How kiamsiap is my Boss?
My boss is so kiamsiap that when his car radio broke down, he didn't bother to get it fixed or replaced but instead he took a portable radio with him in the car so he can listen to it. It runs on batteries but that's OK coz he just listen to the talk radio and doesn't listen to cassette tapes. Way to go Boss! How can you beat that?

Hairless Dog
It's a dog with very little hair! It's almost completely bald except for the head, paws and tail and I believe they call it the Chinese Crested Hairless which actually didn't originated from China but rather Africa.
Chinese trading ship stopped along the coast of Africa and picked these dogs up because they make good rat catchers on their ships. Later they renamed them Chinese Crested and the name stuck till today.
I tried my best to get it to turn my way so I can see its face but it was more interested in sniffing it's private part to notice me! No amount of tapping on the windows was enough to catch it's attention.
Though it's late winter and the weather is getting warm the owner is obviously worried about the hairless dog catching a cold and thought it needed a jumper!

Microwave Popcorn
Each box comes with 3 flattened packs of popcorn ready to go. I like the butter flavour because of their savoury taste, I don't like those popcorn with sweet caramel coated one. Yuck!
When you open up a pack try to un-flatten it the best you can before placing it in the microwave for 3 minutes on high heat. The instruction says 4 minutes but when we tried that it came out burnt!
While the corns are popping away in the microwave you can see the bag inflating. I always wonder how corns can pop under high heat, I've never seen how they do that...it's fascinating!
And here it is; hot steamy popcorn straight from the microwave to you in 3 minutes. Cheaper than buying them at the shops especially in the cinemas who charge an arm for a bucket!
True this is not a large serve but you can always throw another bag in the microwave if you want more since they're so cheap, it's $1 a bag nia!

Enjoy them while they last
I'm not entirely sure if these are the real cherry blossoms or not cause some people call them Prunus which I think doesn't sound as nice as Cherry Blossoms so for now just humor me and let's just call them that okay?
Aren't they nice to look at? They only flower this time of the year and don't last very long either so must enjoy them while they last. I would grow one in my garden but they don't flower often and they are deciduous meaning they drop their leaves in winter and we only get to see the flowers for a few weeks of the year. So just enjoy them in the streets while they last.
I enjoyed today
So with warm weather comes spring cleaning, I did a lot today. Vacuumed and mopped the floor, change the water in the fish tank, cleaned out the canister filter of the fish tank, cleaned out the fish pond outside, water the gardens and washed the car. When the weather is warm like today I just spring to life and want to get stuck into doing anything around the house and I'm glad I did so I'm very proud of what I've achieved today. Good for me! Tomorrow will be a similar day as today so I've already planned to mow the lawn and do some other gardening stuff. This is the sort of weekend that I like and enjoy. Y'all have a good weekend now y'hear!
Learn Mind Control

So go check out this site now and learn hypnosis to change your life, you can even use it to better yourself as well as people around you.

Just get it over with!
The cheapest quote I got is $350 from a smash repair shop in Alphington and I decided to go with them. I've been there and shown the guy David the roof and he has confirmed the quote and we've made an appointment to drop my car there on Monday morning. It will take a few days but so be it. If it needs to be done it needs to be done. Just get it over with!

- The story of D Part 7
Yesterday was no different, he started playing his poker and despite his mother telling him to stop he continued playing. After much nagging on his mother's part D threw a big tantrum and started swearing and yelling abuse at his mother. He also kept on ranting about how he lost his business to his parents (read part 1) and so forth and so forth. Reluctantly he went back to work and after an hour's time he left work. His mother went home as well clearly upset with D and complained to D's dad. D's dad rang up D and gave him a grilling on the phone.
This morning D's dad said D won't be in for the rest of the week due to his duty at the voluntary fire brigade in doing back burnings. Funny how D's wife rang up asking to speak to D and was told he hasn't shown up nor called, seems like the right hand doesn't know what the left hand is doing!
Keep cool this summer
Here’s a better alternative; ceiling fans. Yes, ceiling fans make great cooling effect in any rooms and a good place to start is at Farreys.com where you can find any brand of ceiling fans out there like Casablanca, Ellington or Craftmade fans just to name a few. Not sure which brand or type to choose from? Then why not use their ceiling fan customization system to help you in configuring before you order them to the exact specification with all the accessories.
There are so many types of modern ceiling fans to choose from so why not give them a look today and choose the right fans for your house. Do your bit for the environment as well when you choose a ceiling fan to an air conditioner!

Solution to a problem
The problem is with new young tender shoots comes the return of these obnoxious creatures, they've been nibbling on my young tender succulent shoots!
So to find a solution to this problem I've started spraying the young shoots with Poss Off a deterent that works by giving the shoots a strong odour and hot taste of chilli which hopefully the possums will find unappetizing and leave my plants alone. I'm still trying out this product so don't know if it's effective or not. I've also installed sensor light in the back so if anyone of them comes in the night the light will come on hopefully scaring them away. Fingers crossed and pray!
SMS for dates!
From here I can browse and choose which girl I like, I will then ask for the girl’s number which will be sent to me via SMS for a fee. How easy is that? Whenever I feel bored and like some company all I need to do is my mobile phone and I get to meet so many hot girls so come on guys, you don’t have to be alone tonight!
Signs of Spring
Like my daffodils are starting to bloom, can't wait for Spring. It's been a wet and cold Winter but it's good, we need the rain to fill up the dams but we still need more and hope to break the drought but I think it's still going to be another dry Summer this year with stricter water restriction and moreover, we are getting a rise in water charges! Damn John Brumby, the premier of Victoria.
Jeans will do me fine.
That’s why I was pleasantly surprised to find Hudson Jeans selling on this online boutique where you can find not just jeans but all kinds of fashionable brand name clothing. I wear Hudson Jeans for their comfort and their styles so I just had to get a few pairs for myself!

British Gas Launches Greenest Energy Tariffs
Press Release:
BRITISH GAS LAUNCHES GREENEST ENERGY TARIFF9 August 2007: British Gas has announced it is launching two new green energy tariffs, Zero Carbon, which will be the greenest tariff available on the domestic market and Future Energy. British Gas has launched the tariffs, in response to the increasing demand for green energy products.
Householders signing up to the Zero Carbon tariff will:
• reduce their household energy carbon emissions to zero through Kyoto compliant offset schemes which will meet the new Defra requirements
• help fund a direct increase in investment in renewable energy generated in the UK
• contribute to the new British Gas green fund which will:
o invest in developing new renewable technologies such as wave power
o oversee a programme to help schools in the UK reduce their CO2 emissions
Gearóid Lane, Managing Director British Gas New Energy said,”Our new tariff responds to consumer demand for truly green energy solutions. It is essential that customers have confidence in green energy tariffs and that their credibility is not damaged by tariffs that claim to be green but in reality do not deliver any incremental environmental benefits. Green tariffs are moving from niche to mainstream products and we’re leading the industry by offering a tariff that will do more for the environment than any other product currently available.”
Under the government’s Renewables Obligation (RO), electricity suppliers in the UK are already required to produce an increasing percentage of their electricity through methods such as wind farms which, unlike traditional power plants, produce zero carbon emissions. For 2007/2008 this figure is set at 7.9%.
In a recent report, the National Consumer Council (NCC) raised concerns that some energy suppliers are packaging electricity which is produced under the RO scheme as “green”, yet it delivers no additional environmental benefits. The NCC called on energy suppliers to take steps beyond their legal requirements and offer green energy tariffs that provide genuine additional environmental benefits, in particular CO2 emissions reduction.
British Gas worked with Global Action Plan and The Climate Group’s “We’re in this Together” campaign to develop Zero Carbon which goes further than any other green tariff in meeting these requirements offering consumers the only zero carbon option on the market.
The tariff carries a premium of £84 per year, reflecting the higher cost of producing energy through lower carbon emission schemes.
Virginia Graham, Chair of Global Action Plan, said, “The British Gas Zero Carbon tariff delivers on all three of the essential requirements of a green tariff which are: additionality, transparency and verifiability. As such it is a very welcome new offering in the market. Consumers signing up to the tariff can be confident that they are getting 12 per cent more renewable energy than they would otherwise have got. The carbon emissions from their electricity and gas will also be offset with emissions reductions from projects accredited by the United Nations.”
Zero Carbon is one of the first initiatives launched through the ‘We’re in this Together’ campaign, which was launched in April 07 as an alliance of some of the UK’s biggest brands who are all working to help their customers reduce their impact on the climate.
Dr Steve Howard, CEO of The Climate Group and founder of ‘We’re in this Together’ said, “We’re committed to offering people ways to make a real impact on climate change through Together.com. We’ve worked with British Gas to ensure that Zero Carbon is a genuine step forward in delivering more environmental benefits than any other tariff currently available.”
British Gas’s second green energy tariff, Future Energy, offers an alternative green electricity tariff at a premium of just £20 per year. Customers signing up to this tariff will contribute to a green fund which will provide solar panels and other renewable energy technologies to UK schools. Money from the fund will also be invested in development of future renewable technologies and sources.
To sign up customers can call British Gas on 0845 604 0055 or visit www.britishgas.co.uk

The Story Of D Part 7
Sorry about the last post, I was feeling down but I'm feeling much better now. Life goes on whether we like it or not so just deal with it! Nothing makes me feel more good than writing another story of D and here's part 7;
To read previous chapters;
- The story of D Part 1
- The story of D Part 2
- The story of D Part 3
- The story of D Part 4
- The story of D Part 5
- The story of D Part 6
By now if you are a follower of this story then you should know by now that D is a real person and I'm not using his real name coz everyone deserves his privacy and so does D.
D has a grown up son A about 18 which is of legal age now in Australia. Though he's not D's flesh and blood he loves him as his own. A has recently moved out of the house to stay with some friends.
One day A borrowed D's golf clubs and shoes to go play golf with his friends. D has a golf game coming up this weekend so he asked A to return his golf gears. A said he's got the clubs but he has lost his golf shoes which D paid $200 for!
So to make A learns responsibility D told A to buy him a replacement shoes so today he bought him the cheapest and fugliest shoes D has ever seen! It costs only $80 and it is fuggling ugly! A said he's got no money to buy him an expensive shoes so this is all he could afford.
If your adult son lost something of yours, would you tell him to buy you another one or would you just tell him off and wouldn't worry about forcing him to buy you another one coz you're his father?
