A Homemaker’s Diary

I was planning not to write any sponsored post tonight after doing some good job in the evening when I came across a site that serves personalized news. So since I am going to watch Harry Potter new movie on Friday night, I thought why not find some new updates about the movie or the coming final book.

So here I found 2 related news, one for the movie and another for the book. Maybe if you have something interesting on your blog, you could share by submitting it to the Thoof.com.

The first article is about Harry Potter first kissing scene in the movie. I am happy that finally Harry managed to get over his nervous feeling for Cho Chang..haha! Good for him that the kissing scene is real and has nothing to do with CGI.

Of course if you ask me I could spend most of my time reading through all the articles people share on Thoof. What makes it easy is that you can search it by what you like to read such as movie, books, entertainment or even politics. So next time when you sign on to Thoof, it will give you a personalized page with stories of your interest.

It will save your time rather than to search for general websites and blogs for stories that you want to read. And it is not restricted to stories as they have the whole collection of news articles, websites, videos, photographs, and other links from all around the web world.

Let’s check what else they have on entertainment, I’m sure it would be fun. Bet there will be stories about Paris Hilton. I still can’t grasp why would people be so concern about her going in jail..duhh! Oh, found one about Pop Stars’ real name. Madonna is her real name, the full name is Madonna Louise Veronica Ciccone. Put that as one of entertainment trivia questions for your party quiz..haha!

I was doing my craft work downstairs while watching Supernatural. I was thinking to go to bed early tonight but then my favourite cooking related show – Fixing Dinner was on air at Discovery Home & Health channel. So I decided to wait another 30 minutes to see how this week’s family cope with their eating and cooking issues.

I realized that when you are too busy, juggling your life and your family schedule, being able to eat at home is like a luxury especially when you are able to eat your home-cooked food which you and everyone else in the household like the taste..(not some take away pizza or KFC to fill up a starving tummy..haha!)

Well, actually cooking is not that hard but having to spend the extra time to sort out in term of preparation and cleaning up the mess in the kitchen after the cooking and dining is what turn off most people from cooking. So with Fixing Dinner, the busy family are able to plan what to cook throughout the month and know what’s ahead in their menu. I like the fact that most of the dishes are so easy and simple to prepare. Maybe I have to think of something more Malaysian taste to add to my own Fixing Dinner program.

For this week despite my busy plan, I decided to try to cook at home as much as possible, mostly because I am sick to think on what to order at the restaurant. Plus if I am cooking, I don’t need to dress up to go out for dinner. But maybe during the weekend I will take some time off to focus on my crafts order that is nearing the dateline..huhu!

Would you love to have a vacation in Maui? If you want to have a comfort and privacy of home, being able to cook in a kitchen when the hunger strike at night, it’s time you consider taking Maui vacation rentals instead of staying in hotel room.

My personal choice would be Maui Paradise Condo with the price from $69 for a minimum of 3 nights stay. What’s important for me is the availability of Internet connection in the unit..haha! Call me a blog addict, but even while vacationing I need to be online. Plus as long as it has bedroom and decent bath I am a happy person.

I like the fact that it has all the amenities such as freezer, microwave and cooking range because I always have the urge to snack at night and usually the room service food wouldn’t do for my home-cooked craving.

So why wait any further? Let’s have a vacation in Maui!

One thing I have to mention in my blog is that for the second time in this month, my housing area was struck (again!!) with massive black out.

We were having dinner at the restaurant when the whole shophouses area, the housing area in front of the main road and the 3 adjacent housing areas of my house received the black out fate for Monday night. Luckily I almost finished eating..Damn! Just as I plan to relax and watch the sitcoms.

I don’t know what is wrong with the power supply. A call was made to TNB call center and the CS said something went wrong with the power supply for this area. Hubby said maybe the mall at Jusco has been taking a toll on the main electricity supply for this whole area and made us all suffer in heat and mosquitoes attack.

I hope next week there will be no more black out incident otherwise I will write email to TV3 and the Star to air my concern..huhu!
