International Food Tasting – Part II

I did managed to take some pictures of the food.. but didn’t get to try alot.. because Chloe was fussing way too much.. and even with PB around.. he wasn’t gonna get “FREE” food for me.. maybe because he was shy. Afterall .. food tasting. .means take any food mah.. right..?? no need for me to tell him. .what to get .. just to go with the flow. .and get whatever to taste lor..! like that also donch know.. so i gave up lor.. just take pictures.. for everyone to see.. and then only ate Su Lee’s spring rolls. So “sian” hor..?? I told you what.. PB only eat to live.. and have no enthusiasm at all to try any new food.

A Princess

The Bank Manager and his wife from our local bank… calls Chloe.. “A Princess” .. 😉 Yes.. everytime they see her.. or takes walk in the evening.. or come in to say hi.. they would ask for “Our Princess”.

It is really nice to hear other folks call your kid a “Princess” isn’t it..?? And NO! .. i’m NOT saying that my brat is an angel.. and i never will. But it really warms my heart .. when others can see “inside” of my brat.. and know that she is actually .. not such a bad kid as compared to others that we see hanging around town.. “mo wong koon”! And nope.. my brat do not fuss in the public.. and if she does.. she goes home right away.. no second thoughts on our part… and we haven’t ever had to do that yet.. “touch wood”.

And yes.. we are quite strict .. when it comes to behaving in public… because we teach our brat to respect other ppl’s property.. and other ppl. It’s no use .. even if she is a complete “ANGEL” at home.. and then behave badly outside. I rather she behaves outside.. and be a “MONSTER” at home.

Wat about you..?? which would you prefer..?? if you can choose one or the other..??

Inconsiderate Smokers

Donch you just hate ppl who are inconsiderate.. and come into the store still smoking.. !! Donch you just hate those who stands outside yer store.. and smoke.. !! I’m pretty sure .. Miche’s hubby .. David.. who owns a cyber cafe.. in Malacca.. will understand how i feel.

Here i spend tons of money .. buy Body’s shop home fragrance to make my store smell like orange.. and here.. i have ppl standing outside our store.. smoking away.. and all the smelly, smelly smoke smell coming into the store.. !! Arrrggghh..!!! And what I hate even worst is… a mother and her b/f smoking away .. as they go take a walk with their baby in a stroller. They wanna say that the stroll is for the baby but it’s just an excuse for them to smoke away. It’s crazy how irresponsible .. some mothers are here. I can never imagine deliberately doing something to hurt my brat’s health, surely one wouldn’t do something like that.. if you already have knowledge how bad smoking can get right..?? But nope.. not only one mother.. but alot of mothers does that here.. and then they wonder why their kid is always ill.

KnockOffs Crocs

As promised this is the knockoff that PB bought for Chloe but it’s still a wee bit big for her.. so she cannot run very properly. Chloe is so different from last year. Last year she didn’t wanna have anything to do with the Crocs.. we bought her one.. but she refused to wear it. This year.. she was so keen about it.. and kept asking for it. Now that i know she will wear it.. i’m gonna get her the real deal.. when i get a chance to go to the mall. But i think i wanna get her the disney crocs.. ! Have you see those..?? those are cute..!!

The apple and worm jibbit is from her hairstylist .. Francine. !! and she keeps telling everyone that. I wanna get some more for her.. if i get a chance to go to the mall today. Coz’ i got keegan today for the whole day..!!

Online University Podcast

A Online education podcast for one to focus on the experience of earning an online degree, is the lastest on Capella University. An accredited online university with more than 19,000 student on their registrar, it’s released what we can call a favorable tool for all students and potential students.

Lastest podcast featuring a conversation with Carla Chladek a PhD student with Capella University about her work as Program Manager for the Joint Staff Training Program at the Pentagon. Carla who is pursuing a master’s degree at Capella and she is also responsible for ensuring that training needs are met for 2,000 military members. I figured if someone like Carla is pursuing her Master’s with Capella, Capella must be one of the best online university around.

Hear regular podcast featuring Capella University’s student, the staff, and faculty about their real life experience and their point of view first hand. And they are usually only 15mins long and wouldn’t take too much of your time but would give you an idea when you are trying to decide on upgrading yourself.

Coincidence Or Freaky

This morning.. i was talking to PB about an email i received. I had told PB i wasn’t in a hurry to reply to this email… because i do not consider this person sending this email to be a friend. He and his wife .. seems to be the kind of person.. only to be around.. when they are in need.. or have a favour to ask of you.

This afternoon.. guess who turned up at the store..?? hhahhhaha!! his wife..!! Freaky eh..?? or is it just coincidence..??

So moral of my story.. donch talk about ppl.. in the daylight.. hahhaha!! else they show up in front of you.
