Katie, the lady who replaces me in the fileroom, is on her second cruise of her life time. She and her ex-boyfriend, Tom, are now into caribbean cruises every winter. Yeah, it weird, they are not a couple anymore, but they are very good friends and travel companions. Their last cruise was to the Eastern part of the Caribbean. This cruise is to the Western side where they will pay a visit to Jamaica, Cancun, Costa Maya, Belize and Guatemala. They pick a 14-night itinerary for all these places, which I think there are some additional places they are going, but I can’t recall where. I am still waiting for my first cruise….

Db’s B’day & X’mas gift
Comments Off
I am still debating if should get a tool storage for DB’s birthday cum Christmas present. He wanted a storage for all his tools for the longest I know. I wanted to get one last year but could not afford it. This year, will be the same, but maybe if I have enough saved up, I can get one cheap one for him. His tools are driving me up the wall and I think what is worse is how comes to me and ask if I have seen this or that tool.
Disposal products

Casey, my friend at work brought her aunt to the seniors home couple of weeks ago. This home has nursing service which they needed for her aunt. It is really sad to see a lady in her 60s who used to be so independent but now so dependent on others. She suffered from a stroke a few months ago and now she needs incontinence products for her daily life. They are disposal and easy to purchase. Casey told me she felt sad and uneasy buying these products for her aunt.
6th day in Ipoh

We made it!! The heat and DB getting sick. He is doing better for now. As usual we are now at IMAX. Those folks here recognized us and knows which PC we want – #53 and 54.
Since I bought the new camera, I have been clicking away – anything under the roof, sun, just whatever. Yesterday, Dad came in and asked if I can take pictures of the fixed up hole where the car hit the side of the garden. I said not a problem. He was so happy about it coz I told him once we take the pictures, we can take it to Chan Sam Lock, the photo shop in Ipoh Garden and get it develop for him.
I took the pictures and then dad said we should get our bus tickets to KLIA for December 1. We wanted to take the cab, but mom said it’s cheaper to take the bus. Moreover, the taxi drivers who used to be DB’s drivers were no more in sight. Dad took us to the bus company call YoYo in Bercham. We wanted to pay by VISA, but dad paid for it. We can’t they will charge additional 2.5% for that purchase for paying with VISA. Tickets to KLIA for December 1 bought, now we need to shop more to fill up our luggages. They are so empty and the things I got from my mom are breakable. I still need to go to Jaya Jusco to buy a bolster – that will help with some of the packing. OK, the bolster is not for me – it’s for a friend.
Time to hit the other networks and make some extra cash now. Though I say I’m enjoying myself, deep down I’m still very worry about our financial situation….sigh…..guess I should worry about it when we get home, huh?
Till then, TTFN.

New lightings from Farreys
Comments Off
Madeline and I were shopping for lighting’s for her house two months ago. Her hubby and her are thinking of replacing all the current lighting since they were as old as 20 years old. In other words, they were the ones when the house was built. We went to Macy’s and we decided we should check out several lighting products from Farreys.com. Both Madeline and her hubby are online shoppers, that was the reason I mentioned it.
Since her daughter is in her teens, she is looking towards a more contemporary style lighting. She and I were not into contemporary ones, but because the daughter is the star in her daddy’s books, she had to pick those for her. We looked at George Kovacs lampsfor her bedroom. When Madeline asked her daughter which ones she like, she said she prefers the Boring collection. Guess, the mom had to comply to her daughter’s wishes! The Boring collection is actually not bad at all. The name of the series sounded funny, but the accent lights and wall mounted sconce lighting are extremely well handcrafted.
Now for her the dining room, we looked at Murray Feiss lighting. I told Madeline I especially like the Alhambra Crystal Collection, the 8 Light The Alhambra Crystal Uplight Chandelier. For the entry way and living room lighting, she picked the Aurora Sunset Collection, and some Hinkely light fixtures for their bedroom and some for the rooms in the house like her two offices, and bathrooms.
I am now waiting for their annual Christmas party to see these new lighting in their house. It will be a perfect time to get them in.
