All along I am enthralled with wood furniture. If it is possible, I would like to furnish my whole living hall with wooden chairs, tables and cupboards and it would be possible if I log in to woodcraft supply. Everything will look so neat and nice! But as it is now, my living hall consists of different varieties, leather sofas, glass coffee tables and wooden cupboards. They are so mixed up in a way! LOL.... Well, but worry not, as the saying goes, we need to be contented with what we have, what we need is more important than what we want, right?

Spring Cleaning
There are three stacks of DVDs still lying on on top of my TV cabinet. If something is not done about them soon, they will be donated or given away, I told my kids. Most of the DVDs belong to them and my son suggested some DVD cabinets, that will solve all the problem! But the question is, will we still use them? Do we still want to watch the movies over and over again? I do not like to keep things which are not useable anymore. I still have bags of clothes to be given away, all are lying in my store room. One of these days, I need to spring clean my house again. Wait till my heroes are back home, they are a great help! :)

Scooter
The last time I rode on a scooter was in the 1980s. Since then, I have never sat on a scooter before, times have changed now. There are so many errant drivers on the roads nowadays, the traffic is so much different from before. The drivers are not as cautious and civic minded as in the earlier years. There are also road bullies on the prowl and riding a scooter needs much caution and expertise in my area. It would be great if all motorcyclists have this type of broken ankle scooter instead of the usual bike, then accidents will not be so high a percentage in my area.

Musical Instruments
I really enjoyed the night of worshiping in the Concourse area during the MSF night. Everything went on fine except for the sound system. There was only one amplifier around and it would be great if there were more nicer speakers to accommodate the sound system. I remember coming by to this website where they have a nice range of cool phantom power supply at musicians friend. To know more about musical instruments and their products, I would strongly recommend this, I have thought of getting a whole set for my home use. I do not not need to visit karaoke lounges anymore, a home-based one will be very much comfortable!

Minor Renovation
My house has been undersgoing some minor renovation recently. The contractor has stopped half-way citing that some certain stock was inadequate and he is waiting for the products to arrive. This left me in the lurch, I would rather he finishes the renovation at "one go" so that I can tidy up the house once and for all. My balcony is in a mess due to some "leftovers".. some metals stuff and they reminded me of the u-bolts in this website. I hope the contractor will be able to finish before end of this month, I really don't like to see my house in a mess and it is very tedious to clean up again and again...

Events And Gifts
My girl is now in her second year in college, she is considered a "senior" now in a way. New students are coming in every now and then. It has been more than a year now since she left home and I remember I was so worried for her when she did. She is the "baby" in the family and I couldn't imagine that she has to do everything by herself now. Well, whatever it is, I wish her well and she is now very independent now. Lately she told me that there are a lot of events going on in her college, she is a committee member and need to be in charge of some sponsorship thingy. One of them is to get some unique gifts for some outstanding students and I would like to suggest these class rings high school to her. She might find some suitable gifts here in this website and might give her some ideas in one way or another.

Worship Practice
The third worship training will be on the 29th June...i am looking forward to the training session with Juwita who comes all the way from KL. she and her few musicians will be coming to Ipoh to "train" us for the worship services held every Saturday and Sunday. They are really great, we can learn a few tips here and there to improve our vocals and not only that, the guitarists, organists and drummers also have their talents improved to a higher level. I wanted to take up guitar lessons again and will get a fulltone ocd before I sign up for the lessons. Well, music is indeed in my blood and I hope that I will be able to catch up the musical instruments within a few months. I am looking forward to taking up guitar lessons and piano and of course vocal lessons as well.

Luxury Paris
My next dream trip will be in Europe and I hope that I can visit Paris, the romantic city... I would love to go for a free and easy trip with my family. No rushing here and there, no early wake up calls and feeling exhausted during the night, we rather have our own itinerary than to follow a guided tour. In order to plan our own tour, we must really surf for the right website and information and the most important thing to do is the lodging and accommodation. Once this is settled, we can set forth to planning the daily tours. There is a website whereby we can check out for luxury Paris rentals, I am sure they will be able to cater our family of four. We need to do a lot of homework, comparing the rates and locality and I hope we can be able to find one that will accommodate our budget. :)

Employee Background Checkers
Economy is not too good nowadays, we need to be careful in our spending and budget ourselves until the next paycheck comes. For those of us who have a steady income and job, we should be thankful because there are a lot of jobless people now and in order to survive, some have no choice but to turn to "easy money" out by committing crimes. One of the ways to eradicate crime rate is to introduce more jobs and opportunities especially in the rural areas so that their means of living would be met. On the other hand, the employers will usually have a hard time taking in good workers an this is where the link check background checks now come in. Read this website through and the employers will have a piece of mind on the workers who have been screened over by these professional people.

Free Gifts
I read in the papers recently that the tax is going to increase on the cigarettes and cigars again. I am sure many smokers will not be prepared to welcome this but on the other hand, the majority will thank the government for increasing the tax so as to discourage the people from smoking. While I was in US, I came across a shop handing out cigar samplers and of course, I could only look at them giving out the free gifts. But I get my round of free gifts when I was in the commissary... a sales lady was giving out free samples of perfume and I quickly lined up for that. :)

Cool Designs Sunglasses
These hot sunny weather days are not over yet. I really do not like to drive during the hot afternoons especially nowadays. I have lost my pair of sunglasses, not really lost, I think I must have misplaced them somewhere. Being absent minded, I cannot recall where I have put them. If they are still not found within a week, I would have to get a new pair of sunglasses. My eyes will not need to "suffer" any more during the day when the sun is glaring into my eyes. I think I better check out eyesave.com for carrera sunglasses for their beautiful designs, they really look very cool and I think I will look great in them! :)

Healthy Lifestyle
Nowadays people are more health conscious already. My brother-in-law who was an avid smoker last time had eventually gave up smoking recently. One of the advice I heard is "never touch anything that burns in your lips, once you start, it will be difficult to end" and that includes cigars for beginners too. Some said cigars are not as "damaging" as the cigarettes but I still love that quote above. Don't put anything in our mouth that could lead to side effects in our bodies. Anyway, I am glad that my BIL has given up on smoking and I hope he will start to lead a healthy lifestyle from now onwards.

Musical Intrument
I am very interested in music. If I could turn back the clock to thirty years back, I would take up music for sure! But unfortunately, during my time, there was no such opportunity for me to pursue my studies lest alone music. Anyway, all is not lost, I can still pursue my passion in music by singing and playing my guitar. Awhile ago, I came across the word Oboe as one of the music instruments, have you ever heard of it? From what I read here, an oboe is a soprano-ranged, double reed musical instrument made from a wooden tube, with metal keys, a conical bore and a flared bell. Well, indeed it sounds interesting, something like a clarinet to me. :) I would love to listen to the live music of this oboe if I may, any musical instrument will portray out good music, I am sure.

Moral Support Is Important
Something I came across today in the online website as I was surfing for news on today's happenings. There are so many cases of depression in families, in individuals that cause a lot of sadness and uncertainty to human hearts. But on the positive side, if there are encouragement and moral support from friends and families, the dependency on drugs can be overcome and one of the solutions is to register in the best rehab center. It is important to focus on the root cause of an individual patient's issues and from there, something positive can be worked out with the help of trained staff and professionals.

Passion For Guitars
There is supposed to be cell group tonight in Jennifer's place but I just received a call from her that a few of the cell members have fallen sick and they were not able to go. She added that the only person who anticipated in going tonight is the worship leader, he is the main guitarist in our group now. In fact when he is around in our cell group, he makes music come alive with his guitars. His passion for music fills our hearts with worship and one time I even asked him to sell me one of his old guitars. I am all willing to buy from him and I know that he is saving up to get one of these Alvarez Guitars. Once he has bought it, he will bring it to our cell group...

Prevention and Protection Comes Together
Nowadays I never subscribe to hardcopy newspaper anymore, I update myself with online news and have been doing that for the past few years. One of the reasons for not buying newspaper is that I do not want to read distressing news each day. Murders, robberies, kidnapping, rape, lives lost in fires and many more tragedies that bring sorrow and pain when I read about them. I prefer to read the do and don'ts, how to prevent or avoid such tragedy and recently I went for a seminar talk on how to "survive" in a city, literally.
City survival is for the ladies especially the teens and the young adults, how to prevent oneself from being stalked and become a victim of rape and murder which has been happening rampantly these days. The speaker has taken efforts to analyze case after case, why and how it happened and what are the ways to avoid such mishap. In cases like fires, he recommended that we should invest in some protection and one of them is getting some fire blankets for home. With these anti-fire blankets, the percentage of getting burnt is low, accidents do happen at home, especially with small kids and toddlers, it is best that we keep some household protection. As the saying goes, it is advisable to invest in some protection and get some prevention.

Cheap And Nice
Talking about cheap used instruments, it gives me an idea that perhaps I should get a second hand guitar instead of buying a new one. My friend suggested that a used guitar is good choice too, something like "seasoned" strings on the guitar and it gives better sound effect. Yes, I believe it and not only it is better, the price of a used guitar is comparatively cheaper than a new one. It gives me an idea, I might sell my current guitar for a cheaper rate and exchange it for another "second-hand" guitar with better effect. This way I will not have to spend a lot, right? :)

Winter Clothing
I remember it was freezing cold when I went to Korea during the winter a couple of years ago, I have never experienced such coldness. Even my kids were shivering in their winter clothing, gloves and woolen caps. But despite the cold weather, our family trip is very memorable. We had a lot of fun traveling as a family and if there is another opportunity, we would love to go during winter again. But this time we must equip ourselves with the proper winter clothing and we canfind patagonia on sale here in this website.

Playing With Mitzi
I love playing with Mitzi while I was holidaying in my sister's ranch in Sacramento. Mitzi is her pet mongrel, she is a very intelligent dog and while we were there, she loves to play catch with us. What I usually do each morning is to throw a frisbee in the air and she will quickly run after it and jumped up to catch hold of the frisbee! Even I am writing this, my heart feels enlightened just imagining the scenerio in my mind. The next time I go, I know what to get for Mitzi, it would be great to give her a new frisbie and I can even get some beautiful personalized frisbees over here in this website!

Computer Carts
I do most of my computer work in my own bedroom because I love to multi task. With the laptop on the bed and sitting on a low chair, I will watch television and at the same time, I will surf the Internet. But lately my back is giving me some kind of ache and my friends advised me to look into these computer carts at standsandmounts and get one suitable for myself. They told me that I am not young anymore, I need to have a proper table to do my work and not to put my laptop on the bed. It is also dangerous in a way, don't you think so? Yes, I will certainly look into these computer carts and get one for myself.
