Totem Beetle

In the office just now, one of my colleagues intercom me. “Michelle, did you bring your camera today?” The first thing that came to my mind was , “I wonder what’s the problem now.” Normally they need my camera when they have problem with the packaging materials and ready products.

10 minutes later my colleague handed me a bottle with a beetle in it. “Can you please take photo of it?”

Can you see a face?

I have seen this before; those natives’ mask and on the totem pole. I have seen this kinda beetle too, on National Geographic. So privilege to see one live. :D

So now I know how the natives got the idea to make their mask.

Beautiful Homes in California

“Welcome to the Hotel of California”. The famous lyric from the song “Hotel California”. Personally, I like the tune and rhythm of that song but I don’t like the message that the song is trying to put forward. Sounds eerie to stay in Hotel California. However, accomodation should not be a problem if you want to stay in California. There are many beautiful homes that are worth buying. Just find the house that you like and check out the California Mortgage Rates that suits your needs. Don’t forget to look at California Jumbo Loan or even San Francisco Home Loans and compare the rates.

It is easy if you know where to look for when you need to finance your real estate purchase. Just make sure that you don’t rush into any loans but consider carefully the rates and long term payments that you have to pay. It is always wise to be prudent in financial matters. Having said that, I wonder whether the Hotel California mentioned in the song still exist. I don’t think I want to stay in it if ever I got the opportunity to visit California. Maybe I’ll just enjoy myself at the beautiful sandy beaches.

No! I did not post my sexy, naked picture on that day. :P

I blog about Pontianak in Pulau Gadong. When writing that, I have no intention of getting more traffic like what some of the, I call them “Adsense” blogger did. If I wanted too, I would use the word “Pontianak” instead of “Lady-in-White” repeatedly in my recent post.

It just that the incident happened so near my place and I use the bridge very frequent. Kinda scary passing the bridge at night now. hehehehe.

Beautiful and Durable Outdoor Furniture

With a maid around, our compound is super clean. Ok lar I am exaggerating a lil bit. :P But it is much cleaner than before, not much leaves and weeds on the ground. Our compound looks much bigger when it is free from weeds. It would be nice if we can afford to build a small hut and place a nice outdoor furniture like below.

all weather

With the evening breeze, I think I could nap for hours on that soft cushion. I just hope that the chicken, the dogs and the squirrels don’t join me. Hmmm…sounds like I am living in the jungle like that! hahahaha.

The above outdoor furniture is from a high end line of All Weather Outdoor Wicker Furniture from PatioProductions.com. It is Woven from top quality UV treated PE resin strands around weather proof aluminum frames, so you can be assure of it’s durability. Wanna buy it for me??? Visit the website puhlease. :P

Mommy Don’t Carry Handbag

During worship and also feeding time, I managed to have a short chat with an Indonesia lady who is married to our local Portuguese man. Her daughter is very pretty and fair. When asked whether she keeps her hubby’s pic in her purse (me kaypoh, wanna know how handsome is her hubby…hehehe), she told me that she does not carry any purse, not even the Pacsafe anti-theft handbag. With a baby and a 5yo, a handbag is not practical. All we carry now is our baby bag filled with thermos, water, milk, diapers, baby wipes, panties, t-shirt and snacks.

Yes! My Hubby is A Preacher

Sunday after Sunday going to church is just about fellowshipping with other mommies in the mother’s room. I hardly get to listen to the sermon. But last Sunday, I made an effort to listen as much as I could because my hubby was the preacher. :lol: He preached about How To Receive God’s Blessing. Wanna know how? Just click on the link. :D

I even video tape 7 minutes of his preaching but I can’t load it to my computer. So it is stuck in my digital camera. :(

This is only the 2nd time he preaches in the church that we are currently attending. Hope to see him up there more often. ;)

No Performance Tonight; I is Nervous

Am supposed to be at Pulau Gadong bridge now snapping away. Not the “lady in white” but the “not so clever people” who thought that the “lady in white” would perform for them again. So that I can post their picture here and blog about it.

According to my future BIL, last night around 12 something midnight he saw lots of people waiting there. He on the way home after returning his friend’s box cutter. From the young to the Pakcik and Makcik, they flocked the bridge. If I were the “lady in white”, I also scared to come out. Nervous mah, so many people. Not that I am used to performing in front of so many people. :P

Why I am not there? Because I too chicken to go drive there all by myself. Because hubby is preaching in 10 hours time and he wants to sleep.

I have to sleep early too because I have to get the children ready before time, not in time. Can’t be late for church as always because hubby is the preacher this time. :lol:

4Cs

What does it comes to your mind when you see the above title? 4Cs. Cash, Credit Card, Condominium and Car. Am I correct? The 4Cs that man must have in order to woo money minded girls. Simple girl like me don’t go after those 4Cs. Furthermore, I have my own cash, my own car, my own credit cards and my own apartment (can’t afford condo lar), so no need to trouble the man lar. hehehe

Anyway, man need to learn about the 4Cs of ideal cut diamonds. I am sure you could impress any woman if you know all these. Of course you have to buy one for her. ;)

The 4Cs are…Cut – Carat Weight – Color – Clarity.

Btw, I am still waiting for my diamond! No heart to ask him to buy for me. So expensive. Maybe one day when he has more money to spare. By then I think, we would rather give than indulge ourselves in luxury. :P

Medical PDA Software

Being a Doctors or Pharmacists is getting easier now. With laptops, they don’t need the thick medical references book to carry around when they do home visit. But that is still not so convenience as laptop is still heavy and bulky. Company like Epocrates, Inc. is smart enough to invent medical PDA software since most doctors have PDA or smartphone. So now they can carry their medical reference in their lab coats. With the Epocrates’ drug guide loaded on their PDA or smartphone, clinicians can immediately access the information needed to make prescribing decisions such as drug dosing, side effects and health plan coverage within seconds.

“This announcement was paid for by Epocrates.”

Wo Chi Zhu Rou-Gua Makan Babi-I Eat Pork

cute pig

Yes! I eat pork. I am a Chinese.

Blame my “Malay” hubby that I am denied of this privilege.

A few times when I ordered Pork Porridge, with hubby in my presence, I was served Fish Porridge instead of pork.

Normally, the meat will be at the bottom. So gua makan lar. Makan punya makan, how come this pork white colour one? Texture also like fish. Ei! Memang pun FISH!!! Where is my PORK??? Gua mo Bubur Babi!!!

When I eat porridge, that also means that I am not feeling well so I don’t make a fuss out of it.

So now, when we eat at Chinese Food Court, I will purposely order a bowl of Pork Intestine Soup or Bak Kut Teh. They can’t switch it to fish. Mwahahahahaha. :lol:

You see lar, Chinese are nice people and they do respect the Muslim religion, even though the “Malay” wanna eat pork also they won’t give. :P
