Shimmering Chandelier for Christmas

2009-11-28T09:13:00.002+08:00

Christmas is less than a month away and I wait in eager anticipation of what this magical season may bring! I remember my childhood Christmas with nostalgia. It was a happy time when I received Christmas gifts from my parents and there was lots of food. We decorated our huge Christmas tree and our home with holly, lights, ornaments, trinkets, and twines of popcorn and candy canes. Special dishes like roast turkey, duck or ham served with cranberry sauce, plum pudding, pumpkin pie are served and enjoyed as a great family dinner.

Christmas decorations are such an important Christmas activity, which is worth mentioning as people dedicate a lot of time for Christmas decorations. Oh, don't forget to add holiday touches to your chandelier as it can bring a festive element to your Christmas decor. If you have a chandelier with curved arms going up to hold the bulbs, it's a natural. You can wrap a pine garland and weave it up, under and around. Then you can add sparkling beads and chains swooping from one light to the next, and hang ornaments from them.

Or, tie red bows at each "candle" point. If you can add a red cylinder below each bulb, it will be even more festive!

Speaking of chandeliers, LightingSale.com offers many sophisticated options, like crystal chandeliers or Tiffany-style antique chandeliers. Even if you're looking for a contemporary or rustic chandelier, they have the selection for you!

Ooh la la, it's time for joyous shopping and merry-making!

Friday Fill-Ins: BBQ, Orange White Coffee!

2009-11-27T23:54:00.004+08:00

And...here we go!

1. Wait! Wait, don't forget to say "Hi!"

2. Thus sexual love is but a momentary relief, followed at once by shame and revulsion for what has happened.

3. The trouble is, if you don't risk anything, you risk even more.

4. My hometown is many miles away.

5. With a faint pop I am turning back into me.

6. The sky above appeared shadowy and ominous.

7. And as for the weekend, tonight I'm looking forward to finishing up my online task, tomorrow my plans include having a BBQ dinner with Ralph and Sunday, I want to meet up with some friends for coffee!

Orange White Coffee anyone?

Hope all who celebrate it had a Happy Thanksgiving!

Hair loss no more!

2009-11-27T20:53:00.007+08:00

As you can see from the picture, the permanent straightening (rebonding) gives me softer, silky, super straight hair. The thing is, I have really thin hair and it made my hair look flat and limp. Fine, straight hair is absolutely beautiful — if you have a lot of it! When it comes to hairstyles for thin hair, there is not a great abundance of styles to choose from. Besides that, rebonding can also leave me bald because it uses more toxic chemicals. Yes, I read an article about hair rebonding and it says it can lead to hair loss! Hair loss can be extremely difficult to accept and deal with especially for women.

I did experience excessive hair loss once due to medication side effects. I was on several medications to try to control an acute viral illness, dengue fever and I started losing my hair. I felt horrible! It was indeed very depressing and scary. After recovering from dengue fever, I came back to KL and immediately started looking for any treatments that could help me. I contacted my hairdresser and he suggested me to do a strand-by-strand non-surgical treatment. If you're experiencing hair loss, then this could be perfect for you! To make a long story short, I was so pleased with the results and the treatment that I received!

However, should hair loss be experienced after perms etc. then you should avoid them. That is why you have to scrutinize whatever you use in your hair since improper use of products may cause potential hair loss. So, maintaining the rebonded look means continual touch-ups, at least, every 6 months. This puts you at further risk of hair loss, eventually, and prematurely, leaving your full head of hair nothing but a memory.

Now, I am bored of my hairstyle and I want something new! I am planning on hitting up the salon next week. Hmmm... What hairstyles would suit me best?

Salt Sea Salt

2009-11-24T05:43:00.004+08:00

Everyone's palate is different, but almost everyone's palate craves salt. Well, a little salt sea water certainly isn't going to hurt. But, too much salt can worsen symptoms like swelling and shortness of breath and cause weight gain. Ingesting more sodium than needed can lead to high blood pressure, a serious risk factor in heart disease and stroke. Therefore, over the years, Ocean's Flavor has experienced tremendous growth due to the public's demand for lower sodium products. In case you didn't know, Ocean's Flavor provides a natural lower-sodium, healthier and tasty alternative to traditional salt. Sea salt is a must for your gourmet table, either at home or out and about!

One fine day, Ralph made this mouthwatering and wonderful meal for lunch!

I really love salmon. With so many ways to cook salmon, and even more to enjoy it, he tried to grill the salmon steaks. It's so delicious that heavy sauces and marinades just get in the way of the natural goodness. The Ocean's Flavor lower sodium salt sea salt is fabulous on the salmon, too!

At first he combines ingredients which include fine sea salt and pepper and marinates the salmon steaks for 1 hour. Then, grill the salmon over medium flame for 6-8 minutes on each side or until fish flakes easily with a fork and continue to baste salmon while grilling with leftover marinade every 1 to 2 minutes. Cut extra lemon in half and squeezes the juice over the cooked salmon steaks. Lemon and salmon are delicious flavors to combine, and along with just a touch of something else, you can create a healthy, great tasting meal. Serve immediately with stir-fried vegetables. Perfect!

Organic weight loss plans

2009-11-19T23:34:00.043+08:00

I've been ~~daydreaming~~ eating a lot like a little piggy lately and you know that I'm not working out at all. Well, I blame it on the weather! It's been cold, dreary, and rainy for days.

Pasta Zanmai @ 1 Utama

2009-11-15T03:07:00.006+08:00

What is the first thing that comes to your mind when you hear the word "Pasta"? Obviously, you'd think about Italian food, right? After all, pasta comes from Italy.

However, the Japanese have also adopted pasta by creating Japanese pasta. I'm not sure about you, but I've never heard of Japanese pasta. Okay, I'm a self confessed Japanese or Italian food lover but I'm not a pasta lover. It was Edward's birthday last Sunday and the pasta lover was seeking for an adventure of sorts!

#1 Pasta Zanmai, a Japanese Casual Pasta Restaurant which serves Japanese-Italian fusion food at its casual best.

Being a frequent visitor and shopper of the shopping mall, I can walk past this row many times and miss this restaurant completely, somehow.

#2

#3 Pasta with chopstick?

#4

#5

At Pasta Zanmai, only one type of pasta is used – Japanese spaghetti, and it's presented in 50 different styles. Their version is rather contemporary as the pasta (spaghetti like noodles) is said to be lighter than Italian spaghetti.

Teri Hotate Piza comes with...

#6 Teriyaki Chicken Pasta

and

#7 Hotate (Scallop) Piza.

#8 Milky Green Tea.

#9 Ice Fruit Tea.

#10 Surume Ika (Squid).

Ebiten Unagi RC set Meal...

#11

#12

#13 Sunshine.

#14 Teriyaki Chicken.

#15 Unagi (Eel).

Overall, the food and service are both EXCELLENT and the prices are REASONABLE! After we had finished eating, the server brought out ~~his~~ my favorite

#16 Blueberry Cheesecake!

I am not sure what his favorite cake is, so I just chose my favorite one.

My Top 5 Treat List

2009-11-10T22:18:00.005+08:00

When I feel extravagant it might mean that I am inclined to acquire things as a personal reward for the work I have done. A nice hot bubble bath or spending time savoring the quietness of a secluded place either in my home or in nature can be more rewarding than something I bought. Taking special time will not only make me feel like I deserve to be self-indulgent, but also it will make me feel better about myself. While being self-indulgent occasionally is healthy, I might want to rethink the types of indulgences I give myself.

Since Christmas is coming up, let me share with you My Top 5 Treat List! Well, I have so many things that I desire and want for Christmas. Of course, that never quite happened and my attempts to be the world's greatest Christmas consumer never quite came to fruition.

Dear Santa, this year I've been so good that I should be the angel on top of the tree! There are some things that I would like for Christmas this year and I hope Santa will reply to me faster than reindeer fly!

My list is a mix of necessary, practical and don't-really-need-but-would-love. It includes:

1) Aladdin's Magic Carpet.

It can be used to transport me on it instantaneously or quickly to my destination. Imagine myself floating with the dancing wind, somewhere between the treetops and the clouds; there's no better way to see the Georgia sights around Atlanta than from my Magic Carpet...

2) The self-aware, super intelligent car known as KITT.

KITT's soothing voice that will greet me with various phrases such as, "Hello ~~Michael~~ Monica, where would you like to go today?"

This is the coolest car ever created and people will do anything to get their hands on it. The car has a supercomputer capable of hacking other computer systems, weapons, and its body can shape shift and change colors. Thanks to nanotechnology (and the magic of television). Plus, the car has artificial intelligence so it is the ultimate crime-fighting machine.

3) White Christmas.

I would love to wake up on Christmas morning and be greeted with a white blanket of snow! I am not talking about a "White Christmas" that your boyfriend gives you okay! I'm dreaming of a white Christmas, just like the ones...

4) Spend a day with Paris Hilton.

Throughout her fame, Paris Hilton has often been compared to Barbie thanks to her slim figure, perfect wardrobe, blonde hair and obsession with the color pink. I wonder what it would be like to have a sleepover with Paris or go on a shopping spree in her new shiny pink Bentley with her! Also, what a slumber party is like in Paris' world.

Pink my ride: Hilton's majestic Bentley Continental GT.

Last but not least, I wish to treat myself to a new laptop!!!

My latest favorite find...

5) The Dell Inspiron 13 laptop.

The design is, in a word, attractive. It combines a simple and clean design encased in glossy, on-trend colors; Obsidian Black, Alpine White and Cherry Red.

I've always wanted a laptop that will be easy to carry anywhere. With a starting weight of just under 5 pounds, it's light enough to tote around during the day and slim enough to fit into my handbag.

Smart features include a 13.3" high definition display, capacitive touch media buttons, 8-in-1 media card reader and slot-load DVD drive. For the gadget geeks, the built-in wireless networking, built-in webcam and Bluetooth connectivity should seal the deal. Enhanced wireless supports up to 802.11n connections. Plus the Dell™ Webcam Central lets me video chat with friends and family with amazing ease. Plus the 16:9 widescreen format means I never have to squint or lean up close to use the Inspiron 13, all inside a sleek design — a perfect balance in an unbalanced world!

The 6-cell battery (56Wh) is surprisingly capable on the Inspiron 13. With the screen set to maximum brightness, wireless on, and browsing the web the notebook squeezed out 4 hours and 9 minutes of battery life. If I'm watching a DVD on it, I'll get somewhere around 3 hours of battery life with the 6-cell.

What's more, with delivering 50% more performance, Intel® Centrino® 2 processor technologies lets me multitask at a whole different level. Overall I have to say that the Inspiron 13 is a visually appealing laptop with solid build quality. That explains why this small, light, highly efficient mobile PC is my next dream treat!

Come to me, Cherry Red! ♥

Hugs and Kisses...

*send my letter to Santa*

Ho Ho Ho! There goes my top 5 treat list I'd like for Christmas. I probably won't get them all, but maybe it is possible that I can get at least one of them, right? We can all dream, can't we?? Sometimes making a list like this is not just an exercise in daydreaming. Close your eyes and scan your past for clues. They're there. Just wait...

Oh, by the way, you can use this special coupon code 7ZQVQF2RLZRKW3 from Dell that would allow any of you to purchase a Dell Inspiron 13 (S510701MY) with RM100 Instant Cash Redemption!! This promotion is only available online or by calling them at 1800-88-0301. So, hurry up!

Until next time, life is such a treat... don't you think?

Music Monday - Say It Isn't So by Gareth Gates

2009-11-09T08:56:00.005+08:00

It's Sesame Street's 40th Birthday

2009-11-07T20:34:00.008+08:00

on November 10th.

Wow! It's hard to believe that Sesame Street has just turned 40 years old this year! I remember watching the show as a kid and I'd be captivated by the colorful characters on the screen. I think it's great that if it's still on and they change it to adapt to kids nowadays.

Ralph says his favorite character has always been Elmo and he can clearly remember some of the greatest episodes and episodes on everyone's favorite street.

Ralph & Elmo.

However, my favorite character is Cookie Monster who notoriously demands cookies and devours everything in sight, an action accompanied by the satisfied sound of 'Om nom nom nom.' Even though I'm a little old for Sesame Street now I still love the furry blue dude!

I took this quiz from Blogthings just for fun and here's my result...

You Are Cookie Monster

Misunderstood as a primal monster, you're a true hedonist with a huge sweet tooth.

You are usually feeling: Hungry. Cookies are preferred, but you'll eat anything if cookies aren't around.

You are famous for: Your slightly crazy eyes and usual way of speaking

How you life your life: In the moment. "Me want COOKIE!"

The Sesame Street Personality Quiz

Why I am not surprised? It's all about the cookie, mmm, the cookie, yeah, the cookie! *Om nom nom nom*

Well, I may never see Cookie Monster eat a pipe again, but luckily the memories are preserved on DVD, and in my heart. Happy birthday, Sesame Street. Here's to 40 years more!

So, who is your favorite Sesame Street character? Or what were your favorite shows and characters as a child?
Have a great weekend everyone!

The Reds

I usually have painted nails. I'm obsessed with painting my nails and I paint my nails a different color every week just because it feels good to me! In the '80s, long pointy nails rocked, and in the '90s, long rounded nails were styling. This season, short red nails are red hot!

What about you? Are your nails usually covered with nail varnish, or do you leave them bare? Like dressing, your nails too speak aloud of your inner personality and mood. So don't forget to take care of your nails. It is not just a style quotient! Nails are perhaps the most seen part of your body. So they have to be kept clean and beautiful while firm as well.

I am sure you have heard of Nails Inc, the world's largest nail bar chain offering quick, affordable, high-quality, branded nail services. Yes, Nails Inc provides a wide range of products that enables you to decorate your nails in different shades, maintain your hands and feet in a proper condition, as well as pamper them in the comfort of your own home. Also, all their high quality range of nail polish and nail care products are available on their website! Don't forget, nail care isn't exclusive to the hands - your feet need pampering too!

I'm currently obsessed with all things trendy and British; bonus points if they're beauty-related. Check out these ten gorgeous limited edition shades which come with a must-have charm each!

Aren't they adorable? Sigh. I LOVE THEM ALL!

The collection comprises five best-selling colors, each named after a London hot spot, plus five brand new hues for SS09. Charms for the London set reflect the brand's British heritage (think black cab, the Crown Jewels and a Union Jack) and the spring/summer shades have a holiday theme (look out for an ice lolly, polka dot bikini and bucket and spade). So whether you're a Shoreditch chick (that's the bright pink polish) or more of a Park Lane princess (that's the purple for you), there's a color that's right up your street. So, which shade do you like best?

Oh, by the way, my brother went on vacation to the UK, Italy and France and of all the things in the world; he bought me that giant strawberry flavored lollipop (pictured above)! What a lovely brother!

What's your dream car?

2009-10-31T23:48:00.001+08:00

Most of the guys I know are incredibly passionate about 2010 Volkswagen New Beetle.

However, my dream car is the 2010 Subaru Legacy which has been fully redesigned!

Highlights include a roomier and updated interior, more powerful engines and dramatic new styling. It also improves crash-worthiness and provides a stiffer platform for a smoother, quieter ride but retains the crisp handling and balance Subarus are known for. At first glance, there's no mistaking that the new 2010 Subaru Legacy is larger and more substantial. What's not to love? I hope to have this car forever! I love the look of it, it's a solid choice. Sadly, I am not in a financial position to afford one.

I am not an expert on the detail. But in TheCarConnection.com, there are news and opinions on the latest, hottest, greenest and fastest new vehicles on the market and what's coming down the road. Well, you can take a closer look at the all new cars at TheCarConnection.com including 2010 buick lucerne pics, volkswagen passat pics and toyota tacoma pics. Oh, there's an interesting article called "Ugliest Cars Of The Past 50 Years? You Might Be Surprised." Go check it out!

Now I wonder how long it will take me to get my dream car.

GOT BOOBIES?

2009-10-29T16:58:00.006+08:00

Yeah, I got a pair of boobies! Every woman's got a pair of boobies. Boobies are everywhere, in adverts, on TV and in mags.

But how breast aware are you? How much do you really know about breast cancer? Do you think you are aware of the latest news and information? Well, you're probably aware that October is Breast Cancer Awareness Month.

MOST COMMON CANCER IN MALAYSIAN WOMEN

Breast cancer is the most common cancer among Malaysian women and accounted for almost one-third of the total number of cancer cases among this gender.

A woman in Malaysia has a 'one in 20' chance of developing breast cancer in her lifetime.

Yet not all women understand and can perform self-examination of their breasts and are willing to undergo regular breast cancer screening by trained health professionals.

Consequently, breast cancer is diagnosed in late stages in Malaysian women despite the availability of screening centres and education campaigns.

According to a Ministry of Health survey in 1996, only 46.9 per cent of women reported some form of breast cancer examination.

One reason why women have turned away from the screenings could be that the fear of men's rejection.

In a survey conducted by the NCWO, 65 per cent of men agreed that fear of their husband's reaction was a reason why women did not go for breast cancer screening.

The fact remains that breast cancer is the number one cancer killer in Malaysian women. Being diagnosed with cancer can be frightening. But understanding what's going on inside your body can help you be aware of what's causing your feelings of anxiety.

AliceWonders.com is launching an unconventional charity campaign named "GOT BOOBIES?" to raise awareness about breast cancer and TUO is showing its support for this provocative campaign! The core mission of the campaign is to remind young women (and men!) to "check their boobies".

Why use the word "BOOBIES"?
Many young women tune out messages about breast cancer because they don't believe they are at risk or the messages are too clinical. We know that research shows that regular self examination is just as effective at identifying lumps or other breast changes. And that's exactly why we're here -- to give you "a friendly reminder when you least expect it".

So get feeling girls, and remind a friend to do the same! Don't be shy about checking them. It's absolutely vital and it could save your life.

The campaign is divided into 3 main parts:

- Providing information about breast cancer

- Wear pink and go SHOP + join their treasure hunt

- Spread the word by putting a BOOBICON on your own site

Hey, breast cancer occurs mainly in women, but men CAN get it, too!!! It's rare, but it is possible.

Utah ski vacation

2009-10-28T22:19:00.002+08:00

I woke up feeling well rested and feeling GREAT! I was greeted with a hearty meal and made me feel SPECIAL! After that, I got up refreshed and I was planning to hit the slopes first thing in the morning. I was overwhelmed the moment I arrived Park City. It's snowing in Utah! 500 inches of deep light powder that blows up behind me with every turn. "Oooooh... The Powder" I told myself "it's just a dream, this isn't real, WAKE UP!" I looked up and I was greeted again by another snowflake.

Utah is known for three things: incredible snow, easy access, and the total range of lodging possibilities that fit any budget. Snow, accessibility, affordability, what more could you want? Nestled at the base of the Town lift is historic Park City, teeming with galleries, theaters, restaurants, bar night clubs, coffee houses, micro-breweries, shops, spas, and more. Rated one of the top-ten best ski towns in America by Skiing magazine, it's the perfect place to be when you're not on the hill. Before you head to Park City, make sure you have made arrangements for ski equipment rentals from Park City Ski Rentals so you're ready to hit the slopes first thing in the morning instead of standing in a rental line!

Well, I am a never-ever skier, so I was clueless and constantly struggling for balance. After a few minutes, that felt like a life time had passed, someone came and approached me. As I began to turn my head to see my hero, I woke up!!!

Oh, it's just another dream!

My Silver Starfish Pendant

2009-10-28T07:41:00.002+08:00

Silver jewelry is one of the most common types of jewelry that I often purchase. From silver necklaces and bracelets to silver rings, charms and pendants, silver jewelries are fine pieces that I wear both for casual and special occasions. They are amazing to look at and the best part is that they are not too expensive also. But most famous these days, are the silver pendants! All my pendants are one of a kind and this is my favorite starfish pendant!

Oh, by the way I was told starfish are known to bring good luck. The starfish is commonly believed to symbolize various concepts such as fertility, happiness, wealth, peace and love or even the Virgin Mary. Well, regardless of the belief, the act of receiving this impressive jewelry surely made me happy!

The starfish is the tender's image of the sea, bringing to life sweet memories of sand and gentle waves and long afternoons spent exploring the edges of the ocean.

This silver pendant perfectly captures this image and brings it to a necklace I'd be excited to wear every day!

Help! I look like Rudolph!

2009-10-26T19:27:00.007+08:00

I woke up this morning and I couldn't believe what I saw in the mirror. Oh My! I have the biggest pimple in the world right now and it's driving me insane! FML This annoying huge red bump is sitting on the tip of my nose.

Urgh. I really look like.....

Rudolph the Red-Nosed Reindeer!!!!

So, how to get rid of a giant zit fast and keep me from looking like Rudolph? If anyone has any suggestions for me, I would truly appreciate it. Thanks in advance.

1. The crickets sing, and I sing with them.

2. Think of me wherever you are.

3. I want to get far away from the stress of daily life.

4. He (NOT Ralph) hugged me so tight that I felt suffocated. He smiled at me and said, "I'll stay here because of you." My heart melted. My eyes were teary and everything was almost blurry. We kissed and then...................................................... I woke up; this was a dream.

5. But as for me, I shall walk in my integrity; Redeem me, and be gracious to me.

6. Dear Confused, I come from Sabah, not Sarawak!

7. And as for the weekend, tonight I'm looking forward to having a nice meal, tomorrow my plans include meeting my brother and Sunday, I want to go shopping!

One-of-a-kind photo Christmas cards

2009-10-21T22:26:00.007+08:00

I'm a Christian and I absolutely love Christmas time! I love the fact that there is a great deal of traditional music associated with this period of time. I must admit I get sentimental when I see the lights start going up too. Yes, I loved the lights, the decorations, the trees, the carols, and the whole whoop-de-doo of Christmas, with my whole young heart.

Since leaving school the number of Christmas cards hanging up has declined year after year. For me now Christmas cards mean a lot as they are usually sent and received to and from those who mean a lot to me and who have managed to remain in contact either in person from time to time or via email/post. So despite the number of cards dropping into the post box, I treasure the ones I receive.

I went about surfing ChristmasCards.uk.com and was amazed at the varied specific Christmas cards available, such as recycled Christmas cards, photo Christmas cards, corporate Christmas cards and charity Christmas cards. I chose photo Christmas cards that caught my attention! It's so simple and it's fun to create when there is no limit or restrictions on what you are allowed to do with your greeting card. Just upload your photos, choose from a wide range of borders and photo clip art, compose your wording and see the results straight away.

These Christmas cards are very popular for those who use the season as the best time to update family members and friends living far away with their most recent photos. It becomes a good remembrance item as well and gives the Christmas card a more intimate feel. Go check it out and start making your photo christmas cards!

Smashed Chicken & Prawn

When Ralph craves something to eat, it means he MUST HAVE IT! Last week, he was craving for Ayam Penyet (Smashed Chicken) desperately, like a pregnant woman! So, we headed to Kota Damansara. Unfortunately, the restaurant is closed. He suggested we try another restaurant in Dataran Sunway Mentari. I was afraid that he couldn't survive a day without it. So I agreed.

We were ridiculously happy (people would have thought we just won our first million) to see the restaurant was still open when we reached there.

Okay here comes the traditional Indonesian food!

A quarter crispy chicken, a piece each of fried bean curd and tempe, some boiled kangkong, fresh cabbage, BLAZING HOT sambal belachan and bits of crunchy golden brown fried fritter topping on the chicken.

Udang Penyet (Smashed Prawn). All mine!

Ohhhhh my... so delicious but my lips were on fire after that meal!!!

Good, his craving has been satisfied.

Yet I'm CRAVING that right now.

Oh my goodness. It seems I've completely abandoned my blog!!! I've never gone 1 week without posting before. I just haven't had a chance to sit down at home to update my blog, I have been extremely busy and I hardly had time to breathe! At the end of the day, I'm too tired to do anything else. After a long day of working and partying hard, it is not surprising when I am left feeling tired and wound-up. Also, after several days of shopping, I ended up buying something I don't need. I know it is not a good bargain!

Now I need to give my feet a break. So online shopping is a good option. I browse the shopping deals at Buxr and look at it as an opportunity to get more for less. I have fun exploring Buxr as it is a social bargain hunting site where community members gather to share hot shopping deals. Buxr does not actually sell any of the products listed on the deals site or the widget. Anytime you click a link on the deal site or widget, you are leaving Buxr and are redirected to the merchant supplying the deal. For instance, I can go through the whole collection of Sexy Little Things® and Victoria's Secret Pink® by just clicking the mouse because as far as I know, there is no Victoria's Secret store in Malaysia. So that's a good thing!

I've had mine, now you get yours, ladies!
