My Fluffy Life~

I have been using my hometown mattress for almost 15 years, since I moved in to the house. I remembered my parents bought it from the lorry that roam around selling mattress. Thus the quality wasn’t a good one.

For the first few years we moved into the house, I slept on a lower bunk of double decker bed. As the weather was hot, I couldn’t really feel the wind from the ceiling fan as the upper bunk was hindering the wind from getting to my body.Thus I slept at one side of the mattress, the outer part as it was warmer on the inside.
After a couple of years, one side of the mattress is flattened while the other side is not which made the mattress uneven.

I have not slept under on the double decker bed for a long time as we have dismantle it, both side by side now. But I was still using the uncomfy mattress for a long time, many years to come.
My mother called me just now and told me that she has replaced the mattress for me with a good quality mattress! I am happy to hear that and felt touch that she cares after all. =)

Do you want to go to Matta travel fair later? He texted me and I was surprised! I thought the travel fair is in September! But alas, he got wrong information from his friend.

And of course I do not want to miss the travel fair as I could get very cheap travel ground packages there! Next, I want to go to Bali and probably Bangkok again next year. And I can find flight deals from online air travel discount as well!Yeah, budget traveling is always my style~!

How many bags are enough for you? 

For me I need many bags.  A few backpacks; for work or travel or go back to my hometown. A few formal handbags; which I used to use for work but not anymore. 

A few casual bags, big and small; for shopping, movies, dinners or casual outing. A sling bag; normally for travelling. A laptop bag; need I say more? 

A luggage bag; of course for travelling.

And a few other types of bag. How bout you?

Yesterday, AV asked me if I know any software that could turn all her pictures to videos format as she wants to send to her parents to view. I wasn’t sure of any till I searched and found digital video editing software which is Powerhouse all-in-one converter from Blaze Media Pro. It has extensive functionalities for audio and video capabilities that make editing easy and fun! Check out for more info at their website today!

I realised that I have been grinding teeth in my sleep and this freak me out a little. I do not know how long it has been going on but I’ve been told that I’ve been grinding for 3 consecutive nights.Is this due to stress, fatique or braces? I am not so sure and thus I googled about the condition and found that it is labelled as Bruxism. It can cause fracturing, loosening or even loss of teeth! My goodness!

Apart from that, it could also affect jaws, result in hearing loss and change the appearance of the face.Some tips that I found out on how to prevent teeth grinding is as below :

- Avoid or cut back on foods and drinks that contain caffeine, such as colas, chocolate, and coffee.- Avoid alcohol. Grinding tends to intensify after alcohol consumption.

- Do not chew on pencils or pens or anything that is not food. Avoid chewing gum as it allows your jaw muscles to get more used to clenching and makes you more likely to grind your teeth.

- Train yourself not to clench or grind your teeth. If you notice that you clench or grind during the day, position the tip of your tongue between your teeth. This practice trains your jaw muscles to relax

- Relax your jaw muscles at night by holding a warm washcloth against your cheek in front of your earlobe.

With the increase of petrol prices as well as groceries price and almost everything else, I find that it is harder to meet ends. The inflation is getting higher but there is not much different in our salary! I have to start doing budgeting and planning with my expenses every month or else I would run into debt soon!

One thing I really have to cut down is shopping as well as buying unnecessary stuffs that keeps me happy. Yes, cutting down on retail therapy!!!

How many times have you bought something which you thought it is a good buy until you saw another place selling it for few bucks cheaper? And you go #$%^&*($)(!*&@^%#!! (ok, maybe only applies for girls). 

Or sometimes you buy something that you think a little too pricey. Then you were told that the other place is selling for an even higher price which makes your purchase seems to a worthy one! And you feel the satisfaction swelling inside you and pat yourself at the back, good buy! 

Or you have the need to get something coz it is so cheap, although do not need it right now. I know only girls do it. Or only me. And retail therapy does make me happier and chase away the blues. However small my purchase could be. Maybe a bottle of cutex at the fraction of price or a hair clip or something cute (but useless). 

Paying money for something that I can bring back feels good. At least at the time of transaction. Doesn’t matter it hides behind de closet or inside the drawer for months or even longer.  

Even writing about it feels a little good. Yeah, maybe I should write instead of buy.

My brother just sms me yesterday to make sure that I am free and available on 24^th August. He is finally graduating and getting his degree!!! Yupeee!! Finally all of us got a degree now and my parents must be relieved!!! =)

We have been anxiously waiting for him to graduate as he has been taking his own sweet time while working part time! To celebrate his convocation, I am thinking of getting him a nice and cool Sector watches.

Finally, I am really happy for him! Completing one important phase of his life. But of course, we do not stop studying and learning in our journey of life!

Can you believe that in my previous company they have an Xbox 360 in the games room? Yes, there is a games room with some other games too. But many are hooked to this Xbox 360 which is really fun and addictive! 

I am considering to get one for my own home but I know nothing much about it, well, except for playing it! What are my options and what model should I get? After reading the Shopwiki Xbox 360 guide, I think I do have a better idea what it is all about and what to look for. 

At Shopwiki, you can find the latest gadget at the best price as they do have price comparison from few online stores which show you the price instantly. I think I would like the Xbox 360 HD DVD Player and a cool Abduction skin for it!
