It’s amusing and amazing to watch the brat sometimes, she never fails to come up with new stuff everytime. And she does seems to know alot more than we give her credit for. Today at the store.. she wanted her Papa to see something.. so she said.. to her daddy.. “come on.. come on.. daddy.. Barmenos!!” Too much Dora.. hhahahaha!!
Grammie Cannot Come
My MIL came by yesterday to get her computer fixed.. and then had to leave by 2.30pm.. because they had a hair appointment at Francine. The minute grammie wanted to leave.. the brat started crying.. and bawling..! Grammie had to get outta the car.. and come back into the store. to hug her again.. and stuff. Grammie hadn’t even left the building.. and the brat was already telling her grammie.. she missed her. *slap forehead* ..!
Then wanted me to carry her.. and comfort her.. and “manja” for a good 10 minutes. Oh my..!! i guess grammie cannot come to the store no more.. unless grammie is going home with the brat for babysitting. So drama queen..!!
Beauty Jobs
My esthetician and my hair-stylist are people i see at least once a month or more. Of course, I love the ones back home more, the reason is simply because they have a technique to just relax me and make me feel rejuvenated and my skin glows after seeing them.
The beauty industry is a very lucrative one, and for some that i’ve met and come across, i know they deserved to work for a better place, with more incentives and benefits.

Helping student find and be successful and making full potential of their expertise is what this dedicated site is all about.
Miscarriages
Miscarriages are hard on every women. Today while we were at the hospital, we met a friend..who informed us that she had just lost her baby. I really felt bad for asking.. because i didn’t know any better. Next time .. better to keep my mouth shut. But she was very brave about it.. and wanted to try again. I didn’t say much.. but I hope .. she wouldn’t try again immediately, because the body does need some rest after doing a D & C.
First Blood Test
We got up early.. and outta the house in a record time.. because we had to get chloe into the hospital for her blood test. This is to be taken because she needed work on her teeth on March 07, they are gonna put her to sleep.
And nope..she wasn’t happy with her blood taken.. but the nurses were great at the hospital.. and was really swift.. in doing what they have to do. But poor chloe puked .. even before she got outta the hospital, prolly too frightened. Took us a good hour.. to calm her down.. she was whiny.. big time. Glad it is over.. but sure not looking forward to March 07.
Baby Formula
One of the thing I regretted most.. when I had my baby, was not breast-feeding her. I was a new mummy and she was my first baby.. and no matter how much you read in books or attend pre-natal classes, you never actually know what to expect until you have had your baby.
With mine, she just didn’t want to latch on properly .. and since I had a C-section .. in a foreign land.. no family around.. and plus in a totally different environment.. and hormones running all over the place, I was too stressed to deal with worrying if she did get enough milk. So we decided to change to formula instead.
Of course as a new mother, you want to give the 2nd best to your baby, if you cannot give her the best … your breast milk. But what brand do you choose from..?? there are just too many out there… and if the most expensive formula the best..?? all these questions you may want an answer to. Well.. to new mummies out there, all formula are FDA approved .. and they are just as good as any store brand.. plus you get to save loads of money, when you do choose store brands.. which we found out much later.
Now you can save even more just by taking a Baby Formula Quiz and get a $3 rebate coupon for your formula. Redeemable at your local retailer.. and all you need to do is to answer 7 questions. Easy peasy! and i know all mummies love the savings. Don’t miss out on it.
Drama Rama
I swear we treat all our present and ex-employees well. In fact we would go outta our way to help them, understand them and assist them in any ways we can. But if you say or reprimand them for being slackers or being mediocre workers only, they would come out with all sorts of drama-rama.
Today, we met an ex-b/f of an ex-worker and he himself said that it was really dis-respectful of our ex-worker to behave the way she did when she resigned. Like i said.. we were really kind to her.. and went outta our way to help and accommodate her in anyways we can. But boy..!! was it drama queen for her.. even when she was working with us. But we took all that.. and didn’t even complained at all. But at least .. we donch have to deal with anymore drama-rama kings and queens no more. And thank God.. some ppl do understand what we had to put up with.. because this ex-b/f of hers.. agreed whole-heartedly .. how good we were to her. Donch you just hate drama-rama queens and kings.
Cash In A Hurry
No one likes to run out of money, nor spend over their budget especially for those like me who have a business and a family to run. We pretty much planned what we want to spend and also try to buy things that we don’t really need or must have, when there is a sale just to save money and stretch that dollar.
But one really don’t know when you would have a rainy day or an emergency, especially when you have a family and some kids. Of course, we do not want anything bad to happen, but if you do or when you do, it is good to know that payday loan can be a great help and relieve.
If you are a UK residents, you are eligible for this loan, whether you have poor credit or a part-time worker, you can count on emergency cash up to £800 at short notice. Wherelse your friendly neighbourhood bank, may not come through for you, epayday will.
Easy to apply, you just go online and fill in a form, check your emails and get your cash, once you are approved. Of course there are charges and interest for this loan, but definitely reasonable and payable. Plus if you pay the loan within 14 days .. there are no interest charges. Awesome..! But like any loan, please remember that payday loans are for the responsible ones.
When In Rome
While eating wanton noodles.. or meepok for breakfast is a norm.. when i was in Asia.. i would never eat them here for breakfast. Wanton noodles are for lunch or supper.. but never breakfast for me here. Breakfast consists of toasted bread.. sausages.. bacon.. sometimes eggs, sometimes.. hashbrown.. but nope.. will never eat wanton noodles. So i guess.. i do act like a roman when I am in rome eh.
Call From Toronto
A few days after Chinese New Year, I received a call from Toronto from Mrs Chan. If you remembered.. Mrs Chan was the owner of the now defunct chinese restaurant.. China Court. She retired.. and went to London, Ontario to be with her 2 sons. I had called on the 2nd day of CNY to wish her “Gong Hei Fatt Choy” but she wasn’t in.. Chloe and I left a message. She called back.. and you know what.. I do miss her alot… and all the good food she used to cook for me. .and sent Mr Chan to deliver to me downtown. I missed good ppl in this town.
