No second hand smoke for me

Posted by Penny | Sunday, November 29, 2009

I'm not one who advocate the smoking habit and anyone whom I come into contact with and who smokes, I feel pretty uncomfortable. I rarely choose to sit in sections of restaurants that approves smoking, so it's always got to be indoors. Reason being I think it's more harmful for us to inhale second hand smoke than those who are actually smoking!

So whenever friends ask if I can help to buy them duty free cigarettes whenever I happen to be at the airports, the answer is always a no. Not even when they tell me how great and distinguised some Dutch Master cigars are. To me, they are still weapons that can kill us a lot faster.

I've always hoped they take my no as a favour to their good health some day. They may live to thank me if they realise it. Or hate me if they don't.

Gonna shop for toys

Posted by Penny | Thursday, November 19, 2009

I'm helping my mum to shop for some toys for my little boy. She is traveling and wants to get a gift upon returning home. But where she is now, there aren't any suitable toys for kids, unless you think toy truck accessories are suitable. I think not.

I am happy to be shopping on behalf of anyone when it comes to having a reason to shop and buy nice stuff for my little one :) So by all means, get me to shop, shop, shop for just about anything for my boy. Whether it's toys, clothes, books, etc, I'm just as happy!

Shopping for weight control stuff

Posted by Penny | Monday, November 16, 2009

Someone asked me if I can recommend any weight control items out there in the market. The truth is, I don't know because I've never tried them. Although I would love to lose belly fats too, I don't really dare to try the products out there simply because there are side effects to these kinds of products.

So although my post-pregnancy tummy is still showing, I prefer to not do much about it because it is quite bearable for now. Until it becomes totally an eye-sore, I think I'll be quite happy to keep it the way it is.

But if you do have some recommendations you want to share, by all means. Just keep them safe!

Year end home furnishing sales

Posted by Penny | Wednesday, November 11, 2009

I noticed there are lots of people who choose year end to move houses. And what great timing too I have to say because a lot of sales and warehouse sales tend to happen around this time of the year too. So for those who are shopping for new furniture, lighting fixtures, home appliances, etc, this will be a good time to watch out for all those wonderful sales to pick up your stuff for much less.

Happy moving, my friends, and enjoy your new cosy homes! :)

Too much rich food

Posted by Penny | Sunday, November 01, 2009

Lately I've been consuming quite a lot of rich food. Not only that, I'm also snacking a lot on chocolates. And because of that, it might explain why I've put on some weight. I sure hope that I don't continue this way. I guess I just have to control my snacking if I can't avoid the rich foods. Otherwise I'd have to go for the best fat burner in town. And I don't really wish to...

So remind me if I keep snacking!

He who buys bikes

Posted by Penny | Thursday, October 22, 2009

I was lunching with a friend yesterday and she was saying how upset she was with her husband for buying not just 1 bike but 2! She really detests the fact that he loves riding bikes, obviously because of safety reasons. But she couldn't stop him from buying those big racing bikes anyway.

She has started to look more closely into their insurance policies since he bought those vehicles. I thought she was being dramatic and funny but she does take it very seriously. She's even contemplating hiring a San Jose motorcycle accident attorney! Hmm...I don't know if she really should take things too seriously.

After all I don't think the hubby is that bad a rider nor is it going to be such an extreme sport to ride the bike.
