While the Receptionist is out for lunch, the office phone rang so I picked up:

Fyi, that is not my son and his Mama need to thank me too.

Through blogging, I have made lots of friends all over the world – America, Thailand, United Kingdom, Singapore, Phillipines, Indonesia, Korea, Australia, Japan, etc just to name a few.  However, I have built a very close friendship with someone from Melbourne.  We have never failed to check out each others blog and we talk almost everyday on MSN too.  Well, his birthday is just around the corner and I thought I’ll surprise him with a very special gift instead of just a plain card.

The only way I can think of is to order a gift from an online store in Melbourne. This blogger loves wine and he has a whole lot of collection of vintage wines.  I am sure that would be a very perfect gift to him.  Upon checking on their webpage, I think a Wine Gift Baskets is rather quite common nowadays.  The one that caught my eyes are Vintage Wine Barrel that came with 2 California wines in a very attractive wooden barrel.  I totally love that!  What’s more, they accepted payment in paypal too so it is very convenient for me.  I can’t wait to surprise him with the gift now.

Me: Di, show you something. Nah!

Daddy: (face liven up) What is this! What is this!
Princess: Baby!
Daddy: What is this la.
Me: Baby lor.
Daddy: You sure or not.
Me: Sure! Baby!
Daddy: How long already ah? (getting excited)
Me: You slowly wait la. It’s a fibroid!
Daddy: Chehhhhh…

You see hor, now only I know Hubby really looking foward to no. 4. So scary! But then hor, when I told him it’s a fibroid, he don’t even pity me. Alright. If you see clearly in the above ultrascan, you should be able to spot a white circle. That is the fibroid. That should explained all the blood clot and heavy bleeding. What a life being a woman!

And few hours before I learnt I had fibroid, I just booked the ENT Surgeon on Saturday for Prince. He needed some small surgery in his nose to ‘weld’ some burst blood vein. Aiyah, I don’t know how to put them in medical term. I just know I have to go to the hospital at 7.30am and see a wailing child strapped up on the OT table. I’ll write a longer post with more details on his bloody nose after the surgery. Nothing to worry as this is not a big issue. So if you were to ask me how was my day? I would say I get double blow in a day. So, how was your day?

Women actually doesn’t mind spending lavishly to make themselves looks beautiful. Can’t deny the fact cos I am also one of them from investing in health supplements to cosmetics and beauty products. I do believe if you pay peanut, you get peanut job done.As I want a quicker result, I spent twice more expensive than others which is displayed on the shelf, I have faith that this time lipovox will work for me as it says here, “Work wonders for weight loss, acne and wrinkles”. Woohoo!

Ever since I bought a 50mm F1.8 lens, I have been neglecting my 18-55mm kit lens that came with the dSLR unless I need to take a panaromic shot. Till lately, my youngest Sister, Janet share with me a new trick using the 18-55mm lens to get a crisp and super clear close up shot.

The above pic is shot using 18-55mm lens at a distance of 3 inches away. Some distance similar to my Sony T-10. Now, this is how you do it:

Follow the red arrow indicator. Switch your lens to MF (manual focus). Aim camera at your object and focus the sharpness by moving the front portion of the lens and not the center as that is your focal zoom. Very simple isn’t it? Try the trick. I’m sure you will love it. With this, I don’t have to spent few thousand ringgit on macro lens. Now don’t say I never share with you guys any good tips hor.

Our company rely a lot on computer rentals whenever we held any company conference, meeting or training. As this is something like twice a year event, it is not wise to spent few thousand Ringgit for a machine as we know technology advance very fast. Renting a desktop cost us about RM200 per machine. The price is rather affordable compare to buying a new unit.

I made triangle onigiri using the sushi mould with a piece of pizza flavored sausage on the center. I also cut out a stripe from the nori sheet to wrap around the edge.

I know kids don’t fancy rice too much so I gave them more sausages on the skewer and some baby carrot. Far back is an orange.

When kids started to grew up, it is good to let them handle a little responsibility like not sharing a same luggage space with the parents.  Or I am thinking, I don’t think it is a good idea to squeeze everything in a big luggage for the the family of 5.  Getting each of them, age 6 and 8 years old a kids luggage is a good idea.  They are basically smaller in size, light, colourful and trendy.  It is such an eye catcher!   Further more, the disney luggage with wheels is now being slashed off it’s price from $110.00 to $19.90.  Isn’t that a steal? They love them so much and pulling their own luggage at the airport makes them feel like an adult.  My 6 years old even try to trick me by letting him holding his own passport.  No way Son.  That, we can wait!

(Note: Manglish post ahead. Anyway, today is Friday ma so let’s chill a bit, ya? )

Many, many moons back, I attended my school’s Alumni makan-makan gathering. This pic was taken by one of my friend, Justin, who is using the what-what-tau-hin-hin filter.
