Today is the last day of celebrating the Chinese New Year, the 15th lunar day, or what we call 年十五 (Nian Shi Wu). We’ll have another sort of closing celebration with food again.. yupe.. we like to eat. As the Chinese says 人民以吃為天, my direct translation is “Food is the people’s most important thing”.. in a not so exact term.
So tonight we are going to have a gathering with all the family members and have a feast! Yay!!
Orait.. Happy Chap Goh Mei!

Tomorrow will be the first day of the lunar calendar, meaning the first day of Chinese New Year, meaning holidays!! Yay!! We get two days holidays here in Malaysia. One thing for sure that lot of people will do is to stay awake in welcoming in the New Year. What do we do normally to stay awake? You can’t just eat your way till mid-night, or watch TV till mid-night. So one of the sure activities that we lot do is to play cards. Money doesn’t have to be involved, but is sure is a good way to stay alert and get our brains working all through because you’ll need to count your points to win. Well.. if you prefer, you can call it gambling. And this is believed to help Parkinson’s patient, yupe.. just to get them to use their brain more. There are different games that the Chinese play during this festive seasons, one is mah jong. Which to me is a noisy game, because you’ll need to shuffle all the blocks and it does create lots of noise. However, if you prefer to have a quiet game, try online casino, which give you the comfort of staying at home without getting out and it involves more people in the game, i.e. internationally. In this online casino link, it reviews all the sites that are available in the net and even show you the Best Online Casino!
I personally would prefer to play with those that I know, just to look at their expression when they win or loose.
So, have fun during this festive holiday!
At the mean time, let me grab some Chinese mandarin to quench my thirst 😉

Ya.. pretty soon, Chinese new year will be here.. the year of rat is coming.. another new year for us Chinese… and I still haven’t shop for clothes for my boys.. oh dear.. wish I can do it online using any online shop which offer fast delivery service maybe plus with a trustworthy shopping cart system and is hassle free.
Sometimes I wish I can just like “Bewitch”, with the twist of my nose and I get everything in hand, including nicely matched clothes for myself.
Well.. at least one thing I’ve done to welcoming the new year.. got my hair permed, well.. not like Gabriella in High School Musical that I talked about in my other blog, but as “si lai” as my hubby puts it.
Coming back about this shopping things.. hmm.. how I wish.. I have a butler to do all those choosing things, provided he/she really knows what I want 😉
For those of you who is doing online business, try out ashop.com.au to get a trustworthy online cart to get more clients first.. and let me know.. so I can visit your online store one day.. have a butler service even better…

I’m moving.. emm.. not exactly.. I should say I’m splitting.. emm.. is this the right word? I mean I’m having another blog .. splitting from this one, so that this will entirely be my scrapbooking blog.. probably not entirely.. probably the mix of two … but this blog has been more about scrapbooking than about life.. about reminding myself how gladeful I should be with my life.. having 2 boys.. having a family and friends.. but then again.. scrapbooking is doing that too. When I scrap, I constantly reminded about how gladful I am on my life, on my daily living.
However.. above all these, I still think I should have a blog entirely talking about scrapbooking. Maybe I’ll just start another blog now.. and decide later, see how it turns out later.. what do you think? Shall I?

I’m curious.. I get email about gambling online, about online casino.. but do people really gamble online? I mean how? Can you just flee like that if you loose? Would they be able to track you down? Would they be able to get the police to catch you if you flee? hmm… there is this casino site, pro360, which not only offer online gambling, they even listed out all the other sites that you can go! OMG.. there are so many of them. It got me thinking, what if the credit card fraud group gamble there? haha..

I think I’m addicted to online shopping. I like to see what is in my cart, calculated it before I check out and checking back with my credit card to see if they have charged and then waiting for it to come in my mail box.
I like browsing using my PC especially when the connection is fast, I save the hassle of queuing in line when doing payment, I save the hassle of asking about things that I want, I just need to do a quick search in the site concern and wuala!
Remember I’ve mentioned that I got special offer to be the first online customer of a shop in Brunei? (posted in Dec 2007) I paid through TT and it actually cost a lot for doing, the bank charge RM25 just because it is a foreign bank account!
Yupe, the site that I went to doesn’t accept credit card for payment on their website so it actually shows down the payment process and also choosing process when I’m shopping, however, mainly it is because their site is not meant for online shopping. So, how nice if they have a Merchant account with this company call A + merchant services who is a provider of merchant account and also provide Visa & MasterCard payment solutions.
Other than that, I would look for sites that are secure which doesn’t provide my personal information to any other people.
Well… let me see what is in my cart now…

That is how much time I have each day with my kids. Let’s see.. in the morning I need to get them ready to school, after getting them up from bed, brushing, eating, changing and up into the car.. that is within an hour job, no time to realy look at them and say I love them sometimes.. how sad. Maybe I should make it a point and habit to hug them and tell them I love them every morning. Then I’m off to work, 9 hours gone without them. Then when I got home, I’ll need to make sure one of them do their homework, another one take his dinner and then bath, then story time, then off to sleep. That only give me less than 4 hours. I only quiet time which is not so quiet with them cos they always got lots of questions to ask during story time, and after that is lots of request before bed time.
So, out from the 24 hours, I only got maybe up to 4 hours with my kids.. I wish I can have more, but I wish those hours are quality one instead of keep on pushing them to do this and that…

Why? Because my phone is not working again. I mean I can’t get it connected to my PC to upload photos, again! What the heck! I can do that yesterday, that’s why I’ve gone home happily snapping away photos with it thinking that I can share it here, but now it is all back to square one, I’ll still have to wait for my digital camera to come back during CNY :((
