A Homemaker’s Diary

Do you have pet? I missed having gold fish as pet. But since my living hall could not accommodate the large tank that I want to buy, I decided to hold on with the idea first. Last time I had a bunch of gold fish in a small tank and it just got dirty so fast and after Nano died, I just could not bear having another broken heart over gold fish..haha!

So for anyone who is new to my blog, have a look at the fat face of my hamster, Tiki.

I’m not sure how old is she. But I think I have her for almost a year now. I have to check my first entry about Tiki to know the exact date I bought her and the late Toko. She has put on so much weight ever since but as long as she is happy, I’m fine with it. Why judge a hamster by its body shape, right! haha!

You can see she’s smiling. 🙂

If you are running an online business like me, when you are on the go and suddenly there seems to be like an opportunity for good clients, I always wish that there is Internet connection available and access to online storage to all the range of my products.

I have a functioning business website but sometimes there are certain items that has not been updated to the website, still lying in the folders inside my PC.

It’s much easier to show to the clients what my products look like online rather than having a conventional folder and catalogs to drag around.

I know some clients still prefer the traditional way but when you have the option to be more practical and cost effective, why not go the other road, right?

That’s why I find the idea of paying $9.95 a month for 5GB storage at IBackup.com as reasonable.

If you are still not sure how it works, check out the easy demo they have at their website. It’s like creating another drive on your PC, but this time the files are saved online on their server. If you are not sure how it could really help you maybe you could try their 15-day Free Trial offer.

I know by the Law of Attraction I shouldn’t say this, but the most dreaded thing that could happen every day when I wake up from sleep is to find all my data in my PC gone.

Years of hard work, pictures taken on daily basis (I’m a junkie since I have my Sony T30), all the information I accumulated from the Internet and have saved into my PC are among the most precious intellectual property I possess. If something were to happen, it would be such a heartbreak to my business plan.

What about you?

Don’t you think this IBackup could help improve your business productivity?

Have a look. It could save all the money, effort and time and protect yourself from the data headache later.

My hard work over the weekend has been paid off today when the parcel of 60 tulip corsages was sent to Bintulu. Actually I wanted to send it on Monday but since I have another 10 of tulip corsages to make and at 5am (Monday morning) I was too tired to finish them, I decided it was not worth it to take the risk.

I’m sure I wouldn’t be happy to come out with mediocre standard to finish up that 10 corsages so I stopped working and went to sleep.

I hope the client would be happy to receive these corsages for the event on 20th May. And I hope the event will go smoothly as well.

Now I have another 20 corsages to do for a corporate event on 17th May. I just can’t wait for this month to be over..huhu!

It’s official that I will move out from the current SOHO room and have my own craft cum SOHO room. Now I am thinking of all the ideas to decorate the room. But first I need to have another air cond or maybe a ceiling fan in that room.

Remember about 20 years ago, I doubt whether they have ceiling fans as wide variety as now. I remembered the ceiling fan back then was the one with white 5 blades, plain color with no fixture on the middle. Then it started to get more modern with light fixture and remote control.

Have a look at the range of casablanca fans. I am eyeing this one.

This La Fleur ceiling fan comes in Maple or Classic White blades and light fixture with glass bowl. Or I can choose one with fluted no-light finial to suit my white and airy craft room. Of course it comes with remote control. These days who still wants to walk to the switch board and on the fan..haha!

Now I wonder if Hubby would approve this.

It’s OK, they have a lot more choices if Hubby is not OK with La Fleur, they even have fan with center glass football and baseball design. Maybe they should come out with keyboard and mouse light fixture for a geek like Hubby!

I would love to go to Amsterdam for holiday. Especially when I found one great website that list almost all available hotels and place of attractions there. Check out EasyToBook.com.

About its tourist attraction, I would not miss the chance to visit Anne Frank House to see how the hiding place where Anne and others stayed for years during the perils of the Nazi regime really looks like.

Since Amsterdam has inhabitants tolerant attitude toward soft drugs and prostitution, perhaps I should not miss the walk around its Red Light District, just to feed my curiosity about that part of life..haha!

For hotel choice, for now I think a double room with canal view at Hotel Amstelzicht will do. At least I would be able to take pictures without going out from my room early in the morning.

I also notice that some of the hotel rooms do not have attached shower and toilet but of course with that kind of rooms the rates are cheaper.

Oh, another part of the city I would not miss is the floating Flower market, the Bloemenmarkt. Wouldn’t it be nice if I could bring back all the flowers!
