Earth Day Celebration

The first Earth Day celebration was held on April 22, 1970, in San Francisco and was subsequently declared an annual event by the United Nations.

Today is the day, therefore many local communities and NGOs organise all sorts of green activities to commemorate the annual event as part of their commit­ment to promote the preservation and maintenance of Mother Earth.

If you love your country, please do support it. Help the earth, to give your next generation a better environment to live it!

Career woman

My 2nd sister is a career woman before marriage and her pay is quite high. However after her second baby arrival, she is force to leave her career and become a stay-at-home mummy. Her hubby refuses to let babysister take care both his boys, so he ask the wife to resign and stay at home taking care of them. I am surprise when my sister told me she is resign soon. To me, she is a career woman and has good future in her company. It will be a waste if she just resigns like that. Well, that is up to her decision, outsider like us cannot change her mind. Perhaps when her boys become older a bit, she can get another admin careers to work with too. am I right?

Wedding

People nowadays prefer simple yet memorable wedding reception. If situation allow, I think majority of them will kick out traditional wedding way such as having dinner or lunch function or follow old folks’ old thinking. If you will follow old folks’ way, then you got to do lot of things cum preparation, not to forget the money too!

If time can turn back, I think hubby and I will opt for Cancun Destination Wedding after the marriage registration; instead of doing all of troublesome things for our Chinese reception ceremony. At that time, I have to listen to my mom. However I did slash out lot of listed things from her list. Lucky finally she accept my suggestion, so less argument too when come to function date.

Crispy Roasted Pork

Whole blog hop, found this crispy roasted pork recipe. This dish is the favorite dish for most Chinese, including my family members too.

Here is the recipe and methods that I copied from Mommy Moon:

Ingredients :

-Pork belly with skin

-White rice vinegar

-salt

-five spice powder

Method :

1. Wash the pork belly and pat very dry.

2. Poke holes on the skin with a sharp rod, I don't have any rods so I did it with a fork but make sure it can poke through the skin. This is to release the oil when heating the meat.

3. Rub the whole pork with salt, then follow by five spice powder.

4. Brush vinegar on the skin ( only for the skin )

5. Put the pork on a plate ( uncovered the pork) and place it in the fridge, not freezer.

6. Let the pork marinate for 3 days. Repeat step 4 every morning and at night through out this 3 days.

7. On the forth day, it is the time to roast the pork. Preheat your oven at 200 degree Celsius and roast 15 minutes. Then turn the meat and roast for another 15 minutes.

From the way she describe, seem it is pretty simple ya. Shall try it one day!

HGH

HGH stands for Human Growth Hormone. Frankly I am not really understood this medical term. Thanks to search engine from internet, I got to know more about it now. I came to know that we can actually increase the levels of HGH in our bodies. However it must be done carefully, and under medical supervision. HGH replacement should begin at about the age of 30 years, but HGH replacement can be beneficial at any age above 30.

Some of the HGH therapy includes:

- reduce excess body fat

- increase muscles mass

- reduce skin aging and wrinkles

- increase bone density

- Strengthen the immune system and many more.

If you wish to know more about HGH releasers, do search from internet now.

New kipnap way

Yesterday my SIL told me a very new way of kidnapping case that happened in Serum, Muar now. Shock to hear that though.

Kidnapper will just snatch kids who hang around at road side, then call the family to pay them money. The money is not a huge amount, about RM10K ++. They know this amount easily can get, either from their bank or borrow from relative or friends instead of big figure like RM50K-RM100K. Kidnappers want easy and fast money and one day they can kidnap 1-2 kids. My goodness!! Scary man!

Right now, it had 4 similar cases happen in Serum now.

Becareful folks…..and watch out your children when they playing at car porch or outside the house. You will never know who is watching you.

Sales strategy

I have a good business partner for my online store, Kids Islands. He is none other than my dear hubby. No double he own lot of experience in terms of sales and marketing. I still have to learn from him from time to time. in fact, his 6sigma theory very good to apply onto my online business. I can save the money to attend those sales training but just learn from him when it is necessary. After all it is free!!

One of my blogger even requests him to write more article on sales and marketing strategy at his 6sigma blog. Look like his theory really caught lot of reader.
