Izaac’s “Has”
Izaac’s expressing through speech is slower than Amilie. Though I knew that it’s normal that boy picks up the skills slower than a girl. I was a bit worried sometimes. Recently, he had started to express himself with “?” - Has/Got. He is more willing to speak up when we told him the food he want to eat.
Here’s some of the conversation with him in mandarin.
Every time I see Izaac smiling at me and wearing some clothes that suits him, I would ask him whether he is handsome. Read more
Working Day And Night
It’s been a busy week for me. Coming to the end of the project soon means working day and night. Had been working throughout the whole of last week. Where we need to go to work at the wee hours.
We had to wake up in the middle of the night and probably to start work from 4.30am. Time is not fixed. And everyone probably get a bit of crappy after disturbed sleeping routines.
The first night that I had to go back to work at 1030pm. Amilie asked me why do I have to go to work. keke
Finally weekend came and I could take a break before another battle with the sleeping bugs began.
Easy Way To A Perfect Home
Getting your dream home can be daunting task for many home owners and especially so for those who are first time home owners. There are many things that one will not know until he or she move in. It is only after we moved in that my wife and I found out that certain things should be installed or should be there. For example an extra toilet will be handy. I knew that from first hand experiences because my very first house which I am still living in today is not perfect in many ways especially the toilet part. ?
Given the nature of housing in Singapore of which over 80% of Singaporeans lived in public housing, I guess that pre-designed home plans which is also known as House Plans or floor plans is not going to be much use to Singaporeans unless you stay in landed properties.

Plastic Lumber Outdoor Furniture
Green is the in thing nowadays. The headlines these days have everything to do with global warming, saving the earth by using less electricity and fuels. The focus is on being environmental friendly and a lot of manufacturers and basically businesses have started heeding the strong messages and signals coming their way through various channels.
As consumers ourselves, we have to play our part in saving the earth by using products that are environment friendly. For example instead of getting a new plastic bag every time you go shopping, try to reuse paper bags instead. Another way is to consume less electricity through usage of energy saving appliances.
Even businesses and companies do have a part to play even if they do not sell green products. For example, some schools and companies have started using outdoor furniture made from recycled plastic lumber in my local area. Besides looking great, these outdoor furniture is green as well because of the recycled plastic lumber that are being used. I have personally seen outdoor furniture made from plastic lumber and the truth is you can hardly tell it apart from furniture made from real wood until you touch them.
If you are interested in getting some outdoor furniture for your home or office, you can check out Stonecrest Furniture which is an online retailer of outdoor furniture. There is a lot of outdoor furniture to suit the needs of everyone and best of all you can play your part in saving the earth by opting for the plastic lumber outdoor furniture products.

Cafe Cartel @ Junction 8
We went for lunch at Swensen’s @ Junction 8 for lunch few weeks ago. It was a $9.50 nett lunch set meal. The meal includes bread, soup of the day, main course and a drink.
Too bad there was only 2 set of main courses to choose from:

The soup of the day taste like any normal cream soup.
[image:627:c:s=1:l=g]
The sauce of the fish is too creamy for me. I had to push the sauce to a side as I couldn’t take the creaminess any more.
[image:628:c:s=1:l=g]
Some of my friends took the spagetti but it look really really creamy. Truthfully, those who didn’t order that was quite grateful as we feel that it was very creamy.
Guess for this $9.50 set lunch meal, I didn’t really enjoy that much.
Sick Week
Finally, Izaac is feeling better. But now it’s my turn to fall sick. I had started coughing a lot this few days. Cough till a bit breathless too. Thought I was going to get a lung infection like Izaac. So Saturday, I decided to see the doctor and was prescribed with some cough mixture. Slept a lot and guess I had rest well. Feeling my coughing is getting better now.
Guess now I have to refrain from sharing food with the 2 kids. In case, the catch the virus again.
Raising Capital For Your Business
Raising capital for a business is one of the major difficulties that stop many budding entrepreneurs from realizing their dreams of running their businesses. Some have it lucky and got their capital from family and friends, the rest will struggle to raise enough capital to even get their businesses started. This is a very common issue that affects a lot of budding entrepreneurs and even experienced entrepreneurs.
There are many sources in which a budding entrepreneur can get their funding from. The easiest one and which is already mentioned is from family and friends. Borrowing or getting investments from family and friends is quite a dilemma because in business nothing is guaranteed and in the worst case scenario if the business fails, the relationship between you and your family and friends will likely be deteriorated.
Another source of funding is through business loans from banks and this is one which I highly recommended personally as the issue of straining relationships is not present here. However, most banks require you to have some form of collateral before they even consider your loan application. But there are some banks that offer Unsecured Business Loans in which you can consider taking a look. Another thing is banks are not that forgiving when it to loan repayments. This is something you have to take into consideration when taking a secured or unsecured business loan from banks.
If you are looking at the option of securing a business loan from banks or other financial institutions, you can check out Merchant Advisors. Merchant Advisors is an industry leader in providing payment processing solutions to merchants and businesses. Besides that, you can also find information and apply for financing such as unsecured business loans, Franchise Financing and other forms of Merchant Loans over at their website.

Be Careful When You Sent In Your Laptop For Repair
A lot of people are very careless when it comes to protecting their personal and sensitive information. There are many cases of identity thefts, credit cards frauds, internet banking frauds all the time but it seemed that no one really put serious thoughts into protecting and making sure that their personal information are not compromised till it is too late.
Recently, I have a very frustrating incident in which I realized the important of protecting my personal and sensitive information. I have to send my laptop to a local service center for repair. Before I sent my laptop for repair, I ensure that I have all my information lock all and encrypt in a folder, clear away all my saved passwords, caches, browsing history and so on to prevent people from accessing my personal information. Thinking that this was enough, I sent in my laptop.
