Xbox 360 Finally for PB

Yes.. ! for once.. PB finally got something he wants.. for a long time. An xbox 360 is currently sitting in our TV room .. and no.. i donch believe in getting any system for $1K for whatever reason, unless of course we strike lottery and become a millionaire. But as of now.. we only had a million hair.. we cannot afford to splurge like some folks do here in this town.

You must be thinking i’m incoherent..?? how would we get an xbox 360 if we didn’t pay premium dollars?? Well.. 2 weeks ago.. dude came in to sell us his dead xbox360 .. yes.. he knew it was dead.. and he was pretty honest about it.. but he needed cash.. and wanted to know if we would buy it for parts. And since he had 2 controllers that came with it.. PB thought .. why not.. pay him for the 2 controllers.. well at least that would sell. So yup.. we paid $40.00 for a dead xbox 360 and 2 controllers. Good deal..?? Nah.. not with a dead machine. But oh well.. dude needs money real bad.. so we tried to help.

Peanut Butter & Chloe

Yes.. she is silly and wants to eat peanut butter.. and of course we let her. Afterall, she doesn’t ask for much to eat, so we do let her indulge if she wants to.. once a week. But she is beginning to like peanut butter alot these days… and would even ask PB to smear peanut butter onto her crackers. And yes.. if she is in the mood.. she will pose for you. She can be a brat if she wants to.. but mostly she is a good kid.

Udon & Carrots

I am sure you all know I have very little repertoire when it comes to cooking. But for the sake of my brat, who doesn’t eat outside food, i have had no choice but to cook. And i really try to cook stuff that has got all the nutrients in it. I bought some baby carrots that were dirt cheap last week, so since i know the brat wouldn’t eat it stir-fried.. i had no choice but to try putting them into the udon. But they didn’t turn out great.. because it was still quite hard.. after cooking. .and the brat just refuses to eat it.. even after cutting them up into small pieces. So here i was thinking i’ll save some time .. by using baby carrots.. no need to cut and scrub.. but what’s the point if the brat doesn’t wanna eat right..?? So a wasted effort lah.. in the end.. i was the one eating up those carrots you see here. Bummer eh..?

Goji Berries

As chinese we all know the benefit Goji Berries. We grew up with Goji Berries in our soup on a daily basis, in our chinese dishes and some like me put in Goji Berries even in our famous and local dish call “Bak Kut Teh” .. when i do cook some at home. Goji Berries has a long history of good health, I remember my grandmother used to explain why putting Goji Berries into soup is good for the eyes and give strength to the body. But today, you and I know that Goji Berries also known as wolfberries, actually does more than that. I heard it not only helps you control your weight but improves your sex life too.

Of course, you must know that Goji Berries are a great source of Vitamin C and are grown in pollution free valleys of the Tibetan and Mongolian Himalayas. There are so many nutrients and benefits from taking Goji Berries and its product like Goji Juice on a regular basis. So if you want to stay healthy, try a packet of Goji Berry. These tiny red seed might not seems much to you, but it’s sure packed with all the good stuff.

I’m Tall Now

At Jungle Jims you get to eat and pay according to your height on one day during the weekday.. but we weren’t measuring the brat’s height because of this.. we were doing it.. because we wanted to know how tall the brat is now. And we’re pleased to announced that she is about 100 cm about 3.3 feet tall. Chloe is so pleased with herself.. and not only measured herself once .. but a few times.. 😉 Basically, she is a pretty well-behaved kid.. when we go out. And truly adorable.. and i’m not even being biased.. mauahaaahahahah!! i’m just being a mummy.. 😉
