I like history. When I was at school, I used to score high marks in history, even if I hardly memorize the facts. I read the books like reading stories books, and only remembered vaguely about the chronicles.
The only part of the history that I didn’t like was politics in Islamic history. I like the “stories”, but I was having a hard time differentiate the names as they sounded also the same! If you have studied Islamic history before, you know what I meant!
If you listed down the names in alphabetical order, you would also find a few one with the same names. Unlike the kings of France who had numbers behind their names like Louis III or Louis V, they don’t have that in Islamic names.
No wonder George Lindemann is able to list out the names of politicians, I don’t think there’s a list of Islamic names. If there’s any, let me know! I’ll pass to those who are sitting for history exams!

After my usual yoga class the other day, I had a little chat with the ladies about my concern with my eye bags and dark circles. I asked if there is any facial exercise in yoga that will help to reduce eye bags. Sadly, there is none.
Thus, I guess if all these expensive eye creams and eyes masks really not working out, then plastic surgery would be my only option. But not now! Maybe after 10 years from, when they got reallyl worst!
If I were to get them done, I will not do it locally, I guess. I prefer Beverly Hills plastic surgery that has patients from all around the world flying there for plastic surgery as I would like to keep a low profile and surprise everyone with my new look. So, I got to save up money for that flight ticket and surgery fee now! LOL!

I’m quite old fashion when it comes to respecting our parents. I think that by all means, we are children need to take care of our parents when they are old. I’m not staying with my parents, but I really hope that one day I might stay with them, somewhere near with my parents-in-laws too, if possible, so we can take good care of them when they are old.
If only they have critical health related problems, then only I will consider sending them to nursing homes as they have better medical stuffs and facility for the elderly. Long Island nursing home reviews provide lots of information and insights if you are looking for nursing homes.
There is a list of nursing homes listed online, and will be a good help to those who are looking for one in US. Even if it’s not applicable to us from other countries, but the guidebook will still be useful as reference when we are looking for nursing homes locally.

last Saturday evening, I got a chance to clue myself in front of the idiot box, but I couldn’t find any interesting program on TV. When I was searching for the right channel, I came across this Singapore program about looking for potential lovers for anyone who has requested.
The 2 hosts were wandering around in the shopping mall, looking for potential single men that might be the one for the girl. I found the guy host familiar, and after thinking for some time, yes! I remembered him! He used to host another program many years ago when I was studying in JB and watched lots of Singapore program. But he looked different now. There’s something about his nose….
He must have gone for nose surgery!!!! He didn’t have a tall nose previously, but now he does! But I have to admit that he looks better with his new nose. Now, he’s more good looking than ever.

I’m involving a lot in writing paid posts for various companies as using blogs as a marketing tool is fairly common these days. Most of the posts I wrote were either neutral or positive only, from my point of view.
However, I know there are others who criticize sarcastically to blow down the reputation of those sites or products. Thus, in order to prevent this devastating blow to your renown reputation, search engine reputation management is the best solution you can get.
Brand reputation management company such as MatrixMT can re-build corporate reputations tarnished in the ranks of the Major Search Engines. Depends on the severity of the crisis, they are able to deploy on your behalf a multitude of pro-active measures to quell the situation.
If I have company web site listed, I will really consider getting help from brand name reputation management company.

Right after I gave birth to my babies, I felt fat and unattractive. Liposuction did came across my mind, but hubby said it’s only baby fat, I’d lose all my excessive weight after a few months. But that doesn’t stop my urge of finding out more about Liposuction.
I came across a website about liposuction Los Angeles and what caught my eyes was Dr. Amron’s statement about patient being conscious during liposuction is essential to achieving optimal results. I’ve always thought that liposuction should be done with general anesthetic….
The reason for this is that precise patient positioning is only possible under local anesthesia. Dr. Amron feels that it is impossible to meticulously sculpt an area without the patient being able to assume exact positions during the procedures because the patient positioning is crucial to achieving an outstanding result. If the angle of entry of the liposuction cannula is not always kept parallel to the skin surface irregularities and dimples may result. Dr Amrons’s technique is to start in the deep fat and gradually tunnel to the surface using progressively smaller and flatter cannulas. He also prefers to “crisscross” his passes with the cannula, creating a precise network of tunnels in the fat ensuring a smooth natural looking result.
Oh boy, to be honest, I’m chickened out of liposuction if I need to be concious. I’m afraid of long needles!

Luckily hubby and I agreed that we are doing fine with 2 kids for the time being, and there won’t be #3 until a few years later. I’ve been sleep deprived for a long time, and would very much to get myself some pampering and SLEEP before starting all over with newborn baby again!
I missed my days of having body spa and regular hairdo or facial at the salons. It’s really have to find time for such indulgence anymore, unless I get myself a short vacation away for a while, just by myself!
I’ll definitely be visiting places where I can shop and visit the spa everyday! Some places like Bali, San Diego, Bangkok, Japan, and etc. Maybe I’ll try San Diego as I’ve never had any friends who have been there, it’s worth trying it out as I won’t be affected by others experiences, and will be able to visit the place unbiasedly. Don’t worry, it’s easy to find the best San Diego day spa, as I can easily search for them from the internet.
But first, I need to work on the $$$ first. This trip will certainly cost a bomb!

Hubby is very particular about his hair. He said that middle-aged men generally have bigger belly or are getting bald. He doesn’t want to be in either of that group.
I’ve always joked to him that most bald guys are generally rich men, so if he wants to be rich, he got to be bald first! LOL! Anyway, why worry so much? He can always get a New Jersey hair transplants surgery to solve his hair loss problem, if he has any!
Talking about hair transplant, it’s the only surgery that is a permanent solution to hair loss. Modern techniques like Follicular Unit Hair Transplantation use a much smaller section of donor hair, usually about 1-4 hair follicles, that allow the hair transplant doctor to easily manipulate the follicle and avoid problems like hairs growing in the wrong direction and the pluggy “doll’s head” look. In addition, side effects like headaches after the hair transplant and scalp redness, have become quite rare. Best of all, unlike hair loss medications, the results of a hair transplant are permanent and usually require no more than a few follow-up visitations to reach completion. It’s better than just putting on a wig right? LOL!
But hubby asked me to stop cursing him as he doesn’t want to lose any of his hair yet. See, he’s so vain.

I like parties, let it be birthday, house-warming, baby shower, or just a party for friends to gather around. However, I hate organizing one as I don’t like preparing the food and cleaning up the mess later!
But it’s getting more convenient at organizing a home party, all I need to do is getting a food catering company for serving the food and a cleaning company to clean up the mess later! 
As for food catering, if you are organizing a party in San Diego, you can easily search for catering companies in San Diego from this directory. It pays to survey for the right food, reasonable price and also extra services provided by a few shortlisted catering companies, before deciding on the best one.
For this coming Chinese New Year, I have already been invited to a few parties beginining of next week. I’ll check out which catering company is giving the best food and service here.
