Whenever baby Clarisse steps out of the house, she’s always pointing her finger at my neighbour and fusses to be taken near the fence. I have a cat lover neighbour and dog lover neighbour to my left and right respectively. Baby Clarisse love dogs and the neighbour’s dog gave birth to a few puppies two months ago. Whenever we leave or come home, baby Clarisse would insists to head over the fence just to look at the puppies for 15 minutes before willing to step into the house. Which seems to me more like an hour because our vicinity is a mosquito haven. I had to watch and keep those mozzies at bay. Even the repellents fail to keep them away sometimes. With our neighbour’s permission, we had even bought some dog supplies for baby Clarisse to feed the puppies. She absolutely enjoys feeding the puppies and it never fails to cheer her up. When she grows up, she’s bound to pester me to buy her a pet dog I’m sure.

Whats your favourite brand of sun glasses? Mine has gotta be Wayfarer sunglasses. Originally designed by Rayban, Wayfarer goes way back to the 50′s where it soared in popularity when Audrey Hepburn wore it in Breakfast at Tiffany’s. Wayfarer may be more than 5 decades old, but vintage sunglasses are the rage these days. Retro seems to be never going out of style. Thanks to smart and expensive product placements. And celebrities no less.

Anyone out there has any experience with power steering rack repairs? My mom’s car was recently sent in for repairs. There seems to be some problems with the steering but I wasn’t told what it was exactly. According to the shop, the vehicle is in need of a power steering rack replacement. She was quoted a three figure repair bill inclusive of workmanship if she agrees to fix it. Clearly shocked with such an expensive repair, she left with the excuse of thinking it over. Instead she’ll be sending her car to be fixed by my husband’s regular mechanic. I hope he’ll quote her a much lower repair fee.

I bumped into one of my co-worker today. I was working in the bank 5 years ago before I left to work in another company, one that does real estate and property development. Her name is Ling and I haven’t seen her in years. All I remember was she’s into cooking and made the best cookies, cakes, sweet apple pies, sweet potato pie and best of all, mooncakes. We used to praise her to no end coz I have to say, the food she made for her co-workers were really delicious. Personally, I loved her mooncakes. Especially the pandan flavoured ones. Still one of the best home-made mooncakes I’ve ever tasted. She has two beautiful kids now, two boys at 5 and 2 years of age. Asked if she still bakes and cook, yea she does, a lot less than she used too with kids around.

On my MSN contact list, there’s a bunch of contacts who are hardcore internet marketers and networking extraordinaires. I received a message this morning from one of them asking me to join Orovo, a profit sharing matrix program which sells healthcare and wellness products.
After years of dabbling in direct selling and experienced much to be desired results, I do not have the desire to get involved in any profit making programs that even resembles multi-level marketing so I politely declined.

There seems to be teeny weeny red bumps popping out all over baby Clarisse face during the past few days days. Sorta like baby acne but on some parts of her face, it looks like a rash and red patchy areas. It immediately struck me baby Clarisse might be allergic to something. No, it wasn’t some topical cream as I didn’t put anything on her face. The only suspect was some organic green peas which I bought a week ago. It was something new I’ve included in her diet and chances are the green peas might be triggering a slight allergic reaction which shows on her face. It is always best to be observant and monitor new food type in your baby’s diet. It took me a while to realise the green peas as baby Clarisse has never shown any allergic reaction to nearly all food I’ve introduced to her diet so I slacked a bit. It was until my husband who mentioned green peas that made her stood up and take notice. The condition of her face immediately improved barely 2 days after consuming green peas. I guess I’ll stop including green peas in her diet for a while and save it for later.

My husband decided to give our car new coat of paint. Not that our 3-year-old car needed one, the original metallic black looks fine to me. He wish to have it sprayed in metallic silver. No, more like metallic grey I guess unlike the usual bright silver we see on most cars these days. Also, a few months ago, a motorbike slammed into the back our car causing a huge dent in the bumper and smashed the rear lights. We fixed it but never repainted the spot. So it looked very unsightly as my dad simply patched it up with a bottle of black spray paint. The car was brought to the shop yesterday. It’s a new and professional looking setup with a huge spray booth area. We’ll pick the car up tomorrow.

After slightly more than 3 years of daily use, my IBM notebook’s battery died. We took it to the technician yesterday to have it checked because it doesn’t seem to be charging when plugged into the socket. I’ve relieved knowing it’s the battery’s fault instead of something inside my notebook, which could lead to longer repair time and a more expensive bill. For the past 2 weeks, my notebook has to be used right next to a socket which is very confining and inconvenient at times.

Leaky faucet again, barely two years of usage. The thing with leaving the purchasing to the plumber is, he’ll always install a low-grade product but you’ll be left with an expensive repair bill. This time around, I’m asking my husband, with help from an interior designer friend, to shop around for a quality faucet. Don’t mind the price, just get one that is stylish, functional and on top of it all, a high quality one that will stand the test of time. Our neighbour uses Delta faucets and it looks beautiful. And the best thing is, those stuff has never failed them for more than a decade. Even though it’s not cheap but it’s well worth the investment.

My husband started a fruit detox regime yesterday after much encouragement from me and my family. His always complain of feeling bloated and bowel problems so I thought he could try detoxification some time. Also, my brother-in-law mentioned about how his skin condition has improved after bouts of fruit detox after searching for acne cures throughout his life. It has helped to alleviate his acne breakouts. Even though my husband doesn’t suffer from acne, it will only do his body good giving it a good detox. Hope he does it regularly from now on.
