Been reading my book and thought of sharing some of the tips here:If you store ice cubes in polythene bags, spray them with soda water before you put them in the freezer. It stops them from sticking together.A good substitute for real cream is evaporated milk. Boil an unopened tin in water for twenty minutes. It whips up to double its size and does a fair immitation of the real thing.If you line the...

Talking of Jobs
the local paper advertised local jobs (not just bus for sale) so I am thinking of looking into it more often. I am not just motivated to be more pro-active for local job as I feel there won't be any vacancy for my skill around our area. Mcj recommends that I go to TAFE to acquire some new skills so I could look for work in the local enterprises. Have yet to see...With Jens in consideration, location...
Saturday Movie
I know, I know... we all saw Forrest Gump movie. And I'm sure, you also admit that it's one of the movies worth watching over and over and over.. and over.. Again. :) And so I did. Today. Weekend means boring telly shows. And it was sort of a gloomy day today, so we just stayed indoor. And what better...
What's Next?
Okay, I got my PR visa. So what's next?We've applied for the little boy's passport last week. Received an email today that it should arrive in the registered mail in the coming week. I kid Mcj if that's the sign that our supposedly trip back "home" would be soon. And he said, blah.With the visa, I'm planning to join the corporate rat race. Again! I said before that going back to full employment would...

What The!?
Diesel - $1.826Mcj couldn't justify it even to himself why diesel is dearer than unleaded when it doesn't need much refining process to come-up with that kind of fuel.Go figu...
Brrrrrr...
I'm all rugged-up. It has been sprinkling all day. Chilly and gloomy day.Just finished changing my toe-nail polish. Waiting for the sleepiness to kick-in after drinking the coffee that Mcj made me about an hour ago. lol.The little boy is sleeping soundly after a dose of paracetamol to ease peggy pains. But it won't be long and he'll be awake, wanting some food. Again!Received the play tent freebie...

Curb It
I've been checking this particular shopping website since mother's day for sale and free shipping merchandise. Apart from furnitures (like patio furniture), I love shopping for manchester. Sure we can buy lovely patterns and shades of machesters in the local shop but this website, always offer prices lower than the registered retail price. I've bought several times and my only complaint is the queen...

Good Buys
I am a notorious bargain hunter. Ironically, I don't love to shop when there's a massive sale or price drop. It's the throng of shoppers that makes me avoid the shop. I can't concentrate shopping when there are lots of people around me, it makes me feel giddy.Just last week, I wanted to buy Jens a belt....

Big News
I thought the gifts for Mother's Day would stop coming on the day itself. But nah! Yesterday, I got one of the best gifts in the mail. A letter from the immigration (with the photos, certificates and cards that I submitted) that I was just granted of permanent resident visa. How good is that?We were not expecting it to be granted this quick. I was looking forward to be interviewed first. I also...
Face Bumps
My face was pimple free from when I got pregnant until a "friend" came back when Jens was 7 months. It was 16 months of clean face. Just last week, the bumps just kept on breaking out on my face in their favorite spots, the chin and forehead. Gross! It could just be because I am expecting a "visitor" or because I've been a naughty girl and kept on feelings bumps and humps on my face when I was watching...

Chocolate Oracle
I used not to like sweets, like chocolates and icecream. My palette changed after I gave birth. I like desserts now especially chocolate and icecream. How bizzarre is that? I know lots of things changed after giving birth.As to chocolates, it is better now that I like them. Mcj has a very sweet tooth...

Popcorn
I may sound so dummy and naive but I popped my own popcorn recently for the first time. Conventionally. I found a healthy snacks recently, that is popcorn, but eventually dislike it. The salt or whatever in it burnt my tongue, lips and gums. And before that happened, Mcj suggested that...
I've Got Mail
Since I started subscribing to freebies, I get excited to check our mailbox everyday. It is the only reason why I don't like weekends.I am not consistent with the address that I provided to those freebie companies. At first, I gave our post office mailbox but eventually I did use our residential add. I myself is puzzled what is my rule why I gave our home address or the reason why. I still switch...

Our Sunday Walk
Yesterday, my little boy and I went for a walk in the morning. Instead of taking the usual route which is up to the main road, we instead took the route to the end of our road. We've been doing our daily walk for more or less 7 months but we really didn't venture that route, so that was our first time (second for me, the first when Mcj drove me around). We really didn't see any of our neighbor. The...

Mother's Day Treat
I collected a big bundle of catalogues (junk mail) last weekend. Apart from the usual that we receive every week, there were some that only came on special occations. There were lots of jewelry catalogue - promotions for Mother's Day. I looked into them and they featured pretty blings. I am not into jewelry for gifts (just as Mcj is not into men's jewelry) anymore. I had the idea of what I want two...
