I got an email from my webhosting to ask me to renew my hosting subscription. And hey, suddenly I realised that I have been in this domain for 2 years! Of course blogging history is much longer than that, which is about 4 and half years by now.
As you can see, I am slowly losing my passion to blog as I used to. Another blogger blames it on Facebook; a more efficient way that she uses to update all her friends, not to mention the convenience of the application.
But I am not ready to give up this domain just yet; after all I could see a lot of visitors daily; some friends and some from search engine.
Maybe I should find an alternative than paying the hefty sum of the web hosting subscription every year. After some searching, I found that some webhosting is offering a better package in term of the subscription fees, bandwidth and space. Of course, traffic plays an important point for consideration as well. I can easily compare the packages for the top wordpress web hosting at WebHosting Rating, not to mention the many useful articles.
But the big question now is to continue or not; or perhaps switch back to the free blogging platform?

Two Lipstick and A Lover
Filed Under book | Leave a Comment
Finally finished the Two Lipstick and A Lover within about 2 weeks. I just love this book and hope to get other book written by Helena Frith Powell; at about the same range of price, hopefully!
Every chapter of the book tells about a subject of French women, be it their living style, FASHION, culture, work, food or man. It is very interesting to discover the differences of them with the people in UK, or any part of the world.
While I was reading it, I hope the book will never end. I will of course read them again in the future! There are plenty of good tips as well as eye-opener for me! ^.^
For example, French women will not get caught wearing trainers even when they are going to the market! A lipgloss is essential when
they are bringing the trash out! And art is a major thing in French. Intellectual plays as big as a role as beauty in French!
Fascinating!

Bargains~!
Filed Under me, life | 2 Comments
I’ve been renting books since beginning of this year, or was it last year? And the prices are still cheaper than new book but not really if compared with books on sales!
I got these three on bargained prices at Big Book Sales at Atria Shopping Mall, only $6 each! Amazing prices!
In Japan, people live longer than anywhere else on Earth; obesity is unknown, and 40-year-old women look like they're 20. Filled with recipes and reminiscences, this book is for those who are tired of counting calories and carbs, and finding themselves on diets that don't work. It offers a fresh approach to a healthier and longer lifestyle.
Why is it that French women look just as glamorous in a T-shirt and pair of jeans as in a sleek designer dress? How do they look sexy, chic and timelessly elegant from eighteen to eighty? Pencil-thin, stylishly dressed and, always, impeccably groomed?
In search of answers, travel and lifestyle journalist Helena Frith Powell goes behind the scenes to investigate the famous French je ne sais quoi. Talking to fashion gurus, beauty experts and It Girls, professional seducers, lingerie designers and personal shoppers, she discovers a whole new world: indispensable wardrobe and beauty secrets; shopping done the right way and exercise routines promising lasting success; advice on sex toys, family life, relationships and clandestine affaires.
Not to mention the more amazing price for a pair of Levi’s at $80 at the warehouse sales at the same mall, today is the last day though. Happy with my shopping loots.
Although I was able to refrain myself from buying that pretty black knitted top at Isetan Mega Sales on Friday, I caved in to these books and jeans.
Happy with my shopping loots. ^.^
Also attended sort-of gays party on Saturday night; a real eye opener for me, another level deeper in understanding the fancy community. And I enjoyed their high-class-bitching in a humorous and friendly way. Not to mention the good food & awesome service! Thanks.

House Warming
Filed Under stuff3 | Leave a Comment
Somehow I was rather looking forward the housewarming party invitation from AD on Saturday night. The condo was situated in the city center and I love the view from the 18th floor.
AD has nicely renovated the condo, with kitchen cabinets, tiles on the walls, impressive bathrooms and plaster ceilings.
I love his choices of furniture; the strong dining table, lovely sofa and not forgetting the modern bed in the master bedroom. It is certainly a smart pick from ERoomService, blending everything together harmoniously.
It’s a very comfortable and yet modern condo. Not to mention great food; most of them homemade! Fabulous!

Spotting Squirrels~
Filed Under me, life | 4 Comments
While walking in my housing area, I always look out for the little, agile little squirrel that move so swiftly that you wonder if you really saw it or is it just a thread of your imagination. But it is there, sometimes.
Once in a while, I could see them scurrying into a bush or drain, ever so quickly. And it never ceases to put a smile on my face. It is so rare to see a squirrel in our country housing area, in a city I mean.
LY, DT, I believe that squirrel brings good luck for my day. Apart from believing in science and google, seems like I do believe in something so absurd too. =)

It’s Coming!!!
Filed Under me, life | 8 Comments
And I feel it sprouting.
Right at the corner, way at the back, thinking that I wouldn’t realise its existence.
But I did.
I felt that it was pushing, shoving its way out, however vaguely.
I couldn’t help but to feel it whenever I am idle, or not.
Trying to see if it is for real this time.
And I am anticipating the pain.
A little excited.
Finally?
Will the wisdom comes with it?
Why else would it be named such a way?
I have sort of been waiting for it.
Though at another corner of my heart, I wish it is just another fraction of my imagination.
It could be bad.
It could ruin my 20 months of effort.
It could cost me another bomb.
But now all I can do is wait..
And welcome it. 
Update : Suspecting of false alarm.. oppps.

Stark Life
Filed Under me, life | 5 Comments
Yesterday I heard of a tragic news.
A distance acquaintance’s brother committed suicide today; he was barely 19 years old. The surprising thing when I heard of this news was that instead of wondering why people would do such things, I sort of felt that it was things that sometimes people do.
I felt that I somehow could comprehend why this was happening and why people would reach this stage in life to make such decision.
Although I might not know what really was happening in his life for him to end it so abruptly, leaving all the loved ones to grieve over his death and deal with his issues, if any.
I remembered when I was young, suicide did occur to me although it was more to frustration and lack of appreciation and meaning of life (or thinking that I might get the attention that I wanted although it wouldn’t serve much purpose if I am just not breathing..). I don’t know but I always foolishly thought that if I am going to die, I might as well as use up all my money first. At one point I have over eighty bucks which I felt that it was too much to leave it un-spend and die. =.=” (irony, come to think of it now..)
Anyway, the thing is I felt that I started to understand is why people are in certain state of mind or would do things that once I couldn’t understand at all. (It doesn’t mean that I have less sympathy over it but just that I could more readily accept it and in less shock than I once would..)
Have I started to see the reality of life more clearly? Or has the protective, beautiful bubbles in my life burst, leaving me to the stark reality of life?
Well, I guess it’s time to put down my rose tinted glasses and face the life’s true colours..

SkyTrex at Bukit Cahaya.
Filed Under fun, colleague | 3 Comments
I decided to join my then-new-colleagues to the adventure of SkyTrex in Bukit Cahaya/Taman Pertanian (in Feb, another late post), when I barely joined the company for less than a month; remembering well the fun of team building in Allson Klana Resort, Port Dickson even though the Flying Fox scared the shit out of me.
Not to mention, it is a great way to know my new colleagues better. And also overcome my fear of flying fox. I wasn’t really scared of height, but just the speed of it.
SkyTrex is a jungle trekking from the height of 3 to 22 metres from the ground with different challenges on the ropes. With 23 thrilling challenges (some repeat paths), it could be quite tiring and yet fun.
And I am glad I joined it. A great way for those to overcome their height phobia and trying out something different.
The minimum height is 1.4 metres and takes about 1 to 2 hours or so to complete. Do visit their website for more information & better pictures.

The Big Yellow Moon
Filed Under me, life | 5 Comments
When I was young and foolish, I always walked home with my mother and siblings from our grandmother house.
I thought I made the moon followed me as I walked. The reason was when I looked up at the sky at night while walking, I could see the moon hovering over me even if I have made 10 steps. It was always exactly on top of my head. So yeah, the moon must have followed me.

Her New Home
Filed Under stuffRM | Leave a Comment
The other weekend, CL and I visited Becky’s house as she has just moved in with her boyfriend. They have a little house warming and invited many people on that Sunday night.
They are the second owners of the ten year old house. Although the price was good for a double storey house, but as it was quite old, much money was spent on renovation! They have spent quite a bomb on renovating part of the house and they are more to go!
I had the pleasure of going into every rooms and admiring the work that they have done so far. As usual, I love to peep into the washroom. To me, a comfortable and nice washroom is a must as we spent private time in them even though most people think least for the room.
To my delight, they have what I always wanted to have in my own bathroom in the future; a nice bathroom wardrobe, separate shower space, bright lightning and big, clear mirror.
According to her, most of her ideas and the bathroom furniture & accessories are from BetterBathrooms.com. There have everything that you ever wish for in your bathrooms. Now they are having stock clearance and you can get up to 55% off recommended retail price!
A simply beautiful house, but just a little pricey for me!
