Happy holidays to all

2009 is coming to an end pretty soon, and in the past one year, I have spent much lesser time on my blog so I might have let some of you down as you didn’t see fresh post on my blog as frequent as it used to be (was busy on this blog and this blog too). I have not been constantly reading many of your blogs as well but I hope we could still stay in touch.

I hereby wishing all my friends and blog visitors a happy holiday season and all the best for the coming year.

Meery Christmas

A Merry Christmas and a Prosperous New Year to all!

Online backup

I still remember about 2 years ago, my desktop computer suddenly crashed one day, and some of my files were corrupted and can’t be recovered, and that includes some precious photos of my children too. Ever since that, we created a premium account on flickr which provides unlimited storage size, and we have been using it as an online backup for all our photos taken until now.

Exercise at home

It’s mega sales everywhere now and everybody seems to be in a shopping mood now. When I went for shopping last weekend, saw this fitness shop also doing promotion on its fitness equipment. I have spotted the treadmill which is currently going on 40% off the retail price, what a steal isn’t it? Well if I’m getting my bonus this year, I‘ll be buying it to reward myself.

Dillon’s 4th Birthday

This is another backdated post, mommy has been busy with the family trip that had just happened last week (pictures of the trip shall be out soon…hopefully…)

Dillon celebrated his birthday on 6th December but we had the cake cutting a day earlier because daddy had a wedding photo shooting job on the 6th.

While waiting for everybody to be back, daddy took some pictures for gor gor and mei mei.

I really think girls are much better in posing, look at mei mei Kaith, she is very sensitive to camera and likes to pose very much.

Photobook

The month of December is been a really busy month for weddings, as I have personally received 4 wedding invitations from my friends and colleagues. What I enjoy most during wedding party is to see the wedding albums. Nowadays there are so many different photography style, creative digital artworks and album designs that make a wedding album outstanding.

Many people have also realized that professional wedding photography on wedding day itself plays an important role as well. Rather than getting own friends or relatives to hold the camera, many couple would actually prefer to hire professional photographer to do the job. There are many freelance photographers nowadays that can do a pretty good job at very competitive rate.

Although there won’t be any exclusive photo albums like the studio ones, but they can just take back the soft copies and design a wedding photobook themselves. This would save cost from having to go through a photographer or studio for doing the album. Same goes for the children and family photos, we can create photobooks for different occasions with different themes such as baby’s first year, family trip to Switzerland, dad’s 70th birthday and so on. Great photos leave priceless memories to us.

Birthday present for boss

It’s Christmas soon and it’s also my boss’s birthday on the Christmas day itself. All of us in the department is going to share the birthday gift and we were thinking to get him a Jack Georges briefcase since he needs to travel for business quite often. We think that a high quality briefcase would suit his needs and his status, and he will surely like it.

Lacking of sleep

I don’t used to have dark eye circles problem but after I started my online business and blog writing, my bed time has been irregular and I’m lacking of sleep all the time. The next thing I know, I started to have these dark under eye circles already and I’m desperately looking for any eye cream, eye mask or any treatment that will help me with the problem.

Fat burning

Chinese New Year is coming soon and this year I wanted to wear my old cheongsam when I go visiting my relatives. But first thing first, I need to take care of my slightly bulging tummy as it won’t looks nice when I wear cheongsam. I wonder if there is any natural fat burner out there that can help with my problem? Strict diet and exercise are too stressful and I will not go down to that route.

Change new tiles

I’m seriously thinking to change all the tiles in my kid’s bedroom because part of the floor tile are cracked, currently we are using floor mat to cover it up but I still don’t feel safe for the kids. I’d also like to repaint the room to a more vivid colour, it looks a bit dull for the kids at this moment.

Children clothing

Same like the other mothers, I’m one who like to shop for children clothes, although they already have enough clothing hanging in the wardrobe, but it’s always hard for me to resist especially when I see those nice dresses for girls.

However, I seldom buy children clothes in the mall, more often I buy it from online shops because I don’t need to travel and I have more choices as I can check out different websites and compare prices as well. ShopWiki is one of the place where I often go on as I can find many stores that sell girl’s clothing and boy’s clothing easily,

I’m concerned of the design and material of clothes, of course price is also a factor. I would not buy children clothes that are too expensive because they won’t wear for long and it’s not worth it, that’s why I don’t go for branded children clothing.

Single mattress

My kids are sleeping in the same room with my mother-in-law and all 3 of them sleep on a king size bed. As they grow up, I’m thinking to train them to be independent and sleep on their own bed. I’m planning to get those single mattresses for them when there is mattress factory sale, so that I can save some money.

Great bargain

The month of December is also the season of shopping. I think partly because of the festive seasons, partly is also because of the irresistible sales everywhere, not only in the malls but also at the online stores. If you have not bought Christmas gift for your friends and family, check out the Cyber Monday deals online and grab your favourite gift items at a bargain price.

New tv stands

Year end sales is everywhere now and I am also looking at buying a new TV for home. The one we had now is not in perfect working condition anymore and I thought to change to a new plasma TV since many of the electrical shops are giving good offers now. I also need to check out the tv stands because the current one won’t go nice with a plasma TV, maybe I should go to IKEA for more choices.
