Bath Time is Fun Time

Animals are not having it any better in this heatwave. The Star took this picture of primates being hosed down by their keepers at the Malacca Zoo.

They are given more baths than usual to keep them hydrated in the current hot spell.

On a similar note, firemen are on the alert as heat wave threatens to worsen. There has been a number of fires of late. Many homes here are not insured. Home-owners would do well to seriously take some remedial action to rectify this, afterall free insurance quotes can be easily obtained.

Friday Frolics - How Boyish or Girlish Are You?

Ooh... revelation!! LOL! Your turn..

You Are 50% Boyish and 50% Girlish

You are pretty evenly split down the middle - a total eunuch. Okay, kidding about the eunuch part. But you do get along with both sexes. You reject traditional gender roles. However, you don't actively fight them. You're just you. You don't try to be what people expect you to be.

How Boyish or Girlish Are You?

Work is Hard. Time for frolicking!

My Girlfriend makes Beautiful Pottery

Stumbling upon the AMACO/Brent website of Supplies for Pottery, Education & Crafts reminded me of a girlfriend who makes beautiful ceramic pieces. I call them exquisite artwork.

She gets her supplies from a local crafts store. I need to forward her this well-stocked supplier so that she can have a wider range of pottery supply to choose from. She is even thinking of having her own kiln so that she doesn't need to bring her pieces to fire at the craft center. Who knows, she might be able to get one there.

If you are a potter, I think you will love this site. I know my girlfriend will. AMACO/Brent stocks a wide range of pottery supplies from the many different types of lead-free glazes, including majolica glazes to clays, brushes, Brent potters wheels & wheel replacement parts, slump molds, Kilns, and more.

A little fitness goes a long way

I have not been to any mall since the last lunar year (sounds so long ago) but from what I gathered from friends and colleagues, there are some pretty good sales still going on.

Clothes and Chinese New Year cookies, even oranges are going at much reduced prices, as low as a 50% discount! If you think you need a little fitness after all those food feasts, nordic track coupons for gym equipment may be what you need.

Buy Gold Bullion

Gold is on the move again as it reaches its highest price in almost two weeks. As the dollar continues to weaken, gold is increasing its appeal as an alternative investment. For centuries, gold has been used as a preserver of wealth.

The Greek debt situation is causing a concern for investors and with no clear direction as to its aid, investors are playing it safe by turning to gold. While everyone is watching gold, China has been quietly accumulating its gold reserve.

Amid economic uncertainty and financial turmoil, gold will continue to have a positive outlook for the future. The recommendation is to buy gold bullion if we want to preserve our wealth and purchasing power.

A Golf Vacation

If an adult vacation (as in the earlier post) is not exactly your cup of tea, how about a golf vacation in the US of A? And how does a vacation at Myrtle Beach staying at an Oceanfront Myrtle Beach Hotel grab you?

There really are a number of good hotels on Myrtle Beach. Located directly on the ocean, the new SeaSide is a luxury boutique North Myrtle Beach condominium resort with spacious accommodations and attentive 4 star services. Their spacious condominiums are comfortably furnished with fully-equipped kitchens and large living and dining room areas. Just look at this awesome view from the room!

SeaSide is one of the new and better Oceanfront Myrtle Beach Hotels currently which features a wide selection of special golf packages at fantastic prices for the ideal Myrtle Beach golf vacation.

Birthday Ideas

Are you one of those who are always at a loss for gift ideas when a birthday comes around? I know of people who are like that. You too? Here are some Birthday Ideas you would be surprised you hadn't thought of earlier.

Show tickets are a great birthday idea. Shows are something that many people enjoy but do not get around to planning them into their schedule. Further surprise them by driving them to the venue and seeing their excitement when they realize what they are about to see.

A get-away is a super birthday idea. Many people are too busy to plan for a vacation so a long weekend at a resort, a one night stay at a theme park, a spa weekend, or hiding away in a cabin for a few days are all popular birthday ideas.

Great birthday ideas for mom include helping her pick up her bath and beauty products or her color refills for her printer. Same goes for dad on his birthday. He will appreciate little thoughtful gifts too such as gifts that support his hobbies or a plate of his favorite cookies.

Gift vouchers or gift cards are practical gifts too. Now you won't be at such a loss for birthday ideas.

A Day to Feel Blessed

Skin conditions, such as eczema, are tough to tackle sometimes. Though there are creams and such to treat the condition, it is best to know the cause in order to get a proper fix. However, having eczema is anytime better off than having psoriasis. I know a few people with the latter and it certainly isn't fun. And this hot and humid weather is not helping.

Don't we all take our good health for granted..

Good morning!

Friday Frolics - The Hand-Drawn Heart Test

Whoa! Nice..

You Have a Content Heart

Your heart doesn't crave much. It doesn't take much to make your heart happy. You may or may not have found love, but either way, your heart is at peace. If your heart has been broken, you are over it. Your heart has no scars. Your heart is open to anything. You have a lot of love to give to the world.

The Hand Drawn Heart Test

A Fine Line Between Insight and Stupidity

Getting Gifts for Her

The other day, I bought two different cookbooks. No, not for myself (though I have bought one of them for myself earlier) but for two friends who love cooking. When it comes to gifts, I like to get practical or functional items, something that the recipient will be able to make use of.

Don't know about you but I find that getting gifts for her is easier than getting gifts for him. Ladies, do you feel the same?

Guys, can you suggest some gift ideas? What would you like to receive as gifts?

Jamaica, Here I Come

We all work hard, though some work harder. So, it only makes sense to play harder as well. Ever thought of going on a singles vacation where good times and pleasure know no bounds?

Where you can sleep in, stay up late, give up counting calories, have a drink before noon, give up mineral water, dine in shorts, talk to strangers, don't make your bed, go skinny dipping, don't call your mother, don't pay for anything, don't leave a tip, be your beautiful self and more?

All the above are possible if you join one of those adult vacations in one of those adult resorts in Negril or Runaway Bay in Jamaica.

Lawless Behavior of Motorists shocks JPJ Chief

Thought I'd talk about the article that's frontpaging The Star today. It carries the title "Reckless lot" as it highlights the reckless and lawless behavior of road-users in Malaysia. I couldn't agree more that road-users here (read vehicle-drivers) take road-safety laws lightly. Is it little wonder that our road accident statistics are nothing to brag about? Which reminds me I am thinking of changing my insurance agent. Will need to start asking for new auto insurance quotes.

Below is borrowed from the paper showing proof of the unlawful behavior. Uh-oh, if your vehicle is in the picture, it's going nationwide and worldwide, naturally, considering that it's being read across the world where there are Malaysians.


The gentleman in the picture is Datuk Solah Mat Hassan, Director General of the Road Transport Department (JPJ). On his way from Kota Baru to Kuala Lumpur on Wed during the ongoing Ops Sikap XXI, he managed to photograph 93 cars blatantly flouting traffic rules.

(Ops Sikap is a traffic safety operation launched by the Royal Malaysian Police to ensure safety on all roads in Malaysia during festive seasons such as Hari Raya Aidilfitri, Deepavali, Christmas Day and Chinese New Year.)

The DG was shocked to see drivers overtaking along double lines, jumping queue using the emergency lane, using the road shoulder and driving dangerously.

2,968 photographs were taken of motorists committing various offences, including failure to stop at traffic lights, overtaking along double lines, jumping queue and using the emergency lane, drivers using handphone and failure to buckle up and motorcyclists who failed to put on a helmet. These photos were taken by undercover officers, the DG himself and submissions from the public. You can now do your part in keeping our streets safer by sending in pictures of reckless drivers to aduan@jpj.gov.my

Btw, the offenders will be slapped with the maximum fine of RM300.

Waistline Dilemma

Oops! I think I need to go on a food diet or maybe employ some diet aids. All these food feasts during the Chinese New Year, though joyous, are really not so good for the waistline. To make it worse, there are the jars and jars of delicious cookies in between meals.

But then again, Chinese New Year festival without all that fabulous food wouldn't be the same, would it? So, has it been a nightly "loh hei" for you, so far?

Hi, Everyone! Greetings and best wishes again for a Happy, Healthful and Prosperous lunar new year!

For those of you who are celebrating this festival, hope you've had a great time with your family and friends and for the rest, hope your holiday and/or Valentine's Day was just as awesome!

Have you started work or are you keeping to the lucky day to start work schedule? hehe..

I know that when I go back to work, I'll be missing the presence of two colleagues who have decided to switch careers. Sad to see them go but life's like that - friends come and go. We can only wish them well when they leave.

Best Days to Start Work & Best Colors to Wear in Year of the Tiger

Looks like it is going to be yet another hot humid day in Kuala Lumpur as people go about their business and Chinese New Year is barely a week away, six days to be exact. Chinese New Year falls on Feb 14 this year - the same day as Valentine's.


The Spring Festival or more commonly-known as Chinese New Year here is celebrated by all people of Chinese descent, religion aside though many mistake it as a Buddhist or Toaist festival. In actual fact, it is a festival of tradition, not a religious-driven festival. Sadly, it has been misconstrued.

Wikipedia says that Chinese New Year is the most important traditional Chinese holidays but it is not. Winter Solstice is believed to be the most important festival. It is celebrated yearly on Dec 22, give or take a day before or after, some years.

Many of us are looking forward to the celebration and the extended weekend holiday when we can dress up in new clothes, have great food feasts, get together with friends and family, and just chill.

After all the festivities, many among us would want to know as to the good days to start work to begin the new year of the tiger on the right auspicious footing. Below is a guide, courtesy of wayangtimes.com. In a nutshell, the good days are Days 4, 6, 9, 12, 13 and 15. However, if you look closer at the chart, some of these dates may be inauspicious for certain animal signs of the Chinese zodiac/horoscope, so do check it out. (The “X” denotes inauspicious start date for those affected.) I read that for small businesses, Days 12, 13 and 15 are better days to start work.


There is even a guide on the lucky colors to wear but I won't go to that extreme. However, if you are interested, you can refer to the chart below, also courtesy of wayangtimes.com. Click to enlarge image.

Collectible Art

Are you familiar with the name Shepard Fairey? No? Next question. Are you familiar with this poster?

Of course you are.

This Barack Obama "HOPE" poster was created by Shepard Fairey for the 2008 US presidential campaign for which he became more widely known.

Shepard Fairey is a political artist specialising in stencilling. He is also an artist hired by corporations for consumer campaigns whose prints are being used on t-shirts, skateboards and other paraphernalia.

Authentic out-of-print Shepard Fairey prints and other collectibles are now being offered to the public. The Obey giant prints are among the most popular art pieces. Below are just some of the prints available.

Last-minute Shopping for the Chinese New Year

Malls are bustling with shoppers this time of the year, doing their last-minute shopping for clothes and other items for the Spring festival or the Chinese New Year. The streets around Chinatown are a challenge to navigate this time of the year. Still a visit to that part of Kuala Lumpur makes for a good experience.

Each year, a girlfriend of mine would do lots of shopping including buying clothes for her nieces before she goes home for the celebration. Having been in the US for a number of years, she often compares the brands available overseas and what we have here. She said somehow the clothes overseas are of better quality and there are more choices. Not only clothes, there are more quality toys over there.

Just the other day, I was going through some toys and children's clothes site and came across some interesting finds. There is this online store that has a good range of jellycat plush soft toys and activity books that will surely broaden a child's horizons.

There is also a wide selection of children's clothes, some even organic, including brands like barefoot dreams, room seven, appaman, tea collection and more. They are clearing winter stock currently which could mean substantial savings for shoppers who buy now.

Friday Frolics - The Book Test

Ahh... it's quiz-day again. I know some of you are turned off by these quizzes. The reason behind putting up these quizzes is simple really. I am a simple girl.

Having a weekly quiz provides a pleasant break from the routine of writing. I find the results amusing mostly and thought I'd share the laugh here. I can't be putting up the quiz and not share my results, can I? I kinda think it's not nice that way. So, I hope my intent of putting up these quizzes is not misconstrued. I just want to inject some fun and a giggle in here. If you enjoy these quizzes as much as I do, I'm glad, but if you choose to skip them, that's fine too. It's a free world.

Now, let's do the Book Test, shall we?

You Are a Thinker

You tend to have your feet on the ground. You think about what's actual, and you love facts. You are a sensitive person. You find it easy to be emotionally effected by books. You are a person with many different interests. You are fascinated by everything in the world. You are a person who values your possessions. You tend to have fewer things but of higher quality.

The Book Test

If Quizzes Are Outlawed, Only Outlaws Will Take Quizzes

1Malaysia batik - new designs

Nice new improved batik designs for 1Malaysia, don't you think? Red and white. Reminds me of AirAsia. But then again, red and white is a pleasant combination on almost anything, including clothes. Looks like a good outfit to add to your wardrobe especially this Chinese New Year.


With our tropical weather, batik is a practical alternative to wearing a suit for official functions. It is a good idea to have a piece or two, just in case.

These are created by Kraftangan Malaysia and there is a choice of seven designs to choose from.

Do you drink water straight from the tap?

Yeah, do you drink water straight from the tap? I do. We are lucky that water here in Malaysia is clean enough though we have been advised to boil the water before consumption.

I'm not sure if it's a culture here or just in Chinese society, but I do know that all Chinese families (I mean local immigrant Chinese) drink boiled water - boiled water that has been let to cool.

Families in recent years have added another source of water into the household - filtered water. With pollution all around us, most households have installed water filters and they do help to eliminate pollutants making water cleaner thus tasting better.

When it comes to water filters, people are more familiar with Diamond this part of the world forgetting that there are other just-as-effective water filters. The GE SmartWater gswf Refrigerator water filter is one. So, are you using a water filter at home?

Winners at the 52nd Grammy Awards

Thought I'd post videos of some of the winners. For pure (visual) entertainment, Lady Gaga's wins hands down. If you want more of her, check out YouTube. I recommend Bad Romance and don't miss the last bit. Hilarious! And now back to the Grammys.. Enjoy!

Song of the Year & R&B Song - Single Ladies (Put a Ring on It), Beyoncé


Dance Recording - Poker Face, Lady Gaga

Pneumatic Valves and others

Buying machine parts such as actuated pneumatic valves is not as simple as buying a book, for instance. In order to get the machinery working at optimum level, quality and precise parts are to be used. It is always advisable to source parts from authorized suppliers.

The 52nd Annual Grammy Awards, Jan 31

Some of us in KL had the opportunity to watch the Grammys live this year, being KL City Day (or Federal Territory Day) which was a holiday.

Glamorous and pitch-perfect as ever, Beyoncé was the top winner on Sunday, her six prizes the most in one night for any woman in the awards’ 52-year history. Among the awards is song of the year for her anthem “Single Ladies (Put A Ring On It)”.



However, it was Taylor Swift who nabbed the top honour, album of the year, for her best-selling “Fearless.” Taylor won a total of four awards. If you are interested, here's the complete list of winners.



I find the Grammys more interesting to watch than the Oscars. It has a more vibrant atmosphere and the fashion is more exciting.

Lady Gaga has my vote on daring to be different. Here's what she wore..


And this is she again with her awards..



The Red Carpet moments are also fun to watch in terms of fashion. You can see some of them below and more at Red Carpet at the 2010 Grammy Awards and at 2010 Grammys: Arrivals.






And this kid looks so cool! He's Landon, adorable 6-year-old son of Blink-182 drummer, Travis Barker. They both rocked the red carpet at the 52nd Annual Grammy Awards in Los Angeles on Sunday. Travis teamed up with hip hop stars Eminem, Lil' Wayne and Drake to perform at the awards ceremony.



Michael Jackson’s young children, Prince and Paris, accepted a lifetime achievement award for their late father.

“Through all his songs his message was simple, love. We will continue to spread his message and help the world,” Prince said.

Chinese New Year Shopping

With the Chinese New Year just barely two weeks away, shopping malls and markets are packed with shoppers. I haven't been to Chinatown yet but there is no doubt that the place will be crowded with locals buying the Spring festival goodies and tourists enjoying the hustle and bustle of the place.

There is certainly no let-up on consumer spending as department stores are again having their big sale just before the Chinese New Year. Clothes, shoes and bags would top the list of purchases as it's customary to have new clothes and related new stuff to usher in the new year. Even fitness equipment stores are having their sale to encourage people to get back in shape for the new year. Have you done your shopping yet?

Buying Luggage Online

A girlfriend asked that I help her check out luggage online with a view to buying a piece or two to replace her old ones. She is set to travel on business in 2Q. One site I found with a wide range of brands is VillageLuggageandGifts.com.

A few brands caught my attention.

Hartmann luggage is stylishly-designed with the finest materials and elegant craftmanship. Time honored Hartmann collections feature leather and antique hardware details. I think my girlfriend will appreciate the classic good looks and impressive durability of Hartmann luggage. Plus, Hartmann luggage is on Sale now which means with the savings, she could buy another piece.

Delsey luggage may be her choice with additional packing space, attractive finishes, and durable materials. Delsey has always been committed to offering top quality at the lowest prices and they have also redefined the term “lightweight” within the travel industry. Delsey has a great selection of lightweight luggage and carry-ons. They are all on Sale too.

My girlfriend did not mention about garment bags but I have also included those in my search and it brought me to Tumi luggage. They have a collection of superior Tumi garment bags and carry-ons, Tumi duffles and uprights. Purchase of Tumi luggage comes with FREE shipping and Monogramming. They are slashing prices too for the Tumi brand.
