A Homemaker’s Diary

For those of you who don’t know what is bunga getah, it is my new creation of rose from rubber tree leaves. Yes, the rubber tree which drop its leaves can be turned into craftmaking materials. Don’t ask me the procedures because I only bought the ready made leaves from supplier.

I read somewhere that the process of turning the leaves into craft leaves are quite complicated and take such a long time to soak the leaves in special chemical bla bla..and some other process that you have to follow. If you want to learn more about that you can contact RISDA.

So this is the latest that I created for my client. It’s going to be given to the groom’s side as part of the hantaran (I hope so!). Some people still practise that, you give one pahar consists of 50 bunga telur as part of the usual hantaran – sirih junjung, cake, chocolate, fruits, etc and the other side will reciprocate and give one pahar to you.

This special bunga telur will then be given to the bride and groom friends and relatives who come to the wedding from near and far as a token of appreciation.

Ever wonder how much bank makes every year from our savings and loan they gave out to consumers? I never realized that until I went for a financial talk last week.

I think it’s about time that we as consumers be more aware about our financial situation and how we can actually earn more from our savings (instead of be satisfied with whatever is given on the plate).

While we are still on the topic of managing personal finance, you could have a look and compare online banking interest rates, savings accounts features and find a new savings account or checking account that earns more interest with SavingsAccounts.com

Do you know that by depositing your hard-earned money in certain bank’s account you could even get up to 6.00% of interest instead of the menial 1% you used to get.

Plus point, at SavingsAccount.com they also provide you with resources to gain more knowledge about managing your money. The articles are meant to help people like us understand online banking better and even help us saving more money to be put into that 6% high yield saving accounts. 🙂

Sometimes I feel so tired of seeing things unsettled. I’m not talking about my life as a whole, it’s just I can’t wait to settle all the orders.

The living room has been a mess for quite some times now and I don’t even have space to sit anywhere on and off the sofa. The carpet is occupied with ribbons and tulle, and scissors, and floral tapes, and wires and oh I just feel tired thinking what else to list, what more to see them all day and night.

I have to speed things up and clear up everything soon. After all, I’m planning a birthday party to be held in early May. That’s about 2 weeks to go. Maybe while I’m settling everything, I will be less devoted to all my blogs.

Only until everything will be done. I’m sure to miss my online life so much more, huhuhu!

It sounds more like Be There Day Care.

I think if you are a parent, you would wish to be there all day to take care of your children, the jewels of your life.

A lot of my working friends who gave birth and have to send their child to babysitter or daycare after their maternity leaves are over shared their feelings that they always feel sad and guilty.

Most of the time they admit feeling very anxious about the well-being of their newborn baby at the daycare center.

But life has to go on and some mothers have no choice but to go to work outside their home just like the fathers.

So if you are looking for childcare providers at your place, this is your chance to be selective. Check the list of daycares available nearby.

Maybe you are looking for preschool or a babysitter located the nearest to your office or home.

If you are one of the daycare providers in the country, register your service with DayCareBear.com and you are helping a lot of eager looking parents to ease their burden.

If you were given the choice to be a career minded mom with a high profile job or a working mom that stays at home doing all the unglamorous house chores such as hanging the laundry in the sun every day, which choice would you choose?

I know a few people that prefer being at work and left their children to be taken care by nanny and maid at home. I also knew a certain group that have no choice but to stay at home since the cost of daycare exceeds the budget of their households.

I have no say about this because I’m not a mom, yes I used to be a full-time employed worker too and now a homemaker, but I only take care of my hubby and myself. Share your plight and opinion. I would like to hear them!
