p/s: This is a scheduled post. I set it up exactly at 8.30pm to remind those who are online at this hour to join the rest of the world in support of Earth Hour!

This is my Vote for Earth Hour all the way from Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia!!

Wooohoo!! It's Friday!!

So what's everyone's plans for tonight??? Anyone chimmichanga-ing tonight??? I had a blast last Saturday with my hubs at Hard Rock Cafe and he was wondering who will be willing to babysit the kids this weekend because he wants to go out again.. just the two of us! It seems like he couldn't get enough!!

Anyways, just a reminder for you guys out there..

I think all clubs should really really implement this kind of entry stamps! Simple ad, but effective. This was implemented at by one of the popular nightclubs, Enigma at Hotel Marriott in India. I suggest other clubs follow suit!

So yeah, before everyone gears up to get ready to go out tonight, remember.. DON'T DRINK AND DRIVE!

It's my husband's birthday today and he specifically wanted this song for me to post on Music Monday and what the birthday boy wants, the birthday boy gets! So hope you guys enjoy this one.. I love this song and it spreads a great message too. So, enjoy!!

Wow, I didn't even realize that I've been leaving this blog stagnant for almost a week. I haven't had time to go online for the most part except to update my Today.com blogs. If I weren't paid daily for that, maybe I wouldn't have bothered at all.

So anyways, I took some time out to check out what I've been missing and I found that I've been tagged by Debbie a.k.a Phatelara for the 7 things tag. Looks like she wants to know more about silly ol' me.. So here goes...

The Rules
* List these rules on your blog.
* Share 7 facts about yourself on your blog.
* Tell 7 unspectacular quirks on yours.
* Tag 7 people at the end of your post by leaving their names as well as links to their blogs.
* Link the person who tagged you.
* Leave a comment for each blogger.

7 Facts About Me

6. My ringtone is "Imperial March - Darth Vader's Theme". I absolutely love Star Wars but I'm not a Trekkie fan. (I do know what a Klingon is, though and I've always wanted to say "Beam Me Up, Scotty" when I'm in an elevator. )
7. I can't stand the sight of snails.. but I eat 'em anyways. I just had some escargots last night!

Since everyone has been tagged (or so it seems) I am tagging those who are in dire need of interim posts!

I dedicate this song to myself because today, I'm SO SLOW at chopping!! Nah, actually I just adore Ari Hest and I think his music is great.. definitely worth taking note of!

Happy Music Monday, everyone!

Don't you feel that there are times in your life when you're in a situation and you can practically hear a song playing in your head at that EXACT moment? I don't know about you guys, but I always hear a soundtrack/sound clip in my head during certain situations.

For example, if it's an awkward situation, I swear I can hear crickets chirping. If I'm in a panicky state, it's gotta be the theme song for "Jaws"! If I'm happy and content, it's gotta be Israel Kamakawiwo'ole's "Somewhere Over the Rainbow". It's just the way my weird brain works.

Anyways, I found an awesome Personal Soundtrack Shirt from one of my favorite hangouts on the web, ThinkGeek.com. Yes for a nerdy dork a.k.a nork like me, I have to admit that I do spend a great amount of time on this website just oooohh-ing and aaahh-ing at their latest gadgets.

This t-shirt retails for $39.99 and I think it would be an awesome gift for a fellow !

Anyone wanna get me one???

I know that most people nowadays, share their precious moments through digital scrapbooking. I have done a few myself and spend oodles and oodles on scrapbooking material. There are some however who still stick to the traditional method of scrapbooking - a method that I really really appreciate because I do feel that the traditional method needs a lot more creativity since no Photoshop-ing is allowed! LOL!

Anyways, for those interested in crafts in general, you might want to check out my friend Debbie's blog, Craft 'n' Swap. I recently won her February 2009 Giveaway Contest and won really cool prizes.

I will receive a pack of MAMBI Soft Spoken Milan-Love stickers, a pack of Creative Imaginations Narratives by Karen Russell chipboards and a pack of SEI large fabric brads!

Currently, she is updating her store with more products but in the meantime you can definitely take a look around. There are many useful tips to create better crafts! Enjoy!

Welcome to Part 2 of LJ's birthday celebration!!

Moving on to the 80's which happen to be LJ's favorite era - I have chosen one of my 80's favorite dance songs - Whitney Houston's I Wanna Dance With Somebody!

I'm quite upset though that the original video embedding was disabled by request. So just gotta settle to listening to the song! Happy Birthday LJ!

I've been dropping ECs (Entrecards - for those who don't know what I'm talking about) for the past hour and the problem that I've encountered last night are still ongoing. So it's like this.. say I'm dropping at A's website right. Then B is the featured EC on the widget. So when I click on B's EC ad, instead of redirecting me to B's site on a new tab, it goes to A's website.

But the thing is, it doesn't happen to everyone's blog. I don't think it's fair for those who've already advertised and it doesn't redirect them to their page. Hmm.. are you having the same problem or is it just me??

It's such a hassle because that's the only style of EC dropping that I love. Open pages from my drops inbox, and click on their ads until I run out of pages and open more from my drops inbox.

For those of you who don't have any Entrecard widgets and have no idea what I'm talking about, you can ignore me.

I was cooking lunch for my children this afternoon and I told myself I really need an apron! With Asian cooking, you can't NOT wear an apron with all that soy sauce, oyster sauce, chilli sauce or what-have-yous.. Can hardly pull off that clean Jamie Oliver kitchen look.

Anyways, I haven't bought an apron for my new household here in KL.. So I thought I might just find some nice ones online. So here I am, one lazy afternoon, when I stumbled upon The Apron Goddesses site - a site for everything aprons which have a collection of other sites by apron designers.... and boy! How ignorant was I!

They have every type of apron from the 1940's, really retro ones, half waisted aprons, full aprons and even couture aprons that go up to $400/set (the mother-daughter ones). I'm amazed!!

They don't even look fit to be used at home what more to say the kitchen!! Especially, when you're cooking "ayam kicap"!

Anyways, I'll catcha guys later.. I'm on the hunt for an apron!
