Nuphedragen reviews
I heard someone talking about this so called nuphedragen pills, a kind of diet pills that is supposed to revolutionize the weigh loss industry. I’ve always been the sceptical type so I need to read more on as much nuphedragen reviews as I can before making a decision. I’m all for diet pills that work but they must also be safe too.
Too much to do
Its the weekend again so what's in store for the next two days? Well there are heaps of things I have to do but didn't have the chance to do them so I'm hoping to get them done this weekend. There's more pruning to do in the gardens, lawns to mow, vegie patch to tend to and I also need to do some housework too. Then maybe, just maybe I can go get a haircut! Too much to do for one weekend.
Earn a degree online
I’m well into middle age now and looking back on my life I have only one regret; I should have done better in school, go to college and get a degree to start off my life on the right foot. Not to worry because like most mature age students I can now earn a degree online with BestOnlineDegrees.org so I can realise my lifetime dream of getting a good education.
Too cold to garden
I've been neglecting my gardens; the roses need pruning, the lawns need mowing and the perenials all need attention but I've been procrastinating! Well you can't really blame me when the weather is so bad; it's cold, wet and did I mention bitterly cold? I'm also busy with work so I can only have the weekends to get stuck into them but when the weekend is wet and cold I give up!

Need lockers
Never in my wildest dream that when we set up the gardening club three years ago that we would have so many members as we have today. It’s getting to a point that we need to cater to our members when they come for their volunteering work.
At the moment they have to put their bags and stuff all over the place and it’s not safe especially if they have to store their valuables. I was thinking of providing lockers for everyone, like the school lockers or the gym lockers but I don’t want to spend too much money on them since we run on a strict budget. Therefore I’m constantly looking for lockers for sale at the local traders and just asking our members to keep their eyes out for a good buy. Let me know if you see a good bargain will’ya?

Betrayal
We have a new Prime Minister in Australia, actually we have our first female Prime Minister to be exact. Events like this is rare so usually it would be a case for celebration but because of how it came to be that is a worrying sign. The first female Prime Minister got to the top job by betrayal and stabbing her predeccessor in the back so it is not a honorable thing according to me. The Labor Party is in a very bad way at the moment.

Sleeping pills
I guess I’m lucky because I don’t have this problem of not being able to fall asleep at night. I do know some people who can’t sleep at night so they’re always tired at work during the day and need sleeping pills when the problem gets really bad. I don’t know why but the older I get the easier I can fall asleep; I mean I can fall asleep just sitting down and watching TV!
The new iPad
The long awaited iPad is on sale today. There's long queues outside Apple stores eager to get their hands on this new technology that will set you back around $800. Not surprisingly there are all men. What is it with men and their gadgets? I'm just as guilty; I like new technology and anything new but I don't think I want an iPad though..what am I going to do with it?

Joint supplement
As I grow older I think it’s just a matter of time before I’ll start getting joint pain. Such is life and old age. All I can do is look after myself better; exercise and take joint supplement to keep my bones strong and active. The quickest way of getting old is doing nothing and I don’t think I want to be old yet.
Stop whingeing
I'm very busy at the moment; there's lots of work to be done. Lots of cardboards needing cutting and I only have a week to do them all! I hope I can finish in time, looks like I'll be working on the weekends and late into the nights as well. Oh stop whingeing! It's all income for me!

LOL!
I have a little transistor radio that I plug into my ears everyday to listen to my daily talk back radio shows. It's great because I get to listen to my radio and not disturb people around me like my wife who hates talk back radio. She prefers to listen to her music so she has an iPod that she plugs into her ears. Happily we can work together without interrupting each other. LOL!
Cigars
I must admit, I am an ex-smoker. I pick up this stupid habit when I was very young when my friend started smoking. I can be classified as a moderate smoker; going through a packet of 30 cigarettes in two days. Some of my friends smoke cigars which I never pick up. I tried it once but couldn’t stand the taste and aroma of a cigar. Too strong for me so I stuck with cigarettes until years later when I gave it up for good.
Websites down
Damnit! Both my business and personal websites are down. Well maybe not completely down but I can't get in them. Funny how my friends in Malaysia can still get in to both of them. I tried resetting my modem but that didn't help. It is possible that the server which the two websites reside is blocking my ip address. But why though? I'm getting Bryan my webhoster to help oin fix this problem.
Entertainment centers
Nowadays with big screen TV and home entertainment systems getting cheaper every day, more and more households are setting up their own entertainment centers. If you’re buying a new house the builder would probably has built a special home theatre room just for this purpose. Soon everyone will be staying home instead of going to the movies. Then the cinemas would be up in arms calling for the stop of home theatre sales!
What the heck
Heck! I couldn't stand it anymore; I've been putting up with the earphone of my transistor radio working on one side for the last few days. First I thought of getting a new radio because to get a new earphone costs $7 while I can probably get a new radio for a few dollars more. But the radio I have still works fine, just the earphone's no good. So this morning when I was at the supermarket I just bought the earphone, to hell with a new radio.
Samsung
A friend of ours just bought a new TV for his house and it’s a stunner! It’s a big step up from his old one; I think it’s a Samsung plasma 50 inch. I went along to help carry it back from his house the other weekend. He also got a bench for it to sit on so we got everything done on the same day. Once it’s all installed and we turned on the TV we were blown away by the sheer size and clarity of it.
I don't miss it
It's such a drag running my own business; I have to keep chasing up my clients for payment on a daily basis. In an ideal world I wouldn't have to worry about it and they'll just pay me on time. Wouldn't that be terrific? But unfortunately I don't live in an ideal world and I have to keep chasing after my clients for money because if I don't they think I don't miss it!

Insurance blog
Insurance is the one thing in life that we all need but hate to take out. Sure it costs us a fortune but without it we might find ourselves in deep financial hole when misfortune finds us. There are so many type of insurance I need in my life like health, house and car. And to find out what money I can save on my insurance I found a nifty insurance blog that is full of resources and information on the topic. Just what I need.
Flirt your way out
If you're a woman then do you flirt to get yourself out of trouble? Like if you got pulled over by a cop for speeding do you try to get out of it by flirting with the cop? Of course you can't actually use this if you're past your use by date. Just look in the mirror to see if you can go this way. Fear not if you are because there's another way; cry. That's right, shed a tear and that usually work.
www.cellulitecures.net
One thing all women hate about their bodies is cellulite. It seems to be the most dreadful thing that can happen to every woman. There are many so called remedies and cures for cellulite but I doubt if they’re any use at all. To take the first step in tackling this problem every woman should visit www.cellulitecures.net to learn more about this problem and learn how to reduce or prevent it.
Waiting for my BAS
I hope the accountant would send me the amended BAS today because the dealine is drawing near. I got the BAS from the accountant about 2 weeks ago but the figures don't match so I've emailed the accountant and called twice. I hope he'll get it fixed for me before my dealine or I'll be in trouble with the Tax Office!
One a day vitamin
Even with the balance diet we eat on a daily basis our bodies still need supplements like vitamins which can be lacking in our food. Therefore it is good practise to take regular multivitamins to keep ourselves in tip top condition. Unfortunately for me I’m too lazy to take multiple vitamins throughout the day, I prefer a one a day vitamin so I don’t have to worry about it again. I’m too busy to worry about taking my vitamins.
I wish
I'm back from doing some delivery down to a client in Prahran. Took around an hour for the round trip which is good. Normally it would have taken an hour and a half with the traffic but somehow today's traffic is quite good. Why that is so I don't know. I thought Friday's traffic is usually bad but today is obviously an exception. How I wish everyday's like today.
Betastax side effects
There are so many diet pills on the market that claim to help you lose weight. Somehow I’m a bit concerned about what side effects they can have if you take them regularly. Betastax is a popular choice at the moment but I’m sure you will get betastax side effects also. If it’s a pill it will have some kind of side effect whether slight or serious.
Boring yeah?
Its coming up to the weekend again. The week's gone by quick. That's what happens when you're busy. So what's on for the weekend? Nothing at the moment, I hope to get some house work done like the mopping up and scrbbing the toilets. Been putting them off for a while but I really need to do those chores. Dinner with Heng and his family on Sunday night, that's all we got in out weekend schedule. Boring yeah?
Ab workouts
Years ago when I was a skinny young lad I didn’t need to work out to have a six pack. I was so skinny that I had a six pack naturally! But now that I’m older and put on some weight I have a fat tummy and gone is my six pack. I miss my six pack and I want it back and the only way to get it back is ab workouts which I think will be too hard for a couch potato like me.
Winter around the corner
With winter just around the corner there's less need for me to water the gardens. Therefore there's also less need for me to collect more rain water. My rain water tanks are all full and during the warmer months I used to collect the water in buckets after the tanks were filled. Now that watering is not needed as much I don't have to anymore because I wouldn't be able to use up all the water now, unlike in summer.
Fish food
Most of you would’ve known for years that I keep goldfish for pets. I have an indoor fish tank and a half wine barrel pond outdoor. When I started I had quite a number of fish and feeding them was tedious; I used to buy special fish food for them like pellets, live shrimps and even ground up peas! Now after many disappointments and deaths with just a handful left I’m losing my enthusiasm in choosing their food.
They're back
They're back; those nasty caterpillars. I found them yesterday on my brocoli chewing away on the lease leaving pin holes all over the leaves. They're tiny and hiding under the leaves so are hard to find. I thought I had eradicated most of them but I don't think I can get rid of them completely and I would have to keep an eye on them from time to time.

Sink
My most successful DIY story is the potting table I built myself a few years back. I didn’t have to spend too much money on the material; just some timber frames and an old kitchen sink I pick up from the side of the road that someone threw out. The sink serves as the table top with the sunken section for potting mix. Its great!
100% success rate
Growing your own vegies is great, I do it and so do a lot of people. But gardeners are always facing the problems of pest and diseases that devastate your crops constantly. A good way around this problem is setting up a green or glass house and growing your crops inside it. This way you control the weather, keep the nasties out and have 100% success rate everytime you grow!
Quick weight loss
There are a lot of people wanting to lose weight fast just to fit into a dress or to show off to their old classmates on that all important reunion day. I’m sceptical about losing weight too fast; I don’t think that’s a good way of doing it. It might have an adverse effect on your health or you might just put that weight back on as fast as you lost it. So no quick weight loss program for me thank you.
Dreaming of Malaysia
Its been a few years since I last went back to Malaysia. I've been wanting to go back again but never seems to find time to go. My mother and others keep asking me to go back but I just don't have any time to do it since we've started this business. If we go one holidays there's no one to look after the business and we might loose our customers if we send them elsewhere when we're on holidays. Running your own business is damn hard.
Best acne treatment
I’m not one that gets bad acne but every now and then I would get a couple here and there. The best acne treatment I found is actually something not made for it. It’s Vicks vapourup! Yes I couldn’t believe it at first but after the first try I’m a believer. Terese put me up to it and now whenever I have an acne I go for my Vicks vapourup.
Goodness me
I bought a Japanese Iris in summer which I put in my wine barrel pond. It was doing well until now when the cold weather has settled in. The leaves are turning yellow and flopping over and I don't know what could've done that. So I did some searches on the net for this plant and I found that you're supposed to take them out of the water in autumn and winter or else the roots will rot! Goodness me, glad I found out about it now so I've take it out of the pond.
RV repair
Thinking of getting an rv so we can go fishing on long weekends and do other things with the convenient of sleeping in our rv than booking into expensive accommodations. I saw a second hand one which looks quite enticing but it does need a little work. Just a little rv repair and I think she’ll be right. I think I’ll go see the owner tomorrow and see how much he wants for it.
We shall see
I need a haircut again, it's been 6 weeks already since I had my last haircut? Anyway I need another one now and I was hoping to get it done today but we're busy with work and I'm not sure I can do it. I might, see how it goes. I may have to go there myself. Usually Terese comes with me so she can go to the library there. We shall see.
Unique gifts for her
I drag Terese’s birthday, anniversary or any other days when I have to find a gift for her. You see she’s very fuzzy with her gifts; I can never get her the gifts she likes. She’s very hard to please and sometimes she’s not even happy with what she buys herself! The I found this place where I think I can get unique gifts for her that she would definitely like.
Office makeover
We've just had an office makeover; we changed all our computers to the new ones and changed the settings and moved the furniture around. Its finished now and it looks good, Terese calls it an office makeover but more importantly it has to be easy for us to work in. I think it is and I think it is efficient use of space. I think we will keep it this way for a while.
Careers
When I finished school I didn’t quite know what to do with myself. Back then we didn’t have help like we do now where you can go for help on finding the choices of careers school leavers have. My grade wasn’t good enough to go to University and I didn’t have the guidance to choose a trade that I could use for the rest of my career life. But I’m glad my life turned up quite good I must say.
Good business
Well its the weekend again but it won't be much of a weekend for us because work has pick up again after a fairly quiet month. Its a good thing but it also mean we're going to have to work long hours and right into the weekends just to keep up. Don't want to risk a burnout but on the other hand its good business.

Most effective diet pills
Seems like I’m forever looking for that miracle pills that would magically zap my fat away and give me a body to be envious by others. But so far I have no luck finding ones that work. Where can I find the most effective diet pills out there? There’re so many on the market all claiming to help you but how can I be absolutely sure?
Last day of training.
Well today's the last day of training. I hope the instructor turns up though, she does have a habit of forgetting her appointments and postponing them. We agreed on today last week so I just hope she put it down in her diary. It's been a long time since we started training and I just want to get it over and done with. Beside training she also need to bring the license and installation disc for the older version of the programs so I can install them on my new PC. Now I'm just waiting for her to show up.

Best fat burning exercise
Some people like exercising vigorously. I’m no such people, in fact I’ll work up a sweat just looking at people exercising! Yes I know I’m bad at it, I need to get off my butt and work out more. Got to get rid of some of this extra fat around my waist. I need to know the best fat burning exercise so I can just concentrate on that and forget about the rest. Would that be enough for me to keep fit?
One term government
From the way things are going it looks like the current government is going to loose the election this year. This is going to be the one term government, something not seen in this country. At least I've never seen it. When the Labor government took power back in 97 the economy was at its best and though the previous government was considered harsh in border security we managed to keep the illegals from coming. Then everything went wrong once the Labor government took over, we see it in the boat people, the bungled insulation program and the ETS. The only card this government can hope to gain some favor with the voters is that they managed to keep the country away from the GFC. Other than that they have nothing to show for.
Urban clothes
When it comes to clothing I prefer casual clothes to formal wears. It just makes me feel more comfortable and confident. There are some really nice urban clothes that I like out there and I think it’s time I go do some shopping for clothes. That’s the other thing about me; I’m lazy when it comes to buying clothes! Usually the missus gets them for me; I hope she gets the ones I like.
A great day
Yesterday was Mothers Day and we spent the day at the Mother-In-Law's place. Everyone was there and we all brought food for steamboat. Heng was in charge of bringing meat, Cecily in charge of veg and we the stuffed tofu. Well that was the plan but as usual everyone bought way too much and we had too much to eat and like all asian dinners we had plenty of leftovers. So overall a great day!

Basement dehumidifier
The problem with basements is that they can get very damp and humid if you don’t take precaution to keep them clean and dry. It’s the one place in the entire house where all the plumbing are hidden so we really need to keep the humidity problem at the minimum if you care about your family’s health. Use a basement dehumidifier to get that smelly humid air out of your basement and then maybe you can even use it as an extra room!
Silly me
I thought I was pretty good with technology and can deal with most computer related issues than most average people. I was wrong; yesterday I stuffed up the computer I was trying to install Windows XP on. Originally the PC came with Windows Vista and I had to remove it and install XP on instead because I want to use this PC for running the programs we use at work. Little did I know that with new technology of SATA drives which are very different with the older IDE drives I completely bugger up the hard drive when I deleted the partitions on it. So now I have to wait till Sunday when we'll see my brother-in-law to get it fixed since he's a tech by trade.

Affordable life insurance quotes
I’ve never used to think about life insurances when I was young and stupid. Now that I’m older and wiser I think of my family and how to protect them should anything happens to me. That’s why life insurance is so critical but there are so many insurance providers out there and that makes it hard for me to choose whom to go with. I need to get affordable life insurance quotes for me to choose the best one that suits my family and me. And I need to do it quick.
Iron Man 2
Woohoo! I've won tickets to see Iron Man 2 at Crown tonight! Got a call from a girl from Paramount Pictures late last night telling me I've won so I'll be going to the premiere screening of this much anticipated movie at Crown Village at 7 tonight. Its been a while since we went to premiere screenings, we used to win tickets very frequently but lately we haven't won anything until now.
How long has it been since the last Iron Man movie? Maybe I should watch the first one again before watching the second one. I know I have a copy of the first movie somewhere, just have to go find it. Now where could it be..

Flowers that mothers love
It’s nearly that time of the year again; mother’s day. So time to get something really nice for her and don’t forget to get her flowers. Not just any flowers, has to be flowers that mothers love and don’t be stingy about it either! We only have one mother and it’s only one day in a year so it’s time to spoil her silly.
So there!
I received a letter from my supplier reminding me about my 2nd installment to them. So I decided to call them to ask them about the credit note I'm supposed to get from them for the 4 small invoices that we agreed on. Of course their accountant knows nothing about it so I told her to talk to her boss since it was him who promised me the credit note. This is so annoying, I told her I'm not paying the installment until the credit note has been issued. So there!
Chicago auto repair
When it comes to auto service and auto repair, which I have no clue of, I’m glad I have a friend who’s in the industry. That’s why I always bring my cars to him instead of other mechanics simply because he will not try to rip me off. I’ve heard terrible things about dodgy mechanics preying on people like me. So it’s good to know that I’m in good hands.
My mechanic always does a thorough job whenever I bring my Toyota Camry in for a service. He’ll treat my car like his own taking time to go through all the process carefully so as not to miss out on anything and he’s always cautious to me even though we’ve known each other for years. I don't have to remind him to check engine light, he'll do everything before I can think of anything. So next time you need a mechanic go to Chicago auto repair and tell him I sent you there and he’ll look after you.

What a shame
A well know criminal got murdered in jail recently. Nothing unusual right? These things happen all the time in prison but it takes a well known criminal's murder to highlight the lack of security in our prison system. There are currently 3 investigations into this incident. Heads must roll over this lack of security. If it wasn't for the CCTV the murderer would have gotten away with murder. Took the guards 20 minutes to find out the man's dead! What a shame.

Supplements
I’m not the type to take supplements. Some of my friends do it regularly but I’m too lazy to do that. In fact if I can survive without food I’ll be happy! Too lazy to eat or take supplements for my own health. I’m just terrible when it comes to my health. No wonder my wife tells me off all the time regarding this issue.
2nd day
Today's the 2nd day of Lectra software training. Last week the trainer said we'll have it today but she said she'll email and confirm with us this week. So far I've not heard from her. I never got a call back from her on Monday when I left a message for her to call back last Friday. This trainer is bad when it comes to people skill but she's good with the software so I'll let her go this time.
Joint pain
Once I thought I’d never grow old and I’ll live forever in my youth. Yeah dream on! Nowadays I can feel my body giving up. I feel pain here and there especially joint pain on elbows. Not good, I need to do something about it. I refuse to go down like this so I’m going to seek help so I’ve already made an appointment to see my doctor. I’m hoping for a miracle cure here but I wouldn’t keep my hopes up.
My embarrassing problem
What I'm about to tell you is rather embarrassing. You see I have a problem; it's a skin condition where I'd break up in hives every now and then. It's some kind of allergic reaction to what I don't know but I noticed that the hives come back to the same areas of my body when it breaks out and it also then to happen when there's a change in weather or season. I take anti-histamine and use lotion to help cope but it never goes away.
Colon cleanser reviews
I’ve heard of colon cleansing but never had it before. I wonder if it’s any good like what I’ve heard from some people I know who’s had it. Some of them swear by it but I’m skeptical. I think I need to do a bit more research on it. I’m going to read more about colon cleanser reviews that are available out there and I’ll make up my mind then.
We are all humans
Silly me. I fell for the oldest trick in the book; downloading a dodgy executive file AND opening it! So obviously the computer got infected and Windows wouldn't even start. Tried everything I know how but in the end I had to do a drastic format and restore. This goes to show it doesn't matter how much you know about technology or how cautious you are, we are all humans and as humans we do stupid things like what I did yesterday and had to spend all day fixing it.

Security cameras
I’ve always had this problem with possums eating my roses in the middle of the night. There are telltale signs that indicate the possums are the culprit but I’ve never actually saw one. I think what I need is night vision cameras to be set up in the backyard to capture these pests but I don’t know where to start. Maybe I should start looking at places that sell security cameras; if they can’t help me then they might be able to point me in the right direction.
Who the hell is Justin Bieber?
Who the hell is Justin Bieber? Until yesterday I've never heard of this name. Now he's playing outside Channel 7's Sunrise program studio in Sydney in front of thousands of screaming teenagers. In the world of show biz and entertainment it is not hard to achieve fame nowadays thanks to the internet and YouTube.
Justin Bieber is a 16 year old kid from Canada who's shot to fame for his singing. I heard his mentor is Usher and using the power of YouTube he's managed to reach his fans quicker than bushfire. But then again it is just as fast to fade into oblivion when the next best thing comes along.

Spirometer
I have a friend who has a very sick child at home. I went to see him the other day and met his family including the poor kid. His room is like a hospital ward; there are medical equipments all over the place like spirometer, inhaler and things I can’t even put names to them. What can you do with a sick child? You just have to love him the best you can.
Money well spent
I finally got to meet Peter from Lectra yesterday. We spoke on the phone a few times but had never met until yesterday. He came over with some paper for me to sign. We're buying some upgraded programs from him for our work. It is utterly expensive but we have no choice; we have to upgrade to keep up with time and our customers and Lectra is the only people we can get their programs from. It's an investment for the business so it's money well spent.

Credit card
I’m one of those people that like using our credit cards for purchasing anything. Why wouldn’t you? You get things on credit and get reward points as well. But you have to be very disciplined and pay off the bill when it comes, or else you’ll be slugged with a hefty interest. I use my credit card for everything and anything and I always manage to pay it off before the interest kicks in. I’m a smart credit card user.
A good drenching
I've been waiting for the rain to come and it did come but in the middle of the night when I couldn't be stuffed getting up to organize anything. We did had a good downpour last night but if I was up I'd have been able to collect more rain than what we got. Oh well, its not all wasted, at least the gardens had a good drenching.

Life insurance
I’m not one to spend my hard earned money on insurance but there’s one insurance I think is worth every penny I put in and that’s my life insurance policy. It gives me a peace of mind knowing that my family will be taken care of should heaven forbids something happens to me. I’ve known friends who don’t have life insurance or don’t have enough covers and as a consequence their families have to suffer. I don’t wish that on my family nor any other family.
It better be worth it
Well its inevitable that we have to upgrade the software for our work. We've put it off for this long and now we've finally taken the step to upgrade. Its not cheap at all; has to work a long time to pay for it but we don't have a choice if we want to keep up with our competitors and keep our customers. We paid a third as deposit yesterday and will have to pay another third when the software is installed and the rest 30 days later. It better be worth it.

Protein powder
I’ve been going to the gym for 3 months now and I’m loving it. First it was hard, really hard and I ended up with aches all over my body the first day. But I persevere and now I’m getting into the routine and I’m full of energy and enjoying it very much. I need to get some protein powder supplement so I can get a killer body to show off on the beach this summer. Ladies, watch out!
So so lucky...
I nearly ran someone off the road today; some woman jogger not paying attention to where she was walking and I didn't look left before driving. What a dangerous combination, it could have ended up badly but lucky I stop the car just in time and gave her a fright instead of something worse. This is the closest I've ever come across to a serious injury so I'm thanking my lucky star that I saw her before I accelerated on the gas. So so lucky..for both of us.

Hair loss cure
You know you’re getting old when you start getting receding hairlines. Like my father before me who started getting receding hairlines, now he has a full bald head and it looks like I’ll be heading that way too. But I don’t want to follow my father in those footsteps, I want a full head of hair for as long as I live. I need to find a hair loss cure so I can step ahead of my hair loss. I need help!
So sad
I remember years ago when 17 inch CRT monitors used to cost a bomb. All we could aford were 14 inch or 15 inch CRTs. Nowadays you can't even give away the 17 inch CRTs! Almost everyday you can find them sitting outside people's houses begging to be adopted but sadly few are ever fortunate enough to find a second loving home. Now users prefer 21 inch LCD monitors so the old CRTs are all forgotten. So sad.

Best Multi Vitamins
I try my best to take care of myself; I eat well and exercise regularly but sometimes we still need a bit of help because we don’t get enough vitamins and other minerals in our diet. That’s why I take multi-vitamins to supplement my nutrition. I learn all I can about the vitamins I take at www.bestmultivitamins.org to get an informed idea about what vitamins to take.
Fairfield's first farmers narket
We go to farmers markets all the time, sometimes once a week usually on the Sundays. Today Fairfield is having its own very first farmers market and we've decided to go have a look around. Its at the Fairfield primary school which is just down the street where we live. I hope it will become a good market coz its so close to us for the convenience. Well enough talking, I have to get ready to go to market now!

Adult acne
I’m not exactly spring chicken anymore, more like summer chicken so I thought I’m over the ‘Oh no I gotta acne so I’m staying home for the rest of my life!’ dilemma. But even as a mature adult I still occasionally get adult acne every now and then. I tell myself maybe I’m still a spring chicken just to make myself feel better but seriously adult acne can be fixed quite easily so don’t let your peers tell you little boy or girl!
3 years old
Its Thursday already today, the week's gone by quick. There's a birthday to go to this weekend; it's Sang's son Sebastian's 3 year old celebration. According to the Vietnamese tradition 3 year old sons birthdays are to be celebrated in a big way. There's going to be a roasted pig among other food so it will be a big feast for all. Time to find the birthday boy a good present.

Cheap auto insurance
I’ve been a loyal customer with my auto insurance company for years until I found out that they don’t care about loyalty. All they’re interested is take, take, take. So instead of paying them tons of my hard earned money I’m hunting for cheap auto insurance elsewhere now. Now I’m looking out for myself since I’ve realized loyalty doesn’t pay when it comes to auto insurance.
Indian Summer
I've always wondered what the term 'Indian Summer' mean. That's what people are saying about the weather in Melbourne these few days. Though we are officially into autumn the temperature is still quite warm, up to the low thirties on certain days. Well I supposed we should enjoy the warm weather while it lasts because it won't be long before it's gone for a while when the cooler weather sets in starting around next month until spring. So bring on the Indian Summer!

MBT
I try to exercise everyday but can’t do those heavy workouts so I walk daily. Some days I could walk for 2 hours when I’m up to it. I’m really wearing out my old sneakers and I think it’s time I get a proper walking shoes. A friend of mine suggested mbt shoes. It’s supposed to be very comfortable and great for walking so it’ll be perfect for me.
Weirdest weather
What a day it was yesterday; we had the weirdest weather happening yesterday around 3 in the afternoon. First we noticed the dark luminous clouds moving in, then all of a sudden the wind blew up a gale and down came golf ball size hails smashing roofs, cars and trees all over Melbourne! Then the rain followed, torrential rain flooding the streets of Melbourne stalling cars and flooding buildings. We're lucky we haven't any damages in our house and gardens.

No rain
Well I'm disappointed again; the forecast was for plenty of rain but I haven't seen much of it. In fact all I can see today is sunshine and blue sky. There's a bit of clouds around but no rain clouds. I want it to rain and water my gardens and fill up my water tanks! I don't want sunshine today, come back another day. Funny how rain is more welcome than sunshine here in this dry arid continent of ours down under.
LCD HDTV
Television has come a long way since the first day I watched it; it came in a huge heavy box and the picture was in black and white. After so many years television is still the number one ‘must have’ in every household even though the PC is catching up. Nowadays television sets come in light, stylish and flat screen like the LCD HDTV. A contrast to the old idiot box I used to sit glued to everyday.
Long weekend
It's a long weekend this weekend because Labor Day falls on the Monday. Plus Moomba Festival is also on so there's a lot going on in town. It's been a while since I went to Moomba and I wouldn't mind going again this year. Problem is parking; there's not much parking so public transport is a better option. Unfortunately I hate using public transport; it's unreliable and time consuming, not to mention inconvenient. So should I go to Moomba this year? I want to go but...wish I have someone to drop me off and pick me up when I'm done!

Used golf balls
Living right next to a golf course we tend to find at least a dozen or so golf balls in the backyard. So far we’ve been lucky we haven’t had any broken windows yet, that would be most unfortunate. After so many years we’ve collected quite a lot of used golf balls and every now and then we would sell these golf balls back to the golf course!
Last day of CNY
So we celebrated the last day of CNY with a big bang; went down to Glen Waverley where they were having a big CNY festivity going on. First time we went there for the CNY festival even though they have it every year. A bit disappointing in term of attractions, there were mainly food stalls. Well we actually went to see the niece performs on the stage. She was in 3 dances organised by the dance studio. Lucky for everyone the weather held up pretty good. There were menacing dark clouds with strong wind all day long but no rain came. I would rather it rain coz the water reserve is a bit low now.

Auto insurance quotes
It’s that time of the year again; my auto insurances are expiring and I need to renew them or get new quotes from other insurers. From my experience as a insurance policy holder it pays to get multiple auto insurance quotes from different insurers. The more quotes you can get the better because you will always find a cheaper quote somewhere, never go with the first quote you get. Always shop around.
The 15th day
Chinese New Year is almost over..come this Sunday marking the 15th day of the annual celebration. So to mark the festive day a few friends are going to gather at someone's place and probably order takeaways. How boring..I know exactly where they're going to order their food from; Jade Kingdom. Seriously I'm getting sick of Jade Kingdom's food, I'd prefer some home cooked meals. I have an idea; chicken soup with long life noodle..but the missus thinks it's going to be hard getting a big pot of chicken soup over to their place and suggested cooking the chicken dry and served with rice instead. Not my first choice but I am willing to entertain the idea.

Cholesterol treatment
I admit I’m one of those people that never bother about what I eat till it’s too late. Just been to my medical checkup and was told my cholesterol is high and I need to change my lifestyle. Indeed I need to take better care of my body because I’ve only got one. First thing first; time to lower my cholesterol. I need to find a natural cholesterol treatment to get me back on track and then I’ll start eating right and exercise more. That’s my new year resolution.
Back to the drawing board
It frustrates me when I can't get something working. I'm working on this machine to get it going with the digitizing table but so far I have no joy. Why wouldn't it work? I've got the driver for it and the program and still I can't get it working, frustration! I know it should work because I heard from the experts that it does but I just can't get it going. What am I doing wrong? Back to the drawing board.

Ultimate fat burner
I’m in a bit of a desperation when it comes to loosing weigh; yes I exercise everyday and watch what I eat but yet I find it difficult to loose the weigh. I need more, I need the ultimate fat burner but there are so many out there that clam to do just that and most of them are just out to rob me blind. I need to find one that will definitely work, I need an unbiased independent reviewer of all these products.
CNY been and gone
Well CNY is over and done with. On Saturday which was CNY eve we were invited to the in-laws for dinner. That was the most expensive invited meal all year because it costs a few red packets! The next day on the first day of CNY after eating too much meat the night before it was good that we were going to have some vegan food for the day. We had lunch with some friends in Doncaster easting mock meats. After which we wanted to see some lion dance and firecrackers but we didn't know where to find them. We just guessed that we'll see them in Box Hill so off we went but sadly we were disappointed. There was nothing there so we decided to just have coffee and cakes at Selwyn's house. And that concludes another CNY for the year.

London vacation rentals
I’ve never been to London before or the UK in general. Maybe it’s time I make the effort while I’m still young to enjoy it. I don’t have any family nor friends there so I’ll have to find some accommodation if I don’t want to sleep on the streets. Instead of hotels I’m thinking London vacation rentals that involve luxury apartments and homes to make my stay a lot more comfortable. Yes, time to start packing.
Valentine's Day & CNY
This year Valentine's Day falls on the same day as Chinese New Year's Day on the 14th of February. So what does it mean to me? Probably nothing since I don't celebrate either. Ever since I've came to Australia CNY has never lived up to the expectation you'll get from the celebration in Sibu so why bother? And Valentine's Day? Just another day the big corporations drum up to rip money off the general public I reckon!

Wrinkle cream reviews
Damn! Old age catching up to me I think. I’ve noticed a few lines on my face a few years back and now they’ve gotten worse! How I wish to turn back the time. I’m not asking much, all I wish is to iron out a few wrinkles. Not too much to ask. I need some wrinkle cream reviews to find the miracle cream for my face!
At your own leisure
Today we decided to slack off work and went out for a long lunch with Terese's sisters. We went to a buffet lunch down at Docklands that serve sumptuous food we don't normally eat. Because it was a weekday its cheaper at $28 per head. On a weekend it can be double that amount. Its good working for yourself that you can take time off at your own leisure.

Best weight loss supplement
Going on diet, exercise everyday and sticking to the strict regime is all part of my new year’s resolution to loose that extra weight I put on over Christmas. It’s very hard and I’m loosing the battle. I need help, I need the best weight loss supplement money can buy to help me through it. But there’s too many products out there that claim to be the best so where can I go to find out which is really the best?
Love the rain
Hallelujah! The rain has finally arrived! Came in the middle of the night last night twice, didn't last long though. I did managed to got downstairs at 4.30am to check it out. The bins didn't collect much but now in the morning we've just had a huge deluge that filled up all my bins and most of the containers. It has stopped again but at least I collected enough water to last me a while. Love the rain!

Weight loss pills
Losing weight is so hard; try as I might but I love food too much and exercise? Who has the motivation and discipline to go to the gym everyday to suffer the pain trying to loose that excess weight? That’s why I’d rather pop some weight loss pills and watch the pound melts away! Ha! If only it was as easy as that.
Rain rain where are you?
So where's this rain they said it was coming all weekend? I'm waiting in anticipation for the rain that they promised me but so far all I got is a few spits of rain, hardly enough to wet the ground. It is windy like they said and cloudy too. Some dark luminous clouds hanging above us but so far no healthy ground drenching rain yet. I need it to fill up my water reserve. I need it badly so I wouldn't have to use the mains water to water my veggie gardens!
