A Homemaker’s Diary

Great news to all Italian football fans out there. Now is your chance to subscribe to a cheaper alternative to watch all the games except for the Napoli home game..heh! With SerieA.tv Pay Per View from 7.95 USD, you can watch the game Live and On Demand. The package includes Condensed Game and HL.

Not only that, you can also get the latest news and standings for your favorite teams. For example, The Sampdoria striker, Antonio Cassano will be out of action for at least two weeks after straining a muscle in his left thigh at the weekend.

And if you feel generous for your obsession for football, you can pay for the Season Pass from 109.95 USD and you can watch all games Live and On Demand. This package includes Condensed Games and HL from all games played throughout the whole season. And great news as well since Italian Cup games are included in this SerieA.tv Season Pass.

Even for a person like me who doesn’t follow much about football, I think it is considered low cost to pay for high-quality streaming content of exclusive games that is not available legally from any other source.

Checking out the standings, it seems that Inter is leading ahead, thanks to Ibrahimovic Zlatan as the top scorer..heh! I guess number 8 is really a lucky number, huh! Oh, for those big fans of AS Roma captain Francesco Totti, the former Italy international is just one goal behind Inter’s hitman Zlatan Ibrahimovic and Juventus goal-king David Trezeguet in the all-time Serie A goalscoring list.

I was doing my bunga songket downstairs when I happened to watch the Fat Camp series on Discovery Home & Health channel. I am not sure whether there is such camp in Malaysia but I think it will be a good idea to introduce one.

I am thinking to change my diet plan to be light and lean meal, rather than the usual typical Malay food. In fact we have tried this before when Hubby was on healthy regime last year (or the year before?) and it worked for only 2-3 weeks.

I think the problem with such cooking is that it takes a lot on our tastebuds to adjust to the bland and not really tasty meals, heh!

I think perhaps I should try the berpantang menu for a change. After all, grilled ikan with ginger and black pepper will taste good when eaten with sayur air, but how about the carb intake? With such lauk, I’m sure we will go for a second serving for the rice..huhu! And in the end it will defeat the purpose of weight gain control…any idea to make it really work?

Time flies so fast this year. With all the busy plans and tasks to be completed all year long, I can’t believe it’s already end of October and soon it will be the holiday season. Even when I’m not celebrating the holiday – Halloween, Thanksgiving or Christmas, once it reaches December the mood is there for holiday.

So for those preparing for the season, perhaps you would want to customize holiday cards to be sent to friends and family members. Rather than buy the one sold in bulk with the same boring design like last year, maybe this year you would want to share the spirit of the holiday even more.

And while you are uploading your template to VistaPrint, make sure you use their coupon code during checkout.

For example, by using the coupon code – FreePen07, you can get one free custom promotional pen that you can customize. What you need to pay is the shipping and handling. Whereas for coupon code FreeCalendar07, you are entitled for one free custom wall calendar while coupon code- FreeHoliday enables you to get 10 free custom holiday cards.

In my case I’m thinking of getting calendars to give to customers and friends. It will be a nice but practical marketing tools for my business. What do you think of this magnetic calendar? Otherwise if the budget would allow, I’ll go for desk calendars or wall calendars. Nice gifts for Christmas and New Year, right?

I guess this week will be a quiet week for me. Other than the phone call from The Star writer just now asking for my full name and telling me that the story will be published in the newspaper this Wednesday, there’s nothing much exciting stuff happen over here.

Apart from a student who might be coming for scrapbooking class this Saturday and the usual errand of paying bills during weekend..nothing on the dateline to be pushed for either, heh!

Oh, come to think of it, I have to do another 10 sets of bunga songket for the songket biz owner so that she can get all the boxes ready for packaging. She had used all the bunga songket I made for her earlier (guess her sales were really good for the past 1-2 months) and even the one I made for samples were all used up..huhu!

I hope once I’m done with the task, I could start drafting the craft book. I hope my ability to write won’t be so rusty..wink!

For those hard core fans anywhere in the vicinity of Manchester Evening News Arena next year on 23rd and 24th January, be informed that the group Spice Girls will return with their 10 hits including ‘Wannabe’, ‘Goodbye’, ‘Viva Forever’, ‘Too Much’ & Spice Up Your Life. Do check out the available tickets ready on sale starting from 26th October this year. And while you are planning to go for the show, make sure you have think ahead about accommodation for the night. There are a number of Manchester hotels nearby the MEN Arena.

I read from the Internet that the MEN Arena is on the edge of the city centre, next to Victoria Station. So with trams running to Victoria Station (Bury line), you can virtually stay anywhere on the tram route.

Or if you are in London after Christmas and plan to stay longer for holiday, check out the best deal for accommodation in London. Whether you are young travelers, on luxurious spending budget or on holiday with family, London has a lot to offer. Get the London Pass as it offers free entry to over 55 attractions in and around London. The attractions include The Tower of London, St Paul’s Cathedral, London Aquarium, London Zoo and Windsor Castle.

While getting comfortable with London accommodation proves to be no problem, restraining your kids from the largest toyshop in the world could be a nuisance. Hamleys of London stocks over 30,000 different products on its seven funpacked floors. I wouldn’t miss the chance to make my own teddy at their soft-toy workshop..hehe!
