We are on wireless

Friday, October 30, 2009 by Angeleyes

A couple of months back our old faithful router finally gave way and retired after serving us for more than 6 years. Hubby was a little sad but we can't keep technology stuff forever so he finally have to get a new router. The new one was not as good (according to the sales rep) as compared the old one as it was more reliable. Well, there's nothing we could do as all new gadgets are made in Taiwan these days...

The only positive thing about the new router is, IT IS WIRELESS! Yeah, finally we can surf any where within the house and we can cut down the amount of cables and cable ties! The PC areas are neater now but since we have lots of other gadgets, we still can't run away with mess!

Some shopping in KL

by Angeleyes

We'll be on our way to Ipoh later and to KL tomorrow. This time we will only be spending 2 weeks in KL as hubby is going away for a another biz trip to Brazil. He'll then come and pick us up.

Two weeks in not short or long enough if I wanted to go shopping as I could only do that during the weekends since I can't drive to all the malls myself. I don't intend to shop a lot this time round as I am starting to have difficulties walking for long hours. Will just get some of the listed essentials which I'll be needing when I delivered Lil' Bun.

I have been looking for a pair of shoes and can't decide which brand to buy. I just heard from a friend that there's a new site she found selling Naot shoes and she can get them without any sale tax. I really need another pair of comfort shoes since I only have one pair which the color I'm not too happy with.

Got to control now

Friday, October 23, 2009 by Angeleyes

When I was at the ob/gyn clinic this afternoon, I asked him about the weight of my little baby. He told me it is hard to estimate now as it is too soon to tell. He told me in the next two months, baby will grow very rapidly and he could probably estimate better when I am nearer to my delivery date.

Since I can't know baby's weight now, I do not know if all those weight that I've gained in the past few months actually went to me or the baby? As I can't take any appetite suppressant now, I am having a hard time controlling my appetite! Don't know why I kept having cravings even though I am already at the late stage of my pregnancy. I better take some control before I put on too much weight else I'll be having a hard time shedding them off later!

Only 2 months to Christmas!

by Angeleyes

When we were in Perth, some of the shopping malls have already started selling Christmas ornaments and decorated with Christmas decoration even though it was just late September! Normally, Christmas decoration won't be up till end of October since Halloween is at the end of October.

Since I am no longer in the corporate world, I don't receive any corporate holiday cards any more. Therefore, I don't really know how early people will start sending these seasons greetings. Last time, I used to received in early December but now with all those e-cards, probably some will send earlier or even the very last minute!

Can't wait for Christmas though!

Luckily only 1 kg!

by Angeleyes

This month onwards, I’ll have to start visiting my ob/gyn once every three weeks as I am already 7 months preggy. So, today is my 2nd visit for the month. It is always nice to take a peek ‘inside’ and see what Lil’ Bun is up to and how much she has grow.

My ob/gyn is the no-nonsense type and he don’t waste time talking unnecessary stuff as he has a train long Q waiting for him outside everyday. My visits usually takes less than 5 minutes which normally include a scan. His charges is quite reasonable and is about 50% cheaper than my ob/gyn in KL. Unfortunately I still have to waste that amount when I go and see my ob/gyn in KL just so he knows I will be delivering there.

From my scan today, we finally found out Lil’ Bun’s position. She has already turned downward and not in a ‘breech’ position as I suspected earlier. Which is a real relief.
We can see that she has grown so much that the space inside is getting really small… she looked as if she is being bundled up like a ball! :P

And today I found out I had added ONLY 1kg since my last visit! Wooohooo! Though I have been pigging out like nobody business the past few weeks! Probably I have been eating more healthy food like cereal and bread as compared to just noodles or nasi lemak! How am I going to burn belly fat after delivery will be another headache I don’t intend to think about just yet!

Missed Perth Mint

Tuesday, October 20, 2009 by Angeleyes

I still do not have much time to write about our recent Perth trip as I was so tied up with settling my boy in his kindy. Though I should have done this earlier but I am just glad everything is turning out fine and he has stopped crying this week, which is week three now. I'm so proud of his little achievement.

When we were in Perth, we went to quite a number of places which I have not been to though I have lived there for almost two years before. Initially my aunt has suggested we go and visit Perth Mint where we can get to see some rare silver coins but due to time constraint and the rain, we have to cancel our trip. Instead, we went for a free ride around the city on one of the free CAT buses since my boy wanted to sleep.

As it was raining intermittently, we have not choice but to find sheltered places to avoid getting wet so a lot of outdoor plans have to be scrapped. Ended up we only managed to visit Bell Tower and walk along Hay Street briefly.

Getting a MBA online

Wednesday, October 7, 2009 by Angeleyes

Just a few days ago my brother had the sudden thought about getting a MBA. It was really out of the blue kinda thing as his working hours are pretty long. I wonder where can he spare the time to do it? Now that his wife is busy building up her career and they have a young child to mind. But life is tough these days unless you continue to upgrade so you won't be left behind.

Nevertheless, I told him about some of those accredited universities that offer quality Masters degrees online and he should spend some time checking them out. Since I've just read about Gonzaga University which is ranked number 3 in the West by US News and World Report, I told him to check it out.

Gonzaga University was ranked as one of best value among private universities by Kiplingers Personal Finance. Actually, there are very few top ranked schools which are offering online programs as many thought that online degrees lack the authenticity.
