I was blog hopping the past few days and have been reading some bloggers’ post on this auspicious 888 meme. Being the ‘Cina kia’, anything that has to do with the number 8 is always luck, luck, luck… Coincidentally the 08.08.2008 falls on a Friday, the day of the week I love most and being the beginning of weekend… the day can never been better!
What can be more auspicious than holding my little bundle of joy on this very special day hearing his/her first cry??? Afterall I can’t get married on that day so that my Marriage certifiate will be imprinted with the special date. The next best is to have the date as the birth date to my #2. Yeap, we are on the planning stage but then again…. all these are God’s willing… I can only pray hard that The Almighty will grant me this little wish…. We’ve missed the golden piggy boat so we hope to get a little fatt-fatt-fatt mousie baby lor! *probably my gynae will be so busy that day coz everyone wanted to have their baby delivered!*
Before I lay down the rules, I will give mention to the taggers of this meme…. this mommy, mommy and this mommy have triple tagged me, so must guai-guai complete my home work…

I know it is kinda early to talk about retirement but no harm in doing a little day dreaming right? After all, in less than 20 years we will reach that age… and that’s not a very long time away so a little planning will go a long way.
Dreamy as I am, I always picture us living a tranquil life somewhere far away from here. We have always wanted to live our lives where every day seems to be a vacation. We wanted wanted something like what Branson Real Estate is offering… breathtaking backdrop of lush, wooded hills, lakes, panoramic sunrises, astonishing sunsets, and sound of the birds singing sweetly into our ears… This is the way life should be…

It has been a few days since I last mentioned about the Lil’ fella and time really flies… he is growing up so fast that he even started to speak like an adult now!
Sometimes I wonder where he learned all the words from since he don’t mix with other kids. He is with me 24/7 so guessed he must have learn it from me or PiggyBeng. He sure picked up very fast especially words that we never wanted him to know or learn but somehow he knew how to use these words! Kids…. they are so amazing!
Lately, he likes to use the word ‘neh’ when I asked him where is this or that. He will say it so naturally like he has been using that word for ages!
Scenario 1
Me: Where is the remote control?
Darrius: neh! *pointing to the remote control on the floor*
Scenario 2
Me: Where is daddy’s car keys?
Darrius: neh! *point to the bunch of keys on the sofa*
It is such a shame I do not have my camera to capture all these moments…. *sigh*

A little publicity goes a long way. The funny AhPek has been a very jolly good fella and I really enjoy reading some of his posts expecially those XXX rated ones! 
By the way, he is really good in coming out with very creative puisi (poems written in Malays) too!
A few months ago, he has been very kind to give some free links every Saturday to his readers so newbies like myself can ride on his popularity to get a few extra hits. Until a few weeks back, he decided to write a feature column at the top of his site instead of the regular Saturday free links which he has been giving.
However, the response has been luke warm and he has decided to stop the feature column. I think I was one of the lucky ones to be able to get a little limelight before the column is being taken down. Incidentally, RamblingMoo will be the last site to be featured. I’m not sure what is AhPek’s next intention but I do hope he will still do a little feature here and there for new bloggers… maybe on his sidebar every now and then.
Thanks you AhPek for the feature… though I know my sites have nothing that interesting to write or talk about…

PiggyBeng’s car suffered a hit and run a couple of months back. The dent was not very serious but it does scraped off some of the paint which might cause rust to build up over time.
He has been going around looking for some automotive detailing supplies shops which sell refinishing products so he can do the touching up himself. He is trying to get a Paintless Fix Dent repair kit which can be used to repair the small dents on the left side of his car’s bumber so we won’t need to waste money sending the car to the workshop.

This NOT a Sponsored post!
While kaypoh-ing on the Net the past few days (that’s why you don’t see me replying comments and blog hopping), I stumbled upon this very attractive Hosting + Domain offer. It’s a small business package Promo and for ONE year of hosting it’s priced at a fantastic yet unbelievable price of $10! And the package actually comes with Two (2) Domains for FREE! Yes! You hear me right!
250 GB disk space, 2000 GB transfer+2 Free domain just for $10 a year! Choose ADVANTAGE PLAN and enter this unbeliveable promotion code:MAX2
*Click Here.*
My jaw almost dropped off! But it is REAL and no gimmicks at all! It’s NetFirms’s July Promo and it will ends on 31st July 2007. So, if you are keen, must act fast-fast! *Remember to click on ‘Recalculate’ after you have keyed in the prmo code*
What I like about them is their LIVE Helpdesk. You get immediate response if you have any queries and the CS is fast and very helpful. And I can’t help myself but to signup with them! It’s crazy but I just did it! (buy and park also shiok mah!)
The only downside is, they do not accept PayPal payment at the moment so have to use credit card. It’s only $10 (RM35+/-) so no big deal lar… the price of a buffet dinner! So, if you are considering getting your own domain, this is your chance. Then again, I must fore tell you that this promo is only for 1 year and when your 366 days is up, you will be converted to the normal hosting package price (about $109/year). It’s up to you if you want to cancel, transfer or whatever after that.
p/s: If you think this post is damn cool, please link me up!
*Disclaimer: Offer and approval is at the sole discretion of NetFirms and RamblingMoo.com would not be liable for any disagreements or what so ever*

Darrius is already 20-month old now and I am in the process of training him to be fully potty trained before he reaches 28-month old. He has no problem informing me if he wanted to do his big biz but he is still not very sure when he wanted to go wee-wee.
I have been thinking of getting him some training pants so it will be easier for both of us. Strapping the disposable diapers can be a little tricky if we are out of the house so I have no choice but to get him some of these training pants.
There are many such incontinence products in the market now and I hope to find one that fits Darrius’s usage patterns and is not too costly.

The title says it all….
Yeap, evil us… we went for our last round of durian feast before the season ends. This is our 3rd time visiting Balik Pulau for three consecutive weeks! I think the amount of cholestrol we piled up can send our hearts rocking! Going for durians was not in our initial plan for the day. We have wanted to go for a Japanese buffet (the meal that PiggyBeng promised me to celebrate our Registration Anniversary) but the restaurant was fully booked so we have no choice but to go for an alternative.
When we arrived, there were quite a alot of durians and PiggyBeng could not decides what he wanted to try this time, so the durian stall owner told him to take the buffet offer instead. He charged RM10/pax and we can eat until we drop! Itelyu, I almost puke from the excessive of durians! We have to ta-pau (pack) the last piece as there’s no way we can swallow another bite!
The brand/species we tried this time includes Amy Yip, Bak-Eu, Chey-kak and Li-pan. The Amy Yip (fames Hong Kong 3rd category or soft porn atress in the early 90′) species is another one of the best I’ve tasted so far as the flesh thick, sticky and fragrant with slight sweet taste. For Bak-Eu, has a slight acidic aroma and the flesh is whitish while the taste is bittersweet. I don’t quite like it but PiggyBeng said it’s different from the rest. Chey-kak (green husk) is quite similar to ANg heh/Red Prawn with thick flesh and very fragrant. For Li-pan, it’s quite similar to Bak Yiu but yellowish in color. This is also just so-so only. (our camera still in the hospital so did not get to capture any photos!)
Bak-Eu - small whitish flesh with bittersweet taste
Ang Heh or Red Prawn is one of the Top Durian species
D600 - Very thick flesh but with a harden flesh at the seed area
So far we have tried quite a lot of species. We took a number of D600 last week (there are still one box in the freezer) and Teng-ki (long stem) which are so-so only. The previous week, we took some Chey-kak, Ang-Heh, Amy Yip, Taiwan Lady and one Kim-Hu (goldfish).
Though I am not a durian die-hard fan like PiggyBeng, but the experience has been extremely memorable. This is the first time we have gone to this extend. I’ve only started taking durian last year as I have been abstaining from it for the last 15 years!
Before we leave, we bought a piece of cempedak…. which is in season now! So, you will see some blogging on this soon! Stay tuned!
p/s: Photos of durians above are provided by PiggBeng sent to him by a colleague.

I have been tinkering with the idea of starting my own business for quite sometimes but still could not decide what I want to do. There are a lot of factors I need to thoroughly consider before I could go about doing it. Darrius is one of my up most concern as I do not want to neglect him should I ever go into anything. He is at a stage where high level of attention should be my top priority.
Then I have to look into all the nitty-gritty steps of incorporating a business from the creation of the company name, registration and etc, etc, etc… There are a huge amount of work involved! After all that, I still have to deal with all the tax registration and filling. I really hate doing this but I guess it does not leave me much choices. Though what I will be doing is very small scale, that does not mean I can sideline all these work.
As I have no experience or what so ever in this area, I will have to find myself an agent who can help me to do all these. One of the company that specialises in such services is the Louisiana Corporations where they provide quite a comprehensive service to help new businesses start up. They are experience with incorporation business since 1996 as they started as a general incorporation service setting up companies in different jurisdictions. Louisiana Corporation is aggressive and has very competitive pricing packages and being the top 5 in filing new incorporations per month in Nevada, they are doing a better job than any other companies around.
