Hong Kong or Taiwan

Mar-26-2010 By shoppingmum

Since we can’t go to Melbourne this year, hubby said he will try to bring us to Taiwan or Hong Kong. Frankly, I won’t take this seriously as I know that both of us are pretty tied up and we have a lot of financial constraints, at least until our biz is growing well.

But if we are go visit Taiwan and Hong Kong, I won’t miss the chance on my shopping spree. The kids can get their first Nintendo Wii, while mommy will at least get a bag. :P

But it all depends on our busy schedule. Sigh…life is so busy lately.

Reading Spec

Mar-25-2010 By shoppingmum

My work load can be pretty unpredictable. There are times when I can’t figure out which to start first as all of them are urgent, while other time is more relaxing as I’m waiting for some replies and confirmation. I can’t do anything until I get the green light.

What I really hate is reading the product specs. I can’t forgo that as it’s the essential part in my work. Can I just have a document scanning software installed in me, which enables me to scan through the specs in light speed and save all info precious?

I guess there is none. So I have to go back to reading specs. Sucks.

Grand Wedding or Not?

Mar-25-2010 By shoppingmum

I was talking to my friend just now about our wedding photos and wedding ceremony and I was surprised to know that her wedding is quite simple. I thought for someone who is so rich, the wedding should be quite grand. Most of my friends planned for grand weddings, even the wedding invitations are well designed and personalized.

I didn’t do any formal wedding invitation, and I can’t remember why we didn’t do it. LOL! Maybe we didn’t invite a lot of guests!

I Hate Hotel Rooms with Cigarette Smell

Mar-25-2010 By shoppingmum

I have never smoked. Never try to take a puff nor feel the urge to try any perdomo cigars. I don’t care much about other smokers, but please don’t smoke in front of my kids, I don’t want them to be passive smokers.

Another thing I hate is, the smell of cigarettes in the room after the smokers have had their session. There was once when I could sense the smell in the hotel room, especially from the curtains!!! This smoker must have been smoking near the window, in a non-smoking room. D*mn, why didn’t the water sprinkle spray water all over him and take away his smoking pleasure?

So, a lesson learned. Only stayed at prestigious hotels. That will save me a lot of unwanted 3rd party smoking.

Another Car

Mar-25-2010 By shoppingmum

Hubby hasn’t got this car, maybe he will only get it by end of last month. So, he’s taking the cab to work. The boss mentioned that it’s all based on trust, so try not to claim any car allowance meant for private use. :P

I should not be complaining as we will have 2 cars anyway, and we don’t have to pay for it. Maybe I will check out the carinsurancelist blog and see if there is a way of cutting down the cost of our own car, which I can claim from my company.

Stressed

Mar-25-2010 By shoppingmum

My work is piling up, and I’m getting pretty stressed out this week. There won’t be any vacation in the near future, but there will be a week of Songkran break for me in April. How I can’t wait for that!

I won’t be going anywhere, but never mind. I just wanna shop. Maybe just get some bags or what, if financially permits. No promotional tote bags but something classy.

God, please bring more money to me.

Sien

Mar-17-2010 By shoppingmum

SIL is really planning for Melbourne this year, and I know that we can’t make it. With hubby’s current condition, I doubt that I will ever go on holiday, and I can also forget about romantic honeymoon unless I get a new man. Sien la…

Working and working and don’t know when will be the time when I can really retire in wealth.

Maybe I should start selling weight loss supplements via MLM like my friends, and I might be able to make more side income. But I’m so tight up now, now to do side income la!

Read Up

Mar-17-2010 By shoppingmum

I hardly blog hop these days, and only read from my feed. Those blogs are about fashion and bentos, and I hardly read other topics now. I really don’t have much time like I used to be! If you are looking for stuffs to read, click here to learn more about phisoderm. Oh well, there is always something new to learn, if you are keen. :P

I hope that I will have more time to read up on how to make more money in my business. I really need it to grow!!!

Diet Pills

Mar-17-2010 By shoppingmum

I haven’t done any diet pill comparison, so I’m not sure how much difference the pills can be. Most importantly, the pills must be safe for consumption. Some pills might be very effective in losing weight, but it’s dangerous to health too.

So, make sure you consult your doctor first before taking any pills. Even if it might work for others, but it won’t necessarily do well for you. It’s better to be safe than sorry.

No Beach Trip

Mar-17-2010 By shoppingmum

It’s so hot in Bangkok these days, so I really just want to stay indoor. Maybe I’ve had a lot of beach trips lately, so I don’t feel like sunbathing anymore. Furthermore, I don’t look nice in bikini now, and I will need to take some best weight loss pills first before I can put on my bikini again!

I’ve gained some weight lately, and still haven’t shed it off. That’s the thing about getting older, you will have slower metabolism!
