Car DVD Players

car-radioI love listening to music. Anywhere I go, whatever I do, I would always love it when there’s music in the backyard. I love listening to music when in the car as well. Sometimes, when we drive (hubby drives and i just sit), hubby and I would just keep quite and listen to music. We both love it light and easy music. And it helps to have a good car dvd player.

Where to get a good car dvd player, you may ask. I actually bumped into shopwiki.com. They offer you different types of car dvd players. They would also show which shop sells what. For example, you want to get a specific brand and specific type like Sony Cassette receiver. You just type it on and voila! Shopwiki.com will show you which shop you can get it from. They show the prices as well. So even before checking out the shop, you already know how much it would cost.

While you’re at it, you might wanna check their car audio and video directory or even GPS devices like the Magellan Maestro. They have just about any gadget you can think of having.

Double Planting and Overlapping Crops in Farm Town

For those who are Farm Town addict at Facebook, I just discovered something that could get you quick money. I am probably the last one to know, I want to share it anyway. They said you can quicken your coin earnings by doing a double planting and overlapping of crops. I googled about how to do it and here’s what I got:

To do it, stand in an area near where you have some empty space. Pick up your plow and hover it over the empty space. Right click, ignoring the menu that pops up, then bring your mouse over to where you would like to place your field (bit of guesswork involved here, as you don’t get the “shadow” to guide you). Then left click to plonk your field down. Takes a little practice until you get the hang of it, but once you do, it’s quite easy.

I believe this technique doesn’t work on Macs or using Firefox.

I haven’t tried this yet because I am using firefox, but will try later using internet explorer… when I have time.

Sling Box

It’s amazing. The high technology nowadays, that is. My husband just got an iPhone from a friend as a gift. And it really amazed me that he could get online anywhere he is. Not that I only knew about it now. I knew it even before. It’s different when you have it yourself though.  So with an i-Phone, you can get online, store a lot of files, listen to music, watch a movie like that of a Slingbox, get an organizer, etc. Amazing, isn’t it? And hubby got that for free. A blessing indeed!

Anne of Green Gables

I have a series of Anne of Green Gables cd’s with me. I think I have 12 of them. I took this quiz from facebook:  What character from a children’s Classic Bookare you? Answer: Anne.

Anne from Anne of Green Gables: You love to talk. You have a sunny, outgoing personality and many friends. You feel emotions very deeply. You make lifelong friends. You might think now that you can’t stand a certain someone, but you will probably marry them some day. You love poetry. You are proud to be from Canada (or at least have been to Canada at some point).

Not sure how I ended up having that result. I am not chatty. I’m only chatty when I blog. LOL. And I haven’t been to Canada. Although I would love to go there now while they are filming the New Moon. Hehehe.

2 More Months

Yes. It’s 2 more months and we’re out of here. To where, I am not sure yet. Hubby seems so confident that we could find a house right before we move out. Or probably we’re hoping that the owners would continue to rent this house out to us. They are actually planning on buying a new house, a corner house this time because his mom is going to live with them. Apparently, his mom is too old to climb up and down the stairs so they’re thinking of buying a corner house so they could make an extension to accommodate her room. It would be very easy for them to do it since they have the money to do it.  They’d been in Holland for a managerial job posting. So I believe they can afford to buy a new house (and probably if they want, they can afford to do aluminum fence installation as well.

Now what hubby is doing is scouting for an available corner house in USJ 18. There were a few houses we saw but some of them were already sold out. I wonder why they keep the sign board there though. I hope that they (our houseowners) would consider one of those we saw. That way, we don’t have to move out.

Need a Fast Solution

I am desperately needing a fast solution to lose weight. I have 5 more days to do so. I just came back from a good holiday. When I say good holiday, it actually includes good eating out and dining in too. So there. Now I think I need some of those cheap fat burners. I wonder how they work though. Do you just pop it in and it melts the fats away? Does anybody try this before? Is it really effective? Perhaps it is effective… otherwise they won’t be selling in the market like hot pancakes.

Today is Good Friday

Malaysia generally don’t observe Good Friday… let alone Holy Week. But I am sure Christians all over Malaysia are obsrving this special day when Jesus died on the cross to redeem God’s people.

There are different kinds of celebration for Good Friday. Others would re-enact the day Jesus was hanged on the cross. Others would be in silence. Others would wait until Easter Sunday to celebrate

But I cannot help it. I can’t stand the silence. I am rejoicing. I am in worship. I worship Him for who He is. I worship Him for His love and grace and mercy.

And I also pray…  constantly that He change my heart. I want my heart to be right before God. I want to be worthy of Jesus’ death of His resurrection… of His existence. I pray He gets the worship and the glory He deserves.

What is your prayer today?

Marketing Strategy

I don’t know if it is just in Malaysia or everywhere else but businesses here nowadays usually ask customers to become members of their companies. When you register you then get your membership cards along with customers’ benefits  of having discounts.

Let me think how many membership cards we have now:

1. Toys ‘R Us

2. MPH Bookclub

3. Nando’s Restaurant (yeah my family is a member of this restaurant)

4. Body Shop

5. Parkson’s

And a few more I can’t remember.

What about you? Have any memberships lately?

Bella’s Lullaby

I know I know… but I just love this music. So intense. So deep. Bella’s Lullaby by Robert Pattinson himself. I didn’t know that Rob is also a musician. He did this music, two actually… which are both included in the Twilight soundtrack.

You can tell I love classical music. I get really introspective when I listen to this kind of music. It does set my mood.

I am adding Claude Debussy’s Clair de Lune also. It’s included in the Twilight soundtrack.

I’m supposed to post this in my main blog. But since hubby keeps track of that blog and since he said I had too much of Twilight in my system already, I posted all these here. Hehehe. And hope he doesn’t stumble accidentally here. LOL. Peace, Love.
