My buddies have been urging me to get a pet dog. Since I love buying pink apparel and accessories for their doggies as unique gifts, I might as well get myself one.

As usual, I have to say no. I am still loaded with about $40,000 credit card debts. I had better spend more time building a few more niche blogs and stores to make money online than rearing a pet.

Besides, having a pet means there are more household chores like cleaning and washing carpets, sofa covers, area rugs and outdoor furniture covers to do.

Funky styles are all the rage these days. And if you are a funky mom or dad, you probably want to make sure your baby is always dressed in the latest funky fashions too. They are also great baby gifts to be given to new babies!

The right funky baby clothes also include great accessories. Layering items such as tights, knee socks, and tank tops can take your baby through the seasons. And don’t forget cool funky hats, shoes, slippers and rainboots that will complete your little one’s perfectly funky wardrobe!

I have already spread the news around that hubby and I are moving back to Ipoh and thus leaving Cameron Highlands next month.

Kids’ parents are kind of surprised because they didn’t expect we would leave Cameron Highlands. After all, we have been here for more than 5 years now.

I am thinking of throwing a farewell party at home since my birthday is a few days before Christmas. It’s great celebrating my farewell, birthday and Christmas at a go, isn’t it ? (more…)

I went hanging around at JustMyTots’ blog and saw her post of Fortune Telling. It interests me as I used to believe in feng shui and fortune telling. Please note that: I USED to !

There was once my hubby and I were fanatic about placing all the fortune gadgets and accessories in our house. We wanted to activate our luck, wealth, health, marriage…

We did spend a lot of money on those feng shui items which we thought would bring us abundant wealth. Yes, we were already in debts that time and still bought those lucky gadgets using credit cards.

Now, they are left sitting in the house accumulating dust ! Sometimes, I wonder why we were so crazy at that time about feng shui ! My hubby tried to come out with the figure we spent on feng shui accessories. Gosh ! More than $5,000 ! I can name a few items here.

A dragon tortoise which is meant to bring wealth - $300

A laughing Buddha (as big as a 9-year-old kid) which is also for wealth - $250

A set of Fuk, Luk, Sau for wealth, health and luck- $120

A painting of 100 cranes which brings longevity ,including the frame - $400

A painting of both my hubby and my Chinese name, including frame - $50

Numerous windchimes which cost more than $30 each.

Statues of Kuang Kong, Laughing Buddha, Kung Yin and many other mini and large feng shui items…Wait ! Feng shui necklaces, bracelets, pendants, rings which are made of crystal,dzi beads,gold,silver…

Not only wasting money, I now have to do the dusting and cleaning ! Ridiculous !

Do I still believe in feng shui ? Well, I have abandoned it since I came to know the power of subconscious mind. If you keep telling yourself you are healthy and wealthy, you will attract more opportunities and monetary gains.

Tell me if it sounds logical to you. A fortune teller tells you that you will have luck this month. Naturally, your mind is focused on this message and all day long you will tell yourself and even family members that you will be lucky this month.

On the contrary, if the fortune teller tells you that you will be in bad fortune this month. Well, you mind will be geared towards this message all the time. When you keep thinking of this bad luck, you will attract bad incidents and luck.

So, have you had your fortune told before? This is your question, JustMyTots…;D My answer is YES ! A few times !

The most unforgettable one is the one that told me I may hit 4-digit-lottery before Chinese New Year. He told me to pay attention to digit which ends with 8.

On the way to Johor, we stopped by Kuala Lumpur and called my friend to buy 4-digit for us. We bought a friend’s new car number 8272. $10 B,$10 S. We had forgotten this fortune teller ’s advice.The next day….2728 !! Second prize !! We missed it and we truly *hit our hearts*…;D

On hindsight, I remember this fortune teller asked me when I had this small black dot on my palm. I said I was not sure. I now understand why he asked me and looked a bit concern. My guess is that I had this luck of striking the lottery but there was a block and the fortune was not meant to be for me. I believe the fortune teller didn’t dare to tell me.
