Fish Tanks

For “feng shui” reasons, I have always wanted to put a fish tank at our store, of course with fishes too. I hear that it is good fortune to do it and it also means.. that all the bad “chi” will be blocked by the fish tank and its fishes. Of course one wouldn’t need many fish tanks, around the store or business to help the growth of one’s business, just one will do but it has to be put in a strategic place according to the “feng shui” master. Call me superstition or whatever you like but anything for bringing in the money and harmony at the store.

I want something that is light but strong enough to withstand any bumping around and of course it has to be clearer than glass fish tanks. Plus acrylic aquariums have rounded corners without silicone seams, therefore you get a better view of the fishes and the overall look of the fish tank is so much more presentable and stylish.

Since i am a pretty lazy/busy person, i need to make sure that i can get all my aquarium supplies in one-stop and not having to go hunting for its accessories from one store to another. So I need to make sure that I can get my air pumps, fish feeders, heaters and thermometers, artificial coral and live rocks and filtration and anything to keep my fishes alive. So the efficient me, found the place where i can do everything without any hassle at FishTanksDirect.com, they have just about everything that anyone who wants to set up an aquarium at home or in the office or just to maintain the aquarium and the fishes. And they sure do have good and affordable prices.

Yah.. you remember the xbox 360 that we got for $40 ..?? Now that it is all repaired and new.. PB has been experimenting with it.. every chance he gets. And of course.. he had to have the “Guitar Hero III” !! he had mentioned it on Sunday.. but i wasn’t really thinking .. because i had wanted to go home to pee.. so we went home.. and i only remembered it .. in the evening.. and asked him .. how come he didn’t remind me about it..?? I guess .. that must be the reason why he sulk abit.. on Sunday. Come Monday.. after sending the brat and the babysitter home.. he went shopping on his own.. without even telling me.. and yes.. he came back to the store with a new toy..! Men and their games.. !

Charity Begins At Your Local Hospital

Every year during Christmas, we try to donate something to the hospital. It is our way of giving back to society .. and doing a good deed. A tour around the hospital by the woman club that i am a member, also saw the need of new computer carts for the hospital. It is easy to buy carts anywheres but we wanted something that is not only affordable but durable.

VersaTable.com not only manufactures these utility carts for different environments, but they are of high quality materials meaning that it is going to last the hospital a long time. Plus they have a lifetime warranty and shipping is free. So for us they are all bonuses. We checked out the LAN Racks that they have to offer and found these LAN Racks are value for money, so we will be considering this for the near future for our charity work for the hospital or orphanage as well.

Mummy The Zipper Retard

Yes.. for those of you who donch know.. it’s usually cold here.. so we either have a vest.. or a jacket.. or a sweater.. and with that of course got zippers lah..! All these years.. PB always zips Chloe up.. because i can’t seems to do it properly. PB said.. i wasn’t holding the zipper correctly.

Just the other day.. i was trying to zip chloe.. and couldn’t..!! so chloe took the zipper out.. turned backwards.. and told me.. “ok.. you can try it again now mum.. ” muahhahahaha!!! yup..! my daughter knows.. i’m a zipper retard.. 😉 but it just so funny.. because she knows i can zip her up better.. with her back facing me.. instead of her face facing me upfront.

To French Or Not To French

As a mother.. we are all worried about our child’s education… and I.. yours truly is no different. Here in Canada .. we have what they call the French Immersion School, where children get to learn a second language – French ..! but of course..! Many parent has different reasons for wanting to put their child into French Immersion.. but mostly, they want their child to have the edge of adulthood as many government jobs requires that they speak French.

My MIL, is Acadian French, and when PB was much younger.. he speaks in French too. Back home in Asia.. we too learn several 2nd and 3rd languages.. like Mandarin and Bahasa Malay.. 2 common ones… and of course.. some schools provides the japanese language as an option for 3rd language. We coped .. and so will my brat i believe.

But my reason for sending her to French Immersion is a very selfish reason. I donch want Chloe to be at the south end school. Why..?? because i heard it is a bad school. And the place where we are staying in is zoned for that school and chloe would have to go to the South End School.. if we choose not to send her to French Immersion. So there you have it.. i’m a “kiasu” mum.. my FIL says i’m a chinese jew.. and that’s not for nothing eh..?? muahahhahahah!

I’m Pretty Super …!!

Well sometimes.. mauahhahahaha!! made soup for the brat .. last nite at 3am.. in slow cooker.. then woke up .. cooked breakfast.. and then washed dishes.. and then .. cooked rice.. and then cooked dinner as well for the brat.. and made enough for my own lunch.

Tell me.. i’m not superWoman..!! muahhahaha!!! and of course.. washed everything up.. that was needed to clean up. And still made it to the store in time.. muahahhahaha!! can packed up all of chloe’s food and snacks.. and so forth.

Getting Organised In School

We’ve just registered our daughter into her new school for the next term and was taken for a tour around the school. It sure was a very nice school and compared to the rest of the schools in town, this one has the best facilities in every aspect.

A look around in their science labs, we noticed that some organization is needed and some computer carts, for both the students and teachers would really come in handy. The desk that those computers are on in the lab, was just too bulky and not suitable for a small lab. We then headed to the computer club in the school and yes, they badly needed some LAN Racks, as there were just too many computers lying around.

Working in the hotel industry before, i know exactly where to get affordable LAN Racks, for my daughter future school. Made of highest quality steel and comes with a lifetime warranty and free shipping, surely the school cannot afford to miss such a good deal.

Halloween Parade

A few nites before Halloween .. we had a halloween parade on Main Street. It was quite shocking because we didn’t know about it at all. And by the time we clued in .. the parade was almost over. But it was still a pathetic parade.. coz’ the street was dark.. nobody seems to know that there was a parade! not many folks on the street and for us as business owners on Main street, not informed about this.. can be real bad for our business. Coz’ road block, customers donch know.. and prolly an irate customer/s who would vowed not to come downtown no more. Organizers are sure great in this town eh..?

Brunch At Snack Place

First of all.. I’ll have to give credit where credit is due. The person who served us.. was the most cheerful person I’ve ever seen in my entire years in Y-town.. but the Snack Place is nothing fanciful.. and food is nothing to shout about either. Let just say.. the clams are ordinary.. and for the price we are paying.. it would be really nice.. if it didn’t look like we are in a 70s diner. I haven’t had clams for a good 5.5 yrs.. so i decided to try some.. well.. as you can see.. i didn’t finished it.. it was jaw breaking.

Mastering The Dance

The benefits of learning just how to dance is plenty. Not only do one gain confidence, it is also a very good form of exercise. I’ve always found dancers to have great co-ordination, and it is a really great way to enhance one’s social life.

Celebrating their one year anniversary, Salsa Boot Camp, is offering those interested, they are offering insane bonuses.. for signing up. 3 free newly released Salsa BootCamp dvds and you get instant access to the camp site at a very low price ever offered to anyone. This offer is just about for everyone. Everyone can learn how to salsa dance, beginning with the offer of 3 free days of trial session, so you can get a taste of what it is all about and how easy it is.

Some people like me are passionate about dancing but the spouse is the “shy” type.. so even if his life depended on it.. he wouldn’t go for classes with me.. but with these salsa video, there is really no excuse for me . .to pick up this passion of mine.. that i have for the longest time. Even my babysitter, Kate can take it up.. in the privacy of her bedroom, to prepare for her prom and bowl her partner over.
