Crazy For Corelle

Told yer.. i’m crazy about Corelle. If I can.. i would buy different sets every season.. and every year. Everytime i go to the mall.. i’ll pop in to see . .if they have anything new.. or on sale. Sometimes.. if you are looking out.. you can get them at really good prices. Are you like me..?? and love to buy dishes.. bowls.. and whatnots..??

I really .. really liked the Japanese style ones.. but they are so heavy.. so i didn’t get them. They remind me of my little time i had spent in Japan.. the lacquer bowls.. and tea cups.. and condiment bowls. For those who don’t know.. i really love all things japanese.. but japan is really a very expensive place to live or work in.

Hotel Food & Baby Shower

I was invited to a baby shower at a lawyer’s house one time.. and as soon as we went into his house.. and saw waiters and waitress with trays of food and drinks.. i knew we didn’t spend enough for the baby’s present.  I bet they had catered the food from a hotel.. and you know what.. i saw baby furniture as baby’s gift at the corner of the garden. Boy..!! some people are generous..!

Experiencing The Culture & Food

When one goes traveling to a new country, our anticipation is pretty high. Not only do we want to taste the local food there.. and soak in the different culture.. you bet we want to try out their fine restaurants too.  How many of you .. go for holidays armed with all the food and restaurants you must go to..?? I do..!  and i’m certainly not ashamed to say it.. ! food is definitely a priority .. when it comes to vacation.. but i hope you bought some travel health insurance too, for you never know when you need to see a doctor for food poisoning.  Of course, no one wished to be sick.. but it’s always good to be prepared. I sure learned my lesson.. and the expensive way.. when i had to pay for medical fees.. on my own.. and it was an insane charge..!

Prima Taste Laksa

For someone like me here in Canada.. but not anywheres near Vancouver or Toronto, a taste of home is really hard to come by. Besides a few blogger friends who had bought me and sent me quite a few .. my daughter’s godmother from Toronto would bring some for me.. when she comes for her holiday or when the man’s aunt is in Toronto, she too tries and get me some. During the aunt’s last trip .. they can’t find any .. for the store that used to carry them.. no longer did. It was a really sad day for me, although i told the Aunt that it was alright. But Prima Taste Laksa made me so happy.. i almost cried.. when i had the first taste of it. It was so easy to cook.. and it really tasted like the authentic katong laksa.

Making my laksa as authentic as possible.

Housewarming

Don’t you just love going for housewarming..??  when a co-worker or a friend or even family members buy a new house, we always get invited to their housewarming.  Actually it is a wonderful thing to be owning your own home or for those who are into investing in homes. I know so, because at 17 .. i connected my mother’s friend.. to a real estate agent who was also a friend then.. and we sold a house together.. and I earned my first 1K at 17 yrs of age.  20 something years ago.. 1K was alot of money then, it sure was an awesome feeling.  And when i saw what my mother’s friend was doing.. i cannot help but envy that he was far sighted and  into this business of cash for homes.

The turnover was so quick, because he had just bought that terrace house not too long ago.. i heard.. and sold it to my real estate friend’s client who was looking for a home in that area.  WeBuyHouse.com connects investors like my mother’s friend and the sellers who need cash for their properties or houses.  In this business for 9 years, they are reliable, efficient and absolutely professional.  For entrepreneurs, investors and even property companies looking for a way to connect and locate these properties for a quick sale and investment, WeBuyHouse.com  are the one who is able to connect you and the seller quickly and stress free.
