EOE Online: Online Photo Printing Service


Ever since YiWen turned 1 year old, I had never went to any photo shops to develop photos. There are too many photos that I took after that and kinda of disorganized in my external hard disk. To filter all at one shot really takes time. But that day, I bummed into EOE Online which is an online photo printer that provide online photo printing service to all and now you can sit in front of your computer comfortably, organize and upload your photos at any time (whenever you free), and at anywhere (as long as you have Internet)! So convenient!


They are now having special print promotion where 4R print @ RM0.30 each, 5R print @ RM0.50 each. Best is there is no minimum quantity required! But if your order is RM35.00 and above , you will get free delivery (SkyNet courier service) from them.. WOW! What a bargain.. :)

It is so easy.. you just have to register at their website, then choose upload option (Photo Express Software which is a small size installer which you installed into your PC, and you can upload and resume your upload at any time; Easy Upload (using Active-X in IE) or the most basic way is File Upload (if you upload only few photos, then choose this option). Secondly, upload your photos, and lastly select print size and proceed to payment. You can choose several payment mode too.. Credit Card/Online Maybank Transfer or Cash Deposit.

They even have Online Support something like chat program that you can contact their executive if you have any enquiries or problems. YES, very friendly.. :)

I placed my order on Monday and today (Wednesday) i already received the parcel! So efficient! The quality of the printing is excellent. Will definitely place order with them again.. :)



Scam Scam Scam!!


This morning i received a call from a guy.. a very professional speaking guy from MBF Bank. He asked me if i call them yesterday to increase creditcard credit limit. I was "Ar? I never had anything with MBF, what credit card?? What credit limit??". Then he repeat my fullname, IC number and contact number, and all at correct info! Then he told me someone must have use my name to apply credit card (of coz in my mind i was thinking which idiot got my photostat IC to apply card?? How daring !!). This "MBF Guy" told me to jot down the card details (number, expiry date, type of card, date of application, branch applied, outstanding balance (>RM9K), credit limit, the last transaction venue and date) so that I can report this to Bank Negara "PUSAT PENGURUSAN KAD PALSU" at 03-2782 6916.

Of course, without knowing it is scam.. i called the number given, but that guy behind (also very professional) told me that he need to on his voice recorder to record this case. So , he will call back. After waited for 15mins, he didn't call. So i called him back asking why he didn't call. Then he told me.. "OkOk.. i call now.. " I started to feel a bit skeptical about this guy.. usually such service line, voice recorder should have already been activated automatically.. then how can BANK NEGARA ding ding dong dong on such fraud report? Surely they should have call me immediately right ? So, i told my MSN friend about it. She said "TIPU wan la!! Don't give anything to him.. " So, i quickly google Bank Negara and MBF website.. YES!! Indeed got such scam!! OMG , i almost got conned.. luckily didn't leak out any info to those idiots..

Hehe.. that "BANK NEGARA" con man did call back.. i wanted to know how he wanna continue his strategy.. he repeated my name, then he pressed few buttons to activate the voice recorder.. then ask me to repeat my name, my ic number.. then i hang up.. he never call me back after that!! Lousy !!

For those who don't know about this.. please be informed.. and also inform your elders who are having credit cards on this scam to never reveal any security info to anyone or corporations over the phone. They might not be as canggih as us who can google immediately for such issue.. and they will be extreme panic knowing someone is trying to steal from their tabung haji which they susah-payah save through out their living.

BE WARE!!

Tambun 'Woodlands' Park

Last weekend we brought YiWen to Tambun Woodlands Park at Bandar Baru Tambun. We moved into this new neighbourhood for almost 9 months and this was the first time we visit this park which is less than 1km.



Didn't knew that we have such nice park nearby. This park is courtesy from Total Investment developer for nearby residents. It has jogging track, great landscape for relaxation and picnic, kids have this playground and swing for their playtime.. just perfect. :)

See how happy was YiWen with her swing..

YiWen accept DURIAN ???


Few months back, I gave YiWen to taste durian, but she spit it out. So I concluded that she dislike durian. But yesterday we went to pasar malam and hub bought a small durian just for his own enjoyment (since I don't eat it), I asked him to let YiWen try again, maybe she will take it this time.

This was her response yesterday night. Hub fed her while she watching TV and her hand was holding a piece of guava. She was licking licking her lips while hub adjusting his holding position. kekeke.. :)

It is good to know that YiWen is not a picky eater like her mommy.. :P

Pregnancy: 27 Weeks

I'm now at 27 weeks into pregnancy now, my legs are swollen like a "chu kuok" aka throtter leg.. AND yesterday night I had countless legs cramp.. and thanks to it.. now I'm having muscle pain at the back of the legs.. Sigh, still got 13 weeks to go.. GOSH! But in the other side, I'm glad that i didn't have CTS (Carpal Tunnel Syndrome) like what I developed in first pregnancy. It was very painful.. very afraid of it. Super painful when u move your wrist especially in the morning after awake. It is like moving a frozen painful hand..OUUUUUUCH!

Pray tell I can have better sleeping time tonight.. **pray pray**

New Obimin --> OBIMIN PLUZ..

I been taking Obimin as prenatal supplement since the day i knew i'm pregnant. Since Obimin does not have DHA or enough folic acid content, so I got to take those separately. More supplement, meaning cost me more.

Lately I visited a very nice petite doctor who is also child specialist to YiWen, she generously gave me 3 sample of OBIMIN PLUZ. Each sample has 5 pills. These "plus" has DHA, EPA and folic acid that sufficient for a daily supplement for preggie mommy. I'm sure my gynae will not prescribe me this new supplement as he never believe in any DHA in pill or milk form. He believes each child intelligence is nurtured from parents and surroundings. To me, no harm taking it as long as I didn't go overdosed. Hehehe.. next round will get it from local pharmacy.. Yippie! No need to telan so many pills liao..! :D

Last Sunday..

As usual, we (hubby, YiWen and Me) woke up late at 8-9am.. hehehe.. :P

Went for breakfast at San Chai Restaurant. Ordered Cintan Mee Soup with veggie, minced pork, fishball and egg. Quite healthy right? Shared it with YiWen. She ate quite a lot.. As usual, she loves cintan mee.. :)

YiWen drank my MILO Kosong.. see how comot her face was.. hehe..

Went to nearby market to buy some fresh veggie.. Don't know why this morning i felt like cooking Braised Veggies with Red Fermented BeanCurb.. hehehe.. So, that's gonna be the main course for lunch today.. :)

Her naughty act in the car. (Don't worry, the gear is freed and hand brake was on). Got hissing sound? Ya.. came from YiWen.. she will put that hissing sound effect everytime she play with the sterling.. **roll eyes**

Since my taste bud has temporarily been ruined by blocked nose, I got to rely on my hub to taste the cooking for me. "Enough Nam Yu or not? Enough salt or not?? "

Dah-dang.. hehehe.. my simple home-cooked dish for family..
Here are the ingredients:

Chinese cabbage
cellophane noodles (or glass noodles)
1 carrot, sliced
2 sticks dried beancurd
5-6 fried tofu puffs
10 cloud ears (a kind of dried black fungus)
5 wood ears (a kind of dried black fungus)
3 Tbsp red fermented beancurd , mashed into paste
few slices ginger
1 cup water

Thickening:
2 tsp light soy sauce
1 tsp dark soy sauce
2 tsp oyster sauce
1 tsp cornflour
salt, to taste
a dash sesame oil
a pinch white pepper

Method:
  1. Soak cloud ears, wood ears, beancurd sticks and cellophane noodles in water until softened.
  2. Trim cloud ears and wood ears, remove the hard stems. Cut tofu puffs into two halves. Blanch cloud ears, wood ears and tofu puffs in boiling water for 3 minutes. Drain well.
  3. Rinse Chinese cabbage and cut into sections.
  4. Heat 2 tablespoons of oil in a wok or claypot over medium-low heat. Saute ginger until aromatic. Add red fermented beancurd paste and stir constantly, until fragrant. Toss in Chinese cabbage, increase heat to high. Add carrot, mushrooms, cloud ears, wood ears, beancurd sticks and 1 cup of water. Cover and cook until all ingredients turn soft, stir occasionally. Check the water and replenish, if necessary, with boiling water.
  5. Add cellophane noodles, stir and cook until softened. Pour in thickening and cook to your preferred consistency. Serve hot.

Beside this I also boiled lotus stem soup and added 3 fried eggs.

No meat for Sunday, but it is definitely not pure vegetarian meal as there were lean pork meat in the soup and also I don't think egg is a vegetarian food neither.

But, overall the food was more than enough for 3 people in a family.. :)

Preggies Need to Put on Seat Belt?? LEGALLY??


This topic is always a debate among me and my surroundings. My MIL, father, colleagues told me that legally, preggies do not need to put on seat belt. This case can be won even without "Karpal Singh"! .. Is this true?? According to them, a jot and impact from seat belt can easily kill the BB inside the womb. Serious??

Actually it is very uncomfortable to put on seat belt when the tummy is big.. sometimes I also took it for granted. But, after reading the brochure below, i think it is better to obey the rule.. :)

Brochure below is taken from http://miros-road-safety.blogspot.com.

So, mommies out there, do you put on seat belt when you are/were pregnant?

BB very quiet..

I'm been down with flu for 3 days! My business trip to Parit Buntar lately has worsen it. Travel around, working in cold environment and sometimes in out under hot sun. OMG.. my immune system has gone down to negative! Isks!

Lately been taking antibiotic (for sore throat) and drowsy drug (for running nose and blocked nose). Will that impact my baby inside me?

These few days my baby seldom move/kick me. Yesterday was on mc, went to scan at nearby clinic. The petite doctor told me only drowsy drug will cause baby to move less.. if i'm unwell, bb might also be unwell. She checked bb's heartbeat.. Oh.. pumping at >100 rate.. "BB is fine! Don't worry. I can see her move.. neh neh.. she kick u already.. hehehe!" Doctor is more excited than me.. kekeke.. :) She also mentioned BB is not small size.. slightly bigger than normal. She said overall very healthy.. just mommy got to rest more.. YES! I think that too.. but i'm back to work today. Coz kerja melambak already.. need to settle it before i can rest in peaceful mind on this weekend.. :)

Somehow i have this intuition of this BB is much gentle than YiWen. YiWen was very active all time in the womb. Never change until now. People always say usually you will get 1 very active and 1 very gentle.. hopefully la.. if BB also as active as YiWen, then sigh... *slap forehead*
