I've said it for the 100th time...

...DIET PILLS is NOT the short cut way to loose pounds! Here's another experience one of my really overweight friend that I would like to share with you. Mr A was 30kgs overweight a year ago. Doctors told him to cut down on his consumption of protein, cheese, alcohol and sugary food. He tried having high fiber, low sugar and oil free diet for about 4 months. Miraculously, he lost 10kgs. Great isn't it? Ok, on the 5th month.. a friend of his introduced him to a range of diet pills. The friend claimed that without having to sacrifice the food he love, he still can lose weight with the pill. So, he return to his usual diet, indulging on all the good food he likes. He believes thatthe pill would maintain the weight he'd lost. Sad to say, he gained all the 10kgs he had lost and not only that, he gained another 3kgs! Sigh...

Shopping for a boat for a lil' boy

My friend's son, Jason is celebrating his birthday this weekend and both X-T and I was invited to his party. Well, I called little 4 year old Jason what he wanted for this birthday. He said he wanted ANOTHER boat. Yes! Jason loves boats and ships. In fact, he loves everything that sails on water. He has a collection of boats as huge as an adult bolster to as tiny as a little match box. Oh well, since little Jason wanted another boat, I think I'll get him inflatable boats for this birthday. He has a swimming pool at his backyard. With the inflatable boat, I believe he's gonna have a good time riding on one on a hot sunny day.

Dad's entertainment box

Dad was asking me where to get good quality cables for his TV and sound system at home. The old HDMI cable he is currently using is more than 10 years old and he believe its time to replace them to a newer one. I found the online shop which sells exactly what he wants so this weekend, I'll be telling him the good news. Oh ya hor, it's father's day this weekend..maybe I should get the cables for him as presents instead ;)

There's still hope....

It's already June and in another 6 months time, we're waving goodbye to year 2008. To those who can still remember their first new year resolution they wrote in a piece of paper in Dec 2007 was to get rid of that extra pounds but till date, none of the pounds were shed? Don't worry, my friend was telling me about the best diet pills that work. It's selling like HOT cakes in the states and you might want to give it a try.

RAM issues

I think lately I'm out of ram. I tend to forget things easily and please tell me this not a sign of aging lor. For example, last week, I made an appointment with my SPA assistant and this week, I totally forgotten about my session lor. Two days ago, I fold my clean laundries and instead of keeping my clothes in the closet, I open the fridge... *puzzled*. I woke up in the morning today, trying to make myself a cup of coffee, after brewing.. I realised the coffee is salty lor. Yes, you're right, I put salt instead of sugar. Sei mou!

Progesterone cream for woman

Here's another drug recommended by my fellow buddy who's into this MLM after his form 6. He's doing very well in this business and guess what he sell? Yes,progesterone cream. It was just 2 days ago, we bumped into each other at the nearby coffeehouse during lunch hour. He was sharing with me the goodness of this product. I was told that this tiny bottle of miracle will cure PMS, cures depression, restores sex drive and even balance the sugar level in our body. Do I dare to try? The answer would still be "NO".. sorry mate!

The gym @ the apartment

I was smiley from ear to ear when I visit our apartment 2 weeks ago. X-T and I was satisfied with the renovation done inside our unit. The down lights were fixed at all the right places done by the previous owner. The built in cabinets was still brand new and before we left the apartment that day, we walked down to the club house to have a look at the apartment facilities. There's a swimming pool, a kiddy play area, badminton court and also a nice jogging track but what captures my attention most was their strength equipment in their gym room facing the swimming pool. Love it!

Foldable cool tables for the apartment?

To safe space in our tiny cosy little apartment, X-T and I was busy measuring the entire apartment that day. I wanted more space in the apartment so that we do not accidentally kick on the edges of the furnitures. We might be getting one of those cool beer pong tables we saw online yesterday. They're foldable and it's practical to keep one of these at home just in case we've a house party after the wedding ;)

My comfort zone

After a hard day at work, I'll usually can't wait to return home to seek warmth under my comforter sets. Just imagine, the minute to reach home, you take a warm shower, turn on the TV to your favourite program deem the lights and turn on the icon to the desired temperature. As you relax your tired feet on the bed, you over up with a fluffy warm comforter sipping a cup of chamomile tea. Huh.. nice eh?

Say no to diet pills

Thus far, I've lost about 20kg in total for the past 2 years. I was discussing the diet plans that I took with another girlfriend of mine yesterday and I was shocked to know that she actually lost 10kg in 3 months. She said that she took lipovox and it was the most effective diet pill she ever tried in her life. She was trying to convince me that this drug is safe for consumption but oh well, I think I will continue to stick with my healthy diet and a gym. I am just too afraid of the side effects of taking diet pills.

Endless partying...

Phew! May is always the busiest month for both XT and I. First it was mom's birthday and followed by Mother's Day party. Next comes my dear sister's birthday and there's going to be another round of celebration. This year, there will be 3 wedding parties we're truly looking forward to attend in the month of May and last but not least, we received a Kentucky Derby Party Invitations from one of XT's best friend Joel all the way from the States. Joel is celebrating his son's 3 years old party and it's gonna be a grand celebration. Unfortunately, it's too far away and guess we won't have time for this. Before May ends, we'll be travelling back to Ipoh to attend my grandfather's birthday and XT's coat should be ready by then for collection. We need more Brand's chicken essence liao lor!

Thank GOODNESS for extra PC!

I'm currently sharing my laptop with X-T since the day both our PCs decided to take their early retirement. I pity him because most of the time, X-T will leave the laptop with me and he'll return home to his TV. He's worried that there will be paid post to write at night and I ended up without my laptop with me to grab those ads. Since my parents are with me during the weekend, X-T brought the laptop home with him and true enough, there are paid post to write tonight. One of the topic was to write about Parmigiani and a few other interesting topics. Thank goodness my sister is not using her Powerbook tonight, I'm happily blogging for money here while X-T can enjoy the laptop tonight. 

Extra memory required

If only humans are able to upgrade their brain memory capacity like how we used to upgrade our computer memory, I'll do it right away! I've been so forgetful lately and I've been sticking 3M post-it notes everywhere to remind myself of my daily chores. Not only that, I've been misplacing things around the house too. For example, last week I was supposed to take the oyster sauce out of the fridge but as I open the fridge door, my mind went blank and I don't even remember why I open the fridge door in the very first place! Scary isn't it? I believe all these happen partly because there were too much things running in my mind. I need a break! Argh!

My growing pains...

Well, there was nothing wrong with my teenage years except the pain of seeing my face filled with aches and white heads during puberty. My parents would bring me to the pharmacy to try out all the face products off the shelf, consult the pharmacist, the dermatologist and I've even tried drinking bitter Chinese concoction. They've tried their best to find the best acne treatment as the condition of my skin was at it's worst during my late teenage years. Unfortunately, nothing works! Not even after visiting the best skin specialist in town. My acne problem just diminished when I hit my 21st birthday. Strange isn't it?

Property investment

Seriously, if I've extra cash in hand now, I won't even consider getting myself a bigger car or spending a huge sum of money upgrading my wardrobe. I would definitely indulge in purchasing properties around the world and one of my target place to own a property is around Southeast of North Carolina. With the help of Wilmington real estate agent, I'll just have to browse though the hundreds of homes at the comfort of my own home.

Where can I get HDMI products?

If you're looking for HDMI products and you're too lazy to drive to the nearest store to get them? Well, good news my friends! If you've been doing your Internet dating.. *ahem* and even paying your bills online, how about shopping online too? Well, X-T and I love our Internet shoppings. Yes, browse through all the HDMI products you want at http://www.firefold.com/ and just add all the IT stuff you need into your cart. Make your payment via credit cards and all your purchases will arrive at your doorstep within a few days. Easy eh?

Jewels for the gown

After three long hours of discussion with the fashion designer back in Ipoh, I've finalised my decision on what to wear on our wedding day. The friendly designers at the boutique makes my decision making so much easier because they truly understand what I want for my gown. We spent most of our time discussing about my fashion preferences and lifestyle. It only took them a few minutes to transfer the ideas on paper! I can't wait for my gown fitting day which is just two months from now and I better start shopping for the designer jewelry to match the gowns.

Stop popping those pills!

Well, I'm actually talking about the weight loss pills and you're popping everyday. Well, if you believe that swallowing pills will eventually make you lose those extra pounds, you're so wrong. Trust me, there is no short cut way to lose weight. I was once so fat everybody thinks there's an disorder in me. Well, I had the same idea as you thinking that the weight loss pills will eventually make me slim. In fact, I weight more by eating those pills because I continue to eat what I eat and my lifestyle remained unchanged. I started to give up on those pills one day and begin a good and balance diet which consist of more vegetable and less carbohydrates. I started exercising to regain a well tone body. Two years later, I successfully lose 20kg and managed to maintain my new healthy weight until today. So, please..stop popping those diet pills will ya?

The most important place of all....

......Would be my bed. Well, though I've always been a light sleeper but still, I spent most of my time lazing around in my bedroom. Well, to be more precise, my bed! I sleep, talk on the phone and even blog on the bed. Therefore, to be frank, I spend quite a decent amount of money making my bed the most comfortable place in my home. Besides a good bed frame which doesn't make squeaky voices as I toss around, I invested in a latex mattress with comes with a thick mattress protector. Lately, I've also added a sleep wedge to support my back. It gives me a better support and in fact, it give me a better sleep at night too.

Holiday destination - Sea Pines

I just love the beach! Be it a family vacation, a trip with friends or even going on a little getaway with my partner, I'll say "YES" to destination with beautiful beaches. I love the sunset gazing across the sky. I enjoyed waking up to enjoy the morning breeze while catching a glimpse of the sunrise. Its so relaxing to watch the little children building sand castles in the sand while enjoying a glass of pina colada and a good book in hand. Oh gosh, talking about the things I enjoyed doing on a vacation makes me want to pack my stuff now and head down to the beach right away. I've just discovered Sea Pines rentals where all my day dreaming could come true!
