I heard some trickling of water when I was blog hopping in the middle of last night. It sounded like there was a leak from the bathroom faucet. However when I checked it, I found that the basin was dry. A little while later, I heard the trickling again. I went upstairs to check on the two bathrooms and found nothing. It was a little eerie and reminded me of some horror film that had dripping faucets. I soon found out that it was the faucet from my kitchen sink and I think my girls had forgotten to turn to the full off position since they last wash their hands early this evening. Luckily it wasn’t anything that set my imagination to run wild in the night.

I bought some new CD-Roms for my youngest to play games on the computer. She had been pestering me to go on the computer for ages so I decided to let her play an hour of game on my pc. Now that she is addicted to pc gaming, I have to bargain with her to let me use the pc. Oh dear. I promised her that she can have an hour only if she finishes her little duties like tidy up her own mess and makes sure she finishes her lunch before she gets a go.

Now, I think I will need to get another computer, preferably a laptop before both my girls take over my pc indefinitely. I’ll be seeing more of them at home because school holidays starts 24th May.

I was flipping through some interior magazines while waiting for an appointment with my doctor when I saw this lovely bathroom feature. It had everything I wanted for a bathroom. Minimum 30 square metre of space, nice Italian designer tiles, dry area for all my single coloured fancy towels, make up and toiletries vanity area and of course it must include beautiful shiny bathroom faucets suitable for a King. My current bath has normal faucets with hot and cold running water but they are as normal as what you would see in every household. My dream bathroom will also have a nice delicious jacuzzi in a corner too. I give myself 2 years of saving up for a good reno at the bathroom.

What would your reaction be if someone fixed you up on a date? I’m sure you would balk at the idea. I’m sure if you really would like to know more people and have your own relationships, you’d rather be picking our your suitable partner or even for mutual acquaintance.

To search for a dating site and unless if the dating site personnel knows and understands what sort of personality you are looking for,  you will probably be going to search engine and spend some time in researching their service and feedbacks. In order to save time, you might want to look for a website that offers a comphrehensive list of all dating sites that are available on the net. Prime Dating Sites is one of the sites that does reviews. It has a list of dating sites and has enough feedback from various customers and this site is geared to find the potential partner based on his or her requirements, and not just a dating agency.

If you are looking for mutual attractions through interests, hobby, chatting online and sending winks and smiles, Perfect Match is suitable for you. However there are those who have gone through divorce or breakups and is looking for a serious long term relationship with marriage in mind may find eHarmony to be more suitable. That is why not every dating site is similar and suitable for everyone. I once heard of a joke whereby a lady went to a full computerized site and he asked for a 7 footer, dark and bites him in the ear. Guess what she got? An alligator!

My refrigerator started to lose it’s chillness more than a month ago. Not sure why, so I had it off, cleaned and turned on after about 4 hours rest. It ran ok, for a week then the compartments felt warm again. Same thing, off it, cleaned it and turned on after about 4-5 hours and it began working ok. Another week passed the same thing happened. We decided to call the fridge technician. He said we had to change the timer and some thing else. It cost us $210 but it was certainly worth than to get another fridge. Then about a week passed and it happened again. I remembered the technician said he gave us a warranty of a year so he had to come and fix for the second time. And you know what? He had to make another trip after another 10 days again. I’m waiting till the following monday and see if he needs to come by for the forth time.

If he needed to, that explained that we should be getting a new fridge.

This afternoon, I was busy making Lor Bak at home. It had been months since I had Lor Bak so I decided to make some. The last ones I made was during the Chinese New Year. I had fun with it, really. I wanted to make some little parcels of it but I thought better not or I’ll be busy cutting up little pieces of beancurd skin and what if they are too small or too large. So I just made the normal ones and roll it up and have some of it freezed for convenience. We had some for tea before sending Rae out for her piano lessons. If you would like to have the recipe for the Penang Lor Bak I made, the recipe can be found here and the steps here.

Since the start of the year, many places of leisure and play were so much in my thoughts because I wanted really to take a good break and be with the girls. The thought of how much stress Rae had faced in school, I really feel that there is not much of a childhood left to enjoy.

Where would be the best place to reward a kid, do you think. My girl had learnt much of the beauty and charm of Disneyland and I am amazed how my young girl’s dream could have come this far and now it belongs to my daughter. She loves all the Disney princess and watches the Disney channel most of the time too.

I’ve just found out that a website specially catered to holidays in sunny Florida can be found in http://www.florida4less.co.uk. Here one can actually book hotels around Florida, even purchase flight tickets, insurance and of course not to forget the magical land of Disney themed parks. I think this is a cool website because at least when you have a focus on a location, you don’t have to worry about all the other sites competing against each other selling packages and hotels most of the time. Florida holidays is a family friendly and most vacated place in the world for many decades so having a website like that is definitely a great service.

My mom usually finds her newspapers getting wet whenever it rains. Our vendor normally just place the morning papers in between the grills of the gates. Although we have a mailbox, it is not big enough to place the papers in if it rains. Thus, I have decided to look for a larger Mailbox that can accommodate larger packages and newspapers as well.There aren’t many shops that sell mailboxes, especially the decorative types. Most of what I’ve seen are very common types and what most of our neighbours have. What I’d really like is to make an exception to the design and size of this mailbox so that it is easy to stand out from the neighbours especially when most of the houses look so similar to each other. This will prevent wrong packages and easy direction of our homes to our visitors too.

If you are also looking for decorative mailbox, check out mailboxixchange.com, an online mailbox distributor that has a wide variety of over 2500 mailbox and curbside decor products. I’ve never seen a store that carries that many varieties before. Also if you sign up wiith them as an affiliate member, link to their website. When a potential buys a mailbox through the link you provide, you get a affiliate earnings as well. Even signing up will earn you $20 so hurry up.

In the past our buildings were made of wood and natural resources. Although they derived from natural sources of wood, fibre and more there comes a time where they need to be replaced as they age and disintegrate over time and other factors like termites in wood.

An alternative for building materials that is growing popular is the use of steel structures, column, walls, partitions. Not only are they easy to maintain, you do not have to worry about aging problems. It is easy to install, durable and can withstand virtually any weather conditions. It is easy to incorporate ventilation systems, insulation if necessary and perfect for any types of buildings from a small storage space, barns, offices to large buildings for factories, warehouses and manufacturing buildings. Prefabricated steel buildings can also be custom-made to your measurements and design creating a modern hi-tech design that never goes out of style.
