The Most Reliable Shop To Repair Macbook Laptop iPad iPhone iMac and Logic Board

Posted on March 29, 2022 by Admin

Gadgets and computers make our lives easier and save us time. If you own any of them, you would know how upsetting it can be when we cannot use them. Just an example, during a recent heavy downpour in the Klang Valley, electricity was cut off for more than 6 hours in my house. This means there was no Wi-Fi and everyone at home could not watch Netflix on the iPad. For 6 hours, everyone was moody and grumpy. I was at work during that time and the lightning struck the cable lines which resulted in a huge surge in voltage. My boss’s MacBook was damaged that day.

It was so unfortunate and the next day, we frantically tried to find a repair shop that can repair his MacBook immediately but alas it took a few days to find one and he was not satisfied with the result. Also, it cost him a bomb to repair his essential Macbook. If only we discovered Mecnote earlier. It is an IT repair shop that was begun operating in 2015.

She Tested Positive

Posted on March 27, 2022 by Admin

I blogged about my stressful week last Saturday and this is the story. I was a wreck about 2 weeks ago when Ashley tested positive. She started feeling a little under the weather on 1oth March when I saw her switching on the aircond in her room around evening. Usually she would only switched on the aircond just before bed. She told that she was feeling hot and we all thought maybe it’s due to the hot spell we are experiencing now.

Then on the 12th March (Saturday), she told me she was feeling tired after we came back from the park nearby. Later that day, she said she felt warm and her temperature was around 37 to 37 degree C. Gave her an Actifast before bed and she was ok the next morning. She did wake up with some runny nose but it stopped afterwards. Gave her a nasal self test kit and it was negative. Then the next day which was a Monday, she’s fine until the evening when she said her head felt heavy. I quickly got her to do another nasal self test and it showed positive immediately. My heart sank but I was pretty calm. She did another saliva test just to confirm and it showed positive too.

The silly girl was crying and kept saying sorry. I told her it’s not her fault and she doesn’t have to be sorry. She knows how careful we have been all these while. We never go out to the mall or dine out since we came back from Ipoh on 4th February after the Chinese New Year celebration. That was when the cases started to escalate.

I quickly sent her to her to quarantine in her room and began sanitizing the house. Everything was a blur at that time and I couldn’t even think straight. Luckily I have my group of friends who calmed me down and offer all the support I need. Whenever I am not sure of anything, they were there to give me advice. My family was very concerned too and my sisters sent over a care package for Ashley and me.

This is a list of things that I got ready for Ashley during her 7 day quarantine:-

Cough syrup for dry cough
Expectorant for phlegmy cough (the phlegm came later)
Betadine Throat Spray
Flu meds
Actifast
Salt water with lemon juice for gargling throat daily ( 3x a day)
Vitamin C
Vitamin D
Probiotics

She was still feeling fine on Day 1 of the quarantine which was on the 14th March. The symptoms started to show on Day 2. She had runny nose, cough, sore throat and low grade fever.

On Day 3 and Day 4, she started to feel lethargic and nauseous. All the other symptoms were reducing. Despite being in quarantine, she was still attending online classes and didn’t really rest. She said she dozed off during some lessons in between.

Day 5, she tested negative on using the nasal self test kit. Then all of a sudden, the runny nose, cough and sore throat went away. She still felt tired and nauseous. On Sunday, she tested again because the school needs to see the test kit before she can return. Her 7-day quarantine ended on Sunday.

She only came out of her room on Monday morning when it was time to school. She misses her dogs very much and kept talking to them.

During her quarantine, she has been asking me to take photos of them and sent to her. She even video called them.

Off to school she goes.

Today is already one week after she is out of quarantine and she still feels nauseous and gets tired easily. I got her the anti-nausea pill from the pharmacy and she feels better after taking it.

Comfortable Shoes That You Don’t Want To Take Off

Posted on March 23, 2022 by Admin

If you have been following my blog, you would know that I love shoes. I love buying shoes and I cannot get enough of them. My mum who has seen my shoe collection said I should really build a larger shoe cabinet to store them because my shoes have taken over hubs’ space.

After my not-too-recent shoe incident, during Christmas to be exact, I have been looking for a pair of black heels. I have blogged about that incident here. Black shoes are highly versatile and they go with everything. Recently the good people from Lucca Vudor sent me a pair of black heel sandals. Talk about the Law of Attraction! I am over the moon because this wide-toe box shoe is my favourite shoe design.

I love this strappy block heel shoe because it is breathable and comfortable to wear. Made with lambskin leather, it also features a special padded insole that is cushiony soft. I wore this heel to the office two days ago and it was so comfortable that I didn’t even feel like I was wearing a pair of heels. Best of all, I don’t even feel tired after wearing this pair of heels from 8.30am to 5pm. I am glad that I did not get any blisters at all, unlike some new shoes that I wore in the past. The soft leather just adjusts to the shape of my feet immediately. I can tell that this Sarai heel is made from high-quality leather.

If you are on the lookout for a pair of affordable leather shoes, you may want to check out Lucca Vudor. You can purchase the shoes online from their website or walk into their store located in Atria Shopping Gallery. Below is the address:-

Atria Shopping Gallary G-15
Jalan SS 22/23, Damansara Jaya, 47400
Pretaling Jaya,Selangor, Malaysia
Opening Hours: 11.00AM TO 7.00PM

Lucca Vudor’s shoe collection is specially designed for comfort using top-quality Italian calfskin. All their shoes feature special padded cushion insoles for added support and lift.

A few pairs of shoes from Lucca Vudor caught my eyes and I think I am going to check them out at Atria soon.

This is Shanelle A068-135 and this pair of fisherman sandal design is trending hard this season.

I also like this sporty Fantasia leather sneaker. It has an elevated sole that can add inches to my height.

After A Stressful Week

Posted on March 19, 2022 by Admin

This week has been a stressful one for me. That explains the lack of post on my blog. Things are better now and I will blog about it in a few days’ time. In the meantime, I ordered some keto food for myself to de-stress.

I got myself 2 sets of keto scones and 1 slice of keto buttercream cake from Kiara Cakes yesterday. I was actually shocked to see the size of the keto food. They are so small but more expensive than regular scones and cakes. Boo Hoo! Well I guess there is no choice unless I bake them myself.

Wish keto food is not that expensive. Anyway, it was good to indulge in some of these. I deserve them after a harrowing week.

I Need These To Keep Me Going When I Work

Posted on March 8, 2022 by Admin

I have this thing for inhalers and rollers. It all started with the Peppermint Field inhalers that I discovered during my trips to Bangkok. A whiff of the peppermint smell can calm my nerves. Every time when I go to Bangkok, I would stock up. What is it with menthol inhalers in Thailand? There are available in all pharmacies and also 7-11.

I read online that the Thais use them daily to cover up the nasty smell in the city or to mask the pollution. The inhalers and balms can revive the senses and increase energy.

I also like those balms that give a very strong minty and burning sensation like the Axe brand medicated oil. I discovered the Thai brand – Siang Pure Balm which also give me instant relief. I found them from a seller at the market.

He also brings in other types of inhalers. The bottom of these tubes is a small compartment with the oils in liquid form. You can drop some oil into the inhaler when the smell is not so strong anymore. The oils can also be used to relieve mosquito bites.

My stash of stress-reliever and pick-me-ups when I am at the office or at home. They are great to keep me calm when I buy bitcoin with cash. Need to focus on the task.

Banana Paratha Pastry Using Air Fryer

Posted on February 28, 2022 by Admin

If you don’t know already, I am a fan of TikTok. I love checking out this app whenever I am free because it is very entertaining. I get lots of hair DIY ideas, health tips, awesome dance tutorials and last but not least, cooking tips. You’ll be surprised that there are many cool cooking tips and recipes on TikTok. I love to find simple and easy to cook recipes and would try them out. The latest one is this Banana pastry made using airfryer.

The ingredients include banana (of course), frozen Paratha, an egg and sesame. So when I have 2 bananas left yesterday that were turning soft, I decided to try out this recipe with Ashley.

Took out the frozen paratha. Do not defrost it because the paratha becomes soft real fast.

Peel a banana and roll it over the banana. Tuck in the ends and then slice it into bite-size pieces. Next, coat them with egg wash and arrange them in the airfryer.

Some funny looking banana paratha we got there *chuckle* Ashley didn’t roll it firmly.

We put them into the airfryer and cooked for 15 minutes at 180 degree Celsius and that’s all. Ashley said they are good and hubs said they are very sweet. Must be the ripened banana. Try it out if you are a banana fan or roti fan.

Current Mood

Feel like buying some shoes but I have nowhere to go. Spotted these and they have been on my mind since last week.

Low heel slides and I like the one in brown.

Another low heel slide. I think this is Zara-inspired.

Been feeling anxious and restless seeing the high number of cases every day. I guess shopping calms my nerves or maybe I just can’t stop shopping. Actually, I have lost a few pairs of shoes because I didn’t get a chance to wear them during the numerous lockdowns and when I finally wore them, the shoes just came apart.

Check out what happened during Christmas Eve. Then just before Chinese New Year, I wanted to bring one of my favorite heels to Ipoh so I tested it by wearing the pair of shoes out and you know what? The straps came off. This is of course upsetting. Darn Covid!

So I guess I deserve some new shoes?

Most Accurate Covid Test Self-Test Kits In Malaysia

Posted on February 19, 2022 by Admin

For the past 2 weeks, the number of positive cases have skyrocketed in Malaysia. There were 27k positive cases yesterday. I usually don’t stock up on Covid-19 Self Test Kits but will do now because it is better to do self test for peace of mind if anyone has been a close contact and etc. Many pharmacies are out of self-test kits when I went to get some to standby. I wanted to get the 2 brands that were recommended by a pharmacist last year. According to her, these 2 brands have an overall sensitivity of 90%. This means that they are catching roughly 90% of people who are infected with the virus.

Luckily I managed to Grab the Covid Self Test Kits from Good Medic Pharmacy which is located in the next neighbourhood. Below are some of the most reliable Covid Self Test Kit Malaysia.

They are the Salixum Saliva and Nasal Swab and ProDetect (saliva/nasal) Covid 19 Antigen Rapid Self-Test Kits. The Salixum used to cost RM8.90 each but now it has gone up to RM11.90. Pro Detect is also about RM8 each. Both brands are made in Malaysia.

While going through the KKM-approved list of self test kit, Salixum is listed but not ProDetect. According to the pharmacist, it is better to get the higher range self-test kits (above RM6) because they are more reliable. Have you been stocking up too?

Chinese New Year Celebration Is Over

Posted on February 9, 2022 by Admin

Time sure whizzes by. Just a week ago, I was so looking forward to going back to Ipoh to celebrate The Chinese New Year with my family and relatives and today is already the Day 9 of the Lunar New Year. I went back to work on Tuesday as it was a good day for my animal sign.

For Reunion dinner, we had Korean BBQ in Taman Segar, Cheras with hubs’ family. We went to the same restaurant – Dae Bak Korean Restaurant 2 years back for reunion dinner too. We love the food there because they are delicious and affordable. This restaurant is run by a Korean couple and their son was there to help out and we had a nice time chatting with their son who speaks Mandarin and English.

Missy and I took the train back to Ipoh on Day 1 of Chinese New Year as hubs has to stay back to look after the 2 rascals. Unlike me, he doesn’t have any relatives in Ipoh except for an uncle so it was fine that he did not go back to Ipoh. I felt the train ride was super long that day because it took almost 3 hours to reach Ipoh with the many stops it had to take along the way. Perhaps I was too excited to go back and see my relatives again.

We had the usual gathering at my aunt’s house and it was great to see everyone again. Later that night, we had our annual family dinner with my dad, mum and siblings at Super HLT. Food was delicious and because dad booked the 8pm slot for the dinner, the whole place was almost empty except for a few tables. Less crowd is always a good idea in this pandemic time.

Day 2 was spent watching the lion dance performance at Bedrock Hotel and then meeting up with my good friends at a cafe. On that night, my brother-in-law cooked some ribs and we all had dinner at Bedrock Hotel, while being entertained by their singer friend. It was a fun night.

Day 3 was spent checking out of the Mu Hotel where missy and I stayed and then having lunch before we took the 3pm train home. Our Balik Kampung was short but sweet.
