Holidayssss

Now that Dylan is 2 years old, my holiday plans have started again. In 2 weeks time, I will be heading off a sunny tropical island for a holiday with my girlfriends. And another month later, another weekend getaway with another group of girlfriends. That’s not it, I have also just booked a vacation for hubb and I end of this year. With so much travel plans, I think I should be getting term life insurance and make sure I am adequately covered.

Fitness at home

Hubby has been considering setting up a small gym at home, since we are entitled for income tax deductions for sporting equipment. However, these equipments are pretty expensive. So the plan is tentatively on hold. How I wish that we can find some refurbished fitness equipment, It would be good if we can get something of good quality at a fraction of the price!

New laptop

Everyday, it take 10-15 minutes for my laptop to start up in the morning. I have time to go to the washroom, make a cup of coffee, drink coffee and still my outlook is not loaded yet. I can’t wait for July to come. Come July, my current laptop will be 3 years old, and I will be entitled to a brand new laptop as my company is using a laptop leasing program.

Kids program

Bryan is not allowed to watch the cartoon channels during the week. The channels are all password locked. Instead the limited time he gets to watch TV is usually the TVIQ channel. And it is a good channel as it contains educational programs. He watches it and now I get all sorts of request… to create a kaleidoscope, conduct science experiments, and help him design a cardboard display. Well…I can’t complain since he is also learning from these activities.

Settled!

Earlier this month, I made the final payment for my study loan. It felt so good to know that I have finally settled my study loan. I settled it a couple of months ahead of schedule, thanks to a “gift” from hubb. And next month I will be making the final car installment for my car..yay..finally… So glad to be rid of those debts. But before that, I need to get some auto insurance quote. It is due for renewal soon.

Insurance

My car insurance will be due soon. I have been getting lousy gifts from my current car insurance company and thus am tempted to change to another one. So I have been reading car insurance reviews to see which company offers the best service, quality and free gifts. A nice golf umbrella would be good but a free car breakdown service package would be even better!

Weigh loss solutions

I met up with a good friend yesterday. I had not seen her for more than 6 months and am very surprised that she has lost a lot of weight, more than 10 kgs! She had been overweight for a long time and I am very happy to see that she has lost some weight. She certainly looks healthier. I later learned that she has started to go to gym regularly and eating healthier food. Looks like that is the best safe fat burners.

Tall people

My impression of Korean men (from the TV dramas of course) is that they are all very tall. In fact even the ladies are tall. I later learned from my Korean friend that it is quite common for parents to feed their growing children human growth hormone in Korea so that they can grow taller. WOW..I did not even know that such things existed…

Natural slimming solutions

Does anyone knows if the natural slimming pills actually works and if there are any side effects? I have read so many news reports of side effects from so called “natural pills” and thus have stayed away from them. Of course, I am sure there are also really safe ones but I do not know which one of them are. So if you know of one, be sure to drop me a line.

Acne solutions

I met up with my pharmacy friend yesterday and asked her if there are any supplements that I can take to help my breakout problem. She says she doesn’t know of anything special other than the usual vitamins and minerals supplements. She advised me to have more frequent facials and see if that helps and perhaps try a mild acne cleanser to deep cleanse the pores and kill the bacterias.
