A Homemaker’s Diary

*This post is written for BuildASign.com*

A few months ago, a man in a car drove around my housing area and stopped by at our gate. Luckily Hubby just came back from work and he was outside waiting for me to water my plants. That man asked about the empty houses around the area because he said he just moved here and would like to rent.

Well, actually there are many houses for sale (or rent?) in my area. But it just doesn’t have enough details for the potential buyer or tenant to contact. It would be good if those agents or the landlords themselves get a proper real estate signs. At least we as the neighbors will have enough information to give out to any possible tenant.

I have check the site at BuildASign.com and noticed that they have all kinds of signs to be customized. What I am interested to get for my handcraft business is the bumper stickers type. It is so easy to customize with just a click here and there. You can even choose the type of materials that you want the signs to be printed on – aluminum, magnetics, license plate, artboard etc. You can change the background color, add your choice of clipart, upload your own image to the sign or change the size and you’ll get the signs for your business.

Next time when I catch the landlord of my next door house, I will ask him whether he’s planning to rent the house. After all the weeds in his garden has been such a sore to my eye.

We went to Sate Kajang Haji Samuri in Bangi last Saturday for a round of satay fun when I noticed this on the road. It seems that every Saturday night there will be a massive pasar malam there. So this is what happen after the night market is over.

I just don’t understand the attitude of Malaysians who don’t care about throwing rubbish every where. It’s like they expect that there will be someone else who will pick their rubbish off the streets..huhu! Maybe this is another Malaysia Boleh attitude that they wish the world to know..smirk! What a sad view to see.

If suddenly Hubby come back and say we have to move to US for 6 months due to his work, will I be overjoyed? Or my restless mind will start jumping, thinking so much about finding about houses for rent. You know, I’m not really good when it comes to relocating and moving away from places that I am used to. But still if the need calls for it, I need to do something, right?

I found one that situated around his work place at this rentals.com. Not sure how much his housing allowance will be so I just play safe. This one in Princeton Properties in Lowell, MA has a lease price of $825 – $1450 per month and it kind of just nice for the two of us. One important factor is that it is furnished and available for immediate lease.

Of course if you check the site, they have so much choices. The one I’ve been looking at is in apartment category. I think the apartment unit that I’m checking out doesn’t have in house washer and dryer but for now it will do. I am a bit concern about the rent since we will be paying for both houses, the one here and there..huhu!

Unless Hubby’s employer is really generous and give huge amount in term of accommodation allowance then for sure I will have many choices to choose from. I found few more interesting places in Lowell but then again it always have to be about the money. But still it is easy to look for houses, apartment or town houses to rent especially when you are miles away from the place you will be.

I know what has been draining my energy….huhuhu..these are the culprit that has been ruining my life for this month (and since last month). I have been spending hours in front of my monitor, clicking and clicking items on eBay.

It’s kind of addicting like been swallowed in another world of items, endless tunnel of choices.

Well, after all I already got one box. Maybe I should put some stop on my crazy obsession for scrapbooking items, it’s just that there are a few more that I think I need..haha! This week I managed to buy Prima flowers, some ribbons and fibers. I just need paper trimmer, glue dots and some more gorgeous collection of stickers..then I’m done (as if it’s true..huhu!)

Help! I need help to restrain myself from the eBay. Hubby already threatened to block eBay since I have been living like a zombie these days.

I will be normal again, in time..haha!

I know few people who use disposable contact lens for many years now. I’ve tried the monthly disposable but it did not last long with me. I was too lazy to put the contact lens into my eyes every day so after one month expiry period I have to throw them away..haha!

For now I just stick to my old eye glasses every time I need to watch movie in the cinema or driving, the rest of the time I just like my hazy vision…haha! But if you are a contact lens user, you need to look for brands that reliable and give good bargain for your money. After all, you need to spend your good earned income on your disposable lens that help you see more clearly, right?

I was amazed to see that there are a lot of brands with rebate offered with the purchase. Some up to $40 plus free shipping too for US residents when you buy more than 4 boxes. What they offer for example is that you will receive a $40 mail-in rebate when you order 8 boxes of Biomedics XC Contact Lenses. Since it is 1-2 weeks disposable, those 8 boxes will last about 4 months. Even without the rebate, you get the price of $14.99 instead of $19.99.

And there are so much improved technology in the market when it comes to contact lens nowadays which they say make the lenses stay moist, comfortable and healthy throughout the entire day. Hummm..maybe I should try wearing contact lens again.
