Summer is definitely here – found a tick on the kid’s hair behind her neck today after she went into the greenhouse of her grandfather’s this afternoon.  Need to get some pest products from  http://www.pestproductsonline.com  before the black flies starts swarming the backyard. I loved summer – but I definitely do not like those bugs – those evil ones are terrible to keep away, but with some help from pest products, we can definitely try to have a good summer. I’m already feeling all itchy talking about pest controls.  I love the gardening, so if you are like myself – get some good pest control products quick.

Violin Concert Inspires

Author: CCW  //  Category: Amusing/Musing, Entertainment, Money/Investment, Music, Shopping, Useful Links, Useful Tip

We recently received tickets to the Toronto Symphony Orchestra  and was so inspired by the violinist Pekka Kuusisto that the spouse wanted to look at some  great violas at wwbw  as soon as we got home, so that he can encouraged our kid to take up the instrument. Listen to the interview yourself and see how he interprets the composer and you probably be as amazed as I am with him.  I’ve always loved how romantic this instrument sound but I know that it’s not easy to pick up this instrument at all, certainly not on those little fingers and it does take a lot of determination to want to practice all the time.  When we were younger, we didn’t have the opportunity that our kids have today, but it doesn’t mean that we cannot appreciate good music when we do see or hear one, so it’s only natural for parents to want to see their children play an instrument not only to appreciate the music but also to teach the child discipline. I wished I was living in Toronto because I know that it can really inspire even the tone death to pick up the violin from going to the symphony often.

A new hair style for Lin Xiawei – the girl who said she is in no hurry to rise up in rank at TVB recently.  I think she looked really skinny here too – probably lost weight for the new tv sitcom.  I think we are so used to seeing her in short hair – she is also the cousin of Raymond Lam.

DIY Woodwork

When you have as many shoes as I do, you left the spouse with no choice but to put up make shift shoe racks for you.  This was what happened to me just last week, the spouse was upset he wasn’t getting any space in our shoe storage box, he decided he will make a makeshift shoe rack just for himself.  But I do like a man who is handy – so very gungho, he set up his wood bench and  c clamp  and got working.  Of course, I thought he was going to come up with something huge, seeing what a big deal he made in the garage while setting up.  And he did get himself some storage space with just a few minutes of work – and he said that was good enough – haha!  my very handy spouse – gotta love them!

Too Young To Die : Huang Wen Yong

Author: CCW  //  Category: Asia Gossips, Entertainment, Shocking/Bizarre, TV Shows

When I first heard about the passing of Huang Wen Yong I was really shocked.  Even though I’m living in Canada – I still very much follow the news from home.  Singapore will always be home to me – ask any immigrant – wherever they may be – their hometown is where they grew up.

I grew up watching Huang with Xiang Yun in the Awakening – their first collaboration with MediaCorp – of course, then it wasn’t known as Media Corp.  And yes, Huang didn’t seems as old as i thought he was – and definitely too young to die.  It’s just too sad even for me – who don’t know him personally.  But my respect to Huang and condolences to his family.

Aaron and Lynn Break Up

Author: CCW  //  Category: Amusing/Musing, Asia Gossips, Entertainment

7 years into a relationship is a long time.  Many years ago, I didn’t wanna break up with my a- hole boyfriend because we were together for a long time – I thought it was a waste of all my time and effort with him but little did I know at that time, I should have left him the minute I met him.

So I can understand why Lynn Hung would still wanna break up even though Aaron Kwok and her had been together for this long.  But it is especially no surprise for entertainers like them to get together and break up – afterall, their lives are so busy and if they ain’t a perfect match – why force it right.

Wishing both Aaron and Lynn a better future – apart.

Fatt Gor Going International Again

Author: CCW  //  Category: Amusing/Musing, Asia Gossips, Entertainment, Hollywood Gossips

Fatt Gor married a very smart wife some 20 years ago – and because she insisted that he learns English and speak them fluently, Hollywood directors who are currently looking to collaborate with China – look for Fatt Gor first when they have a leading role for a Chinese.

Fatt Gor and Liam Neeson will be in a movie together really soon – I read – as railroad workers who worked in the States sometime during the 19th Century. Filming will be done mostly in China as it’s not just a investment from Hollywood but of China too.  It would be a very interesting movie I would say – so look out for it.

Heiress Florinda Ho Asked To Pay Up For Break Up

Author: CCW  //  Category: Amusing/Musing, Asia Gossips, Entertainment, Shocking/Bizarre

Rumor has it that Joel wants $10 million for break up fee – and this picture was taken in good times and there was plans to get married too.  So sad right?  But I didn’t think that Joel should have given up his career just to be boyfriend of an heiress right?  Anyone doing that would just look bad  – it it a boy or a girl – where is your pride and sense of worth if you do that?

3 years after much boo – ha and speculation over Joel’s real intention of the relationship – everyone else is still saying that he was after her money – but I think Joel would have made good in the acting industry on his own too – really there was no need for him to go after Florinda for money don’t you think?  but hey ! there is always – two sides to a coin eh.

Sleeping in separate rooms for now during some recent vacations – Karena who is only 18 years old when the couple first dated is an actress and model who met Raymond in a movie they had collaborated together.

Now what would I think if my daughter was dating a 33 years old man?  well, I don’t think I would like it very much – so much older right?  but some mothers wouldn’t mind because he is after all a movie star – but Karena isn’t bad looking herself – surely, she can catch a bigger fish when she is older right?  Oh well, to each his/her own right?

Easter Concert

Author: CCW  //  Category: Amusing/Musing, Entertainment, Shopping, Useful Links

We are attending an Easter Concert in church this weekend and the nephew had asked for a  talkbox  for Easter because of the concert.  So we went searching for a good one – before Easter, so that he can use it during the concert.  Easter may not be as huge a deal as Christmas but children here still expects some sort of gift.  Today, our store had been busy too because of the Easter gifting from parents to kids – and the older the kids, the more money is being spent on them. I try not to spend too much money on my own kid during Easter, so it’s only chocolate eggs and a toy for her, I’m glad she isn’t asking for anything expensive yet.  But I am looking forward to the Easter concert at church for the youth in church had been practicing for a long time now.  And as for my nephew’s Easter present, I figured I should reward him for putting so much time and effort into making this Easter concert in church a success.
