Gained 1kg In December

I gained 1kg in the month of December during my holiday up North. We had a food marathon trip in Penang and Ipoh. During that period of 1 week, I had skipped exercise for almost the whole week. When we came back to KL, I felt really bloated, up until today! Food does not excite me anymore and I am now in my quest to shed off the 1kg I gained. I have been extremely busy for the past 3 days with my online store and that, along with reduced calorie and food intake had helped me to lose a pound. If anyone of you wants to lose weight, come to me and pay me! I will help you achieve your mission. You don’t need the best weight loss product to help you lose weight. You need discipline, self-control, sacrifice and a little hard work. That’s all you need!

My Girls Are Fast Growing Up

My 2 older girls are fast growing up. Not too long ago, I had 3 hardcore fans of Barnie and High 5 in the house. Now, they no longer want to watch Barnie with their baby sister. Instead, they hog the Astro remote control and are always watching movies like CSI, Amazing Race, American Idol, reality shows and even documentaries on dog dna testing. Very soon, Baby will join her 2 sisters and I will have to sell their collection of VCDs on Barney, High 5, Sesame Street, Mickey Mouse and other cartoons in my online store. I think they have over a hundred VCDs collected over 7 years!

Problems An Online Store Owner Faces

One of the many worries that I have as an online store owner is that of the quality of the clothes that I have ordered from my suppliers. If the quality is sub-standard, I will be left in a lurch for I cannot return them to my suppliers or ask for a refund. I recently ordered a batch of kids clothes from my supplier and had paid over RM5k for them. I worry so much about the quality and of delays in in the stock arrival that I kept having dreams about the clothes. I just had another dream about the clothes last night but I cannot recall the details of the dream. Another problem I face is pernickety customers. They pay peanuts but expect the clothes to be of superb quality.   But thank God I don’t have many of these customers. I can go on and on ranting about the problems I face in running an online store but I better get back to work now and write a review on garage door opener as the deadline for submission is drawing near.

Boil On My Finger – Healed!

On day 3, I ran hot water on the boil and tried to squeeze the pus out during my shower. It took me almost 10 minutes before I finally saw very tiny amount of pus oozing out. Gosh, I felt victorious and relieved… relieved that I don’t have to go under the knife to have the pus removed!! Though very little pus came out, I could see that the size of the boil had shrunk. The pain was also lesser. Today is more than a week since I squeezed the pus out and my finger has healed completely with no more pain.

Before the pus was squeezed out…

After the pus was squeezed out 2 days later…

Back To The Workforce?

My mum was telling me that I should concentrate on being a full-time mom instead of working from home. She has seen how agitated and grouchy I get when work and my 3 kids get into me. She said I should spend some quality time with the kids until my youngest is at least 5 years old. Thereafter I can look around for some management jobs and return to the workforce full-time. But I don’t think I will be marketable by then. I would have been away from the workforce for 7 years. I don’t think any company would want to hire a woman in her early 40s who has lost touch with the corporate world for 7 years. I quite like what I am doing now. I have a business of my own, dealing in things that I am passionate about. I can’t wait for Baby to be 4 years old so that I can send her to pre-school. That’s when I can have some me time for at least 4 hours in the morning, all to myself.
