisher books. Perhaps she should try Amazon books. I hear they have good offers every now and then.
