JustLife Organic Shop

I am an organic food advocate and have been rather blessed to have access to many organic shops around my area. One of my favourite is JustLife which often captivate me with their freestyle graphics, creative food labels and marketing concept. Most importantly, I like to buy fresh vegetables and fruits from the shops as they are carefully selected and freshness is guaranteed.

JustLife has recently opened its flagship store in Ikano Power Centre, Kuala Lumpur with a sit down cafe serving organic food. There is a wider selection of fruits and vegetables in the long storage place which resembles very much like the ones you see in supermarkets. I am very impressed by their interiors and decor, which is nicely designed - kudos to the design team at JustLife. The root vegetables are placed in wooden baskets like the ones in the market... a nice touch to getting close to nature.

I just realized that I erased the photos of the shop - argrhh.. ok, I'm heading to the shop to retake some photos and will post them later.

Seng is getting a new home

During one of our dinners with Seng, we were discussing about buying and investing new homes and properties. Seng has lived in San Francisco in the last 20 years and is considering buying a place of his own. According to him, the property prices in SF have not stopped rising in the last few years. That makes it challenging to afford a place. When buying an existing home, you also need to budget for renovation and remodelling costs, which can be a hefty sum, depending on material costs, design and architectural changes.

So one way to afford is to consider construction loans as they help to provide enough for the purchase of the property as well as the construction costs. Seng had found some useful remodeling loan information on the internet which explained clearly on how he could include all repair, renovation and expansion expenses in the remodelling construction loan program which included fixing a new roof, designing a new kitchen or bathroom, changing existing flooring etc. The website also provided comprehensive construction loan information for new home owners like himself.

Well, I do hope that by the time we visit Seng in SF, he is already a proud home owner. I can sense that Clayton is already missing Uncle Seng... we are looking forward to see him this Christmas in LA.

Prepaid calling card useful for travelling

When I travel overseas, I usually carry a prepaid calling card as it is cheaper to call using a prepaid phone card than from my mobile phone or fixed line. And with prepaid phone cards, the flexibility allows you to use it wherever you are and the savings can be significant. Recalling from our last Australia vacation, I was using a prepaid phone call to book for my accommodations as calling via auto roam service can be costly.

Now, here is the real promotion at Pingo, the prepaid calling card provider. Just sign up for a minimum of $20 credit now and you receive $5 FREE international calling card calls PLUS $25 online store gift certificate. This certificate can be used with all participating online merchants including Mrs Fields, International Wine Cellars and Impromptu Gourmet.

Pingo is also known for its lowest international calling rates which is extremely great if you need to call overseas or if you are travelling. It is easy to use and you can add more credit value to your International rechargeable phone card at your convenience, anytime, anywhere.

Plastic surgery gets fashionable

When a company or business is featured in Fortune magazine, it better be newsworthy. I was reading an article about how plastic surgery is no longer done in hospitals but in fashionable malls and in trendy settings. How about walking into a 1 million plastic surgery facility in hip and upmarket Beverly Hills to get a 'makeover' or a Beverly Hills breast reduction?

Just as I think that most boob jobs are for enlargement and enhancement, I learnt about the infamous Rodeo Drive Shaped for Fashion Breast Reduction. I also recalled the story of an entrepreneur who started an online store just to cater to butsy women who are average-sized.

The Rodeo Drive Shaped for Fashion Breast Reduction is specially designed for women who not only needs a breast reduction due to physical discomforts and inconveniences, but it goes a step further in focusing on the shape and position. The main purpose is to perform a surgery that will harmonize with the overall body shape so that the patient can look and feel good, and be at her best in all sorts of fashionable attire. It sounds like an uniqueLos Angeles breast reduction program.

All surgeries are performed in the deluxe facility at Rodeo Drive and patients can ensure a pleasant, professional and relaxing experience from the team at Rodeo Drive Plastic Surgery. Dr Lloyd Krieger is a popular face in the media for his exceptional surgical approach in helping many women achieve their desired goals in breast reduction in beverly hills in the efforts of looking more confident and fashionably beautiful .

Paypal not responding

Lately, many bloggers in Malaysia are facing problems with PayPal. Apparently, the withdrawal feature that allows users to accept money is not active and users are requested to present an US bank account. The problem with PayPal is that the support department takes ages to respond and another frustration is that by the time they respond, your concern may not be addressed.

Sometime back, I wrote to them with an issue and they actually responded and said that due to high volume of customers' feedback, they weren't able to respond and cope with the requests. And that was it. No answer to my question, just a lame excuse that I won't be getting any answer cos they were swarmed.

For a huge payment gateway like PayPal, I do expect better customer service support than this. I do hope that they will resolve this issue soon and fix this glitch.

We need insurance, so do pets

Do you have pets? If you do, you will understand how expensive it can be when your pet is ill or unwell. Though I don't own a pet, I have heard friends complaining about the expensive bills in pet healthcare. Just like anyone of us who needs a medical insurance, buying pet insurance for your pets can save you money on veterinary treatment and costs in the long run. With pet health insurance, you don't have to worry about major surgeries and unexpected veterinary costs.

terrific TWO? terrible TWO?

I've been warned of the 'terrible two' by books, magazines, friends and parenting websites. But I have insisted not to believe in what everyone says about the 'terrible two'. I prefer to be positive in calling it the 'terrific two'.

My 2.5 yo has been manifesting all the characteristics of a toddler. He is developing a mind of his own. He tells you what he wants, what he likes, what he is afraid of; he negotiates, throws tantrums, tests his limits, pushes his boundaries... he is growing, changing and becoming.

Yes, it is exciting, frustrating, annoying, amusing, at the same time, comforting. His vocabulary is expanding so fast, faster than I can imagine or think of... he listens, he is attentive, I better watch what I am saying... you just never know what he's absorbing.

Lastly, he is officially weaned. It is a wonderful journey in the 2.5 years. I will never forget the details of this nursing journey... motherhood is just a beginning...

DH loves hot dogs

Mother's day is just passed and next would be Father's day. Well, we have never celebrated this occasion as DH tends to say that these things are too commercialized. Just when I think I can save on his Father's day gift, I saw this Home Pride Ballpark Hot Dog Rotisserie that I know will impress him a great deal! This seems like a fantastic fathers day gift idea for him cos DH loves hot dogs. He went to Uni in States so hot dogs were his favourite food in his early adult years.

Don't you think this is great for men who love soccer or footy parties?

Vote for your video

Following up from my earlier post on the contest happening at GoFish.com, I was checking up on some of the videos submitted and they were simply hilarious! Denton Rose 101 Intro to
a stud muffin showed Denton (who claimed to have dated Britney) teaching they guys the prep to a date. In a quick glance, he looked a little like Elvis and this guy was creative in his script and story. He even showed how the guys should start building those muscles with those dumb bells. I enjoyed his video, no wonder he was voted as one of the top contestants.

So, who would be the 'lucky' guy to win a hot date with beautiful, Mirelly Taylor, who acted in Kiss Me Again and Serving Sara and television shows including “Las Vegas”, “Punk’d”, and “Numb3rs”. This show will also see the appearance of Emmy Award Winning Producer, Scott Sternberg, and Andrew Firestone from “The Bachelor”.

Who knows, you can be one of those who could get a close encounter with Mirelly.

I can't wait to find out who is the lucky guy...

A peek at indoor fountains

I tend to take notice at indoor fountains feature wherever I am, whether it's visiting a friend's house, a restaurant, a shopping mall, a retail shop or in a business office. Somehow, watching a fountain brings me mental relief and calms my emotional being. The sounds of fountains are soothing, relaxing and comforting. My friend, Tracy, has a wall fountain near the entrance of her house and it is beautiful.

Nowadays, it is common to place tabletop fountains or misting fountain in the house or office. Besides being an ornament and decorative display, a mist fountain is known for being a humidifier and an ionic purifier in the room. Great for adding moisture in the air during winter months and in dry climates. Besides, it is beautiful to behold, safe and natural, with no chemicals used in creating the mist.

Don't ask me why but I simply adore table top fountains. I always find them beautiful and if positioned at the right place, it becomes part of the living space. Watching the water feature and hearing the sounds of the flowing water breaks up the monotony of everyday stresses.

Maybe I should start shopping for one in my home office... at least I have something to admire when my mind gets too cluttered and overwhelmed...

The pajama set is a combination of knit long sleeve rib tee with applique "Purrrfect" Cat design and the bottoms are an overall print baby rib with an elastic waist band. Well, I just love children clad in cute pajamas :) Go check out the other designs... I promise you will be spending too much deciding which ones to buy... btw, this is not a sponsored post :)

Completely weaned

Today is the day 7 of complete weaning. It's been a wonderful journey in the last 2.5 years... seems like yesterday and I am so glad I made it. Clayton is learning to sleep through since. I know it has been tough for him but he is doing so well and I'm so proud of him.

Just a message to any moms who are still nursing your babies or toddlers.. keep on the good work!

IT transformational software

I was plainly browsing some business websites and stumbled upon Troux Technologies, a leading company in IT Transformation software and solutions. Troux Standards Management solutions transform a business’s current state to a desired state that provides optimum value through risk management, cost management and investment planning. Along with providing business solutions and supporting platforms for an organization, the team work alongside with clients to achieve their goals and guide them towards the future initatives.

Account suspended??

Oh dear... I woke up this morning, opened up all my blogs and guess what, two of my accounts had been suspended!! I panicked, I was worried... what happened?

Something came to my mind, we ran an email campaign yesterday and that could cause a problem. I questioned DH on this and he confirmed that an email blast was sent out to in relations to a marketing campaign for our upcoming event.

I probed further and wrote to the hosting center and found out that we were reported for SPAMvertising! How in the world did that ever happened?

Now, I'm trying to get my sites up again... I am upset with DH, upset with the entire campaign. Know what, we are not spammers and we do not spam! C'mon hostgator, please reinstate my account!!

A perfect nose

Do you like your nose? Ever wish for a sharp nose, thinner nose, taller nose or smaller nose? I had a friend in secondary who loved pinching her nose. I asked her why once and she told that would make her nose taller and sharper - true? I think so. But if you want a nose like the celebrity on the moviescreen, then you need to consider a Beverly Hills rhinoplasty... oh yes, that's the home of the rich, the famous, the stylish, the high taste, the glamour and the "who is who"!



The unique thing about a Beverly Hills nose job is The Rodeo Drive Breathe Easy Rhinoplasty. What makes it special is that the surgeons do not just construct a nice nose to suit your face shape and features, but the treatment also ensures that you can breathe well after the surgery. In other words, not only do you get a beautiful nose at the end of the treatment, you can breathe freely and perfectly, unlike some surgeries which focus on the aesthetics and compromise on the breathing aspects.

Like a nose job done... start saving and head to Beverly Hills for a California rhinoplasty!

Be a cutting edge real estate agent

If you want to be a cutting-edge real estate agent these days, you gotta be different, creative and stand out from the crowd. How? You wonder.

First and foremost, you need to possess superior customer service and be reliable, trustworthy and honest. Few years ago, DH and myself met a real estate agent for a property viewing and the lady was tactless enough to ask DH if I was his 'daughter' (lol)... I was dressed casually in shorts and I did so young then :) Then, we also had experience with agents who were late for appointments and never delivered their promises.

One other ways to be an organized and efficient real estate agent would be to look into investing in a Real Estate Software. The AgentOrganizer helps to organize your clients' list, listings, appointments, buyers, sellers...etc. Also, you can prepare marketing materials such as newsletters, flyers, pamplets for clients and potential buyers.

My online banking experience

I've been so frustrated with the online banking facilities with my Citibank credit card... it is always 'temporarily not available' and that is causing delays in my payment! But the truth is that I have been a Citibank card member for the last 16 years and I haven't regretted one bit. With Citibank, I can make a collect call in any part of the world and the customer support is always helpful. Once, I recalled losing my credit card while holidaying in Tasmania and I got a replacement the next day! That was how efficient the bank can be!

Since I am living overseas, it only makes sense for me to do all my banking online - savings and current. It makes all banking transactions convenient, all at the click of the mouse - thanks to wireless broadband and internet connection.



My UK friend was telling me about how important it was for her to open bank accounts with reputable banks to be ensured of unwavering support and service. Recently, Alliance & Leicester had been named as Best Current Account Provider, a prestigious award by UK's best selling personal finance magazine, Moneywise. For that, the choice was clear and she didn't have to think too hard about which bank to choose.

Do you conduct your banking online too? What is experience with that?

My Pick on Hawaii Vacation Rentals

I'm in the mood to conduct a quick research on my Hawaii vacation rental options for my family vacation in December. As usual, I prefer making my Hotel Reservations online which often come with attractive hotel discounts and other perks.

Here are a couple of apartments I pick along the way ...



1) RESORTQUEST WAIKIKI BEACH TOWER
Well, this one is premium, luxurious, my preferred accommodation, located on Kalakaua Avenue, known for its trendy shopping, dining and entertainment venues. With public transportation nearby, it seems to be the ideal choice to explore the island!



It satisfies my requirements of having a well-equipped kitchen and private balcony that overlooks the ocean, plus other amenities include cable television, DVD players and Internet access! That means, I can still blog at my convenience - *wink* As expected, this luxurious property does come with a price tag of approx $400 per night (outch!)



2) CASTLE WAIKIKI SHORE
This 31/2 star oceanfront property seems ideal in terms of price, location, amenities and features. Affordably priced at $210 per night for a studio oceanview, it is only one block from bustling Kalakaua Avenue and within easy access of public transport too.



With plenty of sun, sand and recreational activities, shady picnic areas, it is a lovely place to catch a morning sunrise or sip margaritas before the beautiful sunset vistas. The hotel offers daily housekeeping service with a variety of studio, one- and two-bedroom suites that are bright, airy and spacious with an island feel. All rooms are well-equipped with Internet access and kitchen facilities,a balcony for a perfect relaxation and what more, some of the two-bedroom units have a second bathroom and a 42-inch plasma television!



These information come from HotelReservations which offer online vacation rentals for worldwide destinations. The rates offer on this site are competitive and what I really like is that every property comes with detailed description and dramatic photos, which are useful in the selection process. You can choose to book your hotels online or call the toll free number, and in any case if you have any queries, the team will be ready to assist you in your vacation needs.

Happy Mother's Day!

To all moms:



Happy Mother's Day with Love...

Are you brand conscious?

How many pair of sunglasses do you own? I've got a friend who is 'crazy' over sunglasses. She has almost every style for every fashion attire - business, sports, casual - but she would not spend money on branded ones.

Even though the ones she bought were not 'branded', I was often attracted to the nice design and superior quality of her sunglasses. Through her, I began to realize that good sunglasses need not come with an expensive endorsement or brand. A lot of those replica ones sold in flea markets, shopping kiosks or fairs are almost similar to designer-labeled ones, except that there is no monogram on them. It is important to ensure that the lens are genuine and of good quality, comes with authentic UV protection and do not warp under heat conditions.



In the light of business opportunity, if you are keen on setting up a business selling replica sunglasses, I discover that there is a wholesale sunglasses online store that may interest you. There are all sorts of sunglasses available and they can fetch good profits if sold in the right locations as the costs of these replicas are fairly low compared to branded ones.

Actually, I am rather impressed with all the designs... if you are not the brand conscious sort, you would share my sentiment... but if you are, go get the expensive originals :)

Back from Singapore

Just got back from Singapore and I'm blogging again!

It was a fruitful trip. We had officially started a new business in Singapore and this deal had finalized faster than we could imagine or think. Looking back, I met up with my good friend a month ago and from that dinner, we ended being business partners! I have known RL for 20 years and I never dreamt that we would reconnect back in this manner after a long communication break of 10 years. I can see that he is doing so well in his consulting firm and I am truly proud of him.

Moving forward, I am excited to launch our first event in November and getting this new business up and going in the next few months.

More reports on the trip coming soon...

Another trip to Singapore

I'm off to Singapore for a business trip later today. We will be finalizing our partnership with a Singapore consultant company to start up a new seminar company in Singapore. This is an exciting partnership and I am happy that we can have a business in Singapore, that means, making some Singapore dollars (*lol*).

So... going to miss blogging for a couple of days. Guess it's time to take a little break with the family as well... and yes, to be home on Mother's Day.

Have lovely weekend, everyone.

The importance of CRM system

Building up a business is never easy, as with most things in life. So when we began our seminar business, we had no database in our list and it was an exciting journey. I am happy to say that after 5 years in the seminar business, we have built a database of close to 10K, the list making up of our customers and contacts from our events as well as partners' database.

As we have building a telesales team, DH is beginning to consider a more efficient way to track sales performance and manage our base. A reliable and efficient crm software can increase the productivity of the team and eventually, lead to more sales and increased profits. Also, one of the advantages of a CRM software such as AIMpromote helps to define and create an overview report of quality leads and the ROI of a campaign implemented.

I just realized that there is an online demo video to better explained the CRM system at AIMpromote and yes, a 14 day free-trial... that might be a good start for us.

Talk art, talk expression

Alot of my friends expect me to paint well, just because I study graphic designer. Little do they know that art and design are quite different in its own right. I love acrylic paintings but am just never cut out for fine art painting.



Personally, I'm attracted to vibrant colours and abstract compositions, textures and form appeal strongly to me, just like the art of Russian Artist Victor Lysakov, whose works have recently been introduced to the American art lovers. His modern expressionist paintings triggers thoughts, induce curiosity and bring a sense of mystery to some. From his works, I can see his appreciation for animals, creatures, nature, traditional and modern motifs. The forms are bold and each art exudes its own space, depth and expression.



I may not know how to paint well but I enjoy seeing blended tones and shades of colours transformed into a totally new art form while the subject matter depict life and its unique meaning. If you share my love for expressionist paintings, this page shoes some of my favourites by the gifted artist, Victor Lysakov.

How cool is your shades?

How much do you know about shades? Do you know that sportsmen and athletes prefer shades with polarized sunglasses? So what exactly are polarized lens?

Polarized sunglasses are better known for its well-defined clear vision and the best ones to fight glare. All sunglasses have tints and coatings that reduce the sun's glare but due to the treatments to the coatings, the lens filter is affected by the light hitting the lens. And because polarization is not a coating, it blocks only the glare, thus, ensuring a crisp vision.

Now that you know the facts, let's check out some cool shades by Kaenon Polarized Sunglasses...


One of my favourites is Klemm - Made in Italy, this is meant for the retro, fashion-inspired and those who want to look the versatility of wearing this on the street or serious play.


If you prefer a lightweight, simple, subtle and unisex frame, don't miss the UPD™, made with stainless steel hinges offering maximum comfort and protection for sport or street.



This pair of Delite is sexy, luxurious and as stylish as polarized sunglasses can take its style! I like that!

Now that you have some facts about polarized sunglasses, it's your turn to pick your style for your next outdoor adventure at Ads Sports Eyewear.

The website building software

Couple of months ago, my DH had been reminding me about an upcoming internet marketing preview to be held in the heart of town. That was the 'preview' that got many seminar junkies talking about it. Why? The marketing approach was unique.

StoresOnlineInc.com hosted a luncheon or dinner session for FREE and you even got a freebie to take home. If I could recall, a professional desktop diary. Anyhow, DH attended it and even bought a couple of workshop tickets, with a hope that I would tag along.

So what does Storesonline specializes in? Very simply, it is meant for anyone (entrepreneur, business) who is keen to set up a store online, by using its powerful website building software. According to DH, the attendance was fantastic and about 10% of the audience (10-20) signed up for the online software package.
