Electricity Out
I don’t know why. We had it fixed already last month. But our electricy connection is acting up again. It goes on and off. That’s merely the reason why I am up now. I was awaken by the warmth of the room. Good thing my computer battery is charged. I can at least use it. And of course, my wi-fi connection is from my neighbours. Good thing not all connections around this area is secured. Otherwise I won’t be able to get a connection. My son is awake now. He is feeling so warm and he can’t go back to sleep. Maybe I put him on our wood flooring. It’s quite cooling there. Hopefully it gets fixed before hubby goes off. He’s going out of the country for 6 days. … Read entire article »

Score A
I’m not really sure how Score A works. But apparently, my brother-in-law is so sold out for it. He even asked my hubby to invest for it for our kids. He said that we could buy one package and that would cover one sibling. From the sound of it, Score A is very beneficial for kids, especially those who are in primary and secondary school. My brother-in-law is very good in marketing. I’m sure that if he decides to sell insurance and what not, he would be very successful in this field. He has such a strong drive in selling. I’m sure that with his strong drive he could obtain an insurance lead. I am saying that because hubby seems to believe him. Now hubby wants to know more. I hope that … Read entire article »

Confessions of a Shopaholic – The Movie
I saw the movie “Confessions of a Shopaholic” today. Went to Sunway Pyramid for my of day off with a friend. The plot of the story in the movie was different from the book. Some characters were also mixed up… like Tarkie was Suze’s fiance in the movie but he was Suze’s cousin who’s got a crush on Rebecca Blomwood in the book. Luke Brandon was Becca’s boss in the movie but he wasn’t in the book. Becca’s boss at Successful Saving was Phil. Derek Smeath didn’t humiliate Becca in public in the book. But I like her tag as a Girl in a Green Scarf in the movie. The irony of the story was that … she was a financial consultant journalist and yet she had big financial problems herself. … Read entire article »
