Home Furnishings and Decor
Now that we have our own house and home, we realized that deciding what to buy is really complicated and difficult. You have to consider the price, the style, the quality and the user friendliness. Especially while comparing the price, its often tiring running from place to place just to compare the prices and colour for comforters or lamps.
However, this must be done as the decision involves spending money and some items just stay with you for a few months or even years. Just like renovating houses, the owner must like the decor and features. Otherwise it just defeats the purpose of spending so much money to have your own house.

Lightings affect your mood
Recently I found out that the lightings, will affect our mood for the day/night significantly. Just like how pubs play with dim lights, skin care centre play with white lights for the professional look and furniture shops play with warm/yellow lightings for the homely look. We can do some planning for our homes so that we will always be comfortable and happy at home. There is a Chinese saying that means when things go well at home and a person is happy, and then the person can excel in other areas such as health and work.
For example, good vanity lighting can relax our mind while bathing or compliment us as we make-up for a dinner night out. Warm yellow lights at the corner together with a bean bag or a cup of tea can help us to de-stress from a hard day's work. People who love the Victorian or Vintage look can go for Progress lighting. People with unique collections like figurines or utensils can draw more attention to their prized collections with under cabinet lighting. Doing up our homes the way we love is very important as our homes should be the place where we belong, feel at ease and would love to return to. Hence it’s very important to plan before renovation or choosing the furniture and lights.

Hey~! I am a FB!!
I'm being featured in Blog2u~!
Blog2u is a service that brings together advertisers and bloggers. Now, whats so special?
Like I've mentioned before in Yebber and other places, blog2u is unique and I did not say this because they featured me. These are my personal experiences.
It tries to ensure the best for bloggers by providing payment on the spot ie, transferring money right into your account once the advertisement/sponsored post/sponsored reviews were put up.
"So what?" you say? Well, this goes to shows that blog2u trusted in the maturity and integrity of bloggers. That bloggers would not go against their words once money was received. Now this is important especially for us bloggers as a lot of people don't really think much of bloggers.
2nd, blog2u provides great support for bloggers. I don't know about advertisers since I am not one. But bloggers can be expect replies and responses, apologies and remedies within short time frame. Blog2u recognizes that without bloggers, whatever online advertising platform will not work well.
3rd, blog2u deserves respect. Not only does it concentrate on online advertising business, it also believes that bloggers can form a community through it to help people/organizations in need. Besides featuring advertisers and bloggers, it also features non-profit organizations and other means for people to do charity work e.g the China Earthquake Appeal
I say again, I did not write this because they featured me. Rather, these are my own experiences and feelings. No doubt there were some glitches in the past and things are currently not that perfect. There are still rooms for improvements like the no. of advertisers to increase and perhaps more types of business advertisers. However, those who take notice can see how blog2u really work to solve the glitches as well as improve themselves.
That deserves thumbs up~! Ganbatte!!~!

Personalized Baby Shoes

I feel that personalized baby items seem to be the best. Newborn baby gifts like personalized bracelets that the family can use or keep as memento or things like custom baby shoes with the baby's name and birth date on. Even after the baby had grown out of the items, they can still keep it for memento sake. Personalized baby shoes can also be for the elder babies who are going to Kindergarten as there won't be a problem of shoes mixing up as the baby now has the most unique pair of shoes that only the baby has! ;D

Suddenly PR4

When my blog was a PR3... I was wondering what's wrong with Google since my blog is basically nothing much and of not much importance except to me. Later when my blog's PR dropped to 2, I was like ok~ nothing much. But when it suddenly shoot to PR4, I wonder whether the PR is that accurate. But alls fine, whether my blog is important to Google or not, its a PR10 blog to me. ;D

Of Threadless and Wongkok
Check out review!
Items came in 3 weeks firmly packed via courier I forgot it was UPS or what. Also came with some real cute stickers.
First thing we did when we received the clothes, we wash the clothes by first submerging it in a pail of water. As expected, the color ran. But that is understandable due to the color of the T-shirts.
Wore it today and walked 10 mins to the MRT station. Feels cooler to wear compared to other T-shirts. Comfy and cooling material and doesn't make my sensitive skin itch. Even my husband who doesn't like round neck Tees finds it comfortable and great to wear.
A real great buy and I absolutely recommend Threadless!
Said I will post up our photos and here they are!
okok~ a proper one:
Check out review!
Went to Wongkok Char Chan Teng at Bugis...
Food there seems to be better than the one in JB that we usually will visit when we went over.

A new way to earn~
It’s the era of earning money. Even if your blog is a personal one, you can still monetize it. There are things call blog advertising where advertisers engage blog owners to write about them. There are many ways or forms of advertising like writing reviews about the websites or reviews of their products or simply post a pre-written article. However, for a normal bloggers such as me, getting deals from advertisers is difficult. There used to be no platforms for bloggers and advertisers to meet. BuyBlogReviews is a platform that works by getting advertisers to post requests for bloggers to bid on. Once the bid goes through, the blogger gets to work. Payments are made securely via paypal every 15 days from the end of the review. You don't have to wait for a minimum sum to be reached hence you can write as and when your schedule allows and don't have to worry about not getting your payment in 10 years!

Technical Training
With the boom in technology and the awareness of what technology can do, technical knowledge is becoming the next big thing. It’s needed in all companies whether big or small, whether in-house or out source. But there are so many types of technical fields and technical schools out there; it’s a big headache trying to decide which type and which tech school to go into. IT training schools, Network design schools, Database design schools, Web-design and development, Multimedia and graphics etc. If it’s my choice, I will go into Multimedia and graphic which sounds more interesting otherwise it’s E-business as we do have plans to go into business in the future. I'm sure that will help lots. People interested can go and search at tech training site where tech schools are categorized into fields and locations.

wah la wah la Japalang Japalang!
Hi dear all~ So sorry for the late late LATE updates.
Not because I am getting tired of blogging, its because I am not getting tired of playing game.
What game??
Well its this RPG 仙剑奇侠传4 (Chinese Paladin 4) that Dar bought for me that day we went to collect gown... He knows I just love to play game from the 仙剑 or Chinese paladin series.
Why do we see your Dar's head peeping out?
Erm... well thats because these pictures are screen shots and the game is only that big. It does not expand itself. And there are no settings to do it too.

This Sat morning, I will be leaving for KL for my wedding event. Its a custom for Teochew parents to give their daughters 四点金when they get married. My parents who normally don't care about customs, decided to get me a set. I don't wear gold as they made me itchy. But I can't buy platinum too as in Chinese language, its 白金which also means the money you give to someone's family during the person's funeral to help the living with their expenses and to signify the visitors care.
---
And lastly, today's update (Mar 6) which will be the last for the week as I won't be back in Singapore till next Tues.
Had dinner at Sakae Sushi. And went about our ways to buy things in preparation for Sat and Sunday. I was like getting sad and grumpy as I thought
"huh? Thats all for my birthday??"
So as I queue up to buy bubble tea, I was suddenly greeted by a man holding a bouquet of sunflowers in front of me. Its Dar! And my favorite sunflowers! For someone who is into practicality and had to buy something I use/want (oh well... its the embarrassment as well)... buying flowers is a big project~~~
Although compared to previous years birthdays, this seems like very small and simple. But that's ok~~ we had been very busy at work, preparing for wedding and gaming. Dar just changed his job and although he did not mention much, I know he is quite stressed by it. Some more, we can't really afford a big celebration. Unless someone *hint hint* is willing to sponsor, my Paypal account is awaiting~~~

Lighting up your home
However, one must be careful when choosing the lighting of the house as one need to consider not only how the lamp looks like but also the price, the voltage, availability of accessories, the usage and location of the lamp. A chandelier does not serve its purpose when put into a house of minimalist theme. A single light bulb certainly is not enough to light up the whole living room.
Its always good to make some comparison as different shops may offer different designs of lighting or different services. When we were doing the renovation of our house, we searched the internet for articles and ideas for lightings. We also went to more than one shop to look and compare before we settle on the final lightings. Though its troublesome to travel that way, making the correct choices makes all that quite worthwhile.

Advertlets down - I know I am late to blog about this but the main aim is not abt advertlets is my title too long? lolx!
Today is one such day.
To tell the truth, I love to go out but I don't like crowds. I love to stay at home but I want something to do. Hmm .. contradictory? Not really but I am one such person who changes my mind and preferences rather quickly. You may say I am fickle but I am just restless and get bored easily.
What has this got to do with my post anyway?
Well ya see, besides those activities, I do regularly visit other bloggers' blogs. I do read those blogs I like and shun those I don't.
Even on my Entrecard sprees, I do read the random blogs I go to. At least the latest post.
So today, alone at home (and awake) I tried to visit some of the blogs I usually go to like mine! (duh~) Jojo, Dora, Janice, April, Xiaoboii, Trin, Bobo and Claire and lots of others whom I never mention here.
BUT~ I can't get to their blog today! (Cept for Trin and Bobo)
That's because Advertlets forgot to renew their domain and whenever I get to those blogs, I was redirected to the domain (main) site.
Even my own blog.....
So~ as fast as lightning or even faster~ I managed to take down all the Advertlets ad in both my blogs so that I will not lose any more new readers as readers usually get turned off if there is no convenience in reading blogs.
Those who happened to read this post and all the other blogs with regards to Advertlets, do please remove the Advertlets ads from your blogs until things can be resolved.
Dora, I'm not able to go to your blog to receive the award as it wouldn't load. I will go when I can ;D Thanks in advance.

Themuxicbox undressed! ..... and re-dressed~!
This happened when I buttocks itchy and went to dl Firefox as a browser as verdict says its faster, stronger and ... ooh~~ *wink*
As I am a very very super duper vain person, the first page I went to is of course, my blog.... to horrors of horrors~~~

My blog looks sucky on Firefox!!!
Panic took over me as I struggle to find out what happened. Luckily Fox is online .. and he told me
My blog looks suckier on IE 6!!!!!

So I tried ways and means to edit my template and because my knowledge of html is limited, I soon grow frustrated going line by line... in addition, I was damn tired from the day's activities.. and had to find out about this thing at wat? 12am in the morning!
Bo bian, decided to change to Blogger's new template and use the standard template for the moment while I try to edit or do a new template or whatever.
*If by now you still haven see my new template, you should chk your eyesight*
So I chose this Bright! Fushia! Pink! template as blog skin. Partly because there is no purple template (why??) and I can give Claire a shock when she comes to my blog... I succeeded! Yay! But this is nothing to be happy about keke...
I was like trying to do up a template when I sort of got frustrated as I felt tired lately... my sinus seems to be acting up again as my life saving device (nasal spray) goes low in supply.
So I decided to keep this Bright! Fushia! Pink! template and continue to let Claire faint... further, there are feedbacks that this Bright! Fushia! Pink! template is nicer than the crowny one. The person also suggested I should choose green (why? why? 太路米*tell me* why??)
Its not very personalised now, the template, however I will

Hey I'm a Purist Expert Socialite~!

What Do I do?
No lo Aunty ... there are University pple , there are poly grads or even Primary sch students blogging (hmm ok la she grad liao) .. and mothers blogging.. there are Bengs blogging ... or even Laozhabo blogging .. no offence to these pple I've linked up, including myself cos I am just trying to illustrate that blogging, can be done by all sorts of people, in any language and any country... as long as what they blog about, is what they really think/feel/researched (not copied hor~!)
then she continued to ask me.... "you spend alot of your time blogging ah? put so many things and pictures.... besides blogging what do you do?
If............ Aunty, I got nothing to do besides blogging, do you think I'll have things to blog about?
My time spent on my blog is long .. yes ... I do agree... but because most of my blog entries are long, alot are filled with pictures ... hence my time spent on blogging ... is to prepare for the posts... e.g editing the photos ... choosing the photos that I can put online ... (hey not every damn photo can be put online ok? Those that protrayed me as short and fat will definitely not make it) ... further, blogging is not only for people to read. Its for myself... my family... where someday, I will read back my posts and be touched further, there are somethings that you just cannot bring urself to say out ... but they can be easily written out on blogs/paper etc....
Of cos besides blogging, I do have my own life.... for the obvious, I work, eat, sleep, do housework (I am a part time housewife too) wa hahaha
Of cos!
-
-
-
-
-
No la ...
I have my own entertainment too...
I play games ... online games~
Like Maple story ...

For those who don't know, its an online game, where players take up a character or so called jobs (e.g warrior, thief, magician and bow man) complete quests.... there are options to buy their A-cash or so call money where u can then change ur clothes, change hair colour etc ... so that you look unique from others ... but hey this is just a game.... y waste money on it right? so those 小弟小妹don't go and spend so much money on A-cash when u haven even started earning k? and don't be so yaya too ... cos its not ur own money anyway.....

yup... that sexy blondie is me .. hahah in my super short shorts....
which is quite similar to Maple, although I feel the game interface is not sophisticated enough..
the storyline and quests are more interesting than maple.....
