The World @ My Fingertips

Hubby nearly bought me a new watch the other day. As i kept my phone inside my knapsack the other day, i had to ask him to tell me the time. He got fed up of me asking and told me he’ll buy me a new watch instead, lol. Sounds good, huh. The thing is i’ve not worn a watch for years and i doubt if i can get used to having one on my wrist. I stopped wearing watches after my first kid was born. I was afraid that the watch band might scratch his tender skin.

Well, i did find a few that i like. They are stylish, fashionable and most importantly, affordable too. The thing is, i cannot decide to buy a watch that comes with a metal band or leather band. Hubby only wears watches with metal bands as he says they last way longer than leather watch bands. I fully agree with him on that as i had a watch with leather band last time, and it had a weird smell to it. I havent found one that fits my dainty wrist yet. Let me shop around more first. By the way, if you need to get your watch bands replaced, you can go check out the link i left here in this post. Found some really good quality Watch Bands there.

Friends who drop by my place for a visit find that my LCD TV is placed far too high for viewing comfort. I told to give my bedroom a good look to see where else can i place it, lol. For your reference, it’s on top of my 3 feet high chest of drawers.

I’m okay with it as my kids cannot put their faces to the Tv screen. I used to have my old tv placed on a low tv stand inside the bedroom and my kid loves to stick his face to it. Apart from leaving oily smudges on the tv screen, it’s also very bad for his eyes.

Anyway, until the day i move to my own place, the LCD Tv will be sitting on my chest of drawers. But if i’m in the mood and feeling generous at the same time, i might replace the old tv stand outside a tht eliving hall with a new one. Saw some very nice tv stands here. You may want to go check them out.

I’m gonna get hubby to do a detox after all the year end partying. He’s been out a lot lately with all his friends back for the holidays. They’ve all gone back to work now. Boy, am i glad. Those guys can really drink. Hubby has cut down on his drinking a lot but he’s very surprised that many of his friends are still at it.

One must always take care of their health. If you own an expensive sports car like a Ferrari, i’m sure you will take great care of it too, right. You know how much Ferrari parts cost when you need to get them replaced, right. If you take care of your car well, dont you think you should take care of your body just as well too?

You can always replace Ferrari parts no matter how much they cost. But i dont think you can replace your body parts easily when they break down no matter how much money you have. So, be good and listen to me. Go get detox. It will do you good. You’ll be surprised how much better you can function after a good detox.

I’ve been out shopping quite a lot these few days. Both my kids have shot up so much that they’ve outgrown most of their clothes. Oh, i’d give anything to add two extra inches to my height, lol. Anyway, i managed to get them new clothes at ludicrously low prices owing to all the year end price slashing activities at the mall. I got lots of branded tees at around 20 bucks, and pants at half price too. I saved a lot this time. If an item is not on sale, i’m not buying it, period.

Hubby saw some nice luggage going at 70% discount and asked me to consider buying one or two. I told him we’re not going anywhere and the ones we have are still in good condition. Unless he’s taking me for a holiday, lol. Nawwwww…. dream on. School term starting soon, his project also taking off, i’ve got lots of things on my hands, you get the drift. The luggage can wait. But if you need new luggage, then please check out these here. Great designs at affordable prices!!!

This is the first post on this blog for year 2009. Havent been able to do any blogging here for the past few days due to some problems with my server. According to my webhost, it has some latest PHP codes that’s screwing up how my pictures when they are uploaded via email. He did lots of fiddling around and told me he may need to move a few blogs away to a different server in order for me to Flickr-blog again. Good, i hate not being able to update my blogs on the go.

Now that it’s already 2009, what plans have you got for the new year. I guess for moms like us, we would love to see our kids grow up fast and healthy. School starts next Wednesday for both my kids. I hope Malcolm will love going to Kindy with his brother each day and wont make a big fuss when it’s time to get down from the car, lol. If he throws a tantrum, i’ll leave the Papa at the school to tend to him.

The other day, i went over to a friend’s house. Her kids were opening their Christmas present. I saw someone received a very nice pair of UGG boots!!! I love those boots. My friend told me her brother bought it for her girl through an online store. She gave me the link to this shop where you can buy UGG boots. You can go check it out if you like these UGG boots too.

I’m still counting down to the day school reopens, lol. It’s Wednesday here now and i guess i still have five more days home with the kids. I will survive. many people dont understand while i dread the school holidays. Those are mainly parents who spend 9 am to 5am away from home at the office. They get to work in peace without having demanding kids around them, screwing up their thoughts and concentration.

As i’m a Work-At-Home-Mom, this is not a good combination at all. My train of thoughts get disrupted half the time and nothing much gets done. That’s why i’m so looking forward to the day i get back my precious four hours during the weekdays. Oh, they can have me 24/7 on both Saturdays and Sundays. Quality time or not, i am with them all the time. So, i guess my kids have me by their side compared to moms who spends most their days away from home.

The other day, a friend’s daughter asked me to help her look for information on Travel Nursing Jobs. She’s been to many nursing agencies before but havent found one that meets up with her requirements. I managed to locate one for her. It has years of experience providing hospital staffing opportunities to healthcare professionals. This travel nurse company clients even have access to select the perfect position in any one of the 2,500 prestigious hospitals throughout the United States. Hope this helps her out. If you are also looking for Travel Nursing Jobs information, the link here may be of help to you.

When was the last time you de-wormed your kids? I bought two bottles of Zentel for both my boys last week. Gordon had his already and didnt like it one bit. The other bottle of Zentel is still on my table. That’s for Malcolm. knowing that kid, he will most likely struggle a lot. Time to go locate the big syringe. It’s the only way i can think of to make him swallow the white liquid. What does Zentel taste like? It’s sweet with a chalky texture…. blekkkk.

Today is the last day i’ll be sending Malcolm to daycare. The teachers there dont know yet but i’ll leave it to hubby to inform them that Malcolm will be going to Kindy together with his brother next year. I dont know if he will like the place or not, so, i’m keeping my options opened for the time being. If Malcolm doesnt like going to Kindy, he will go back to the Daycare. But i am sure he will like the Kindy more than the Daycare center. After all, his Kor-kor is there with him for one year. Till then.

Recently, a close relative of mine fell into the clutches of credit card debt. It all happened so fast during the last few months her hubby was out of a job. With no money left in their savings, they started to withdraw money with their credit cards in order to survive till her hubby finds a new job. The thing is, cash advance fees is quite high here. Soon enough, she found that coupled with the monthly interest, she can no longer meet up with the monthly repayments.

The outstanding amount ballooned to a scary five figure that brought her nothing but nightmare each night. It’s really bad. I heard she’s been going round and round to friends, and family members seeking financial help. It’s also very unfortunate that no one is willing to help her out. Some even asked her to file for bankruptcy. I know how bad it can be should one fails to meet up with their credit card repayments. I have a few friends who went bankrupt that way, sad huh.

In the end, she was also lucky as she met someone who told her to go for Credit Counseling instead. She gave it a try and was so glad at what she learnedand the help she received in order to regain her financial freedom. These things take time but you have to start as soon as possible. Check out the link i left here in this post for more information on how you can become debt free again. Remember. There IS light at the end of the tunnel. You just have to take the first step and walk there.
