Banana beauty balm

My face was very dry, sensitive the other day and I was running out of hydrating mask. How ah? I remembered looking at some home remedies for beauty from the net. I left it in my car. I went looking for it and found this piece of economical way of hydrating my face. So I just picked up some ingredients from the kitchen. Ingredients: ½ fresh banana 1 tablespoon fresh heavy whipping cream, lightly warmed 1 teaspoon honey, lightly warmed 1 drop German chamomile essential oil 1 tablespoon finely powdered oats (add more if product seems runny, less if it seems too thick) I substituted whipping cream with a tablespoon of my son’s milk powder *hehe*, I drop the essential oil, didn’t pound the oat. Add all the ingredients with a little bit of hot water, stir well and massage over skin/ face using gentle, sweeping motions. While waiting for it to dry before rinsing, I gobble up the remaining of the mixture for my supper while watching my favorite Chinese sitcom. *yummy* It was quite cool, cheap

Survivor of Dengue

It was in 1992/3. I could still recall how bad I felt when I was diagnosed with Dengue fever. I didn’t even realize it until I traveled to Miri staying with a college friend. I was already having on and off fever a week ago in west Malaysia. But didn’t really border thinking it was just a normal fever. But my conditions worsen after returning from Brunei. I had headache, bone, joint, muscle ached, nausea and vomiting. I felt cold and hot within minutes. Finally I was admitted to the Miri hospital. I was placed in the first bed right after the entrance. My face looked blurring and suffered according to my ex’s sister’s friend. The nurses took my blood for testing every morning and evening during my 4-day stayed before I was transferred back to KL. I had a tube poked into my hand. I drank lots of fluids and frequented the toilet. Doctors examined my body; I think I looked like a hurt and worried sick monkey. My friend’s mother was upset over the fogging and that their house got Aedes mos

Bullies

We attended a friend’s son one year-old birthday party recently. Most of hubby’s best friend, friends cum clients were around. As usual, there are lots of chit chatting, food munching and kids running around. BB was running around playing with his kakah and hubby asked bb to go over and say hello to one of this client friend that always gave him very super tight deadlines. Papa: BB, where is BB? BB point point to himself, and say yea… Papa: BB where is papa? BB pointed to papa and utter there… Papa: BB where is mama? BB pointed to me and say mama… Papa: BB where is handsome? BB point point to himself and say yea… And out of a sudden this wife of the client who is six and a half month pregnant asked: BB where is naughty? BB pointed to her husband whom is my hubby’s demanding client and say there… Hahaha…BB you are such a good boy, you help papa to bully back uncle M. Hubby patted bb happily.

Redeye

I was just thinking of selling my camera for a faster shutter speed one. Coz my Sony digital camera can’t capture picture well, it always flashes too long. By the time I snap, my son is gone and the picture will go blurry already. Sunday I went back to my mum’s place and found out that she has just bought a new digital camera, the slimmer and nicer one. Surprisingly, her camera also performs the same as mine. It has slow shutter speed as well. After checking with my husband and camera sales men we found a solution to stop the flash going twice. Simple, just go to set up and turn off the red eye reduction function and the double flash will be gone. Cool! It’s that simple. If there isn’t any of this function, look out for the flash icon with an eye symbol on the LCD screen and turn it off. But the disadvantage is that you will risk having red eye in the picture but it can be fixed easily using relevant software. I can enjoy my camera for now, no need to sell yet. *Grin*

Caress

Do you caress yourself to sleep? I remembered I did rub my palm against a smelly tiny pillow to sleep. But my son is different; he will use his left finger to caress his palm then roll down to his arm and repeat the same action using the other hand. I like watching his little fingers rolling up and down until he finally falls asleep.

Art for art sake

The other day, I saw a 5-yr old kid doodling on a book provided by his parents who were seated beside him on a dinning table. I was very curious of what he was drawing coz I like to see kid’s art for art sake’s expression, I think they are beautiful. So I went over and kepoh a bit la. On close observation, I saw him drawing steps and steps of stairs and some other geometrical objects. Inside my heart I was just thinking probably this little chap liked to climb stairs and got obsessed with it. I didn’t bother much la coz when I talked to him he didn’t answer me also la. After a few minutes, the kid was showing tantrum and crying in front of everyone. Puzzle?? The father asked: “What’s wrong?” Boy: “The steps are not equal; I don’t know how to draw them” Father: “aiyo, daddy help you draw, use the ruler la, and all must be equal size one, draw this one bigger, don’t make noise again.” So the little fellow drew using ruler measuring those steps one by one. Gosh!!! I can’t believe it. Chil
