New shoes for Dillon & new dress for Mummy

My friend gave me RM50 Metrojaya voucher and ask me to get Dillon a birthday gift (his birthday is in Dec). Since the voucher is expiring next week, I went to the Metrojaya outlet in BB Plaza last Saturday.

I spotted a pair of leather shoes at Small Time and it costs RM63 after 10% discount, which means i just need to top up another RM13 to get it, without thinking much, I've bought it for Dillon.

This is it, nice or not?

After that I continued my window shopping. When I walked pass Somerset Bay section, a beautiful long dress came into my sight, though I know that it looks expensive and I may not afford to buy, but I thought no harm to try on it since I'm also looking to get a dress for my company's annual dinner next month (in fact I wanted to know if I could fit into the dress, hahaha LOL). And the next thing I know, the dress looks nice on me and what's more, the dress cost less than a hundred after 70% discount!!

Of course in the end, I bought the dress and I still think it's a very worth buy. I won't post the picture of the dress here because I know some of my colleagues are reading my blog and I just don't want to show it to them yet, hehehehe.

Refurbish the old house

I used to live with my grandparents in a small town during my childhood. The house is a double storey bungalow with a garage and a huge backyard. During those days, my siblings and I liked to play hide-and-seek in the garage and we always mess up the place.

When I got back to visit my grandparents last year, the house looked so old and even the concrete garage floor was cracked.

Therefore my grandparents have decided to repaint the whole house and refurbish the kitchen. As for the garage floors they would cover it with tiles because it's more durable and easier to keep clean. So very soon the old house will have a brand new look before this coming Christmas.

Kids vs. Husband

After kids came into our life, have we really neglected our husband in one way or another? No doubt the kids are very very important persons in our life but so as our husband, he is not merely a partner but also our soul mate. As much as the kids needed their mummy, husbands need their wife too.

If you haven't kiss your hubby today, go hug him close and give him a kiss. :) Happy marriage to everyone who is reading this.

Credit Cards

Nowadays credit cards usage has become very common around the world. To me having a credit card makes my shopping experience more convenient because I don't have to carry la lot of cash with me and I can also earn reward points when I pay by credit cards.

However, many people have misused their credit cards whereby they'd over spent their budget. They tend to buy things that are not necessary or they can't afford, because with the credit facilities, they only have to pay the minimum every month. With the attractive balance transfer plans offered by many credit card companies, some would apply a 0% credit cards in order to "pay up" the debt they are owing on another card, and when this new card is approaching the credit limit, they'll do the same again and hence in the end, it has formed a bad debt cycle which may lead them to bankruptcy.

Therefore we all have to be wise and careful in spending with our credit cards so that we can avoid being having bad debts.

2 maids

As many of you know, I'm staying with my in-laws and my husband's grannny, who is already 80++ years old. We have hired a maid - Ah Lian to take care of granny and to do the house chores. After Dillon arrived, Ah Lian has an additional responsibility to look after Dillon while I'm at work, and she was coping fine at that time.

Then after I delivered Kaith, she is still running one man show taking care of granny, Dillon & Kaith, plus the house chores. Although it seems manageable at some stage, but I do feel that my maid is over exhausted.

Therefore, we have hired another maid - Ah Min to help with the house chores. A Min is from the same hometown (Myanmar)as Ah Lian so both of them get along pretty well.

It's been half a month we have to 2 maids and everything went well so far. Although we have to fork out extra few hundreds for another maid, but it actually make us feel more relief because 2 maids can take care granny & the kids better, and the housework are done more efficiently as well.

Christmas gifts for hubby

Christmas is just around the corner and as usual, I would buy a gift for my husband. Normally I'd need to spend at least 2 weekends to shop for the right gift for my husband. Since now that I have 2 kids it's a bit tough for me as I seldom have time to go for shopping.

Luckily there is Coupon Chief available on the Web site which I can get without having to waste too much time and hassle to travel to the mall.

My husband has been actively playing badminton lately so I've decided to get him the Nike Coupons and he can then shop for the sports apparels that he likes. He also mentioned that he wants to have a new pair of jeans so I might just buy him the OldNavy Coupons as well.

4 months

Chef Kaith:"I don't know what to cook tonight."

Announcement!!

Baby Kaith is 4 months old already. :)

She is now taking 5oz of milk every 4 hours and weigh a healthy 6.5kg. Her face is round & chubby, still doesn't have double eyelid like her brother but she is getting fairer now.

She can roll over already and she has a pair of strong legs, she likes it so much when we hold her at standing position. She is also very chatty (girl's nature I believe?) and she smiles & laugh a lot, especially Dillon plays with her. :)

Updates on Mummy? Still breastfeeding and trying hard to fit into her old pair of jeans.... haha

I'm with PPP

I have heard and read a lot about writing paid post even before I started blogging. After I blog for about 6 months, I decided to start writing paid post like others with the purpose to earn some extra pocket money at my leisure time. And since I see many blogger mums did well with payperpost, me too choose to sign up with payperpost for a start.

What I like about payperpost is that it offers a lot of opportunities on a wide range of topics, so basically I can choose and take the offer that is most suitable. Writing paid post actually helps to polish my writing skills in a way, it also makes me keep thinking of new ideas to write a good post. Other than making money, I have also make a lot of new friends through writing paid posts, we are always in contact to share ideas or exchange opinions and also support each other when someone needed guidance in doing paid post.

By the end of the year, I would use the money that I earn from writing paid post to buy some new kids apparels for my dearest son and daughter for the festive season. Thanks to payperpost who has created the opportunities for me to earn extra money for spending.
