Christmas is over and sometimes I wish it had been here longer. Time flies so fast and before you know it, it is the end of the year again and time to usher in the new year of 2010. I have opened my Christmas gift and it is 2 bottles of perfume from my youngest sister. I gave her ‘ang pow’ or red packet of money instead. Some of you might open up your Christmas presents to find personal gifts like Sexy Dresses, make-up, jewellery, shoes or just about anything that you can buy from the retail stores.
And last night, my sister treated us dinner at a German Restaurant in Tanjung Bungah and the place was always packed with diners. Some who did not make any bookings were turned away. Or they had to sit at the bar with high stools and dine there. The boss is the cook himself – which explains why the food is so delicious. And it is time for me to take a break from eating too much and putting on weight this season.
Last year, I bought a pair of titanium spectacles and it is ultra light – I don’t feel like I am wearing the specs at all and don’t feel any weight on my nose bridge. This is my second pair of titanium spectacles and I loved it. The price was about $1,500 but with further discounts, it came to about $1,300 with transition lens – those that will turn dark to sunglasses whenever I am under the sun light. So it can double up as a pair of sunglasses as well, saving me money from buying powered sunglasses and changing each time I drive out. You can check out the link above as it has a large repertoire of selection to suit any age groups and needs. I am sure my glasses with titanium frame will last me for a very long time as long as I take care of it. Moreover, the frames are very strong, unlike my first pair of titanium frames which was very fragile and broke when I accidentally slept on it.
There is also $100 discount coupon, a further savings for you if you visit the link above. I love discounts and always shop around whenever there are sales and discount coupons. I am more willing to spend if I hear of sales and discounts anywhere. And Christmas is just round the corner. Time for a little splurging.

Monsters vs. Aliens is a 2009 computer-animated 3-D feature film from DreamWorks Animation and Paramount Pictures. The movie was the first computer animated movie to be directly produced in a stereoscopic 3-D format instead of being converted into 3-D after completion, which added $15 million to the film’s budget.
Susan Murphy (Reese Witherspoon) is hit by a meteor on the day of her wedding to weatherman Derek Dietl (Paul Rudd), absorbing a substance called quantonium and growing into a giantess. Alerted to the meteor crash, the military arrive and capture Susan. She is labeled a monster, renamed “Ginormica” by the government, and sent to a top-secret prison facility headed by General W.R. Monger (Kiefer Sutherland) and containing other monsters: B.O.B. (Seth Rogen), a brainless, indestructible gelatinous blob; Dr. Cockroach, Ph.D. (Hugh Laurie), a mad scientist with the head and abilities of a cockroach; the Missing Link (Will Arnett), an amphibious fish-ape hybrid; and Insectosaurus, a colossal grub that is even larger than Susan. The monsters are forbidden to have any contact with the outside world; while the other monsters have been living contentedly with this lifestyle for the past 50 years, Susan feels incredibly isolated and wishes to return to her old life.
An alien named Gallaxhar (Rainn Wilson) detects the quantonium radiation emanating from Earth and deploys a gigantic robotic probe to find it and extract it from its source, Susan. After a botched attempt by the President of the United States (Stephen Colbert) to make first contact with the robot, it begins destroying everything in sight, resisting all conventional military force used against it. General Monger convinces the President to use the monsters to fight the robot instead. The monsters accept the mission with the promise of freedom if they succeed. Arriving in San Francisco, Susan is chased by the robot across the city to the Golden Gate Bridge, where the monsters are able to defeat the robot.
Now free, Susan returns to her hometown and introduces her family and friends to the monsters, who are quickly rejected after innocently causing a panicked ruckus in the neighborhood. Derek, meanwhile, breaks up with Susan, claiming that he can’t be married to someone who could overshadow his career. Initially devastated, Susan realizes that becoming a monster has improved her life, and fully embraces her new friends and lifestyle. Suddenly, she is abducted by Gallaxhar, who apparently kills Insectosaurus when he tries to save her. On Gallaxhar’s ship, Susan breaks loose and chases Gallaxhar down, only to enter a machine that extracts the quantonium from her body, shrinking her to her normal size. Gallaxhar proceeds to use the quantonium to power a machine which clones him into an army so he can invade Earth.
With assistance from General Monger, B.O.B., Dr. Cockroach, and the Missing Link infiltrate Gallaxhar’s ship, rescue Susan, and hot-wire the ship’s power core, activating the ship’s self-destruct sequence. Susan, however, is cut off from her friends, who are trapped in the power core and tell her to save herself. Instead, Susan confronts Gallaxhar, who tries to escape with the quantonium, and attempts to force him into releasing her friends. When Gallaxhar says he cannot reverse the sequence, Susan takes the quantonium back and absorbs it, restoring her to her gargantuan size and allowing her to save her friends. The monsters leap out of the exploding ship and are rescued by General Monger on the back of the revived Insectosaurus, who had sealed his body in a cocoon and transformed into a giant butterfly.
The monsters receive a hero’s welcome upon their return. Derek attempts to get back with Susan for the sake of interviewing her, which could benefit his career; instead, Susan rejects him and forces him to endure the humiliation of being thrown into the air and caught, swallowed and spit out by B.O.B. on camera. At that moment, the monsters are alerted to a monster attack near Paris and fly off to combat the new menace.

A check in eBay shows that your old used Malaya stamps can fetch about RM5 each. I have many Malaya stamps handed down from my dad. I have thousands of stamps from Singapore, USA, Australia, Czechoslovakia, China, India, South Africa, New Zealand, etc. I have about 12 big albums of stamps that I wish to get rid off. So if any of you who are die hard stamp collectors or stamp traders, drop me an email at diana.tan(AT)gmail.com to discuss further for the best offer. In my school days, I even used to buy stamps up to RM1 each as my pocket money allows. My dad has bought me stamps from Europe during his tour there in the 1970s. That explains my wide repertoire of used and new stamps plus first day covers in my entire collection. Though I could list my stamps for free in eBay Malaysia, but it is just too much trouble to take photos, touch them up and upload them for listing in eBay and to post them in the post office. I rather take a lump sum selling my entire collection or per stamp album basis which is much easier. So if you are looking to buy up my stamp collection, do drop me an email. I can give you a very good offer because I need to clear up the space and convert them to cash where I can store in the bank. You can be assured of value for money at bargain down prices. There are also stamps with errors in them that can fetch even better prices that I can point out.
It is that time of the year again for season’s greetings with snow flakes, christmas trees, santa claus and presents. If you have got a wish, tell it to Santa who might just grant you your wish this year. And you can remember this special occasion of Christmas time by using CEIVA Digital Photo Frame and have your photos uploaded online and see the amazing digital photo frame encapsulate your beautiful photos for posterity and down memory lane. What makes CEIVA different than other digital photo frames is that it is uniquely designed and offers faster upload. You can also share the picture with your friends and families for that personal touch and greetings.
Digital photos frames save you space from buying physical frames to be used on the table or cabinet. All you need to do is just turn on your computer, and view your images that are frames in digital photo frames for a complete look and for your photo album. They promise to last a lifetime, will not fade over time and can be view over and over again. This reminds me to go for some Christmas shopping but on a smaller scale. It is a time to remember Jesus who came as a baby in a manger two thousand years ago to save mankind from eternal sin. This is a time to share the good news to everyone so that they can have Jesus as their personal Lord and Saviour.
Travelling can be boring sitting in the same seat for long hours without much movement. Some people have been known to suffer jet lag or muscle stiffness travelling in a plane for long hours with limited space for the legs. In budget airlines, the space can be very limited leaving hardly any area for the legs to move and get the blood flow running smoothly. Even in the car, you need to stretch your legs now and then and make pit stops to the washrooms. You cannot afford to be travelling and driving for 8 hours straight without stopping for a rest for at least half an hour.
That’s why it is good to use a Cabin Cuddler to make your travel more comfortable. Look at it as using a miniature bolster when you go to sleep. It makes the travelling much more relaxing, cozy and snazzy. You can also use a travel blanket in tandem with the cabin cuddler. Most airlines will provide you with a blanket for long haul trips. My youngest sister travels now and then for business, paid for by her company to USA, China and Japan to visit clients and attend to their complaints. It is not easy travelling long distances on board the air craft for long hours without any form of comfort such as blankets for warmth and cabin cuddler to snuggle with.
I work for a company that deals with sports surfaces like installing tennis courts, futsal courts, basketball courts, netball courts, multipurpose courts and even children’s playground. We get enquiries from our company web site which can be found by Google Search Engine that is maintained by me. Because of the nature of our business, we need to find children’s playground equipment suppliers like manfred mantis playsets for a variety of products for our clients.
Our company mainly specialises in sports surface courts installation using black SBR rubber chips, synthetic turf and our own PU Membrane Fibre Reinforced Seamless system rubberized floor. Besides the web site, we also do calendar marketing or postage marketing sending out to various company and clients. Two years ago, we sent out to about 1,000 people all over Malaysia and last year, we cut down to about 500 postages. Our company has been quite successful in getting small projects from the public every month for our 10 workers to keep busy and to feed their families. They have work almost every day as they are paid daily wages.
I joined Herbalife, a multi-level marketing (MLM) or direct selling program just 3 days ago. It was so convenient. I paid by internet banking to my upline’s Maybank account and the next morning, it was delivered right to my door step by Skynet from Kuala Lumpur. Above are the items I have received from Herbalife. And I was introduced this by my upline who is also my Yahoo Messenger online chat friend based in KL. He has been doing this business for 3 years now since they started in Malaysia and have even gotten RM10,000 check in commissions from his 30 downlines.
I am happy I have made the right choice to reduce weight. As you can see, I love food too much and it is about time I need to reduce my weight for an optimum BMI (Body Mass Index). From the BMI chart, I am considered overweight but thank goodness not obese. So I bought Formula 1 nutritional shake of french vanilla flavor to replace my daily meals. Just 2 scoops with 250ml of water to replace my lunch and dinner. As of today, I have already lost 0.5kg after 2 days of drinking the vanilla shake. And it is delicious and not sweet at all. I have previously joined other MLM companies, all to no avail like Perfect Youth and Lampe Berger which cost a whopping RM30,000 just to be a count. I only paid RM98 for the business pack with distributor license and form. And another RM79.23, after 50% discount at cost price from my upline at a supervisor level, for the Formula 1 nutritional shake. For more details, check out here and see the pictures of consumers with slim sexy bodies from an otherwise obese body. By the way, F1 nutritional shake mix is the bestseller product of the company to help people reduce weight.
Herbalife was founded in 1980, a company that sells weight-loss, nutrition and skin-care products by multi-level marketing, also known as network marketing. In February 1980, Mark Hughes began selling the original Herbalife weight loss product from the trunk of his car. Mark started Herbalife with the help of physicians including a Nobel peace price winner for medicine after much research for the supplements. Herbalife started when Mark Hughes saw his own mother died at the young age of 36 due to efforts trying to lose weight from unworkable and sub-quality weight loss programs. The company now has grown by leaps and bounds, spread in 60 countries with multi-billion dollar profit. If you like to lose weight while earning money at the same time, drop me an email at diana [dot] tan [at] gmail [dot] com.
