Beautiful Great Priced Furniture

Leave a comment

I was looking for bedroom furniture online since I am thinking of redecorating my room and wanted to get some ideas. I stumbled upon a website called Great Priced Furniture which is the largest North Carolina furniture online retailer.

I was impressed with the collection of furniture from bedroom to baby furniture, living room to kitchen and dining room furniture.

On Great Priced Furniture, I could shop by furniture category, manufacturer or collections. It’s very easy to navigate and seamless. I love the quality and creative designs of their selection and it is great news that they provide international shipping. Yay!

With so many beautiful collections, it is going to take me quite a while to decide on which to buy!

ReviewMe Opens Up Marketplace

Leave a comment

ReviewMe, the used-to-be exclusive blog for pay marketplace has finally opened up to admit almost every blogger into their market. This is good news for me. I have registered with them way before their launch and I tried to submit my blogs when they launched but my blogs did not qualify. Well, how could they when my Technorati rank, which is one of the statistics that are factored in, could not be pulled due to the f@rked Technorati reading. Unfortunately, it is STILL not rectified. I think I should just give up.

I am happy that they have finally opened for the small time blogger. Well, this is what I am thinking since I do no see any Google Page Rank improvement on my blogs.

From what I see, ReviewMe’s new marketplace system is better than the one which required us to bid for a review. Bah! That’s just wasting time, like I said.

Plus ReviewMe let’s us book an unlimited number of campaigns and they allow us a week or more to submit our post. Isn’t that great?

Adorable Baby Shower Decorations & Supplies

Leave a comment

I was helping my colleague look for baby shower supplies as she was busy with work and left the preparation for the party to the last minute, when I came across Party Pail. My, am I impressed with the many baby shower decorations and supplies!

My colleague had a hard time deciding on the theme for the baby shower. I suggested the adorable Noah’s Ark baby shower kit.

My colleague was not satisfied as she wanted something pink. So we continued browsing the website and both agreed on Lil’ Princess Baby Shower.

Just look how cute this set is!! The best thing about theme sets from Party Pail is that everything is included in the kit including the invitation cards. We could even add on individual items of the same theme to cater for a larger party!

Maxis To Turn Private

Leave a comment

With this move, I wonder what is in store for the subscribers. I was a Time subscriber when Maxis took over the company. From a cheap mobile plan, I was forced to upgrade to an expensive prepaid plan. Those days, prepaid was very expensive. So I switched to Celcom. It is not that Celcom is cheap, but then I am a small user and I have no complains so far.

A friend of mine is a subscriber of both Maxis and Celcom mobile broadband packages and according to him, Celcom is faster. When he streams music through online radio stations, there is no buffering at all. He could switch from one station to another like tuning in to FM radio stations. The same could not be said for Maxis. Moreover, Celcom’s coverage is wider than Maxis. When he visited me, I used his Maxis line on his laptop and oh dear, it was worse than a 56K dial up connection.

I was just about ready to tear my hair out.

So without public funds to utilise by turning from a public listed company to a private entity, will the services of Maxis ever improve further or will it go stagnant, or worse, deteriorate. Time will tell, I guess.

Because I Was Bored…

Leave a comment

I thought I was the only one to turn to online videos, joke sites and other interesting sites BUT I just stumbled upon a blog by the name of Because I Was Bored… . The owner of this blog has compiled some of internet’s latest, funniest, weirdest video clips from various video sharing and humor sites to share with us, to “unbore” us, to entertain us just so we do not have to search these funnies out by ourselves.

I have already bookmarked this website and I feel that with all these interesting content on one blog, it is easier for us to surf to especially when we are bored at the office. Shhh! Don’t tell the boss, ok??

There is this video that I would not have come across otherwise, which is of a 3-year-old solving the Rubik’s cube. I have played the Rubic’s cube for years and still can’t even solve it and I don’t think I ever will because I have given up hope on myself.

But here in the video, is a 3-year-old doing it.

I also enjoyed one of the videos which is a 30-minute compilation of some of classic cartoons. This video is great and it brought out a lot of good memories for me. What a great site this is. His boredom has cheered up my days almost every day!

Boot Camps For Troubled Teens

Leave a comment

A friend read my blog post on troubled teens and confessed that her son is getting too difficult for her and her husband to handle. She asked me if I know of a solution. Well, I am no counselor and I feel bad that I do not know her true situation because I do not have children of my own, what I can do is to only recommend to her what I know from other friends who also have difficult teenage children.

A colleague of mine was so desperate trying to right the life and behavior of her son that she sent him off to one of those Troubled Teen Boot Camps that she came across on the internet.

According to her, there are many boot camps for troubled teens and it is important to find the right one for the teenager. In her case, she selected one that specializes in behavior modification.

Her initial fear was that her son will be worse off being with people his own age and suffering from similar angst but she found out that being together and getting through the program was in fact more beneficial than she had thought.

Besides selecting the right boot camp, one also has to take into account the cost and length of stay. That’s why it is important to talk to people in the know like Boot Camps For Troubled Teens and they will recommend the best boot camp for the struggling teen.

Few Malaysians Satisfied With Their Sex Life

Leave a comment

I read with amusement on the Durex Sexual Wellbeing Global Survey 2007/08 report that fewer than two in five (38%) Malaysians are satisfied with their sex life.

I know Durex conducts this survey, or a variation of it annually. However, doing a survey like this, I wonder how many respondents will actually answer the questionnaire truthfully. What is the margin of error that is factored in? How accurate can a survey be when data was only collected from 26,000 respondents across 26 countries, where only 1,026 were Malaysians?

I am not sure if any of my friends participated in this survey but if they did, I know they surely will 9394 and give replies far off from the truth, maybe they are too shy to tell the truth, maybe for fun or maybe just to stand a chance of winning a prize in the lucky draw.

Perhaps Durex should take a look at how they collect their data. I would suggest giving a survey a six-month period for people to respond and only conduct a survery every three years or so. I think this will better show the trend of people’s sex lives.
