Being curious on how good my Philip blender/juicer, I started assemble it and started my work right away. This was also something in between waiting for my chicken to marinate and cooking it.

But as you know, normally blender do produce some machine sound and that had attracted Calvin to come into the kitchen to check it out what were I doing. Like usual, this curios and adventurous kid of mine, always like to have a try on new things.

Well, since he is tall enough and the machine is easy to operate, I’ve taught him how to do it and he did it quite nicely.

Next thing was, little Mervin also came into the kitchen and demanded (yes, demanded!) that he also have a try.

Okay, since Calvin knows how to do it, they both work together. One was peeling the mandarine oranges and the other one controlling the machine.

So far so good, so I’ve started to fried my chicken chop. And I did check on them in between, making sure that they are fine.

After a few oranges, Mervin said it seems to be too much already, but I’ve actually (yes I did) assured him that it won’t do any harm for another one or two more oranges.

But then… “Oh no!!!! Mommy!!!”

Okay.. it was too late now. Those juice just burst out from the blender and everything just all over the counter top, back splash area and the floor!

Next thing was, Mervin said “See! I told you, it is too much already!”

Okay.. whatever, it is too late now. Then within seconds, they are out from the kitchen and back to whatever that they were doing before coming into the kitchen. It was so funny though and I was surprise at myself that I wasn’t even angry. Probably cos I was the one who said it was okay. But who knows how many more oranges that they’ve put in after that.

Ha!

Next thing was.. well.. I still have to finished cooking my chicken chop first, before I can clean up the mess.

And ya.. that machine.. well.. I have to dismantle it and clean it inside out. Using about half an hour time to do that. That’s also why I’m writing this post this late. Just wanted to share this funny incident. The part that I love most was Mervin quickly told that he was right and both of them quickly made their exit from the kitchen. Luckily this in-house-maid know a bit of dismantling machine, else, goodbye Philips.

Well.. at least they’ve tried before and nothing lost. I still couldn’t help smiling though..

Of course when comes to books, they’ll love to read about trucks, planes and any big machine.

I used to buy trucks and cars for them as toys. And of course they love train too, like Thomas And Friends. Now that they are bigger, they no longer get all excited about seeing those big machines, except those rare ones like the tar machine that fills up the road with tar.

I’ve never bought them boat though. I wonder if they’ll like it.

When we were over at Sutera Harbor Marina, they were facinated by those beautiful boats. Of course they love to get on board of Logos Hope. Still, for this year round, I haven’t bring them on board of Logos yet.

I wonder what will they say when they saw the dinghy lift on certain boat. Which by the way is also call boat davits. Davits are actually make loading cargo easier. If you want to know more about davits, check out davits and pontoon boats in Yahoo.

I know they adore Transformers and Lego which by the way are originated from USA. It has certain assurance in buying US made products of course. But it also means higher cost. That’s why I was so happy to see Lego sold in Singapore in a relatively lower price!

Of course getting things from the States means brands, means better quality, but where can we get such luxury to enjoy that?

I’ll just stick to whatever that is offering in the market as for toys.

It has subtropical and tropical climate, plus it has the longest coastline in the States. It is famous for its oranges production.

Subtropical and tropical climate means it won’t get too cold in Florida and you get to enjoy the sea with its longest coastline! Now, it sounds like a good place for me to stay other than the thread of hurricane. Just take a look at Map of Florida, you’ll see a narrow state with its long coastline.

I also like the design of homes in Stuart Florida. I also love those house plans shown online, just look at this one:

Isn’t it a nice little cottage? It has basement and 1st floor which has rooms for future extension. It also looks like a cool and airy house to live in. Most probably there are some already available in the market through Kolter Homes.

Okay, I’m starting to imagine myself staying there and going to the beach every weekend (at least). Probably taking up surfing lessons too. But let me learn how to swim properly first, ha!

Now, let’s see how I can go about it? Selling everything I have over here? Quit my job? Get a job in Florida? Hmm.. that means I need to be qualify for whatever that is available over in Florida. Are they looking for a professional librarian who knows Chinese?

Wait, what about my family? What about my two boys? And getting house there is such a major investment. What more it is in US dollars, which is triple of what we have here (Malaysia). If I really need to do that, I’ll really need to get a high pay job. Let’s just remain here on what I’ve been enjoying first.

As for the parking, they are going to start charging from 1st November. First 15 minutes is free.

Body shop is having their member’s day today, 25% off store wide and they have RM25 for certain items.

Have fun!

Have you ever just leave your kids in the house while you rush out to do some quick chores? What I mean by kids here are those that below 12 years old. What I mean quick is at least 15 minutes.

I know it is really a dump thing to do, but I happen to know parents that did that before, and even for hours! Plenty of food were left on the table so that the kids always have enough things to eat and all gas stove are close / lock.

Still, It think it is unsafe to do so, even for 15 minutes. Just what if something happened while you are away, right? There are incidents that kids got burned to death 'cos they were being lock in the house.

Now a days even when your kids are out with friends, you got worried on the where about are they. How nice of TracFone that are able to track the where about the phone holder is. Take a look at this video:

Tracfone makes it easy… by LittleBard95

You can also let your parents use the phone as they have offer for Senior Value. You can choose the monthly plan with 200 minutes for under US$30 or US$9.99 for 50 minutes. This way you can also control the usage say if you are giving it to your kids.

This is actually a great offer for those of you who are in the States. You can also get to call over 60 international call without extra cost. The great thing about it is there is no contract, no activation charge or cancellation fees.

Really a good way to save and be safe. But please, don't ever let your child stay at home without supervision.

I don't have a German Shepherd. We do have a Belgian Shepherd, but it lives with my mom and it was given by a friend, yes, given, not sold. It is long and lean, all black, very naughty and scared the kids normally. Still he enjoy a bit of love and care.

What I do have is a normal breed with brown spots. We call him Yo-yoou. He is no longer cute, but fully grown now. I do sometimes gave him dog food from package, but most of the time I gave him rice and soft bones. He looks healthy and active.

There is no Vet nearby our house. So getting him to the Vet is a major chores. Why? Because he get car sick whenever there is a long journey! He throw up in our cars before! And it stink! Thank God that he was just car-sick instead of any infection.

Now, for those of you who are near to a local Vet, you are lucky!

As for those of you who are concern about the health of your pup, check out Hill's Pet Nutrition. Get to know more about pet nutrition and the importance of it. Now that if you register with them, you'll get Hill's Healthy Mobility Coupon, once you register, automatically you are entered to a sweepstake where 30 winners will win a year of pet food for free!

Oh, did I mentioned that Hill's Pet Nutrition on Facebook too!? How convenient is that!?

I'm sure you don't want to worry about your pup if it is sick or lack of nutrition. I'm sure you wanted a healthy pup, right? A healthy pup means an active dog which will definitely welcome you home and one that bark on strangers, ha!

Now what I'm concern about Yo-yoou is how to train him for not chewing on disposable diaper! Thanks to the nursery nearby who didn't dispose of their diapers properly! He also loves to chew on shoes! So we had to get him securely stay at home inside the gate. Somehow he finds the way out most of the time and now we had to chain him while we were reversing the car and then release him when he's safely in the house compound.

Any idea in how to train a dog for stop chewing on unnecessary things?

It doesn’t matter what situation, she always encourage me to buy investment fund. If it is during low time, she said is good to invest and wait for the market to go up then only to sell them off. There is always no high or peak time for her, so any time is a good time to buy.

Not sure about her view on getting out to do business. Would she said anytime is a good time to start a business by myself.

First off, starting a business would mean investing a lump sum of money into whatever that I wanted to do, sell or manage. That would be getting business loan. If it it a multi-level marketing, it is a different story. Normally MLM only needed to invest a small amount of money, which mostly not more than one thousand.

For small business, it is good to get the bank guarantee and start off with a bit of loan to show that your financial background is strong enough to hold bigger investment.

Sometimes, thinking too much on the start up might hold one back in getting starting with their own business. Sometimes, a leap of faith is needed. Or the gut feelings should be there to get it started, rather than holding on to worries, holding on to the norm and let the opportunity slip by.

I myself would need lots of faith in getting started with my own business. Probably what I need now is to start small, or what I call the market survey and customer needs. Probably like my friend said, fund investments is still the best choice now. No matter what investment you are talking about, certain risk is needed for any investment opportunities.

Those are definitely my dream time that wishing I was born in the States or work in the States, or even married to a US residence! Too much of a dreamer I suppose. Well, no harm with a bit of day dreaming, right?
