Shop for new house

My sister has recently moved in to her new house and she was so excited in getting new furniture because she finally had her own house, before this she was renting an apartment with her family.

I accompanied her to shop for furniture as her husband is always busy with work. We read some home décor magazines and also see the bedroom furniture and living room furniture on the websites in order to get some idea on what to buy for the new house.

Since her husband is running his own business and hence he needs to work from home from time to time so he would need to get some Classic Home Office Furniture as well. There are so many nice and trendy designs for furniture home office that blends in well with the other home furniture, it’ll sure make working at home a better experience.

Kaith in walker

Kaith doesn’t like to lie down but she likes to be held in standing or sitting positions. Thus I have tried putting her in the walker last week and found that she just love it! She was so happy and whenever we press the honk, she would just laugh out loud, hahaha LOL.

See the series of pictures with her happy face and smiles.

Termites problem

We moved in our new house back in 1995 and 3 years ago, that is in 2004, my dad planned to refurbish all the bedrooms as I have got married and moved out. When we moved away the furniture in my room, we noticed that there are fecal pellets at the base of my study desk and beside table. We are not sure what was it back then and thus we called a pest control company to come and check it out.

The guys came and inspected the whole house and it shocked us that they found not only my bedroom, but in all other bedrooms was also infested by Drywood Termites. Luckily, the termites colonies are small and it’s only at the wood furniture in the bedrooms, so they did a drywood termite treatment where they used insecticides to kill the termites. After this bad experience, now we have regular inspections so that we could discover the colonies earlier and avoid serious damage to the house.

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.
