Advertlets is just too infectious!!

Well, well.. Advertlets. Ahem, Yes, Adverlets.. Gosh, unbashfully I can proudly say.. Yes, I'm infected. I had a good look at http://www.advertlets.com/ today, yet again.. For someone who isn't easily converted..hahaha.. Blame all my blogger friendslah.. They ALL have it on their blog.. Wah lao eh.. being in Singapore, I didn't see the point, at that time. BUT I can't help it if I closed my eyes and I can see it all the time.. and the ads, they do inspire me to click click click.. I mean, what can I do.. Colour fascinates me, and they do have some of the nicest ads too. After all, I did work in the design industry for some time. Advertisements, design and layout were the only thing I breathe, day-in day-out. I LOVE to imagine I'm in the middle of discussion of their marketing strategy, objectives, and their concepts. What a dream world I'm still in..

Not being Bashful, How about Cash-full!
Hey.. before I also forget, advertlets are a good way to make money too! Through product reviews, and of course when your online friends read your blogs, clicks on your ads. After all, these are supposed to be informative, ALRIGHTY! C'mon, come join me now.. Aaaah... now you all know the secret agenda of this errr post..hahaha what say you...

It's raining $$$, Hallelujah!




Networking inspires my Passion to write
So what inspired me to review, write or add Advertlets.. um ah hmm.. I do blog, don't I? And I belong to a happy group of members from Penang Hokkien podcast after all. We share alot of stories, news, and the special twang of northern hokkien across the causeway.

I am just addicted to them, to blogging and love to know what goes on in their lives, though we've never met, really. Malaysians are really supportive of Advertlets. And they are really generous too. Otherwise, I'd know next to nothing about all these. The most I'd have on my blog would be just pictures and my writeouts. Maybe that's why I am so active in blogging. It's another way to be in contact.. Advertlets is very Asian, and definitly going global, every pixel inch of the way.. What more, you get lots of information about the products, it's really an eye opener. Next best thing, Advertlets is now in Singapore!!! Yippee!!

Going Nuts Over Green Bags

There had been an extensive publicity about carrying the Green Bags lately in Singapore.. The supermarkets and some retail shops encouraged the public to be conscious in their usage of plastics bags, and recycle if necessary.

On the first Wednesday of the month, there will not be any plastic bags issued to shoppers and if you do need a bag, you need to pay 10 cents per bag. Ikea itself do not issue plastic bags but you can pay for their plastic bags or buy a large recycle bag for your own use.

A local supermarket will give a 10 cents discount if you bring your own bag for every $10 you spent. It may sound like a little amount but it is alot of effort as this reduce the usage of plastic bags (which a conscious effort) and for every 10 cents you save, you could have saved alot when you stretch it over a long period of time.. Of course, I'd rather donate the 10 cents to charity every time i shop. If everyone were to do the same, we are helping to save the world - mindful in energy conservation and charity as well. There was a recent 'No spaghetti day' recently as wheat prices have escalated. Well if Singapore can do with a No Plastic Bags day, how about other ideas.. like:

No TV day
No Electricity Day (for domestic)
No Air condition Day
No Meat Day (Chinese do practise that, Catholics have no meat day on Fridays)
No Cars Day (Singapore has such a day, where you leave your car at home and take public transport for that day)

Well these are just some examples of how we can cut down on things or help to make our world a better place if we put a little bit of effort. I mean individually, it is not much not to watch TV or turn on the air con for a day but just imagine, if the world were to practise that, how much energy conservation we would be saving for the WHOLE WORLD!

I am a Green Bag collector. If I see anything I fancy, I'd be buying the whole range in different colours.. Can't help it.. hahaha.. Most of the collection I owned are contributions from my best friend, C. So if you do go anywhere and see one, think of me and my collection.. and do pick an extraordinary one for me...hahahah

Alls well ends well

I woke up feeling just GREEAAAT! The exams have come to an end. I can look forward to the school holidays in two weeks time. It was a good feeling., a happy one indeed.

When I am in a good mood, I'd be in the kitchen, either cooking or baking. Well, I decided to bake this morning. I had my creamery butter and my flour all already bought since the Raya week.. But that was my most trying time, with Kakak on holiday. I've go my caster sugar also and all that vanilla and my cocoa powder is a must have. The only thing missing was my fresh eggs. After dropping the girls to school I drop by the grocers for my fresh eggs. And some colourful sprinkly. The girls will surely love these. So busy this morning baking away and of course occasionally checking on my chat messages.. hahaha

My Favourite Recipes By Ellice Handy

Does anyone have this book? Do you know where can I get this book or still in stock in some old bookshop?

This one tat I have is a 1960 edition. I am sharing it with Mum in Penang, Sis in Selangor and myself here in Singapore.

It is really old and tatty and I really would like to get a new copy. It was published by MPH Publications, and printed in Singapore. But I cannot get it because the book stores dont have them! Sigh..
