What is wrong with it this time?

For the umpth time, I am having problem with my CPU! AGAIN! I have lost count the time my CPU falling sick!

I was online booking my flight with Air Asia and want to print out the itinerary. Then I remember I need to install the printer as it was not connect to the CPU. But I couldn’t connect to the printer as the printer itself is uninstalled! Brother! I couldn’t find the CD for the printer so in the end I did not print out my itinerary.

I switched it off and then I remember that I need to check an important email. So, you know the rest of the story. A message just popped out and it said something like this “Your computer cannot restart as the following file is missing or corrupt: system32\config\system”.

As I mentioned in my earlier post, I don’t find the computer dealer helpful and it takes them ages to have one problem solved. And I definitely not look forward to send my CPU back to them! Sigh!

I was chatting with Jen using Window Live Messenger and pour out my "grievances" to her. She advised me that the hard disk is probably unstable and need re-formatting. Meaning that it has to go back to the dealer! Oh no! I am betting how long this time round would the dealer takes his sweet times to re-format it!

We know that it has some problem as recently when we watched DVD using the computer, half way through the movie, it will jam and we need to re-start the DVD. Probably it is really unstable and need some checking through again.

Whatever it is, the whole thing would not dampen my holiday mood. Worse come to worse, we just send to the dealer, and we still have our laptop to survive. Hope you guys had a better Friday than I did! Anyway, I enjoyed my Friday night last night, having a date with my girlfriend. We had a dinner then catch up with hubby and his friends for a few rounds of drinks so I overslept this morning. When was the last time I ever wake up this late in the morning?? *wink* Thank god little gal is at nanny's house, she stayed overnight there. Mummy need a break so little gal has to stay there to let mummy out once a while. LOL. Have a wonderful weekend and Happy Merdeka everyone! Merdeka! Merdeka! Merdeka!

Women's world: wardrobe and shopping

I have been throwing away many things over the past few days; loose papers and broken toys, and storing away my and little gal’s old clothing and items. Oh boy, I never realize that a bedroom of around 200 sq ft sure can store many things around.

My wardrobe is still a mess. Some old clothing that I cannot fit in have been discarded away or sealed in boxes just in case I want to wear it in future. After all those throwing and organizing, my wardrobe is still a mess. Maybe it is high time to stop buying new clothing? LOL! I don’t think I can resist new clothing but it is blessing in disguise as Mega Sales is almost coming to an end! I cannot rest my eyes on my credit card statement as I know I have overspent last month as well as this month.

Talking about wardrobe, I have never knew that my gal’s wardrobe is getting out of hand as well. It is not really a clothes cabinet. We used an office cabinet (from hubby’s old office) and turn it into her clothes cabinet. She has so many clothes and stuff that I told hubby we may need to consider getting her a new wardrobe. Blame on mummy who cannot resist buying new dresses and shoes for her during the Mega Sales. Don’t all mothers agree? Some more she is a girl who tend to be more pampered. She has a lot of hair accessories, bags, shoes and other accessories to go with her wardrobe. Life is too good for our children, they simply are spoiled and pampered, don’t you think? But they worth it.

My gal's clothes cabinet. It also stores her other stuff and feeding tools.

Now that she is older, little gal started to choose her own clothes. She only wears what she approves or chooses. Even when we go shopping, I need to ask her whether she likes that dress or not. If the answer is “no”, you couldn’t possibly force her to wear that dress if you buy it. She even want to look like her mummy, putting on nail polish, make up and comb her hair in front of the mirror. *faint*

Does your children bawl or scream when you don’t buy the things they want in shopping centre?? Thank god my gal hasn’t behaved like that and I do hope that she would not become a spoil brat too. I met a mother and her son in a department store the other night. The son wanted a toy and the mother kept saying “no”. And you know the rest of the story right? The whole store filled with his scream and cries. And the mother embarrassingly has to drag her son along as she hasn’t finish shopping. Hmm, what to do if you are in this situation? How to soothe a hard-headed child that only take "yes" for an answer?

Nice piece of accessories

I have problem sleeping last night. Maybe I slept too early, around 9pm and then woke up after 10pm. There it is! Gone is my sleep. I couldnt get back to sleep. Turning one side, I have to ensure snoring of hubby, and turning to the other side, little gal's snoring keeps me awake! I tried to read a book, hopefully it will help me go back to sleep, but to no avail. I think I only knock out around 1am, and then woke up again to feed little gal.

It is good that hubby volunteered to send little gal to baby sitter so I can take a quick nap in the morning! I slept till 1130am. Oh boy! Now I am much awake and couldnt take my afternoon nap. Plan to wash my filthy car this afternoon but luckily I didnt get down to it! It is raining outside. Maybe after this post, I will need to get down to my reading. I have been holding it for the last 2 days. Need to finish it before the holiday started.

After a light lunch, I was cleaning up the room and of course that include my dressing table. Organising my make up stuff and jewellery. Happen to stumble upon this nice earring, which I seldom (maybe I should say, forget to) wear. It is a gift from a friend from Australia. Thank you, FS for this DIY earring. FS made this pair of earrings by herself. Isn't it nice? I love the fish and colour; it goes well with my wardrobe.

Pitayas

I started reading my handbook an hour ago and guess what? My brain goes blank and eyes turn watering. LOL! The wordings are too small and my poor eyes! Already wearing contact lenses and I have to emphasize more on my eyes to read those small words. Alright everyone. This is going to be a short post (yeah, again! If you notice, I am lazy to write long posts lately). When I have nothing to write, I will just share some photographs with you.

Dragon fruit farm on the way to Jong's Crocodile Farm

Have you seen a dragon fruit plant before?? It looks like cactus plant, grow on sand and like other cactus, it does not need much water to survive.

Dragon fruit plant

The most common dragon fruit is the red-skinned fruit with white flesh. However the red-skinned fruit with red flesh is very rich in vitamins especially Vitamin C. Now they even have dragon fruit mooncake. You try any before?

Where is my fashion sense?

When were the last time you ask your man how you look in that nice black dress?? Or how that yellow top fit you?? If the outfit is too revealing, my hubby will directly said the outfit is not fit. Not that I am not fit, but the outfit does not fit me!!

When we dated back then, as my boyfriend, he did not mind me wearing revealing outfit. Guess the ego and show-off part are the reason. Immediately after we registered in 2004, the husband instinct comes in. He started to comment on my wardrobe. Initially I didn’t mind since he was into fashion line that time. I bought (and got free) most of my clothing from his boutique. You can said I am sashaying his clothing line along the way. I have to thank him because not him, I would not be adventurous and trying other colours like yellow, turquoise and purple. My wardrobe used to be full of blue, black and white only.

Of course, me having my own fashion style, we do get into some argument but nothing serious. Slowly, I accepting the fact that when I go shopping, I would not bring hubby along, because he starting to give non-constructive comments which I find it unreliable. I prefer to go shopping alone or with my friends who can give me an honest opinion! And guess what! I went to The Spring this afternoon with my friend (ex-colleague) for lunch and shopping. It was fun to have some window shopping with her. I bought a pair of office shirt and a new court shoe at Padini Concept Store. :)
