Holiday mood.......

A lot of people in my office has gone on leave during the last 2 weeks of the year but I'm not one of them as I don't have any plans. So I've decided to carry forward my entitlement to next year which means I'll have a total of 23.5 days then, YAY! :)

Actually I don't mind to come to work during these 2 weeks, simply because:
1. The traffic to & fro office is so smooth.
2. The eateries are not so packed during lunch hour.
3. Office is so peaceful & quite since half of the people are gone.
4. Last but not least, bosses are not around, hehehe. :)

Caregiving to elderly people

Nowadays, a lot of women are working instead of being a housewife and so if there are elderly people in the family, more often they will be the ones staying at home. If the elderly ones are physically and mentally fit, it is fine as they can still take care of themselves. But if that is not the case, most likely we’ll need a caregiver to look after them while we are away.

Depending on individual situation, choosing the right caregiver to provide appropriate care to the elderly people is very important. We have to survey and read on the caregiving information and then decide what the best arrangement we could possibly do for our loved ones. The caregivers resources are also available which will help us to get the caregiving services we need so much easier.

To better understand the health condition of the elderly, we can also study the caregiving information which enables us to know the symptoms and stages of the sickness and learn on how to provide proper care to them. Family support and care is equally important to the elderly in helping them to live on happily.

Merry Christmas to all

Planning for holiday trip

This is a sponsored post.

Many in my office are not working during the last week of the year as they are clearing annual leaves to go for holiday. As for myself, I’m also planning for a family trip to a local destination during the Chinese New year period in February 08.

Instead of going to travel agencies, I prefer to plan my trip and do the Hotel Reservations via Internet because I find it easier and faster. I can compare the room rates offered by different travel website and choose the one with most competitive rates and great discounts. After the reservation is made, payment will also be done online and that’s it. Planning a holiday trip can be so simple and hassle free.

Annual Dinner

It was my company's 10th year anniversary dinner on last Friday, 14th Dec 07. The theme of this year is "Glamorous" and everyone is supposed to dressed to kill for the night. In view of that, boss actually allows us to leave the office as early as 3.30pm on Friday so that we'll have ample time to dress up.

I went to Jantzen for hairdo and then Bobbi Brown for make over, and reached the venue, Saffron @ One Bangsar around 7.30pm with my other colleagues.

Me in purple long dress, posing at the red carpet entrance.

Me with my other gorgeous colleagues.

I got a Robomop from the lucky draw, which I think could be more useful to my maid and not me, since I'm not the one doing house work, haha LOL.

Choosing the web host

Blogging has become very popular nowadays and I noticed that many who started their blog on free web host has slowly migrated to their own domain, maybe because it’s more personalize and easier to manage in that way. But anyhow, I am also hoping that I could have my own domain one day.

Advanced search will also be able to help us to find the specific web host that meets our every single requirement.

The Chritmas babe

This is a backdated post.

Hubby & I brought Kaith to the Pavilion shopping mall on the 9th Dec, wanted her to see the christmas decor and take some nice shots of her in her "christmas outfit". :)



I noticed that Kaith just can't get her fingers off her mouth...too yummy?? :P

Newborn to Two

It was Dillon's 2nd birthday on the 6th Dec and I have compiled pictures of him from the first moment he was born to date in a slide show. I'd like to dedicate this to my dearest son.

Happy Birthday to Dillon

It's Dillon's 2nd birthday today.

In compensation of not having a birthday bash for him, mummy took a day off (too bad daddy has to work) to accompany the birthday boy.

We woke up around 8am and after we drop off daddy at his office at 9.30am, I decided to bring Dillon to One Utama since heard that the christmas decor there is very nice. And true enough, the decor in both new wing and old wing are beautiful and the theme are very attractive to kids.


Dillon was happily running around and I was so tired running after him and I end up have to borrow a stroller from the customer service counter so that I could do some shopping peacefully. I bought some new year clothing for Dillon & Kaith. I have also bought a birthday cake for Dillon. After late lunch, we left the mall at about 3pm.

At night when daddy came home from work, we sang the birthday song and cut the cake together. Before we could finish singing the song, we already have to light up the candles a few times because Dillon was so excited and he just couldn't wait to blow off the candles again & again. LOL


Wondering why Kaith isn't in the pictures? Because she has fell asleep during cake cutting. :)

Care homes

A few of my colleagues has gone to distribute food bags to the poor recently. Most of these poor people have families but there is one old lady who is already more than 70 years old, also have cataract problem and her husband died about 2 weeks ago so now she is all alone.

Although some of her neighbors try to keep a look out for her at times but no one could look after her all day long. Sometimes she is starving because she is not capable to cook, in fact my colleague didn't think that she is capable to take good care of herself. She also mentioned that she is just so lonely nowadays and hoping to see more people visiting and talk to her.

Therefore the best we think we could do is to send her to care homes because she could live in a better environment and would b well taken care by the staff at care homes. She will also have people to accompany her and she won't feel so lonely anymore.

My bag

This picture is taken at my office pantry, and this is my cooler bag, which I'd carry to work with me everyday. I bought this bag from Fabulous mum, and it comes with ice sheets. The bag (with ice sheets) is insulated to keep the milk chilled for up to 12 hours and it comes with separate pocket to keep the breastpump and accessories. Some of my colleagues even mistaken it as a camera bag, hahaha LOL.

Vacuum cleaners

The Dyson website has a new layout now and it covers a full range of vacuum cleaners including upright range, cylinder range and handheld range. If you are not sure what type of vacuum cleaners you are looking for, just read on the information and specifications provided for each model to find out. If you are still undecided, there is a special tool on the website which will be able to shortlist the types of vacuum cleaners that meets your need and help you to choose.

Now the online store also carries a full selection of parts and accessories. Just follow the steps to select your vacuum cleaner model accordingly, then you’ll be directed to the relevant parts and accessories page without worrying that you might get the wrong ones.

There are also promotions and special package offers ongoing in the store so it’s definitely worth checking out if you are looking to get vacuum cleaners, orders above $25 will also get free delivery to your doorstep.

Birthday present for Dillon

Dillon will be turning 2 next few days and he has been longing to have a tricycle, everytime we pass by the toys section, he will point at them and wanted to ride on one.

Thus I have bought this tricycle for him. As Dillon still doesn't know how to pedal the tricycle, I tied a rope in front to pull him for time being.

He was fascinated when he saw this present, the sweetest part is that he points at it and keep saying "mummy, mummy" (he means that mummy bought this for him), this is the priceless moment. :)

Online casino reviews

There are so many online casinos out there for online poker gambling and each has different features and game structure and graphics. Before we sign up with any of these sites,we would of course like to know which one offers the best game play experience.

It is when we need to visit the review site to find out the top poker room online. The review site provides comprehensive information regarding the particular online casino which includes an overview of the site, payout percentage, bonus and promotions. It also has ratings on the software, trust factors such as security, fair play, customer support, deposit and withdrawal options. I think these are important things that most people would look into before singing up with any online casino for online gambling.

What's more, the review site has offered sign up bonus on their review page whereby whoever register through the site link, bonuses will be credited accordingly.

Reef sandals online

A couple of week ago I was looking for a pair of Reef sandals and when I went to the shop where, they don't have my size for the design that I choose. Therefore I have to go to another outlet to get it. I was so unlucky because the other outlet doesn't have the design that I wanted.

If only I go to Reef Sandals Online, it'll be a lot easier for me to get my sandals. The store carries a large range of sandals and flip flops which include Reef, Rainbow, Crocs and lots more. All we have to do is just sit back and browse through the store and choose the sandals we like, then after making the payment online, the items will be delivered to our doorstep within the next business day, and it's just simple as that.

They are very concern about customer satisfaction and thus, if we are not satisfied with the sandals purchased, they would allow full refund provided we send back the sandals with all the original receipt, tags and packaging within 30 days of receipt.

The store also has promotions and clearance sale from time to time where we could get our favorite sandals at a bargain price.

So the next time you are looking for a pair of sandals, be sure to pay a visit to Reef Sandals Online and check out their latest collection.
