Going For Lasik

I have been declared short-sighted since I was 12. Those thick glasses has been very awful in my appearance. I decided to invest in contact lenses when I was 16 till today. I can't imagine how much I have spent in those contact lenses and solutions throughout the years.

Due to aging, my eyes turn out to be drier than ever. This made me switch from permanent lenses to disposable lenses. Anyway, the condition doesn't seem to be improved a lot. I cannot put on contact lenses more than eight hours, or else my eyes would be in red. *sigh*

When people talk about Lasik, I do have an urge in it. I guess I would have save a lot with a pair of healthier eyes after Lasik. I believe in the survey of FDA Lasik and hope to know more about this new technology. To pick the best Lasik doctor is the most important thing of all then.

Night Clubbing At ZENZO

I couldn't sleep throughout Tuesday night. My tummy was bloated, most probably due to the oily food taken in the afternoon. I even caught slight fever when woke up the next morning. I felt like vomitting till I couldn't walk and send my kids to school.

I was determined to nap for the whole afternoon, as I must recharged my energy for the event that night. It was my hubby's pub opening night. I insisted to drag my weak body for the night clubbing as my friends are going too.



ZENZO Bar & Bistro among the Greentown Business Centre area.




Hubby recommended new drinks to me. He said that it suits ladies' taste. Of course, the drinks contain low percentage of alcohol. I just took a few sip as my stomach was still not so well. Not sure which flavour I took, but I don't like the taste. It tasted like cough mixture to me. Maybe, I still recalled the taste of medicine I took earlier the day!


There was something embarrasing happened on that night!


Can anyone notice something funny here? For sure, everyone can! Seem like Lovelymummy and I have the same instinct. No wonder we are good friends for so long..... LOL

Shoppingmum is right. We should consider picking up knitting interest. Anyway, it is a bit too costly for me at this moment. Maybe in future, own knit wear could be the unique apparel for myself!




We didn't dance that night. Maybe we didn't drink much till we steam and made our bodies move. We just enjoyed the live band and chit chat with friends. I couldn't stay longer as I needed to rest early. I went home at around 11:30pm, but my man still had to stay and work. Well, business was not bad that night. Well done and keep it up, hubby!

Am I Still Attractive?

Well, well, I couldn't believe that I have a crush on someone today. I used to go online in Old Town Kopitiam where I met this man. He was with another friend, and I sensed that someone was watching me while I was busy blogging. This young man then walked up to my table and introduced himself. He wanted to make friend with me. He was a bit shattered in his words. I was a bit surprised too.

Anyway, there was something funny in the scene. He asked about my name and job. Without a second hesitate, I told him that I'm not working. Well, it's common for a married lady to be unemployed. He gave me a shocking sigh ..... "huh!"...... He must be wondering why a young girl like this never go out to work. He must have some misunderstanding and just rounded up his conversation by saying that we could go for tea one day. I just simply replied.... "Orr!" since he didn't ask for any contact, nothing to promise or worry then!

I felt amused whenever I thought of his reaction when he knew that I'm not working. Maybe he was out on something like wanting to close a sale from me. Some kind of sales man.... ??? Nah...what to bother! Just pray that he is not someone bad with intentions.

I must have more confident to myself, that 'I AM STILL ATTRACTIVE!'. Hahaha! =D

Cough And Cough Non-Stop

I'm down with some kind of flu and viral infection. Sore throat pain reduced, but still with running nose and worse still, I cough non-stop. Those infectious phlegms are loaded in me and irritate my throat. It causes my throat to be itchy and I want to cough all the time. I just can't get a good night sleep.... :(

I didn't visit any doctor, as I am taking herbs. I don't want to take anymore antibiotics again. I am now trying to fight those virus with own immune system. Hope that I could be successful this time. It has been dragged for almost a week.

Cheap Prepaid International Phone Cards

I always thought that credit cards are essential in today's lifestyle for everyone. Anyway, prepaid phone cards have also been one of the must carry item if you are the one who always fly overseas. Yes, anyone can call back to their hometown with their roaming service handphone wherever they are across the sea, but have they considered about the expenses charged on the handphone bill? It would be definitely a large amount.

Now, cheap prepaid phone cards can be purchased easily from TheRichCom.com ! We can somehow save a lot when keeping in touch with our loved ones while calling international destinations ranging from Asia to middle East and Europe. If I am away with hubby for just a short tour overseas, I would surely buy a prepaid international phone card for myself. I must call home to make sure my two lovely kids are living well each day when mummy is not around.

This website provides an easy search for the best rate international phone card by just choosing the country to call from. The calling cards are then delivered online instantly. There are so many promotions going on which include some cash back bonuses each day. Customers would surely find this website useful and good.

The Face Shop Beauty Products



I have been using Loreal skincare products for a year. I can't say they are not good, but I feel that the product are too greasy for my skin. I'm now trying out TheFaceShop skincare products. Their products are famous in Korea and Japan. The promoters told me that most of the Korean celebrities are using their products.

I tried their ECO VERT Extreme Moisture Serum and Fitting Up Essence. This previous one is claimed to be without preservative and colouring while the latter contains raspberry root extracts which help to tighten the skin and beautify the contours of the face. Most of the ingredients in products are from natural plants and herbs extracts.

I even try Sake Calming Bath. Really hiao hiao... :p Anyway, it has a pleasant gentle smell and my skin feels soothing and bright after shower. Well, the price for the products are average and the most important is, I don't feel sticky and greasy after applying those skincare products!

3gb Community

Sometimes I really miss my housemates during my university life. I had so much fun staying with them. Ever since we graduated, I lost contact with them for years. I wonder how their lives are now. I hope to meet up with them again one day. Shall I join 3gb community www.3gb.biz to try my luck? I guess no harm trying too. Besides, I can get to know new friends from this website as well. One stone kills two birds. Good choice!

Unknown Skin Allergy On My Thigh

Before After

I got this mark on my thigh almost more than six months. I don't know how I got this. Maybe it is due to the hormone changes in the body after delivery. It was very red all the while. Spots could be seen clearly on my fair skin. People thought that it is a love bite! LOL I dare not wear any shorts when going out. I tried applying everything on it, but still couldn't get rid of it. Not even the skin specialist could help in this case.

I nearly gave up, when my mum reminded me of this skin specialist in Silibin, Dr. Sri Selva. I was once cured by him when I had a patch of itchy rashes around my neck during my teenage. He prescribed this yellow clear cream and advised me to apply on the affected part few times a day.


He has one patient who has some unidentified red marks on her arms. Those marks were gone after using the cream for half a year. I'm using the second container, and the result shows improvement. The red spots are lightened and smear now.

Hopefully it will go away after applying the cream for a few more months. Or else, the specialist has to cut a small piece of my skin out for lab test if I really want to know what it is and cure it directly. I'm scared as the wound is needed to be stitched back. Yerrr.....I don't want to be hurt! :(

Bed And Breakfast Paris

I am looking forward to Paris bed and breakfast package tour with hubby. I have longed for a second honeymoon with him ever since we married for five years. I hope to get the best environmental Paris Hotels, of course with the best reasonable rates. Anyway, I guess most of the Hotel Paris are really in good condition as Paris is famous for its romantic and relaxing travel spot. I wonder when my dream will come true. *sigh*

Certified Nurse Assistant Career

I give a few choices of prospective careers to my ambitious godsister. I encourage her that Certified Nurse Assistant (cna) career is going to be popular very soon. She can pursue cna courses in either California or Florida. There are many well-known cna schools to be explored in the website. Cna must undergo 48 hours of in-service cna training or college courses every two years to renew their license. It is really not easy to be a qualified cna as the person must carry the characters of devotion and caring personality.



Sonographer In Demand

My godsister is already in Secondary One. She often discusses about her ambition and career path in future with me. I suggest that she could consider about degree programs in sonography schools overseas. Career in sonography tech is expected to evolve rapidly in the next coming five years. Due to the aging of the population and the increased demand for sonographic procedures, well-trained sonographers will be in great demand. I advise my godsister not to reject being a sonography technician when graduates. Take that chance to gain more experience so that she will have a better offer in the next association. She agrees fully with my opinion.

Poor Quality Of Apparels

What is it again? I often grumble nowadays, maybe due to my metabolism aging and hormonal changes. LOL ! Hopefully it won't be worst when I'm old next time.

I have my favourite boutique in town. I will hop in every boutique to shop for apparels but eventually, I will only end up buying a lot in my favourite boutique. I used to feel that their fashion and price suit my requirements. I like the service there, and somehow the promoters are very friendly to me. But then, I am a bit disappointed in their clothes lately. I like sharp-coloured clothes and I find that the colours can easily come out once rinsed in water. Listen carefully here. Plain water without detergent! The colours can easily stain on my other clothes if not taken care properly. I hate that. My Guess bag has been the victim earlier!

I am going to complain to the staff there. I have no intend to insult but try to make them aware and improve their products' quality. I am also one of their regular customer mar....I have the right.

Used Car Advertising And Searching

Hubby has wasted so much in changing cars ever since we get married, from new to old and vise versa. Cars' value will only depreciate without asset value at all. When he was earning a lot last time, he indulged in getting new and even used luxury cars. Anyway, due to our unstable family financial status lately, hubby plans to exchange his highly maintenance car to normal family used car. This could have save him a lot in maintenance and petrol.

At first, we are doubt in getting used cars. We may need to spend a lot in repairing when taking over. We are not guaranteed on a good conditioned car, and it all depends on our luck. As a buyer, it is important to know how to inspect a used car both before and after a test drive. Fortunately, BuyYourCar.co.uk offers great advice on how to avoid being scammed. This website provides excellent advice on what to ask the seller, safe buying tips and also an 18 points buyer’s checklist! This is very useful to ignorant fresh buyers somehow.

Hubby is still uncertain of which type of car he is looking for. I suggest him to search through the wide selection of used cars offered at the best prices by both private sellers and used car dealerships in BuyYourCar.co.uk. He can specify his options and search for the used car which matches his requirements. He can now save more time and money since he is very busy with his work.

Comparing Cable Internet Services

I am nearly giving up my internet access at home. I have been encountering automatic line cut off problem since every now and then. I could hardly access the internet and get my job done completely. What could I do to improve my situation here?

Shall I consider taking broadband service with cable internet service as it is much faster than dial up access? I can browse through the website to compare cable internet services like Cox, Comcast, Cox, Road Runner and Charter about their unique advantages and price packages.

Besides enjoying the discount deals offered, I can obtain abundle information from the website. For example, the way to speed up a computer and also articles about ways to protect our computers from spyware and adware. I can learn a lot about internet knowledge from this useful website. This is a place for me to value add myself.

My Guess Bag, Gone!

Those who follow me from my ancestor blog may know that I received a Valentine's present earlier this year from hubby, right? It was my dream Guess bag.



Disaster happened yesterday! I was wearing a blue jean. That lousy jean caused blue stains on my lovely handbag! My God! Finish! It won't be a perfect bag to me anymore. :(

Shocking right? The jean was not wet, neither was my handbag. How did the colour come out? I suspected that it was due to the friction between the two material. I can't show in this post, as it is not obvious when published in photo. To me, the colour is obvious, even though it's light blue. Shall I say I was lucky too, as those stains were at the back of the handbag! *sigh* Yeah, still can be used. Why waste??

I hate that jean! Dumped it right after I reached home that night! No more second chance for it!!

How naive I was to bring the bag to Guess store in Jusco hoping for rescue this afternoon. Unfortunately, the staff has no idea about the remedy.

Bad Credit Credit Cards And Loans




To own a credit card is the lifestyle of today's people. Hubby and I have credit cards too. The thing that worries me is, hubby has a bad habit of delaying credit card payments each month. This may cause him to get into bad credit status. I know that there are some lenders offering bad credit credit cards and bad credit loans in the market. Well, I just feel that we should keep our names clean and follow every possible rules.

Have You Been Fooled? -- "April Fool's Day"

The world knows about the 1st of April, our April Fool's Day! I was lucky because I didn't get into any tricks from anyone. I can say I was bored and sad because no one fools me around for fun. Anyway, have you been fooled by someone?

Today is a day for remembrance too. We can read and hear about the late famous singer, Leslie Cheung who passed away five years ago from the press and radio. I was once thought the shattered news of his death as a joke from April Fool that time. Unfortunately, we did lose this Hong Kong superstar forever!

Well, nobody is certain about the origin and history of this foolish day. Maybe, you are interested to grab a look at its uncertain origin?


Just be happy and have fun!

Happy April Fool !!!

Surveys Make Money

I knew about this site through Smorty forum. It is a place for you to earn by writing survey forms. Each survey done will get you paid $4! Just write around 3 sentences about your opinions on each website provided. Sounds easy huh!

I have submitted only one survey, and collected $6 in my account now. I need to collect at least $75 in my account before I can cash out through PayPal. How far is it true? I am yet to find out. I still have to complete almost 18 pieces more survey forms before I could get my earnings. I thought of experience it before I announce this great site to you all, but I can't wait to share this good news.

Hopefully it does pay us for what we have serviced. For those who are interested and want to give it a try, go click on the link provided above my post, and create your free account now!

Romantic Story Of "An Empress And The Warriors"


I thought this movie must be very boring at first. I was forced to watch the movie last night as my friend had bought the tickets for hubby and me.

The movie has indeed given me a different view on it. Yes, the story is all about war in the ancient China, where people fought for power and land possession. But, when I watched further, the story began to be interesting. I enjoyed those romantic scenes between Kelly Chen and Leon Lai. How I wish I could fly with my lover with the large hot-air balloon made by rags! So sweet!


For those who likes action shots, Donnie Yen's kung fu would surely satisfy your indulgence.


Synopsis: The story is set in ancient China before its unification, during which countless kingdoms battle for supremacy. Yen Feier (played by Kelly Chen) is thrust onto the throne when her father is killed in battle. Feier and her loyal Muyong Xuehu (played by Donnie Yen) unite to defend the kingdom. But her ambitious cousin Wu Ba (played by Guo Xiao-dong) sends assassins to kill her. A mysterious man Duan Lan-Quan (played by Leon Lai) saves her. Feier falls in love with Duan who offers her another life. With the fate of her kingdom in the balance, Feier must choose between duty and her dreams.

My New Image

Welcome again to my blog! My loyal readers must have felt a total change in my webpage here, don't you?

Actually I was facing some system bugs in my previous blogs in blogspots, which are "Mummy In Vain's Little World" and "Yum Yum Cuisine". I'm sure some of you might have difficulties when trying to enter my blogs. The above url have been changed by blogger system. I can't do anything with it. The most saddened thing was, I couldn't reach the blogger support team for help.

I have no choice but to abandon my ancestor blogs. I sign up blogger again with the same url address. Surprisingly, the url address is still available and it still carries a PR2! I'm not sure whether this works out or not, but I'm already here to publish my new constructed personal blog. Does this theme look great? I like it, as it represents my image.

Hope that I continue to receive supports from my friends and readers.
