Home Sweet Home

I am home from my vacation. How nice to be home. Please bear with me for a little while more because I have 667 unread posts in my google reader and I am in the midst of organizing my blogroll. So, if you don't see your blog in my blogroll, do not worry. It will be there very soon.

Shop Online

I have been using the internet to do many things such as to pay bills, to track shipments and to purchase goods. It is so convenient that with just a click of the mouse, everything is done in just a few seconds without us having to be stuck in a traffic jam and without us having to queue up for our turn. It just helps to save time and energy.


I have shopped for nursing wears and baby products online and I like the whole concept of shopping online. Nowadays, I shop for many things online. I came across Secondact, an online retail website which offers a variety of high-definition televisions (HDTV) both refurbished and new from factory closeouts and overstocks. There are many brands and sizes to choose from and most importantly the prices are very competitive compared to others. Apart from that, there is a feature called “Great Deal of the Day” where we can find further discount for a featured item for that particular day. Isn’t it great? It actually helps us to save money!


So, if my husband ever mention about changing a television, I would take him on a tour to Secondact to search for a suitable television set for our home.

A Table Lamp For My Son

Karl will be in primary one next year. I am a little tensed and worried that he might not be able to cope. However, I keep telling myself that Karl has to learn how to adapt in the new environment and learn how to be independent. I can’t be protecting him forever, can I?

I am thinking of setting a study place for Karl with a study table and a table lamp or a desk lamp for him to study and to do his homework. The lamp would be important. In Europe, people prefer yellow lights but in Malaysia, most people like fluorescent light. I really do not know which is better but I do not want him to end up like me, wearing spectacles.

So, I better start planning and shopping for the appropriate study table, chair and table lamp.

Not Enough Bedroom?

Most people do not have this problem that I have now - not enough bedroom for my kids. So, my children are still sleeping in my room. Yes, the THREE of them!

So, how do we sleep with 3 kids and 2 adults? Initially, we put 2 king size bed lined up side by side and it took up half the room. Then, we thought it's time to train the kids, especially Karl (6)and Wayne (4) to sleep on their own. Having said that, we do not have available rooms anymore as the rooms are taken up by my brother, my maid and my hubby's friend.

What to do? That's what we did:

Hubby bought a tent (Jazzmint bought one for a different purpose) and we put one of the king size bed in it to make it look like a room. Now, the kids have their OWN MINI ROOM and hubby and I have our own!
