New Venture/New Excitment

PB and I have been approached by someone locally to work on something together.. for a few months now.. and we are prepping ourselves up for it. Unfortunately, we are unable to disclose what it is right now.. outta international patent issues.

But today.. i am unable to contain my excitement.. because i’ve seen this product work miraculously on my brat..! yes.. on my brat..! i donch know if it was instantly or not.. but it worked.

My brat was out playing in the front yard .. and PB had just mowed the lawn yesterday.. so with the newly mowed lawn.. there were lots of mosquitoes.. and of course.. who did those insects go for..?? THE BRAT..! yup.. she had a good few bites on her hands and legs.. and it was itching alright when she got into the house. PB took the new “venture” out.. and used it on her.. and no it is not a mosquito product or an insect product or any kinda cream… this is a totally organic thing we are talking about.. and not meant for insect bites or mosquito bites.. but because this organic thing/new venture that we had in hand as sample contact an organic mineral in it.. that can take care of insect bites.. PB used it on Chloe because he used it on himself .. a few weeks ago.. when he was bitten by a tick.

Nice Summer Day

What a nice and warm day it was today..! very summery like.. but the wind was cool.. but that’s alright.. it was still warmer than most days.

If you all donch know by now.. even summer here can be really chilly. We donch get very much warm days. But the house was really hot.. and the store.. was cool.. just nice.. kinda cool.

Chloe did good playing by herself.. alot.. and also went out on bike rides just outside the store. She was quite relentless when asking to go out for rides..and insisted and said.. “please.. please.. please.. please..” till we said.. ok. But really how to say no .. to her.. if only we had more time to play with her.. instead of working.. and trying to make a living.

I mean .. if you were my customer hor.. even if you only spend $3 a week at my store.. I also consider you a good customer. But these ppl .. never spend a single cent at my store.. come in and wanna borrow my phone.. also nevermind.. we lend you the phone.

But after using my business phone.. hand me back the phone.. and thank you .. also never say..!! like i owe you or what..??? then just pat, pat the backside.. and leave.. without even looking back..!! Wah Lau Oiii..!!! Some more old woman with a teenage son.. both mother and son.. not a word of thanks..!! Really .. no father, no mother teach..!!!

Teach Your Kids Pleaseeeeee…!!!

OMG..!! another one of those case.. where kids goes wild in our store..!! but this ain’t as bad as the one we had yesterday..!!!

Customer comes in with kids to get work done on puter.. and OMG ..!! kids run wild.. !! and take everything out .. from the shelves.. and even go into the security camera box.. and opened it.. to see what’s inside. While the younger kid rides on one of chloe’s bike.. the older one.. wanted to ride on chloe’s Dora bike. The kid doesn’t understand .. that he is too heavy for the bike.. and then they messed with Chloe’s Dora tables and chairs.. and wants to go into the tent .. and then mess up the other stuff in the store.. and worst of all.. tries running outta the store.. several times..!!

My chloe went to the croc store for some shoes with PB .. and all she did was sit .. on the bench.. of the store.. and wait for PB to be done. She did get a wee bit cranky at the end.. because she wanted a croc.. and they didn’t have her size.. other than that… PB said.. she behaved.. and didn’t do those things.. that those kids did at our store. And if she was.. she would have been taken outta the store immediately .. instead of being left to wreck someone’s store. We won’t allow it..! period…!

Daily Dilemma

Everyday .. PB and I have the same dilemma ..! Everyday during lunch time.. we don’t know what to eat. In the end.. we usually eat at about 4pm.. for lunch.. and ends up eating horrid food.. or just food.. that we donch like eating at all.

The new chinese restaurant is good.. but how much chinese food .. can you eat right..?? plus it is not cheap either. A dish of mapo tofu.. is at 12.95 + tax.. and we all know that tofu is cheap.. and so is meat.. and certainly isn’t worth paying 12.95 when you can do it yourself.. for less than 5 bucks. So i always end up having a bowl of soup.. and that’s it. Really donch know what to eat anymore.

Oh.. i do cook for chloe.. but sometimes.. i rather freezed up the food.. for her.. then to eat them myself.. so she gets wholesome food.

Gas Prices

I have been wanting to rant about the gas prices here in Yarmouth…!! For the last 1.5 yrs.. we have one of the highest gas prices .. all over Nova Scotia. Regulating gas prices by the government.. did not help one bit .. to the consumer like us. Stablizing gas prices took effect last year July 1st but we are still paying sometimes as much as 1.17/litre.

Our car is very small.. and yet.. we pay like 40 to 45 bucks to fill our tank every week.. depending on whether we go outta town or not. If we do, it is more. A trip up to Halifax cost us about 120.00 in gas alone. Which means .. we pay like 360.00 Malaysian Ringgit in gas. You tell me.. whether i would bitched about it or not..??

Food is also expensive here.. unless you wanna eat a pizza slice everyday .. at your friendly neighbourhood pizza joint.. for 2 bucks.. meaning about 6 malaysian ringgit..! And if you donch know.. the pizza slices.. are sometimes so old.. it tastes like cardboard..!

So for those who are thinking of migrating.. unless you have a great job.. and all.. it’s just too expensive.. coz’ taxes would kill you too.. if not .. the weather..! Ok.. i’m talking about the small town i’m in..!

Summer Happened

Summer happened yesterday, 21st June. Unfortunately for us.. the nite before it was raining. This morning… it was so-so.. but if you asked anyone here.. they would say it’s nice. For me.. summer should be hot, hot.. ! beach weather hot..!

We would be lucky if we have 2 months of good weather. Fortunately, business has been picking right up.. and PB has been working so hard of late.. and even helping me out with my paid blogging.. doing the video for me.. and editing ..and all.. while i try to get my food fix .. of nasi lemak.

We also see an increase of interest .. in security cameras. This morning the local mill had announced that the schools are looking into security camera to protect their school properties. So PB will go up to the school. .and enquire about some potential sales. It’s gonna be real busy for us.. this summer.. and i can’t wait till Keegan is off school.. so she can work more .. either in the store.. or babysitting for us. Chloe loves her babysitter so much..! and really .. Keegan does a great job. Even my MIL thinks so.

We can be Proud

Chloe is very well-behaved.. when she is out of our store.. and even at Grammie’s house.. or when we are shopping. She rarely messed up ppl’s stuff.. much less.. try to break things.

She would not try and destroy or claimed things that doesn’t belong to her.. nor would she be screaming or shouting.. to do stuff.. she isn’t supposed to. She doesn’t even take food from ppl to eat.. even at Grammie’s house.. if she wanted a drink of pepsi.. she would always asked first. She would never open Grammie’s fridge.. nor would she be screaming for things that belongs to another kid. Nor would she asked to bring home another kid’s toy.

Yes.. we can be proud that our brat do not behave in the way . .that we see other kids behave when they are at our store. My brat doesn’t get up and run around with the kids that comes into the store.. when she is having lunch.. she finishes all her lunch before getting down.. and she never walks outta the store.. without us. Other kids may do that .. without their parents.. but not mind.

Nope.. i’m not bragging.. but if i cannot control my kid in public.. i feel i shouldn’t bring my kid out.. and let them destroy other kid’s toys.. and store.

Ra-Ra with X-Ray

A quick update on my x-ray today. I went in at 12pm for my 12.20pm appt and only got to do my x-ray at 12.45pm, the x-ray was a breeze.. the technician who took my x-ray was very nice. No hassle or anything. But she wouldn’t say if there was anything unusual with my x-ray .. but i had to sign a form.. that i won’t sue them.. hahahhaha!! so strange.

So i wouldn’t know anything till next week i am guessing. So wish me luck.. and hope for the best… coz’ i won’t wanna start worrying now.. because there really ain’t anything i can do about it.

But my MIL said.. or maybe to comfort me..?? that she have had x-rays done.. and they had made her go back and do it again.. because of shadows too.. and it didn’t turn out anything bad. So that’s a comforting thought. Anyhow.. i shall definitely update everyone.. about my progress.

No X-Ray

Just a quick heads up for everyone .. i didn’t get to do my x-ray today.. because one of their machine was down.. in the hospital.. so they want me to come back tomorrow. And no.. i didn’t kick up a fuss.. afterall.. i’m at their mercy.. like when i was SOOOO pregnant with Chloe.. and they made me wait for 2 hours.. with my bladder full of water.. when i insisted to get my ultra sound done the same day .. for fear that Chloe might be breached.

So wish me luck again for tomorrow ya.. 🙂 my appt is a 12.20pm tomorrow.
