No mother would want to leave the hospital after giving birth without having the baby at home.  I am glad that those scenario doesn’t happened to me.  It is  a heart aching to see my newborn niece  had a low birth weigh.  To top it off, she had some complication and need to undergo blood transfusion and dialysis.  It is more heart wrenching to see tubes all over her body but the pulse oximeter has a cute teddy prints which makes me awwww at it.

Many people expected a miracle diet pills to works like magic but we all know they are difficult to achieve if you don’t do it right.  Read the rest of this entry »

Usage of three basic facial product that most woman practise is 1) Cleanser, 2) Toner and 3) Moisturizer.  But do you know that facial moisturizer is not supposed to be applied near the eye area?  If you notice lumpy or seeds forming near the eye, that is because the moisturizer is too oily and has resulted in the appearance of oil seeds.  The skin around our eyes is very sensitive and it should applied only eye wrinkle creams and not the facial moisturizer.

My oh my!  All this while, I have wrongly pronounce Acnes as a one word syllable instead of two.  It should pronounce as ‘ack-knee’.   Don’t ask me how I pronounce it.  That was rather embarrassing especially when I go to the pharmacy to ask for a acne cream and all I get is a weird look from the sales people with her eyebrow raise.  Ok, at least I learn a new thing today.

What is your ideal of weight loss diet?  To me, it was healthy eating way to healthy living with a boost of exercises.  You can’t be telling people that you are on a vegetarian diet but ordered a large plate of vegetarian char kuey tiaw.  You see what is wrong there?  The calories!  The fats!  But occasional of fried food won’t kill.  They are comfort food. *rolling-on-floor-laughing*

Won’t put names here but one of the Yoga teacher that I know was offered two years contract to teach by philly jobs online along with a few other teachers.  It was a big leap considering she is running her own Yoga center in KL and is married.  She had a considerate and helpful husband as he is now helping her to run the centre during her absence.  She does believe opportunity doesn’t always come knocking.

Every year, we have been paying quite a huge amount of money for family medical insurance.  And each year, the premium seem to be increasing rather than decreasing.  By all means, they are always more expensive than previous year. Seriously, is there any other alternative beside an insurance?  The only option I can think of is the Government Hospital.  But who hasn’t heard of horror stories about their service and not forgetting the long queue?  This year, I opt for something different.  I’m still in the mid of reviewing term life insurance quote from Wholesale Insurance.  Hope they will be cheaper or at least, on par with my current one.

How do you handle pushy and irritating insurance salesman even thought you’ve told them many many times that you are not interested in whatever auto insurance quotes they are proposing?  Well, this trick works for me so far.  All I say to them is, “Hey, I am a insurance agent too.  Wanna buy from me?” Works wonder for me.  Not sure about you.

Sometimes, it is practical to have a basic gym equipment at home like the treadmills, ellipticals or spinner for people like me that have to juggle between kids, home, work and exercise.  Having a bicycle (real ones) is not a bad idea, but getting injuries from cycling is high especially with the traffic and crime rates. I rather use the spinner at the comfort of home while babysitting.  Not bad of killing two birds with a stone huh.

How often do we heard the news of misbehaving maids or one that abuses children during the employer’s absence.  To solve all the worries, employers now spent a sum of money installing wireless security systems to monitor their maid.  For my personal point of view, it is best to voice out to the maid that she is being ‘watched’ instead of keeping it a secret.  That way, the maid will at least behave herself and be extra hardworking.  Maybe?
