Internet world soon

Nowadays, internet is a must to know. People getting lazier each day and in future...everyone will rely on internet on their daily basis. No need to even walk out of their home to get food and pay their bills.
I wonder when everyone will start to work-at-home, in 10-50 years time?

Then we really can save buying branded clothes, expensive cosmetic, shoes and etc. Everything will be virtually. I think there are so many futuristic movies where going to be reality with no doubt.

There is always pros and cons on anything implemented.

Anyway....here is 2 links where you can pay traffic summons in Malaysia:

EPF - 5.8% for 2010

The Employees Provident Fund (EPF) has declared a dividend of 5.8 percent for 2010, up from 5.65 percent declared the year before, buoyed primarily by good performance in the equities market.

I do hope next year, we will get 6 percent but it is something we can doubt on partially, while hoping on the other side.

A man with the biggest family

I was amaze that there people are still able to do this....I wonder how they cope as the amount of wives and children to feed everyday. I do think it is quite hard life.

Last day of CNY

As of 17 Feb 2011, it is Chap Goh Mei where it also can be indicated women throw oranges into river or lake as to find their life partner. I still hear firecrackers around 9pm or so. Well, time passes really quick.

This morning, I took an hour to reach office extremely late as there was 4 cars and 1 lorry pile up at jalan tun razak.

Ending the night by having a big argument over DATE issue. Is it that important to set the best day for the day? What is the purpose and outcome? I cannot stand to be over superstitious. Cannot pick a day which practical for everyone?

Will

I always think of this time to time...what if!

I think it is a good thing to do a will as precaution, but we asian dislike to talk about death. I do normally take this topic quite casually, but majority of my circles try to not to talk about it if possible.

oh well...i think it is a good reading thou and as reference just in case.

Wet Market Incident

Previous years, I never like going to wet market to buy veggies and meat as I consider one of the scariest place to go. After forcing myself to wet market, I find the stuff in market are fresher and worthy to buy than in supermarkets. But the sellers know that I'm not a C-Lai who knows the right price to bargain.

But this morning, I went to the pork stall....as I wanted to cook stewed pork with dried oysters and fatt choi (sea moss). I was splattered with pig blood TWICE when the butcher accidentally place the pork slab on the wet table twice. My front blouse was filled with red dots....thank goodness the blood didn't splattered on my face...if not...I will be running like a crazy woman to my car without the pork.

I follow this recipe to cook my favourite dish, it took me 2 hours to cook it:

Blue and black spot

When I was at my hometown during the CNY festival, I spent most of my time playing with my niece. It is quite tiresome but it is nice thou. Until she started to say "martial art time"....then she start to pretend to be Bruce Lee....with all the Heya!! heYa!! along with her hands and legs flying around. When I time out her, she will tell me that "I need exercise". :P

By the time I was back in KL, my sis was walking behind me suddenly ask me why my both legs got so many spots of blue and black....only I realise I was beaten by my own 3.5 yrs old niece. smack head....I wonder what she will become when she is grown up.

Morning Event

Came to office at 11am as this morning, I was heading to work...my car died on me. The battery went flat, so is one of the tyres. Thank goodness, the place I staying is very convenient as most of the shops are walking distance to my place. Everything was done in less than 1 hour.

Those my favourite places near my home (within walking distance):
1) Dessert
2) Boutiques
3) Wet market
4) Groceries
5) Pasar malam (only on monday night)
6) Facial Beauty

When I mean walking distance, it is really very short walking distance as I HATE exercise and I dread to walk too long on the road as it is quite dangerous with so many crime everyway.

CNY mood is over

Today is my first day of working from CNY. I went back to Muar on 30-Jan-2011, the day I arrived my hometown...it is raininig non-stop for 3 days. It is rarely seen the place is raining or drizzle without stop.

During the journey to Muar, inside the Muar...the air-con was spoilt. It was so suffocating till everyone unable to breath. My little niece aged 3 yrs old keep on asking me to play with her in the bus. I nearly had my migrain during the journey. When step off the bus, we were soak as it was raining heavily. For this CNY festival, it is rarely so cold weather.

On the next day, 31-Jan-2011....I successfully cook my favourite dish which I have been longing to cook by following the recipe I googled. It was one of the easiest dish to cook but it is delicious to be the main dish without addition side dishes. I'm so so happy.

I really spent 10 days (from 29 Jan till 07 Feb 2011) by keeping myself away from work life. It was nice in a way but it is still tiresome as the kids keep bugging me to play. I normally work without going out off the office. Taking care of kids are harder and need a LOT of energy. My family members keep asking me why I keep drink softdrinks and sweet stuff.....it is because I don't want to faint out of sudden while playing with them.

I met my old school mates, and asking the kids to play fireworks with my niece and nephew. It is great and fun but I do think things can be manage easier and organised if everyone help out and take care the kids with me.
